Austin

“There’s a table at three o’clock with sparkling cider and some cheese cubes and crackers. Ooooh… and two good looking Daddies who just walked in. Muscley bear types. Just makes you want to lick all that leather…”

Austin chuckled. He still wasn’t sure why he was here, but listening to Jamie “show him around the room” was hilarious. The boy was incorrigible. “Does your new boyfriend want you licking all that leather?” he teased.

“My new boyfriend likes me licking his leather. But he also thinks I look hot on my knees for another guy… while he watches from Daddy’s lap.”

“Naturally.” He didn’t know how Jamie kept up with it all.

Austin couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm for one partner, let alone the orgy Jamie was clearly planning in his head.

He hadn’t been planning on coming this weekend. Deadlines still loomed, as much as he was making an effort to relax. It was only a last-minute call from Jamie, practically throwing a room at him, that brought him out.

God, he really did need a vacation, though. He wasn’t really here for the kink—just Jamie’s commentary—but a vigorous hike in the mountain air sounded good. Hanging out on the patio with Neil and Sebastian this afternoon had already been more enjoyable than anything in the past year.

“Anything else?” he prompted Jamie, who was clearly still drooling over the Daddies.

“Um… No furniture in the middle of the room. There’s a spanking bench and a St. Andrew’s cross pushed against the wall, but I think those are big enough for you to avoid. Chairs on the opposite wall for the game I told you about. Mmmmm… Adorable little twink in some itty bitty blue briefs. I think his handle is BabyBoyB if you want to look him up. Likes impact play and some psychological stuff, if I recall. I bet he’s a load of fun.”

Austin shrugged. The idea of impact play sparked a moment of heat, an automatic response to the memory of holding a flogger in his hand while it flashed across someone’s back. But that was all. He didn’t want that with some stranger.

“Master Carlos just walked in. Not sure if you knew he was coming.”

Austin didn’t, but he was glad Jamie had mentioned him. “I’ll make sure to say hello.” It might be nice to catch up at some point.

“Ooooh… sexy sub, looking hot in a sequined dress. I think we’re gonna be besties. White, sparkling dress hugging every curve, and a bubblegum pink wig. I want those shoes. Do you think they’d be up for a scene?”

Austin looked toward the door. He could make out blobs of people, though the colors got muddied once they veered toward blues and greens. But one of them seemed to be wearing a lot of white, set off against ebony skin—presumably the object of Jamie’s lust. “I think that if you ask right now, your Daddy will have you over his lap by the end of the night.”

That was the rule Sebastian had set up—a rule that was almost certainly designed to be broken rather than followed.

“I know!” Jamie was positively gleeful. A moment later, his fingers tightened on Austin’s arm. “Oh, poor thing.”

“Huh?”

“There’s this sweet baby sub, Mateo, totally new to the kink scene. He’s just standing in the doorway like a deer in the headlights. God, and I didn’t think to go over kink-wear with him.”

Austin made a curious sound. His heart went out to the newbie.

“Yeah, he looks like he’s going out to a bar with his buddies. Loose jeans, blue plaid flannel, and work boots that he probably wears for actual work. Hey, Mateo!” Jamie raised his voice, calling out over the low din. “Mateo!”

Apparently the yell did the trick, because Jamie was whispering in his ear. “Did I tell you that he has the cutest blush? He’s Latino, and you can see it right through his gorgeous brown skin and that little bit of beard. He’s just flushed all over. God, he’s just a squishy little bear cub. Makes you want to squeeze those cheeks.”

Austin couldn’t help but smile. There didn’t seem to be a body type that Jamie wasn’t attracted to. And the guy did sound pretty cute.

Not that Austin was looking for anyone.

He made sure not to look like he was laughing when the distant blob resolved into a closer blob, with black hair and a bronzed—or maybe blushing red—face. He was a bit taller than Austin and broad, blocking out some of the light.

“Hey, Mateo!” Jamie called brightly. “Meet Austin, Dom extraordinaire. When he’s not ignoring us for his job.”

“Hey! I feel called out!”

Jamie hip checked him. “It’s good for you. And this is Mateo. Did I mention that he’s adorable and available?”

Austin shook his head. He could just bet that Jamie had said that to see the boy’s blush grow. Or maybe get the spanking he was after. “I believe you did. Sorry about my friend.” He nudged Jamie back, then stuck out his hand automatically. “Hey, Mateo, nice to meet you.”
