As I reluctantly pulled away, he sucked ina deep breath and seemed to be doing his best to gather up his scattered braincells. “Yes, Sir.”
“Tempting boy.” I stroked one finger downhis nose and over his full lips that were begging for a kiss that would leavehim desperate and needy.
My obvious desire had him smiling andmoving closer to press himself against my chest. “Thank you, Sir.”
Oh, he was going to be a handful, but I hada feeling he would be worth it.
Keeping him close since it was clear heliked to cuddle, I slowly made our way down toward the end of the hall. Whenthe crowd and the lights around the stages came into view, he stepped back justenough to see better, but he kept a tight hold on my hand.
“Oh, that’s fascinating.” His eyes widenedas he stretched up to see over the milling people watching the differentscenes.
Since his gaze was completely focused on ashibari scene toward the middle of the room, I steered us toward the back andled us through the different couples and groups of people. Keegan’s gaze neverwandered, so I had to be the one to make sure he didn’t run into anyone.
No one seemed to mind his distracted focus,though. If anything, the other Doms and subs found his fascination cute andmade enough room for us to find a space near the front of the crowd. I onlyvaguely knew the couple on the stage, but Keegan didn’t even ask about the subthat was kneeling on a raised platform or the Dom who was so intently watchinghim.
Keegan’s entire focus was on the ropes and,if I had to guess, the passion on their faces as the Dom slowly wrapped hisboy. It was almost like watching him slowly decorate the most precious gifthe’d ever been given.
It was clear they were more than justfriends who scened together. As time slowly passed and the sub drifted off intoanother world with restraints from the ceiling being the only thing keeping himupright, Keegan shifted in front of me and leaned back, his eyes never leavingthe pair.
People came and went around us as the scenekept going, but Keegan was content to watch. There was an obvious arousal inhis reactions, but it was the play of emotions on the couple’s faces that hadhim reacting the most.
A shiver from the sub had him pressing backagainst me.
A smile from the Dom had him sucking in abreath.
Even as the sub was finally allowed to comeand the rest of the audience seemed to be focused on that, Keegan didn’t responduntil the Dom stroked the boy’s cheek and gave him a tender kiss. When thecurtain around them was finally drawn, Keegan turned and cuddled against mychest. “That was wonderful. Thank you, Sir.”
Kissing the top of his head, I moved usover toward the side of the room and leaned against the wall, holding himagainst me. “Tell me what part you liked best.”
I knew enough about the artistic man in myarms to be ready for anything, and I wasn’t surprised. Keegan looked up at meand smiled. “They were so in sync with one another. The Dom knew every time thesub reacted, and he knew exactly how to control him. It was wonderful.”
Kissing his forehead again, I smiled. “Iagree. He even knew exactly when his boy started to come out of subspacebecause of the watch that was beeping.”
It’d been so low I didn’t think anyone hadreally noticed it until the Dom had looked over and given Mitch a firm glare. Ihad a feeling the beeping had been deliberate to get attention, but it wasn’tsomething anyone could’ve proven, even if the sub in question had chosen theother Dom over Mitch.
“Yes, he was completely focused on hissubmissive. It was very powerful.” Keegan looked over his shoulder at theclosed curtain, clearly not seeing the wall of fabric as he stared at it andthen back at me.
There was something on his mind, somethinghe was envisioning if I wasn’t misunderstanding the look on his face. But itwas so close to the one he’d given me when he’d first asked me to pose for himthat I was willing to guess. “What are you seeing, scamp?”
He blinked at me like he was clearing thefog in his brain.
“Do you really want to know? I mean, somepeople ask and then look at me strangely when I explain what I was picturingand what I wanted to create.” He waited patiently, just studying me until Inodded.
“Yes, I want to know what you were seeingwhen you watched the scene. I know it wasn’t exactly what everyone else waspicturing, but I can’t even begin to guess.” The only remotely artistic thing Icould do was bake. There was no way I could begin to understand how Keegan sawthe world.
I knew the moment he gave in; the set ofhis shoulders changed and he looked like he was preparing himself for myreaction. “I want to…I think sketch but maybe paint…I don’t know yet, but I wantto create something with you as the Dom and the sub.”
His head cocked, and he was back tostudying my expression like it was the key to figuring out everything aboutme…and maybe for him, it was.
I looked over at the closed curtain,picturing the scene as it’d played out before us. I wasn’t sure I could imaginemyself in something like a picture that way, but with the right partner I knewI could’ve easily been in either place.
Focusing back on Keegan, I tried to showhim what I was feeling, even if I didn’t understand everything myself. “I’m notcreative enough to imagine how it might turn out, but from a purely logicalstandpoint, I can see myself in both places. So yeah, having me in both placesat the same time would show that dual nature, right?”
Keegan nodded, and I could feel the tensionleaving his body. “Yes, that’s it exactly.”
I kissed his forehead again. “I can’t waitto see what you create.”
“It doesn’t bother you that I want to useyou in my art?” His body was more relaxed, but I could see that his mind wasstill whirling. “I’ve found that the idea makes a lot of people uncomfortable.”
