David smiled to himself as he seasoned the steaks, but didn’t answer. It had been delivered to his photography studio on the Monday following his and Paige’s two rounds of Saturday night sex, with a card that read, ‘What the hell. You deserve this. With much appreciation, Paige.’
He’d laughed out loud, remembering the conversation with Paige about what would happen after they had sex. His suggestion that she send him a giant gift basket—specifically the kind with assorted muffins—had been thrown out there to mainly lighten the mood, but she’d remembered it.
“You got it from Cat Lady, didn’t you?” Evan surmised, taking a seat at the table.
David nodded. “Yes.”
“What’s the occasion? An apology for Handcuffgate?”
“No.”
“Well, it can’t be for your one-month anniversary together, since you two are just casual and wouldn’t be celebrating something like that …”
“Can you please, you know, drop it?”
“You know asking me to drop it never actually results in me dropping it, right?”
David looked at Evan over his shoulder. “It’s an inside joke, okay? A thank you for … sex.”
Evan hard-swallowed the drink he’d just taken. “Wait. You and Cat Lady had sex?”
“Yes.”
“When?”
“Saturday night.”
Evan pondered that for a moment. “So, how was it?”
“It was good. And that’s the only detail you’re getting.”
Evan shrugged and took another drink. “I’m more interested in the details of Handcuffgate, anyway. I’ve gone through several possible scenarios in my head and I’m dying to know if one of them is right.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah. Some of them are pretty wild. The one I’m rooting for involves role play.”
“Christ. We weren’t role playing. Why would you even think that?”
“I have a vivid imagination,” Evan replied. “So, if you weren’t role playing, what were you doing?”
With a sigh, David began. “We were just casually fooling around and—”
“Stop with the ‘casual’ bullshit. You let Cat Lady cuff you to your bed, man. That doesn’t scream casual to me.”
“What does it scream, then?”
“Uh … trust. A lot of trust. It was probably misplaced, though, since she left you hog-tied to the bed.”
“I wasn’t ‘hog-tied’,” David objected. “And anyway, her leaving me like that wasn’t on purpose. We had a … misunderstanding … and she left for a few minutes.”
“What kind of misunderstanding?”
“Just a misunderstanding, and that’s all I can say. If I told you more, she wouldn’t like that.”
“Fair enough. So, why did Cat Lady cuff you to your bed? Is that her kink?”
“It was my idea, actually.”
