“Want to try something on?”

“No?” His voice came out low, but it felt like a squeak.

“At home, then?”

“Definitely not at home.” He wouldn’t have the courage there.

Maybe if he had weeks to prepare. And then drove to another city. Or... maybe not.

It would be much scarier without Austin beside him.

He looked up to find Austin studying him, eyes scrunched like he was deep in thought.

“Would it help for me, as your Dom, to tell you to try them on?”

Mateo latched on to that. “Yes. Um… Please, Austin.” It wasn’t that he wanted to give up his independence, but for Austin to take over this one choice for him sounded heavenly. Like he could enjoy the pretty panties without any of the guilt and fear.

Austin grinned for just a moment before his face turned stern. “In that case, boy, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. I want to see you in those pretty panties. And the shirt-thing.” His lips quirked up, because this wasn’t too serious. “Try it on.”

“Yes,... Austin.” It was getting harder and harder not to call him Daddy.

“Want me to help?”

“No!” That was definitely a squeak. “Um… I’ll just go into the bathroom.” Where there was a mirror. And a locking door.

“Can I make one more suggestion first?”

Mateo nodded. He appreciated that Austin checked everything with him, but he almost wished the suggestion were another command.

“If you’re going to wear lacy panties, they’ll feel so much better if you’re smooth.”

“Smooth? Like…”

The Daddy voice was back. “I’d like you to take a hot shower or a bath, whichever you prefer, and shave your balls. Shaving more is up to you.”

Mateo shivered. That sounded magnificent, even if it made his stomach knot. But who would see him?

“OK. Uh… how?”

“Lots of hot water. Plenty of shaving cream. Then pull the skin so it’s taut—you don’t want any wrinkles for the razor to catch on. Do you have a razor here?”

“Yeah.” A good one, pretty much new since it stayed in his travel kit.

“Then get to it, boy. I’m going to go grab a few things and come back.”

“Oh, um, do you want my room card?” He already trusted Austin so much, this seemed trivial. He twisted around until he’d drag it out of his pocket.

“Thank you.” Austin gave him a soft kiss on the forehead before accepting the card. “I’ll probably be back before you’re out of the shower.”

After Austin left, Mateo gathered his packages, holding them to his chest because Austin couldn’t see him do it. He didn’t know how anything would look, but just the idea of it, that his weekend Daddy had bought them for him and wanted him to try them on…

He fumbled around the bathroom, getting everything ready that he needed, then he began.

The challenge of shaving his balls was enough to keep him distracted all through his shower. They were so… vulnerable. Smooth and delicate in a way they’d never been before.

He nicked himself once, but that was all. And the way that they felt…

He forced his hands away before things went too far.
