Page 87 of Ender's Curiosity

When he sat straighter and tried to look sober, I realized it’d probably been a liquid courage moment. “I do trust you to give me what I need. But that doesn’t mean you have to do something you’re not comfortable with.”

With his little speech out of the way, he leaned back in his seat and watched me expectantly. I wasn’t sure what he was thinking but asking probably wouldn’t have helped it to make sense. “I won’t. I promise.”

His frown said he wasn’t pleased with that answer.

“But we both know you would.” Slowly cocking his head like he was being very careful not to move too quickly, he studied me. “Yes, you would.”

Since that seemed to have taken a lot of effort to get out, I took the accusation very seriously. “Okay, I might do something I was on the fence about if I thought it was something you wanted, but I’m not going to do something that’s on my hard limits list or something that I’m not ready for.”

We might be at that point with my idea, but I wasn’t going to rush so we had time for me to figure out my stance on it.

A BDSM club couldn’t be too overwhelming, could it?

“As long as you’re not doing red things, I guess that’s okay.” Nodding mostly to himself, Ender seemed to mentally brush the conversation away as he picked up another fry. “I’ll worry about that later.”

Did that mean he was trying to relax tonight or was he actually scheduling his worries?

“I’m glad you’re not going to be nervous about it now.” I reached over and stole one of his fries since mine were already gone. “Just let me know when you decide to worry later so I have it in my schedule.”

Yep.

He frowned and glared at me. “I was going to worry about it tomorrow afternoon while you were working. That’s not very nice of you.”

He’d been scheduling it.

“How about you worry about it after dinner tomorrow and I’ll make you kneel for me. Instead of worrying alone, we can do it together.” I wasn’t sure if it was a stupid plan or made me a genius, but Ender was back to nodding.

“I think that’s reasonable as long as I don’t have to talk about it.” Before I could decide if I was going to agree to that stipulation or not, he continued. “I don’t know what I’m worrying about yet, so I can’t really articulate it.”

Carefully enunciating it like only a drunk person could, Ender aimed his thoughtful look at his food. “I think I’m full? Do you think I’m full?”

“Yes, because I want your fries.” And between his drink and his burger there was no way he was still hungry.

“I’m glad we agree on that.” Sighing as he pushed his plate closer to me, he smiled with relief as I picked up another fry. “Having a Dom is very handy.”

For eating leftover food or for making decisions?

Before I could ask, he finished off his drink and smiled distractedly. “Dates with you are just as much fun as regular nights out.”

Had that been a surprise?

Had that been something he’d been worried about?

“I’m glad.” Deciding that we weren’t at the point where even a casual interrogation would work, I did my best not to focus on what he might’ve been obsessing about. “I like spending time with you. I always have.”

Nodding as he gave his empty glass a longing glance, he didn’t seem to realize what was coming out of his mouth. “I do too and now I don’t have to worry about getting caught looking at your ass or trying to hold your hand.”

Refusing to get frustrated about what I’d missed before, I reached out and took his hand. “I’m glad I get to hold your hand and anything else I want to now.”

That got a dirty giggle out of Ender. “Because I belong to you.”

“And that means you get to look at my ass whenever you want to.” I thought I was being cute but he shook his head and looked confusingly serious.

“No, I can’t.” He thought that made perfect sense but I had no idea what he was talking about.

“Why?” Ender logic was amazing but nothing could hold a candle to drunk Ender logic, so I wasn’t worried yet.

Ender frowned and gave me a disbelieving look like the answer was obvious. “Because when we’re naked you’re always behind me.”
