Especially when he joined in, taking his own handful of lotion and crouching down to smooth it over her legs. His touch made her skin come to life again when all the arousal had finally started to simmer down.
Maybe it was a good thing she was stuck here all week. It would give this insane attraction some time to dissipate. Heck, half of his appeal might just be from not knowing enough about him. Definitely, the more she’d gotten to know her exes, the less she’d liked them… which was how they’d ended up being exes.
Though she was surprised when his fingers didn’t start wandering.
“Are Doms supposed to do that?” she asked, amused and waving her hands at her legs as Brian got to his feet.
He raised his eyebrows, as though he wasn’t sure where her question was coming from.
“Do what?”
“Get on their knees and… you know. Lotion.” She waved her hand again. “Aren’t I supposed to be serving you?”
Rubbing his hands together, he cocked his head at her as he moved around behind her, seeming to think about what she’d said. Looking at her in the mirror, he began to smooth lotion across her back, and her shoulders relaxed.
“Do you want to put lotion on me?” he asked after a moment.
“Not particularly. Does that make me a bad sub?” It made her feel a little bad that she didn’t want to reciprocate. She would if he asked her to, but it wouldn’t have occurred to her to do it first.
Master Damian, her recent ex, never tried to help her with anything. Mostly, she’d been expected to serve him. She’d liked parts of it, but it had gotten wearing, and he hadn’t been willing to compromise on what he’d wanted, and neither had she.
“It does not make you a bad sub at all.” Brian’s tone was mild but firm. “Every kinky relationship looks different. You have to figure out what it’s going to look like together. No two Doms are going to want exactly the same things, just like two submissives won’t. Would you and Domi want the same things?”
“No.” Rae didn’t even have to think about it. She knew she and Domi liked very different things. Some of the things Damian had wanted, Domi wouldn’t have hesitated to do, and some of the things Rae wanted, Domi would balk at.
It made sense when Brian said it. And it wasn’t like Damian had actually said she was a bad submissive for not doing certain things… but she’d felt like he thought that. More than once. Which, ironically, had just made her want to be worse. So, that had worked out well for him.
She sighed as Brian dug his fingers into her shoulder blades, slumping forward and relaxing into his touch. With her braids already under her bonnet, she didn’t have to worry about the lotion getting on them, and she could just enjoy.
“I like taking care of my… sub.” There was only the slightest pause where he changed what he was originally going to say, which was probably ‘little’ or ‘babygirl.’ “It makes me happy and fulfills me. It doesn’t matter who is on their knees. I’m still the one in charge.”
His voice rang with confidence.
Rae had to admit, that was hot. It was the part of Daddy Doms that she did find appealing. She liked being taken care of. It made her feel loved. She knew that part of that came from the fact that her actual Daddy had always taken care of her. Her parents showed a lot of affection and other expressions of love. Every morning, her mom made coffee for her dad even though she didn’t drink it herself, and every evening, her dad made tea for her mom even though he complained about her tea drawer.
They took care of each other, and they’d taken care of her, too, in the same way.
Yet again, Brian was almost perfect.
Almost.
“Come on,” he said, sliding his fingers around her neck in a possessive movement that sent a happy little shiver down her spine. “Let’s get some sleep. It’s going to be an early start to the morning.”
“It is?” she asked as she yawned, letting him lead her out of the bathroom. As far as she knew, it was just a day on the beach with everyone.
“If you want to make sure we’re out of here before anyone can wake up and see us coming out…” He let his voice trail off.
Oh, right. They needed to keep everything about their current arrangement hidden away from their friends. Far, far away. Unless she wanted everyone’s nose in their business, which she did not.
“Right. Yeah, up early,” she agreed with another yawn. It was like now that her body knew she was ready for bed, she could barely keep her eyes open.
“Come on, sleepyhead, let’s get you tucked in.” Brian’s voice was threaded through with amusement, and even though she wanted to protest at him talking to her like a child, she had to admit that being taken care of like this felt nice. She didn’t have to do a thing as he got her into the bed, the sheets pulled up to her chin, then he climbed in behind her and spooned his body around hers. She loved being the little spoon and snuggled right in.
Brian
Hanging out on the beach with the full group was torture. Everyone was coupled up except him and Rae, and he wanted to be touching her… rubbing sunscreen into her back… hanging out with his arm around her…
It was better this way, though. Even if they didn’t care what their friends might think or say, the less they acted like a couple this week, the easier going back to real life would be. But it did chafe that he couldn’t do the things he wanted to do. Even something as simple as teasing or flirting with her.
