“Yep.” Eyes sparkling, Gareth beamed. “That’s why you love me.”
That kind of confidence was the sexiest thing I could imagine.
“You’re such a pain in the ass.” As soon as he said it, Cashel squirmed, knowing Gareth too well.
Ignoring Cashel’s groan, Gareth shook his head. “No butts this time. I’ve still got to have conversations and we didn’t talk about your limits on that.”
Cashel’s eyes went startlingly wide but Gareth took pity on the nervous sub. “But if you promise not to freak out, I won’t ask about that limit. For now.”
“Someone needs to shoot me.” Closing his eyes, somehow wonderfully dramatically, Cashel sighed and missed Gareth’s wicked grin. “Just shoot me.”
“Is that a kink I don’t know about?” Gareth cocked his head, clearly pretending to be confused that time. “I’m not sure that’s safe.”
Snorting, Cashel huffed but opened his eyes and smiled. “Fine. No freaking out.”
They were adorable.
“Will you freak out if I ask Bates to look up the pup stuff online with me?” Gareth’s eyes darted back and forth between us questioningly. “I won’t ask about looking at sex toys this time.”
And the eyes closed again.
“I should’ve left the blindfold on.” Cashel’s drama lasted a few seconds before he shrugged. “I’m stuck. Helpless. There’s nothing I can do to stop you.”
Gareth’s brows pulled together and he looked over at me before he mouthed silently. “Safeword?”
Nodding, I didn’t bother trying to hide my grin. Besides safewording, the nut could’ve just gotten up because he was barely restrained and it would’ve fallen off as soon as he did more than wiggle.
And judging by how still he was being, he had no intention of moving.
The answer relaxed Gareth but there were still questions in his eyes. I wasn’t sure what to expect but he surprised me and gave Cashel a smacky kiss. “Alright. But do you need a drink of water or a snack? Didn’t Brady say something about taking care of a sub after a scene?”
Gareth seemed to think that was slightly skeptical, though. He propped his head up in one hand and got the cutest thoughtful expression. “I think I’m supposed to get you water and a cookie? He might’ve made up that cookie part, though.”
Oh yeah.
“Water is a good idea.” But who to go get it and who to make sure our nervous boy didn’t forget about that no panic promise?
Gareth took care of that question.
He gave Cashel another quick peck and nearly hopped off the bed. “I’ll get him water.”
Alright then.
“Thank you. There are some water bottles in the cabinet over the sink that have straws and will be easier for him to drink.” Since he wasn’t going to ruin his perfectly crafted insanity by actually moving.
“Great. Be right back.” Wearing a wide, unconcerned smile, Gareth nearly bounced out of the room, leaving Cashel and I together.
When he was gone, Cashel’s eyes popped open and he started to frantically whisper. “Was that his mouth? I couldn’t tell at the end. It was confusing. But did he panic? Was he worried? Did he think I came too soon? Did I make him work too long? That’s rude, right?”
The things he found to worry about were fascinating.
“You were not rude. I’m not surprised it was confusing because you were pretty deep by the end. And nothing we did worried him except at the end when he started worrying that you were going to worry.” Raising one eyebrow, I let that sink in.
It only took a few seconds to realize that his possible reaction had been the only stressful part of the whole thing for Gareth. My curious boy loved having fun with his partners and it hadn’t been until we started releasing the restraints that he’d started to overthink the situation.
“Oh.” Cashel took a breath and slowly let it out. “Okay. Good.”
He was so cute.
