Chapter 21
Anson
Jasper’s grin had given the game away, but Kennedy’s eyes had been flickering in his direction before he’d laughed.
“I did it but…but I’m starting to second-guess the whole I get to decide when to come thing.” Frowning, Kennedy looked adorably conflicted. “I’m not sure me having to make decisions is a reward.”
Conner’s snicker said he agreed or at the very least understood.
“We can come back to that point then.” Giving Kennedy a quick peck, I tried not to laugh. “It’s supposed to be a reward, not something stressful.”
Shrugging, he sighed. “I think I got overly enthusiastic.”
Oh yes.
“Well, you’re excited about orgasming and you liked winning.” I could see how the combination had gone to his head.
“Thank you for understanding.” Kissing my cheek, he fell back on his cute and innocent routine, so I knew something very Kennedy would follow. “And thank you for understanding that it’s your job to explain the social rules about meeting someone who’s heard you orgasm.”
Before I could agree with him, Kennedy turned to Conner. “That’s definitely a Dom thing. I don’t want to upset anyone or make Mr. Jasper think I regret the phone scene we did. I don’t. I just don’t know what to do once I meet him.”
I didn’t seem to be necessary to the conversation because Conner jumped right in. “Well, I’d go over and sit down on his lap and kiss his cheek and thank him for helping me orgasm in a great scene, but every sub has their own limits and some Masters are kind of weird about that stuff.”
When they both turned to me, I realized it was time for me to chime in. “He might not be expecting the lap cuddles and kisses part. I don’t have an issue with it, though. Kennedy is very cute when he’s smiling and wiggling.”
Very cute when he blushed and squirmed too.
“But yes, I agree that it’s my responsibility to handle the social dynamics of the situation.” Kennedy had just been obsessing over other bits of the situation, so he hadn’t been able to focus on the practical parts before. “We’re going to go over and you can sit next to me or on my lap. Then you’re going to tell Jasper that it’s good to meet him in person.”
The instructions and maybe just the normalness of it all had Kennedy’s worries fading and his smile looking more natural. “Then you can decide if you want to ask for a hug or anything like that. I will not be upset by anything that you do because it felt natural in the moment.”
Kennedy’s instincts were kind of stunted due to so many frustrating people in his life, so we were just going to take it one step at a time…and that was the same advice I’d given Jasper, so we were all on the same page.
“Do you remember your verbal safewords and the silent one?” Simply asking the question had Kennedy standing straighter and nodding like a little soldier.
“Yes. I can do it.” Taking a deep breath, Kennedy looked like he was giving himself an internal pep talk. “It’ll be fine.”
Turning to Conner, he smiled wider to make his new friend think he was believable. “He was very nice on the phone.”
Conner was smart enough not to fall for the everything will be okay routine, but he was subtle about it as he nodded. “He’s very nice and he’s big and cuddly too. You’re going to like him in person as much as you liked the phone scene with him. And really, you already know he likes hearing you orgasm, so there isn’t much else to worry about.”
There was no logic in that at all, but Kennedy nodded like it was sage advice. “You’re right…and you’re very smart.”
I couldn’t decide if he just wanted to be nice to Conner, if he didn’t want to offend the crazy man, or if he had a crush on the crazy man, but whichever way it was, it probably didn’t matter. Conner seemed to understand the worst of the stress had passed and tugged at Kennedy’s hand. “Perfect. Let’s go say hi before he starts to worry too.”
“Oh.” And Kennedy’s wonderfully flexible mind had something new to obsess over. “We’ve been standing here too long. He’s already worried.”
Before I could give my opinion or instructions, he turned and waved to Jasper. “Hurry, Master. We have to make him feel better.”
And we were off…this time being dragged by Kennedy instead of Conner.
Conner seemed to be finding this side of Kennedy fascinating and adorable if I was reading his smile right, but he didn’t say anything that would make Kennedy question his newfound confidence. “He sees we’re all happy. It’ll be fine.”
I had a feeling Conner squeezed Kennedy’s hand because my adorable cutie looked over at him and smiled. “Yes, he knows we’re happy to see him.”
