Sebastian laughed and Neil clung to him tighter as his torso shook. “As a matter of fact, Neil gave some incredible advice on our budget and small business loans.”

“From under your desk?” Jamie asked slyly.

“No, he sat beside me and made a very pretty picture for me to tease and enjoy.” Sebastian had given Neil little touches all afternoon. A thumb smoothed across the back of his hand. A path traced along his thigh. Fingers stroking down his beard or clenching it tight when Sebastian wanted him to know how very, very good he was being. It had been a delightful tease for both of them.

It was sensuous and sexy, but also intimate. Almost romantic. A kind of claiming. Sebastian’s answer to Neil’s request to touch him without asking first each time.

Sebastian caressed Neil’s scalp, evoking a pleased murmur. He loved how Neil had relaxed against him, just going completely boneless.

In a startling flash of memory, Sebastian found himself thinking about Henri, who’d relaxed in the same way. Or at least at the beginning. Other slabs of memory crashed down on the first one, of Sebastian holding Henri’s tense body against him, unable to find that magic again.

Sebastian pushed the thought way, focusing just on Neil, who was warm and cuddly and here. He’d forgotten how much he enjoyed this.

Jamie liked snuggling, but he was constantly moving or shifting or caressing, never still unless he was bound or sleeping. Neil was like a blank canvas, thirsty to soak every brush of paint inside himself where it would leave a mark.

“I liked that,” Neil offered quietly. “I liked the way you touched me today, Sir.”

“I know.” Sebastian ran his hands over the smooth skin of Neil’s head again. “That’s how I know that you’re a delightful sub and a very good boy.” It seemed like Neil had a previously unknown hard limit around role playing, but was still up for other explorations this weekend.

Neil stirred against him, or maybe that was Jamie rubbing up behind him and pushing him into Sebastian. Either way, it had Neil’s leg rubbing up Sebastian’s cock, with only the thin fabric between them and Neil moaning softly in his throat.

Arousal had been the last thing on Sebastian’s mind when he led Neil upstairs, but now that Neil seemed to be feeling better and they’d talked it through, it was hard not to respond to his body. Especially with the increased hardness against his leg and the soft, pleased sounds coming from Neil’s mouth.

Sebastian would have avoided anything else sexual or kinky tonight, but Jamie seemed to be getting Neil worked up. While Sebastian knew that Jamie liked to push limits, he also had a deep trust in his partner’s ability to read people. Sebastian would have been happy with just an evening cuddling in bed, but if the two boys wanted something else, he could definitely follow their lead.

“What else do you like?” Jamie asked.

When Neil didn’t answer right away, Sebastian prompted him. “Tell him, baby.”

“I just want... Well, I was going to say that I wanted whatever you wanted. But I was clearly wrong about that with the scene tonight.”

“I think what you said,” Sebastian corrected gently, “was that you were very interested in impact play, curious about exhibitionism, looking for an emotional connection, and hadn’t considered role playing at all but were willing to try it. So I’d say that you were very accurate in your descriptions, and when you tried out the role play it didn’t work, especially because it seemed to remove the emotional connection. So next time you can say that role play is a hard limit. This dynamic is all about finding something that all of us enjoy. That’s why we explore.”

“Yeah,” Neil exhaled. “I think I was just focused on the spanking part and hoping the rest of it would work out.”

“Oooh! Spankings!” Jamie chimed in. “I think Neil needs a spanking, Daddy!”

Neil froze, a noticeable shift when their bodies were pressed so closely together. “I don’t think I want to be punished right now.”

“No, baby.” Sebastian combed through Neil’s beard, enjoying how the short, rough hair smoothed under his fingers. “Of course not. This would be a reward for being so good today and using your safeword when you needed to. Would you like that?”

There was a long pause, and Sebastian gave Jamie a stern look over Neil’s head to make sure he didn’t interrupt. This had to be Neil’s decision.

“Then I think I’d like that, Sir.”

Sebastian may have let out a groan himself. “Now or later? There’s plenty of time over the next two days, and we don’t have to do anything tonight. I’m very happy holding you like this. If you want it, though, I’d love to turn your ass a pretty pink.”

Neil sucked in a breath. “Now, Sir? I was really looking forward to tonight. And… I think I just want to know if this is actually something that I want.”

Sebastian was certain that it would be. He didn’t yet know whether Neil would enjoy a few light slaps with his hand or the heavier sting or thud of a belt or whip, but that was the fun of playing.

“Come here, then, boy.” Sebastian made his voice deep and commanding, loving the way just the sound of it made Neil draw in a gasp and rock against him.

Neil sat up. “Where do you want me, Sir?”

Sebastian moved up against the headboard of the bed, cushioning his back with a few pillows. He instructed Jamie to take up the same position next to him, since he had plans. “Right here, baby boy.” He patted his thigh.

Neil’s eyes grew large with wonder as he looked between the two of them. “How do I…”
