“I know a lot of other things about him, so it’s not that important.” People were really hung up on that. “He likes blue. That’s why I’m in blue. He knows my favorite restaurants. I know he likes cheesecake. He likes taking care of me too. So I’m being a really good sub and letting him make as many decisions as he wants to.”
“I like the way he thinks.” Austin’s cheerful voice made me smile until I realized he was Austin Johnson. “You can keep him.”
Was it his decision?
“It’s not your decision to make, Trouble.”
Hmm.
Maybe I liked Silas more than I’d thought.
“But…he was mine first.” Austin tripped over the whole name thing and sighed. “Not saying his name is hard.”
“Not-Henry is mine now.” And I was going to be stubborn about it no matter what Austin thought. He might’ve been rich and smart but Not-Henry was mine. “He and I worked that out.”
His low chuckle was probably because we still had some details to work out but that was okay because he probably liked going through fine print.
“Yes, I’m yours.” Since he sounded pleased with that, I decided I didn’t have to worry or open my eyes yet. “And you’re mine.”
“I’m glad you haven’t changed your mind.” Too many people changed their minds once orgasms took place, but maybe sincethat was one-sided for the time being I didn’t have to worry about it yet? “Do you think you will once you get a chance to orgasm?”
“I wasn’t sure if you were going to fuck him in the swing or not.” Austin’s matter-of-fact tone was nice. “But I’m glad you both seemed to have had fun.”
Austin was just as interesting in person as I thought he’d be when I’d seen him on TV the first time.
“We have so far.” As long as I didn’t forget Not-Henry’s favorite parts. “We’ve discussed the parts we liked best and what will make Not-Henry happy. I didn’t forget him even if being tied up and orgasming is my favorite part.”
“It looked like a really good one.” Austin shifted and I had a feeling he’d gotten closer. “Why does being tied up give you the best orgasms?”
Thankfully, before I had to figure out a reasonable answer to that question Silas cleared his throat. “Trouble?”
“Oh. I apologize if that was too personal.” He didn’t seem sorry but trying was important too. “Do you need water?”
Maybe?
Not-Henry might be ready for attention or a way to escape too.
A good sub would probably make sure he didn’t need to be rescued.
As I opened my eyes and saw the curtains that were drawn around the small stage area, I realized I’d been right about Austin getting closer. I was also right about him being happy because he gave me a big smile like he was glad to see me, not hisTV personality smile that some people didn’t realize was fake. “Hi. I’m Austin.”
Did he think I didn’t know that?
Famous people were always odd, so I took my cue from him and smiled back. “I’m Shelby. I’m Not-Henry’s online friend and now in-person dating friend.”
“And sub.” Not-Henry’s eyes sparkled but he seemed against actually smiling. “My sub, Austin.”
If that was a hint that Austin should leave us alone, he pretended not to notice. “I’m glad he likes blue. It looks very good on you.”
Yes, thank goodness.
“I’d have worn it even if it made me look terrible. It’s important to be confident in what you’re wearing but sometimes you have to make compromises.” I was resigned to having to move and Not-Henry seemed to realize that because he adjusted the hammock thing so I was sitting up in it almost like it was a chair.
We were definitely going to have to figure out how to get me one in my apartment because it would be great to relax and watch TV in.
“There’s a shade of blue for everyone but this one works for both of us.” And it had a lot of accessories online which made it even more helpful. “Like pink.”
I nodded toward Austin’s outfit. “The different shades work well together and you found ones that complement your skin tone. That’s not always easy.”
