“But, Toby, that…experience…with you was more than I’d bargained for, in a good way. A really good way.”

“Yeah, it was pretty awesome.”

He raised his eyebrows.

“Okay, fine, it was epic. I felt it, too. I didn’t want to admit it, because I was trying my best to stay detached.”

“You were?”

I gave him a frank look. “I don’t hook up with guys very often.”

He looked a bit skeptical.

“I don’t. And I was way more into you than I wanted to be.”

He shrugged. “I thought the best thing to do to get over you was to take someone to the Bordello.”

I bristled. “Uh-huh. Right in front of me. That was super sweet.”

“Well, I wanted you to know what the deal was. At least, I thought I did,” he said. “But when I saw you flashing your nipples at the guy playing cards, I wanted to walk over there and punch him in the fucking face.”

My eyes went wide, and I couldn’t stop an amused smile from landing on my face. “Youwereglaring at us fairly aggressively.”

“That’s never happened, either,” he said, taking a sip of his tea. “I didn’t think I was the possessive type.”

“You’re the possessive type now?”

“Felt like it. With you,” he said. He ran a hand through his hair. “It was…unexpected.”

“Huh.” I gazed at him, contemplatively. “So, you took the fuckboy upstairs to get kinky and you…couldn’t do it?”

He puffed out some air and shook his head, as if he was embarrassed. “I froze. I don’t know. I mean, he—” Alastair raised his eyebrows. “Do you really want to hear this?”

Did I?

“Yeah.” I leaned forward on my elbows.

“Okay. Well, he got naked and, fuck, he had a nice body. And I got him buckled in. And he was there, all trussed up and waiting for me to start, and I kept thinking about you downstairs, in your sexy little bloomers, and remembering the other night…”

“Did you touch him?” I’m not sure why I was torturing myself, but I wanted to know.

“I couldn’t. I picked up a flogger and…he was waiting for me to use it.”

A flogger.Fuck.I didn’t really know what a flogger was, but I knew it was a member of the whip family, and boy, did it sound intense. I was getting hard just thinking about it. I was getting hard imagining Alastair holding something like that.

I remembered the look on Fuckboy’s face when he left. I felt kind of smug about it, to be honest. If that was wrong of me, too bad.

Alastair continued. “But…I knew it wasn’t going to work. And more than that, I didn’t want to continue, so I safeworded.”

“You…used a safeword?”

“Yes. To end the scene.”

“Oh. Is that what happens? Sorry… I don’t know much about this stuff.”

“That’s what’s supposed to happen, yeah. If anyone safewords—the sub or the Dom—the scene ends immediately.”

“Oh. I see.”
