Ugh. I was going to have to do research too.
“It can’t be mean to me.” That seemed a vague enough limit I thought it would work. “And nothing scary.”
“You’ve both lost your fucking minds.” Silas seemed to have decided that he wasn’t going to pretend to be worried about me any longer. “Fuck it. Use safewords. Talk about goddamned limits first. You can use one of the view rooms or the small stage at the back but nothing private the first time. I don’t care if that’s embarrassing, I’m fucking worried about everyone’s safety and sanity.”
Stomping back toward the door that I assumed went deeper into the club, he grumbled about crazy people and ridiculous decisions. I was pretty sure he was talking about me and Not-Henry but I wasn’t sure why.
“Does he know who his partner is?” There was no way we were more interesting than they were. “I’m kind of confused.”
“They’re always confusing. I think it’s what makes them perfect for each other.” Not-Henry sighed. “That and they both like Austin running around naked and in high heels.”
“Do I have to wear heels?” I didn’t have that kind of balance. “They won’t match my outfit.”
“Nope. But we need to talk about how naked you want to get and what your goals are.” Not-Henry grinned when I sighed. “I filled out your limits list, don’t worry, but I can’t be the one to decide if you want to be naked or not.”
That was unfortunate.
“What would you say if youcoulddecide?” I was pretty sure a Dom could make all kinds of decisions for their sub. So I guess we just needed to make sure I was his sub? “What kind of planning do we need to do to begin with to make sure you can decide that later?”
Short-term torture for long-term gain seemed like a good trade-off.
“I was going to say be your Dom but since I’m going to be that tonight it might not be the right answer.” Frowning and still slightly broody, Not-Henry took the issue seriously. “Dom and someone you’re dating?”
Worked for me.
“You pick out really good takeout places.” Orgasms and dinner made it a date, right? “Do you know anywhere good around here? I was just following the GPS directions, so I’m not sure where we are.”
Other than a slightly sketchy warehouse district on the other side of town.
“Yeah, you haven’t eaten Thai food lately. How about that?” Not-Henry shifted us toward the interior door to the club.
“As long as we can get a table, that sounds great.” It was nice dating someone who already knew what I liked. “But if we need to pick something else, I don’t want—”
“Pizza.” Not-Henry groaned as I gave a half nod and shrugged. “Do you know how many meals you had that this week?”
It was cheap and I hadn’t felt like cooking when I was still pouting over the job thing.
“Too much.” It would be a while before it sounded good again, but I had some incredible coupons. “I’ll be hungry later, though.”
Not-Henry snorted as he opened the door for me. “I’ve mentally prepared for that, and since I’m taking you out on a date, I’m going to pay.”
“Well, I’m getting naked for the first part of our date, so it only seems fair.” I wasn’t sure why the receptionist guy found that so funny, but he seemed to think we were hilarious. “Do you want an orgasm too? I forgot to ask.”
I’d gotten distracted with the wholefinally talking to Not-Henrything.
“I’m flexible, but either way, I’m going to go home and jerk off to the memory of tying you up.” Not-Henry shrugged when I looked confused. “Some people get weird about that, so I thought I’d give you a heads-up.”
“I’d be disappointed if you didn’t.” I was going to get a good orgasm, so I was hoping he’d enjoy it too. “You said you liked how I looked.”
He couldn’t change his mind and decide I wasn’t worth orgasming to.
“I do.” Not-Henry was sweet and gave my ass a squeeze. “I’m going to enjoy seeing you naked too.”
Good.
“So you don’t mind being hard and not getting to come yet?” Hopefully he’d be hard. I knew for some people, finding me attractive and actually feelingsexualattraction were two different things, but they seemed tied together for Not-Henry. “I just want to make sure you’re not going to leave frustrated with me.”
Because that seemed to have been part of the whole dirty pictures on the internet fiasco.
