“You have to stay safe, Pet. You are all I have.” He tightened his grip, willing his lover to take him seriously. “If I have to, I’ll hire a bodyguard to watch you when I’m not around.”
Will’s tender expression twisted Lindi into knots. “I’m not going anywhere without you. I’ll stay safe. I promise.”
“Good.”
The elevator doors opened with a ding. Lindi released his sub’s hair only to grab his wrist and pull Will after him. He quickly unlocked the door, yanked Will through, then slammed the door behind them.
“Go to the playroom and present yourself.”
“Yes, Master.” Will walked in quick graceful steps toward the playroom door.
Lindi smiled as he watched his sub’s progress. After five years together, he could tell from the speed of Will’s gait how eagerly his lover anticipated their playtime. From Will’s rushed exit, Lindi knew his pet looked forward to their moments together as much as he did.
Taking his time, Lindi turned off the hall light, grabbed a bottle of water, then walked slowly to their playroom. Will had explained once that part of the pleasure he found in submission was in trying to guess what Lindi would do. Since then, Lindi always made sure not to rush things, letting the anticipation build before he started a scene.
He entered the playroom to find Will kneeling naked on the floor, head bowed with his arms clasped behind his back. The stillness of Will’s pose conveyed a peace Lindi could almost feel wash over him like a wave of serenity.
Beautiful.
Will’s appeal to Lindi wasn’t in the fine bones of his face or even the well-defined muscles on his lean frame. The true key to Will’s attraction was his personality. Where Lindi had rough, harsh edges to his soul from years of fighting, Will was all sweet smiles and kind tranquility. Lindi would do a lot more than take out a forger to keep his pet safe.
Instead of stripping down, Lindi kneeled in front of Will. Startled, Will’s eyes widened. “Is there a problem, Master?”
“No. No problem.” Lindi scanned the playroom, taking in the St. Andrew’s cross in one corner, the swing in the other and the large cabinet filled with toys in between. “Let’s go to our bedroom, Pet. I’m not in the mood to play tonight. I want to make love to you.”
Will smiled. “You always make love to me.”
“That I do.” Lindi stood, then offered a hand to help Will to his feet. “Let’s go to bed, Pet.”
Lindi usually enjoyed the thrill of a power exchange between them, but tonight, he didn’t want to have sex in the playroom; he wanted slow lovemaking in their bed.
Other than giving him a curious look, Will didn’t object to the change in plans. If his erection was any indication, he was more than happy to go along with whatever Lindi decided.
They entered the bedroom. Lindi pulled back the covers, then motioned for Will to get onto the bed. Lindi stripped off his clothes in slow, seductive motions, giving his pet a show. He rarely put himself on exhibition, usually preferring to watch Will, but sometimes, a little change kept things fresh. The combination of lust and adoration in Will’s eyes boosted Lindi’s ego.
“Like what you see?”
“Always.” Will nodded vigorously.
Lindi crawled up on the bed, sliding against Will’s warm flesh. Will might only have a fraction of Lindi’s body mass, but he emitted enough heat when they snuggled to make Lindi sweat on a cold winter night.
Lindi mapped out Will’s chest in slow, sensual sweeps, dragging the tips of his fingers across Will’s smooth skin. Will arched up beneath Lindi’s touch.
“More,” he pleaded.
“You’ll get what I choose to give you,” Lindi reminded him. They might be in the bedroom instead of the playroom, but Lindi was still in charge. He tugged at the gold collar around Will’s neck, a silent reminder to Will of whom he belonged to.
“Yes, Master.” Will relaxed beneath Lindi’s touch, sinking into his submission.
“That’s right.” Lindi kissed Will. He’d never been much of a kisser before Will, now he couldn’t get enough. Eager and extremely willing, his sub encouraged more touch with tiny movements and soft sounds. Will conveyed desperate need with very few words. Luckily, Lindi spoke Will—fluently.
“Easy, Pet. I’m not ready for you to come yet.” He wrapped his fingers around the base of Will’s cock.
Will whimpered.
“That’s right. Whatever I want. Put your fingers right there.” Lindi guided Will’s hand until Will’s fingers were wrapped tightly around the base of his erection like Lindi had held him a moment ago. “Don’t you dare come, or I won’t let you come again for weeks.”
