Page 96 of Love Lessons: Expanded Edition

Landon: What if he doesn’t want that?

Landon: That came out wrong. I meant, what if he doesn’t think it’s been long enough?

What if Landon was too needy? What if he didn’t understand how to be in relationships? Sometimes Landon was just overjoyed to be around Dustin, but sometimes it felt like the no-kink thing was a punishment for keeping him at a distance before.

Or maybe not a punishment. Dustin would call it a lesson. A consequence.

It just felt like he’d already learned his lesson, and he was ready to have his Dom and Daddy back.

Ash: are you ready for some mind-blowing advice?

Landon: Please!

Ash: talk to him

Landon: Ugh. I know.

Ash: he’s not gonna say no. it’s probably killing him that he can’t Daddy you, too.

Landon: You think so?

Ash: he’s a dom. ur a sub.

Ash: you should get to know him in kinky ways, too.

Ash: honestly, not just for the sex. like, it’s important.

Landon: I know.

Landon: I feel like I need to give this temporarily-vanilla thing a chance, though.

Landon: It’s barely been a month.

Landon: I think it’s actually a Daddy thing. ;)

Landon: And he’s right, kind of. I slept around a lot before him and didn’t take things seriously.

Landon: I want to show him that it’s not just about sex and scenes.

Ash: ok, that makes sense

Ash: it sounds like something you two might need to show each other

Ash: but still talk about

OK, that was good. It wasn’t easy, but Landon was a little proud of himself for all the ways he’d opened up.

Ash was so good at things like this. Maybe he should ask them the other thing that had been worrying him.

Landon: Can I get your advice on something else?

Ash: sure.

Landon: I think he’s holding back because he afraid to hurt me.

Ash: any reason?

Landon: Yeah. He had a scene with someone else that had crappy communication. It ended badly. And I think that day I had subdrop is still worrying him.
