“It’s a yes or no question,” Carrington pressed.

I laughed. “You always get what you want?”

“No,” he responded. “So please say yes, but only if it would please you too.”

I paused, looking into his eager eyes. “Yes.”

Carrington

“I’m glad you’ll be coming.” I smiled. I knew I would be taking a risk bringing a male lover to my bed in Yastarus, but with Stefan’s and my mother’s help, I was sure we could make it work.

“Do you mean to Yastarus, or in my pants?” Eric snickered.

I chuckled in return. “So cheeky. I should put your bare bottom over my knee and give you a well-deserved spanking.”

Instead of the laugh I expected in response, his eyes popped and his dick prodded my waist. “Um…”

I looked at him with surprise. “Oh my, you’d like that wouldn’t you?”

“What? No,” he protested.

I ran a hand through his hair as I had already learned it soothed him. “I would be okay if you did. I would never hurt you. But administering a few playful slaps on the bum, just enough to make your cheeks pink, might be fun for both of us. I must confess, I fancied playing with your bum when we were outside yesterday.”

His dick had become engorged, and his face was a mix of astonishment, apprehension and lust. “Oh.”

I kissed him. If you desire a little spanking. There are so many things I wish to try with you. I’m sure we could agree on a few.”

He was silent for a moment, and I could tell he was busy thinking again. “Can I ask you a question?” he ventured.

“Of course,” I answered.

“I’m not just a list of gay sex things to check off, am I? I mean, when we get to the end of the list, will you…dismiss me?”

I pulled him close to me and spoke with a softer tone. “Eric, no. My words were unartful. You are not a checklist for me. I love sex, but like you, with people I care about. If I didn’t already feel affection for you, I wouldn’t be talking about more adventures. The expedition would be over already.”

He grinned, satisfied. “Sorry. I’m kind of insecure, I guess.”

I nodded. “You think?” I ruffled his hair. “I understand, though. Thank you for telling me about your childhood. It’s going to be my mission to make you see what an amazing man you are. After all, it takes a special person to awaken someone else’s buried sexual orientation. I don’t know if I would have ever realized this had I not met you. The funny thing is, I’m feeling at ease with it. That’s because of you. You just seem right for me.”

He beamed a little. “Yeah?”

“Hmm,” I hummed.

“Carrington?”

“Yes?”

Eric blushed. “I think I’d like to be spanked the way you described it.”

I grinned. “I know, baby. Your dick finds ways of communicating what your mouth holds back. Are you relaxed enough to sleep now?”

He nodded and sighed in contentment, laying his head on my chest. After a few moments, he was breathing heavily, and I knew he had fallen asleep. I was glad he would have a night where he would be able to find peace after waking from a nightmare.
