“No,” Graham says, voice hard. He takes a step back, putting distance between them. “That’s not what I’m looking for. I want to belong to one person and I want that one person to be mine. I can take care of… my man.”

“Sounds like he’d be pretty lucky,” Colton says carefully.

Graham’s got a flush of anger and jealousy on his cheeks and he looks gorgeous.

“Yeah, he fucking would,” Graham growls. He turns and opens the glass door to step out, pissed.

“We’re still talking, Graham. You don’t get to leave in a fit of rage when the conversation isn’t over.” He likes Graham jealous and it probably makes him a terrible person, but if this goes on for too much longer, he’s going to act on his arousal. Graham all pissy and annoyed because he wants Colton to himself is something Colton wants more of in his life. And the Dom in him, the high designation part of himself that gets off on a few things that make him quite a jerk sometimes, likes it too.

He wants to cajole Graham, push him, make him give in. Colton wants proof that Graham wants him despite himself. That even when he’s annoyed he still wants Colton. Maybe that’s too much to ask.

Colton’s going to ask anyway.

“What, you think I’m going to wait for you to excuse me? Get your permission? No. Screw you.”

“Yeah. That’s exactly what I think. Shut the door and stand where you were before.”

A blush comes to Graham’s cheeks and Colton drops a hand down, touches himself idly.

Graham looks, a long moment of watching Colton touch himself, then he swallows hard. He blushes more. He’s everything Colton wants.

Dragging in a breath, Graham exhales. His voice shakes. “I can’t share you. If that’s the test, then I fail. You found the one thing I can’t do. Congratulations.”

“You do have a safeword.”

The look he gives Colton is murderous.

“Saying it doesn’t make you weak, Graham. Now, come over here. Do what I asked you to. There’s a time and a place to be a brat. This isn’t it. Finish washing me so we can get out of here. You have an amazing water heater by the way.”

And then Colton gathers the nerve to turn around. To give Graham his back like he knows for a fact Graham won’t leave.

“Fuck you,” Graham says. “You said it was hard to let me go. You really think you’d put up with me seeing someone else at the same time as you?”

“No. Not at all. And if we wanted to pursue a relationship, I wouldn’t see anyone else either. It’d be you and me. That’s it. And the truth is, I already want that.”

“Then why didn’t yousay that?” Graham says so loudly it echoes in the confined space.

Colton looks at Graham over his shoulder. “I was thinking about it. But then you decided to storm out. But look. You stayed and now things are alright. Aren’t they?” he says, like an asshole would. “Now, wash my back, baby. Then you’re going to make me come again. Lucky boy.”

“Stop… stop touching yourself. Just… be serious.”

“I don’t joke about orgasms, sweetheart. God, you make me hard. Come on now.”

Graham isn’t moving. His voice is pained, almost lost. “Why does this make me want you more? I’m pissed and Idon’twant you to have lots of people on the side. If we’re going to do this, then I want it to be me and only me.”

“Well, I didn’t saylots. That makes it sound sordid. And, yes, I’m willing to give up other people for you.”

That doesn’t seem to make Graham any happier. “You’d give upmultiplelovers for me? I’m a terrible sub! I can’t—I don’t believe you,” he says, voice rising. He sounds panicked. This has gone on long enough and he isn’t quite sure he can get Graham in a good place with more discussion. Designation is about action.

“Sweetheart, this conversation is over now.” Colton turns around, takes Graham’s hand, and brings it to his cock. “I want to come. That’s your job. Do it.”

Graham doesn’t take his hand away. Colton is warm and half-hard, and the idea of making the Dominant come, of following Colton’s directions, makes him feel fuzzy and has his own cock twitching. His fears and worries, even his anger is slipping away from him, replaced by lust and desire for Colton. Will he be Graham’s Dominant? For how long? What if Graham isn’t good enough?

“I’ll take care of you. You’ll take care of me. You have to be vulnerable and trust me even if it isn’t what you want to do sometimes. You just agreed, didn’t you? Give in to me now,” he says with so much confidence that Graham is eager to obey.

Colton adjusts Graham’s grip so his hand is wrapped around Colton’s length. He moans, kisses Graham’s cheek and along his jaw. He kisses Graham on the mouth, his cock fully hard, and it’s big. It will hurt. When does he get to have it?
