They talked to him mostly about the role of Dominant, how Shep considered the way he needed control both a strength and flaw of his personality. He said it kept him alive in the woods, but it was more than that.
“He said he’s an isolated asshole,” Olin told her.
“He does have a way about him,” Meegan laughed. “I wouldn’t want to get on his bad side.”
“Shep said he considered Claudia a true blessing, even if they’d gone through literal hell to find each other. I’m a little scared to read whatever link he’s gonna send me.”
“It’s heavy, I won’t lie. He saved her life. Literally.”
Olin cringed, but went on. Daniel had talked about how being a switch worked for him, because being just a Dominant wasn’t enough. He loved being on top, but being a Dom came with responsibilities and sometimes limitations, and he needed to let go from time to time. He needed to be of service. Keira was a switch as well, but Daniel was the only Dominant she let top her. All of that made sense to Olin.
“I don’t think I can be a full submissive,” he told Meegan. “But I can see the appeal of serving you.”
A sharp bite of arousal hit Meegan right between the legs. “Yeah.” She cleared her throat. “We can talk more about that.”
They went over all the points where his checklist intersected with Meegan’s, which she knew they would. Sometime in the next few days, Daniel would send a list of scene ideas just to get things started or to give him ideas of his own. Meegan couldn’t lie. She was looking forward to that. Shep and Daniel drove home the importance of aftercare, like, hammered it into his head. Daniel joked that he should get the word tattooed on his wrist if he was worried about forgetting. They talked about planning scenes, even with an element of surprise.
Shep had told him, “You want to do anal, tell her in advance to prepare her ass. Find out if she’s on her period and what you’re both comfortable with there. You as the Dominant need to be prepared to the teeth, you need to do everything you can to set her up for success and you also need to be comfortable adapting on the fly. You’re dealing with another human being. She’s gonna be cranky sometimes, or dealing with some shit she hasn’t talked to you about yet. It might come up in the scene or in the aftercare. You gotta adjust.” Olin asked them for advice on how to manage Meegan’s desire for multiple partners. He reiterated that he was okay with Meegan taking as much as she could handle, but he had no interest in fucking or being fucked by anyone else.
“Nothing wrong with that,” Daniel had said. “I’ll fuck and get fucked by whoever. Keira is more selective. Shep here is a pure top. No one’s fucking him. You have your own rules for yourself and you let your scene partners know that.” Olin figured as much.He still had so much ground to cover, but that was one thing he wanted to be sure of. And then Olin said Daniel gave him a nugget of wisdom that blew Olin’s mind.
“He said I might be new to all of this, but I’m also new toyou. Even if I was an experienced Dom, we’d have to learn to work together. It would still be something fresh.”
Meegan blinked in shock, taking in this new perspective that was suddenly available to her. “Jesus, Danielisa wizard. And color me humbled. I really was thinking this whole time that I need to get you to my level, but Daniel is right. I need to learn you too.” Meegan sat back and thought about that a little more. She knew she needed help, but this was truly a new way of thinking. “I think we owe Daniel a bottle of champagne.”
“Agreed. The last thing we talked about was not rushing. There’s no race to the finish here. The point is to learn as you go. Aswego. Every time, we’ll be learning something about the act or ourselves or each other. For me to be the best Dom I can be, I have to take my time. But don’t worry. You’re gonna come a lot along the way.”
“Oh! Well then.” Meegan reached over and took Olin’s hand. “Do you feel better now?”
“Yeah. Sorry. I was overloaded with information.” He squeezed her hand and Meegan’s heart fluttered a little bit. “I know you have to be up early. Come on.”
Meegan was a little bummed he was doing the responsible thing and letting her get some sleep. She stepped out of the car. Olin took her hand and led her around to the rear, stopping as he popped open the trunk. There was a massive white teddy bear tucked on its side in the tight space. It was wearing a big pink bow and a pink strap-on harness. There was no dildo, but Meegan had plenty of those.
“When did you get this?” she said, choke-laughing a little. It was a huge bear.
“I picked it up earlier, when I grabbed this.” He reached down and Meegan noticed there was a gift bag wedged between the bear and the wheel well. He pulled out a Tiffany box and opened it. It was one of those Tiffany key pendant necklaces, rose gold encrusted in diamonds, from the top to the tip of the blade. The bow of the key was round, a circle with a series of long spokes or flower petals around the center, or even curved sun rays, depending on how you looked at it.
“Olin! Jesus Christ,” she gasped.
“It can just be a necklace or?—”
She looked up at him, eyes wide, her breath leaving her lungs completely. “You want to collar me.”
Olin nodded. “Yes. I read about collaring ceremonies and since I’m not really a crowds guy, I wanted to ask you, just you and I. But like I said, it can just be a necklace. I just want you to know where I’m at. And if it’s too much, we take a step back. Or we take two steps back and we just do our planned six months. We can even call it. It’s whatever you want. I want you. The woman who sold it to me said it’s meant to symbolize a bright future.”
Meegan couldn’t breathe. The “yes” was right on the tip of her tongue. But what if this went badly? What if he broke her heart? What if he was some kind of sociopath and he’d just been pretending to be a sweet, caring, giving guy this whole time? What if…
She looked at the diamonds, sparkling under her neighbor’s security lights. She thought about her collaring ceremony with Mistress Evelyn, there on the stage in front of all the full time members of The Club. How she’d accepted Evelyn’s token of ownership, how she’d been flogged and fucked until she couldn’t keep her eyes open, and how she’d woken up the next morning alone. She’d been taken care of, but she was still alone while Evelyn and Philip were home together in their bed.
She thought of how much she felt for Olin and how she would be in physical pain from missing him when he finally went home tonight. How she had hoped that he would at least try to make this work, but had feared that never in a million years would he ask her to be his and he would be hers.
Tears welled in Meegan’s eyes and she couldn’t find her voice, so she just launched herself forward and hugged him. He hugged her back, squeezing her tight, one of those perfect hugs that rearranged your bones and gave your heart a reason to keep on beating.
“I want to belong to you,” she whispered.
“I want to belong to you,” he replied. “Is that a yes?”
“Yes.” She pulled back just a little, dabbing her tears away. “And I want to be your girlfriend. All of it.”