There was a hopefully sound to his voice, but Kennedy didn’t say it out loud.
Admitting what the negative voices in his head were saying still wasn’t easy for him.
“He’d better be adjusting his hard-on happy because I’m with the sexiest subs ever.” My indignant tone got a giggle from Kennedy and an imperial nod from Conner.
“Agreed.” Something about Conner’s walk changed and every eye in the room flicked to us like fireworks had just gone off.
Jasper was smart enough to swallow hard as his eyes widened.
Oops.
I’d done something to set off the firecracker.
Kennedy seemed to think it was fascinating. His eyes were glued to Conner and he was so focused on his note-taking that he’d have walked into a wall if it weren’t for us steering him. “That’s amazing.”
I was stuck between laughing and adjusting my dick, so I just tried to play it cool as we approached Jasper. “Good evening.”
I wasn’t going to pretend to be surprised to see him since I’d arranged for him to be there, so I skipped over that part and went right to the introductions. “Kennedy, this is Jasper.”
Kennedy shivered and fought to stand straight as he smiled. “It’s nice to meet you in person, Mr. Jasper.”
Jasper smiled, looking slightly more at ease even though I wasn’t sure Kennedy could tell. “It’s good to meet you in person too. I’m amazed you knew me right off the bat.”
Kennedy beamed, wiggling against me as he seemed to fight the urge to hide his face. “I found you. I knew you’d be nice and have a big smile and I knew you’d be tall.”
That might’ve been an understatement based on how Conner giggled.
“You were right.” Still smiling, Jasper waved his hands around the small sitting area he’d commandeered. “Please, sit.”
Conner took that opportunity to plop himself down on Jasper’s lap, earning an eye roll from him and a giggle from Kennedy. “You’re so cuddly.”
Because he was the size of a barn.
Shaking his head, Jasper just wrapped his arms loosely around the half-naked nut and focused on me. “Have you guys been enjoying yourselves?”
As I nodded and sat down, Kennedy cuddled up beside me and smiled. “Yes.”
He knew the question had been for him and braved an answer. “There are so many different kinds of people and we just saw someone getting spanked with a paddle kind of thing and his Dom or Master or his something even tapped him on his penis. Then he came everywhere. It was amazing.”
All it took was a smile from Jasper to keep him going after barely a breath. “Conner keeps talking about a window room but I haven’t seen it yet, and I’m not sure how to see if you’re going to come do that too or not because they’re only mentioning it to see if I’m okay doing a scene there, but you’re here and it’s nice to see you as a person and not just a voice, but I’m not sure if you want to see me come or what the plan is.”
When the flood was over for the moment, Jasper jumped right in. “They definitely want you to play in the window room but it’s up to you how you feel. Some people jump right in at the club and some just watch for a while. There are no right or wrong answers, but you liked being listened to and you were comfortable with that, so I think it’s a good first step.”
When his grin turned teasing and wicked, Kennedy giggled and snuggled closer but didn’t tell him to stop. “And I’ve heard rumors that you’re curious about a certain ruler idea.”
Sucking in a breath, Kennedy shivered and his legs came up to his chest…probably to hide his erection or maybe to give it some attention. “It was a hot scene and it didn’t look scary. Just taps. They’re fun.”
His definition of taps was very curious, but I liked the way he spelled out that he was still very interested in the scene.
“I heard how much you like taps.” Jasper’s teasing tone got a giggle from both subs. “I had fun listening to you but it could be fun to try with an audience too. What if you were restrained and displayed in the window while Anson used something like a ruler on you?”
Kennedy seemed more focused on the planning and less about worrying as he nodded. “Rulers look like fun and you could be business partners that are disappointed in your naughty secretary. Secretary, not admin. That’s not as sexy.”
“Agreed.” Conner decided that was an important enough topic to jump in on. “Can you imagine having your boss call you his admin while he was threatening to spank you? It’s just obscene.”
I wasn’t sure he knew what that word meant, but I didn’t point it out since Kennedy agreed with him. “It’s ridiculous. I saw it in a porn clip and it was weird. Not sexy at all.”
