Marius groaned, “We know that. But, our guys think you could be, and that would be a good way for Sel to get you to make a commitment.”
Indio groaned and leaned over his lap, settling his elbows there so he could scrub over his face with his hands, trying to figure out what to do.
Pappy was crouching next to him, using that preacher voice he used so well. “Indio, I understand that this is frustrating, and you likely feel like you’re under a spotlight right now, but the reason we’ve gathered is to help you.”
“Help me how?” he asked with his hands covering his face.
“Binxie, well, he’s done this kind of thing before.”
Travis laughed and said, “And like this, he’s pulled other people into it, so he’s not the only one in trouble.”
“Travis, be fair,” Pappy said. “Binx doesn’t want to get anyone in trouble. He has good intentions.”
“Indio, really, they’re not trying to fuck you over,” Kirk said, and he finally looked up at the man.
“No?”
“No. Mal is in with them, and you know him. He’s not that way at all.”
It was true. Malcolm wasn’t a bad dude. He’d befriended Indio the moment he met him. “Okay, then what the fuck?”
Pappy went on, “They’ve seen Sel, and they are his friends. They know how Sel feels about you, and how they think you feel about Sel. And you do, we’ve all seen it, even if you try to deny it.”
That was exactly what he’d like to do, but he’d been struggling himself with his growing feelings about Sel. “Okay, so…what should I do then?”
Marius answered, “Go with it.”
“With what?”
Pappy explained, “They’ve spoken to Sel about trying out the lifestyle, and he is interested. They also have told him it’s really them that call the shots in the relationship, and that they let us believe we are in being the dominants.”
“They ain’t wrong,” Dallas said, pushing Marius.
“Hey, I never thought I called any shots with you. Ruben, on the other hand…”
Chuckling, Dallas said, “He knows he’s got us both whipped.”
“Same with Binxie. Nathan and I are very much enamored with him, which gives him a lot of leeway. The thing they understand is that the submissive does have the ultimate power. The safeword.”
Indio wasn’t stupid, he knew about that shit, but being confronted by all of them, while it was nice they were letting him in on the stupid fucking conspiracy, he wasn’t one to be backed into a corner, not from Sel, and not from them.
Without a word, he left and got on his bike, leaving the ranch, heading to the bunkhouse. While leaving his bike running, he rushed inside to see Sel surrounded by the other guys, all with their heads together, likely planning out his life.
He moved around the table where they sat and when Sel noticed him, one second before he grabbed Sel’s hand from the table, he said, “You’re coming with me. Now!”
Sel barely got a nod out before he was hurrying them to the door, almost dragging him to the bike. After rummaging around in his saddlebag, he pulled out two half-shell black helmets. Shoving one at him, he asked, “You ever been on a bike for more than a short ride?”
“N-no.”
“Hold onto me, not too tight and turn into the corners. Don’t fight against me while we’re riding. Watch me, and move your body like I move mine.”
“Oh okay. Sure.”
Indio mounted the bike and started to get on his helmet, and as soon as Sel’s was on, he got behind Indio and wrapped his arms around his middle.
Indio took off, but not before noticing all the men standing in the doorway of the bunkhouse, all pale and once again worried about Sel. There was no need, he didn’t want to hurt him.
Yet.
