They were both so weird.
Just imagining how that conversation had probably gone made me giggle. Bishop’s laughter said he didn’t mind, though. “I know. It’s ridiculous, but he pointed it out and wasn’t weird. I made sure he wasn’t upset about it and he’s fine.”
And he thought I was cute?
Ignoring that part, I nodded against Bishop and tried to talk again as my fingers stroked over the soft fur of my bunny. “So you’d be seeing me and exploring more of your Daddy side and then…and then being Cohen’s sub? His pup?”
“That’s what I’m picturing, but how does it make you feel? I’m not sure I can guess from your tone. It’s a bit matter-of-fact.” Something sweet and confused in the sound of his voice made me giggle and I found myself squeezing Bunny tight.
“Would you prefer if I was more dramatic?” I wasn’t sure that would help.
He made a humph sound and nodded. “Yes, but less than Eli, please.”
Laughing, I nodded. “Deal.”
He was lucky I was the reserved kind of little and not a brat.
“I’ve casually dated vanilla guys before where we were seeing other people and it wasn’t serious. But I’ve never done anything like this when it’s…I don’t know how to describe it, but this isn’t the same.” Some of the reasons why were obvious, but I wasn’t sure if that was all.
“Because it’s not vanilla?” It was easy to nod as his question came out, and that pushed him to keep going. “Sharing that side isn’t easy and you’re not letting casual vanilla guys see that aspect of you.”
“But there’s also the way you’re not really casual with Cohen.” Just the way Bishop smiled when he said his name made that clear. “I don’t know if it’s going to be different since you’re not just going out with random guys you met at a club once in a while.”
He chuckled, not sounding offended. “I’d be more worried about catching something in that kind of situation or having the weird guy they pick up turn out to be psycho.”
“Good point.” And scarily close to what had happened in one case. “But there’s a thread of something reasonable in there somewhere.”
At least I thought there was.
“How about we try this?” He kissed my head again, making me smile even though I couldn’t explain why. “We’re going to have our little date tonight and then we’re going to find another time to go out. Once we’ve had…let’s say three dates, we’re going to sit down and talk about how you feel. If you’re jealous and upset at that point or feel left out and just second fiddle, we’ll see if this is really working for you.”
I found myself taking a deep breath and considering his proposal. “What if it doesn’t work out and it’s weird? I don’t want to ruin your chance of settling here or making friends.”
Now it was his turn to take a deep breath. Waiting while he thought about what I’d said should’ve been stressful at the very least, but with Bishop, it was just comfortable silence. Everything he’d done from the first time we’d met made me feel safe and comfortable.
Even when he was telling me about the other guy he was dating.
God. This was so weird.
But then he kissed my head again and I melted.
Maybe I was allergic to him and that was making me weak?
Immune systems were complicated things.
He finally shrugged, making my head bob. “Even if it doesn’t work out, however you’d define what we are, I would still like to be your friend and make sure you’re happy.”
Aww, how could I say no to someone that sweet?
“You’ll tell me if Cohen gets upset with this?” I was going to do it?
Fuck.
I was going to do it, but I held Bunny tighter for courage. “And you won’t be mad if I end up being the jealous type? I don’t know if I am with something like this.”
Going out for drinks with some guy who was having drinks with other people wasn’t the same as him being my Dom and Cohen’s sub.
Was it?
“I promise not to get mad and I will do my best to keep clear lines of communication open so that no one gets upset.” He sounded so sure it would work, I found myself nodding against him.
“What about…” God, was I really going to ask this?
Fuck it.
“What about intimate things?” I took a breath and pulled Bunny against my chest as Bishop went still. “I would like for all three of us to get tested before you and I do anything that could…before we…fuck.”
Oh, shit. Not fuck.
As I tried to decide if dying from embarrassment was a real thing, he did the most amazing thing.
He lightly spanked the side of my bottom.
“No naughty words.”
I might’ve melted…or moaned.
Maybe both?
God.
Someone needed to just kill me and put me out of my misery.
