“There are still things I would find unpleasant, but perhaps…” I glanced at Kade, hoping that he’d back me up on the idea I had, and also protect me from my own rash decisions. “Perhaps we could start slowly and try a few things, and see how they turn out?”
“One of the things Aiden has made very clear to me,” Kade jumped in, before my master could reply, “is that he has nodesire to ever press for sexual services if I’m not feeling well – either with illness, or with injuries. Muscle strains, or headaches and the like. Perhaps that’s something it would be worth reviewing with Jai?” he said, raising a rather imperious eyebrow in my master’s direction.
“Absolutely, yes,” my master agreed. “Jai, if I ever ask you for anything sexual and you’re not feeling well, I’d like you to tell me immediately. Or, if I ever do anything that causes you any pain, I’d also like you to tell me straight away. Myintentionis never to hurt you, but accidental mistakes can happen.”
I frowned at them both, not sure I was understanding the message they were trying to convey.
“So,” Kade reiterated, “if you ever experience any type of muscle strain during sex, you can alert our master to the issue, and he’ll stop immediately.”
My master nodded, confirming Kade’s claim. I sat still, pondering the meaning of his words for a moment. I’d suffered moderate, or even severe injuries during my training, and that hadn’t stopped me performing my duties. It was nice to know that my master didn’t want to harm me, but a simple muscle strain was hardly cause to create such a fuss. So why was there such an emphasis on this? And how did it help, anyway? If my master ordered me to do something sexual, I was still going to be compelled to obey…
Oh.Oh!I sat up abruptly, my gaze snapping across to Kade’s face as I realised what he – what they both – were saying. “So… if I happen to have a muscle cramp in the middle of sex,” I said carefully, “than you would simply stop? Immediately?”
“Immediately,” my master said.
Seeing that I now understood the situation, Kade grinned. Talk about a loophole made in heaven! If I disliked anything my master did to me sexually, all I had to do was invent some minor complaint about a strained muscle, and the session would end.I had a multitude of questions about this, but asking Kade to explain all the nuances of the provision was going to have to wait until our master wasn’t here. For all that he was the one setting the rules, there were some things one simply did not discuss in front of their master.
“That sounds like a delightful arrangement,” I said, stunned and baffled all over again. How in all the heavens had I managed to end up in such a wonderful place? “Right at the moment, however, I’m not feeling any ill effects at all. So perhaps it would be worth taking advantage of the opportunity to explore my excellent physical health.” By the stars, had I actually just said that? I must have lost my mind.
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
AIDEN
My jaw dropped as I stared at Jai. Holy fuck, had he actually just offered to go and jump into bed to start exploring the new options in our relationship? I got the impression that he was rapidly reconsidering his words, and I didn’t want to push him too hard right at the start. I was aiming for something very gentle and simple while we all fumbled our way through the initial stages of this, so I turned to Kade with a silent request for advice.
“I think that’s an excellent idea,” Kade said, standing up smoothly. “Was there anything in particular you’d like to start with?”
The question was aimed at Jai, and he stood up as well, moving tentatively towards the bedrooms. Despite my misgivings, I decided to follow their lead. They’d already begun experimenting with each other, after all, and Kade tended to have good instincts about this sort of thing.
“Well, I… What I was actually wondering,” Jai said, glancing back at me, “was whether there was something humans like to do that I haven’t tried yet. Or maybe something that you dodifferently from the way I was taught it. Blow jobs, for example,” he went on eagerly, turning around to walk backwards down the hall, as Kade and I followed him. He moved with ease, even without looking where he was going. “I was taught to do them a particular way, but Kade showed me a much better way – just using the mouth and tongue, not the throat. So is there something else like that?” He looked at Kade, hoping he could provide some guidance.
“Perhaps to begin with, blow jobs would be a good place to start,” Kade said. “You’ve had one from me, but you haven’t had one from your master yet.”
Jai stopped in his tracks, looking poleaxed. I was all ready to jump in and announce that we didn’t have to, if he didn’t like that idea, but Kade beat me to it. Though he said something very different from what I’d been about to say. “I told you before, masters do that sort of thing in the Alliance. Though I’m sure Aiden will let you have a turn as well.”
“Oh. Uh…” Jai took another few steps, then he stopped, glancing between the doorways to my room and the spare bedroom.
“My room,” I said. “The bed’s bigger. But while we’re on that topic, though, are you okay with the three of us all together? We can try something else if that’s too much.”
Jai’s gaze immediately locked onto Kade. “Three is good,” he said, just a little too emphatically.
“I think he wants you to protect him from me,” I said to Kade, in a stage whisper. It was a perfectly reasonable precaution, from Jai’s perspective; Kade knew far more about how I would react to any given situation than he did, and was in a better position to get me to back off, if I misinterpreted any of Jai’s reactions.
But Kade smirked at me. “I think he wants to know what it’s like to have two mouths on his cock at the same time,” he said,once more pushing forward when I was trying to pull back. But to my surprise, Jai perked up at his words.
“Is that actually…? I mean, would that be…?”
“We can certainly try it, if you’d like to,” I promised him. Then I glanced pointedly down at his pants, where a tent was starting to form in the front of them. “If you like, you could take your pants off, and we can see if it works?” I deliberately phrased it as a suggestion, not an order. Asking a dimari to make choices or state preferences could be confusing for them, but Jai, true to form, seemed to be an exception to that rule.
“Yes, sir,” he said hastily, then dashed into my bedroom and stripped off his pants. He sat down on the end of the bed, his knees parted. Still standing in the doorway, I fought not to chuckle.
“After you,” I said to Kade, gesturing him into the room. He went ahead of me, then, without any prompting at all, stripped his clothes off in fast, efficient movements. Rather than folding them, he tossed them into a corner, then knelt on the carpet in front of Jai. I followed, peeling off my t-shirt and then sliding my pants down my legs. While I was doing that, Kade tugged at the hem of Jai’s t-shirt, encouraging him to take it off as well.
Then the three of us were naked, and I joined Kade on the carpet. I glanced up at Jai, thinking that I should say something, check in with him again to make sure he was okay with this. But Kade completely skipped that step, leaning in to lick a line up the side of Jai’s cock. It registered as he did so that Jai was fully erect, and given that I hadn’t given him any orders about it, I could only assume that his arousal was genuine.
Jai gave a startled grunt at the sensation and parted his legs a fraction wider. Fair enough. I was convinced he was participating willingly.
I shuffled closer, my knee bumping up again Kade’s, then I leaned in as well, licking a stripe up the other side of Jai’s cock.Given the level of power I held over him, I glanced up at him again, ready to stop if he had the slightest objection. But he had a look of sultry pleasure on his face, so I leaned back down and continued.
