Page 24 of All Tied Up

It was about Neil, with his shy blushes and hopeful smiles. The boy was bringing out his Daddy urges something fierce.

Jamie was clearly enchanted with him, and Sebastian was, well, maybe a little more excited about him than he wanted to admit. Something that had clicked when he told the boy to relax in the bath and checked in on him later with a homemade sandwich.

Sebastian loved Jamie’s sassy playfulness, the way that he loved to push boundaries and stir up chaos just so Sebastian could attempt to tame and control him, feeding off that electrifying energy.

But Sebastian had a soft spot for the sweet ones, the ones who just wanted to be good for Daddy and gave it all of their hearts and souls.

Sebastian hadn’t had that in his life since Henri, and that had been a long time ago, the year they’d opened the Meadowlark. The thought of Henri didn’t ache any more, but the memory of what they’d had together, the way that they all fit before everything fell apart, still sent a lingering pain through his chest.

Not that he and Jamie were looking for a permanent third to add to their relationship or anything.

It was just that they were both at their best with a sweet boy to dote on and for Jamie to tease. It was strange that Jamie hadn’t picked someone like that before for a scene.

But Jamie had clearly picked Neil for this weekend, and that was… doing interesting things to Sebastian’s libido. And other parts of him, too.

Well, hopefully Neil would want to play, and he and Jamie could spend the weekend introducing him to the joys of kink. He could even imagine it extending outside the bedroom or the dungeon, maybe lunch or a movie where he took care of both of his boys. He’d already started it, so would there be any harm in continuing that way? Since it was just two days?

Sebastian directed a few other guests to the basement, in between taking a call in the office and getting someone an extra towel. He didn’t see most of them, since they’d presumably taken the elevator, but those he saw were dressed in their kinky finest.

The whole evening has charge in the air, making him feel not just aroused, but something more. There was a sense of anticipation, of possibility.

When it was time, he set the lock on the front door to require key card access a couple hours early. He’d switched the sign out front to read NO VACANCY this morning, but people still came in sometimes. This definitely wasn’t a night when they wanted unexpected visitors, and all of the Cuffd Destination guests were already checked in.

By the time he sauntered down the stairs, he could hear an excited buzz of conversation.

The basement was divided into two sections. One half was a typical rec room with a pool table, ping-pong table, a shelf of board games, and a few baskets of toys for children of various ages. That part was always accessible.

The other half was usually kept locked, but the door stood open tonight. He could already see the St. Andrew’s cross through the crowd of people. They had a few other pieces of large equipment, but it had all been pushed to the side for tonight’s mixer.

Sebastian strode in, already feeling the anticipation in the air. Everyone was dressed up in their kinky finest, setting the mood for seduction and the possibility of new connections.

There were leather Daddies and Daddies in expensive suits. Boys wearing metal and makeup, or little scraps of cloth that revealed more than they hid. And the dinosaur pajamas, of course.

Sebastian always loved seeing people’s outfits. There was an element of performance to it all, but also a chance to explore, to play, to express your most authentic self or whoever you wanted to be.

The boy with the tattoos caught Sebastian’s eye and greeted him with a quick nod, but he was already deep in conversation with another sub. Overall, the group seemed to be gelling well. Some were chatting, some observing, and others were filling small plates with crackers and cheese.

Jamie was rushing around getting the last few things ready. He looked stunning tonight in a tight, black corset that always made Sebastian forget to breathe for a moment.

Jamie was already slender, with wiry muscles and solid abs. He didn’t need any help to look dainty beside Sebastian’s solid bulk.

Yet there was something about the way that the corset cinched his waist those extra few inches, or perhaps the way that Sebastian knew it constricted his chest and lungs. It was like a form of bondage that Jamie put himself into, leaving him panting and breathless, just on the edge of discomfort for Sebastian’s eager approval.

Sebastian definitely approved.

His eyes traced the tight column of laces up the back, and Sebastian realized that Neil must have tightened the strings for him. Sebastian licked his lips at the thought.

Jamie bent to arrange something on a table, drawing Sebastian’s gaze to the scrap of a skirt that flared out to swirl around his ass. From this position, it offered tempting glimpses of a scrap of pale green lace outlining those creamy cheeks.

Almost ten years together, and the urge to bend Jamie over that table and fuck him until he screamed hadn’t abated at all.

But of course, they had a room full of guests and the kinky displays were for tomorrow night.

When Jamie stood, he noticed Sebastian right away and scurried over to him for a quick kiss. The boy’s eyes were shaded with a dramatic blue and green that matched his shimmery skirt, and a dangly silver earring hung from one ear. He’d changed to his blade-shaped prosthetic tonight for greater mobility, and bounced with every step in his excitement.

“Hey, Dragonfly,” Sebastian greeted him.

“Hey, Daddy,” Jamie batted his beautiful eyes, running a seductive finger up Sebastian’s chest.
