“That’s a hard no from me, so maybe we should take that from the list.”
“I’m okay with that because I have no idea what it is.”
“What about dominant/submissive? I don’t identify as a domme, but there are definitely things we can play around with.”
“I don’t know… my last experience of someone dominating me makes my balls want to shrivel up inside me and never come out again.”
I ran my fingers over the back of his hand. “Then maybe we should put a pause on that. I’m sure your balls are meant for better things than disappearing up inside you.”
Archer tapped his finger on the table nervously. “What about the ropes?”
“The shibari?”
He nodded, taking a sip of his wine.
“But that’s binding you, restricting you. I thought you didn’t want that?”
He wrapped his hand over the back of his neck, rubbing as he thought for a moment. “I saw how many ways you can use it when you showed me that website. There are ways to bind me without restricting me too much. I mean, don’t get me wrong… I don’t want to be suspended from the ceiling or anything, but, well, there is something about it that really gets to me."
I grinned at his reaction. “Look at you, being all honest. I like it. Kinks should be customizable. You take the bits you like and you leave out the parts you don’t. You don’t have to take everything to its extreme.”
Archer reached across the table, pushing a loose lock of hair behind my ear, before tracing his index finger along my jaw. It was such a tender movement that my skin tingled for more. “What do you want? You must want something from me.”
“How about someone to play with, to explore with, to have some fun with?”
His jaw clenched. “I can’t give you more. Relationships, long term commitment. I just can’t right now.”
I leaned into his touch. “And I don’t want more, Archer. I promise. This isn’t me trying to lure and trap you.”
“And you don’t mind if I can’t come… I mean, my cock hasn’t worked for a very long time.”
“I really don’t mind, but I don’t want you to worry about it, either. I want you to learn to relax around me and explore the things you like. Do you think you can do that?”
Archer swallowed as if he was forcing his nerves and fear back down. “I can try.”
Chapter 7
Archer
Shesatacrossfromme while we discussed kinks like it was as normal as what to add to a shopping list. While she looked like the most innocent girl in the world, her words told me another story. And when she promised to take care of me and called me a good boy, something stirred inside me.
“Okay, so you have a safe word. We have a list of things you’re happy to try and I can use a traffic light system to check you’re enjoying whatever we get up to. Green, we carry on, amber, you’re reaching your limits, red, we stop. I don’t ever want you to feel like you did when you got that scar, Arch.”
My chest lurched at the memory of that day; her words telling me I was weak for not being able to cope with the pain. “But I should be able to put up with stuff. I don’t want you to think I’m a pussy.”
She stood and walked around the table, pushing herself into my lap. Cupping my face, she pressed her lips to my cheek before ghosting the shell of my ear. “No matter what you say no to, no matter how many times you tell me to stop… you are never a pussy, Archer. Do you understand me?”
I furrowed my brows, trying to decide if I could really let go and trust her, but then she wrapped her hand in mine and I had my answer.
“Yes.”
“Good boy. Now go sit on the bed.”
I moved as she turned down the lights so the room glowed in the soft light.
“I’ve given Pete my signed NDA, and he told you my background check came back, okay, right?”
“He did.” Bless Pete, he had got them to rush it through, probably just happy that I’d met a girl rather than be the sad singleton I’d been for the last few years.
