Niall squeezed my hand, stroking his thumbover me gently. “That seems to be the only threat that carries any weight.”
“I’m starting to see why Asa has to writeso many lines.” We were going to have to find something boring to use as apunishment if the little handful actually needed one.
“I concur.” Niall was still smiling as weheaded up the stairs, but as we made our way to his room, I could feelsomething shifting.
I just wasn’t sure what he was thinking orif I needed to be worried about the change in his emotions. There was a part ofme that wanted to poke at it and dissect what he was feeling, but that wouldjust end in drama.
Focusing on how happy he’d been downstairsand the way he’d looked at me when he’d said he wanted us to make love, I triedto find a midpoint between my Dom side and my sub side. It was never easy tofind, so it was easy to imagine Keegan pointing out that I might want to talkto Miles about it.
The brat was right even when he was just inmy head.
It was frustrating.
“You’re thinking too hard.” Niall stoppedus in the door as Keegan knelt on the bed, bouncing so he could flash his dickagain.
“Keegan is always right even when he’s justa voice in my head.” I looked at Niall and gave him a rueful grin. “I thinkthat’s something else he needs to be punished for.”
Niall was trying not to laugh as he nodded.“Agreed. I think that’s a fine idea.”
Keegan flopped backward dramatically.“Hurry. I’m going to get old like you two by the time we actually get to thegood part and I get to see you fuck like demons.”
I turned to Niall and raised one eyebrow.“I think we have a naughty boy who needs to learn his place.”
The heat returned to his eyes and whateverhe’d been worrying about faded. “I think I have the perfect solution.”
This was going to be fun.
Chapter 21
Niall
“Just think.” I shook my head as I finishedrestraining Keegan. “If you’d behaved yourself, you would’ve been able to touchyour dick while we were making love.”
Keegan was just a bit too turned on to beable to decide if that would’ve been better or not. He seemed to be enjoyingthe restraints that left him unable to do anything but walk on his knees. “I’lltry to do better next time, Master?”
That would’ve been more convincing if ithadn’t come out like a question.
I reached between his legs and gave theplug a pat. “If you’re not careful, I’ll take out your plug.”
That had his eyes widening. “I’ll be verygood next time, Master, and this time I’ll take my punishment without whining.Promise.”
That’s what I thought.
And so did Julian, judging by the grin hewas trying to hide.
Straightening, I studied Keegan and decidedI liked the way the straps looked on his naked body. The T-shirt and socks hadbeen innocently wicked, but the leather that was wrapped around him lookedincredible.
“I think we should get him some gear forthe club.” I stroked my hand down his chest and over the straps that had hisarms pinned to his torso. “What do you think?”
Keegan knew I wasn’t talking to him andtried to turn to look at Julian. I just raised one eyebrow and cleared mythroat and his head swung back around. “Sorry.”
For now, at least.
Ignoring his cheeky behavior, I shifted soI could look around Keegan easier. “What do you think?”
Julian had been in the bathroom while Ispent my time getting Keegan restrained, so he hadn’t been around to give hisopinion on the whole project.
He nodded, his gaze taking in the straps ashe focused on Keegan’s ass. “What do you think about finding him something thatkeeps his dick covered but leaves his ass bare?”