People did the strangest things in porn.
“I agree. They’d have to call you their secretary or maybe you could be a naughty intern? That would make the power imbalance feel even bigger.” Conner’s sexy grin and dramatic shiver said he approved of anything that made the imbalance feel more lopsided. “You’d be a very cute intern. Especially if they could make you blush.”
And just talking about it made Kennedy giggle and blush as he finally gave in to the push to hide his face against me.
Jasper’s chuckle said he knew it wasn’t a bad reaction. “I’m not sure we’re going to be needed. They’ve got it all planned out.”
Conner scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Someone has to swing the ruler, dear.”
That got another giggle from Kennedy and he pulled back enough to peek over at Conner. “And say dirty things in a rough voice. Master is very good at that but Mr. Jasper has a very deep voice.”
I wasn’t offended because he was right…and he’d complimented me first.
Conner moaned out an agreeing sound and kissed Jasper’s cheek, making him fight off a blush if I wasn’t mistaken. “He could make reading a grocery list sound sexy.”
Kennedy peeked over at me, but when he saw me trying not to laugh, he turned back to Conner and nodded. “Oh yes. He’d be good at reading dirty audiobooks too.”
Jasper had no idea what to say to that and just groaned.
“He even does that well.” Conner clapped his hands and sat up like he’d solved all the world’s problems. “Oh, he could be a wonderful werewolf with that kind of growl.”
Lighting up, Kennedy nodded. “Yes, that would be so good. We’ll have to think of a scene where he needs to growl at me.”
“I’ll help you figure that out.” Rubbing his hands together, Conner looked like he felt up to the challenge. “Rough dirty talk. Growling. Yes, we’ve got a good list started.”
They were going to create absolute havoc.
But at least Kennedy had found new friends?
“Don’t I get a say in this?” Jasper gave them a well-done teasing frown but it didn’t stop Conner.
“No.”
Kennedy was sweeter. “Yes, but you’d be such a good werewolf. Don’t you want to play?”
He’d been hanging out with too many littles online.
Even Conner clapped. “That was amazing.”
“Thank you.” Perking up, Kennedy came completely out from his hiding spot to sit beside me confidently. “I’m getting better.”
“I think we’ve just figured out what our secretary is being punished for.” Manipulating his bosses. “He was trying to play us against each other and we’ve finally caught him?”
Jasper chuckled but Kennedy shivered as he pressed close to me again. “Oh, that would be naughty. You’d have to punish me and tell me how bad I’d been.”
Wrapping my arms around him, I pulled him almost all the way onto my lap. “And when our punishment made our secretary hard, we’d have to call him a wicked slut and punish his erection too.”
Kennedy’s entire body tried to orgasm at once and his eyes almost rolled back in his head as he clenched around the plug. When he finally got control of his desire, he collapsed against me. “I just needed you to really enjoy the plug. I’m glad we tried it again.”
“You did a good job trusting me to help you figure out a better way to enjoy it.” Kennedy was a very curious creature, though, so it hadn’t taken too much to get him to bend over and wiggle. “You listened to what I had to say and you figured out your limits. I’m very proud of you.”
Conner’s sigh made it sound like he thought we were wonderfully romantic.
“I like figuring out my limits.” Wiggling on my lap, Kennedy brought his lips close to my ear and whispered softly. “I think my limits would like Mr. Jasper to come in and see me get punished for being a cheeky secretary.”
“Thank you for letting me know.” Or at least verbalizing what I’d already figured out just based on the conversation. “And I’m going to let you know that I remember our discussion about what that means.”
His sexy shiver and the whimper it got as the plug teased his ass made it clear he remembered that conversation too.
“Mr. Jasper seems nice.” His whispered confession sealed the deal. “Thank you for helping me play, Anson. You take good care of me.”
He was so sweet he made it impossible not to.
“Thank you, baby.” He was adorable and all mine. “I’m going to have so much fun punishing my naughty slut.”
It was Kennedy’s turn to sigh romantically. “Aww, thank you.”
Yep, it was no wonder he and Conner got along so well.
