CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
KADE
Jai seemed rather startled by my suggestion. His gaze wandered over to the front door. Then in the direction of the bedrooms. Then his gaze finally swung back to me. “How long is our master likely to be gone?”
“Another hour, at a minimum. And likely a bit longer than that. It takes half an hour to get to the base, half an hour home again, and at least an hour to sort out the problem he’s dealing with.
But even if he came home right in the middle of anything, he wouldn’t be upset about it.
When we were considering buying you, he told me we would have permission to have sex with each other, on condition that it was entirely voluntary on both sides.
If you don’t want to, I certainly won’t pressure you into anything.
But at the same time, I think it would be a good opportunity to see how you’re feeling about it all.
” As altruistic as I was attempting to sound, I knew I had some ulterior motives, as well.
I’d been so excited about having a friend, and then so disappointed about not having one, when Jai had been so aloof.
I certainly didn’t want to do anything to harm him by pushing too hard, but I was also craving the chance to break down a few of the walls between us.
Even if Jai asked me to stop part way through, hopefully that would still take the first step in showing him that he could trust me.
Jai nodded. “Our master gave me permission to masturbate,” he muttered, his scales shimmering over his collarbones.
I nodded, aware of how odd the allowance was for a dimari.
“He said the same thing to me, when I first arrived here. It’s unusual, but there’s nothing malicious about it.
Most dimari would assume an instruction of that sort was because their master found them undesirable.
In your case… well, I suppose that might actually be a good thing,” I admitted wryly.
Jai nodded, chewing on his lip. Then he glanced towards the bedroom again. But not towards the front door, this time. He licked his lips and shifted in his seat. “Okay,” he said finally. “Let’s… try something fairly simple.”
I nodded, already feeling my cock begin to swell.
As much as I loved my master, the opportunity to do this with another dimari would be entirely different.
Neither of us would have to follow the other’s orders, no matter how altruistic my master’s orders usually were.
“Come into the bedroom?” I asked, making sure it was a question, rather than an order.
Aiden had said nothing before he’d left about Jai following my instructions, but even if I didn’t have the power to give him orders, Jai might baulk if he thought I was trying to.
But Jai stood up, heading tentatively towards the bedrooms, and I followed, making sure to give him plenty of space.
He hesitated outside the spare bedroom – the first one along the hall – and I nodded.
“I think it might be inappropriate to try this in our master’s bedroom.
Not yet, at least,” I added. Once we got things settled down a bit more, he might be entirely delighted to come home and find us pleasuring each other in his bed. But not yet.
Jai nodded and stepped into the room. He stripped off his t-shirt and tossed it aside, then reached for his belt… before hesitating once again. He gave a pointed glance down at my body.
“I’m game if you are,” I said, with a teasing grin.
I removed my t-shirt, moving carefully so as not to aggravate my injuries.
Jai didn’t move, but his gaze did slide down to land on my groin.
I slid my zipper down slowly, then parted the fabric, revealing a pair of plain black briefs.
My burgeoning erection was already pressing a ridge out the front, and I rubbed it, biting my lip and making the slightest of moans.
All dimari were trained in basic seduction techniques, but I honestly wasn’t sure how Jai was going to respond.
Would he see my behaviour as demanding? Or threatening?
I was hoping he would just take it as the invitation it was designed to be.
Before I could start doubting myself too much, Jai’s hands moved, slowly unbuckling his belt, and then undoing the row of buttons down the front of his pants.
He was wearing navy blue boxer shorts… but I was dismayed to see that he didn’t have even the beginnings of an erection.
Okay, so scrap the seduction routine, I scolded myself.
He needed reassurance, not more pressure.
Quickly, I slid my pants and underwear off, leaving them puddled on the floor.
Then I smiled in what I hoped was a reassuring way.
“How about I show you what Aiden likes, first of all,” I suggested.
“Then, if you want to, you can have a go afterwards.” Jai shrugged and finished taking off his clothes, his movements a little stiff.
“Sit down on the edge of the bed,” I said, still giving him plenty of room. “Make yourself comfortable.”
He sat down, fidgeting a little on the duvet, then he resolutely planted both feet on the floor and spread his knees.
His cock was still dangling soft and flaccid, which I found interesting, on an intellectual level.
Erotic companions were trained to be able to harden on command.
So if he wanted to be hard, he would have been.
I glanced pointedly at his cock, then back up to his face.
“Do you not want to be doing this?” I asked, making an effort to avoid sounding the slightest bit judgemental.
He shook his head, but then said, “I want to. But I also want to… I haven’t been allowed to naturally get an erection for months.
It’s always on command. I harden on command, I come on command, I soften on command if they decide to stop in the middle of a session.
I want to just let my body do what it wants to do. ”
The pressure his training must have put on him hit me all over again. It would have been intense for someone who had the natural inclinations to be an erotic companion. For someone who didn’t, it would have been a nightmare.
I sank carefully to the floor, making sure not to jar my injured leg, then put a gentle hand on his knee. “You don’t have to do anything here,” I agreed with him. “And you’re most welcome to tell me you don’t like any of this, if you want me to stop.”
He nodded… and I caught a slight twitch of his cock out of the corner of my eye.
I decided to start slowly. I ran my hands up the inside of his thighs, stopping short of touching his groin. Then I stroked back down again, to his knees, then up the outside of his thighs, to his hips. Then I leaned in and kissed his knee. “Do you like being touched?” I asked him.
He shrugged. “I don’t know. No one ever did much of that.”
I rubbed my hands more firmly up and down his thighs, then stroked the inside of his thigh with the backs of my fingers. “Do you like it now?” I asked, unable to help the mischievous smile on my face.
He twitched, his leg jerking sideways a fraction, and his cock hardened a little more. “I… I think so…”
“Maybe one night,” I suggested, “we can ask Aiden if you and I can share a bed together, just the two of us. Then we can find out if you like cuddling.”
“He wouldn’t let us,” Jai said immediately. “He would want one of us with him.”
I flicked my finger at his thigh, administering a very mild reprimand for the words. “You might be surprised what sort of things he’d agree to. Don’t dismiss it until we’ve asked.”
I stroked a line up his thigh again, this time going all the way to his groin. I ran my finger up the underside of his cock, from the base all the way to the tip. “How does that feel?”
“Not bad.”
“What about this?” I slid my hand lower to cup his balls. He flinched, and I moved my hand back up in a hurry. “Sorry,” I said. “If you’d rather I didn’t do that, it’s fine.”
Jai sighed and stared at the ceiling for a moment. “They used to… They made me put my balls in things. Hot water. Ice. Sometimes they…” He didn’t finish the sentence.
“What for?” I asked, then quickly shook my head.
“No, never mind. I probably don’t want to know.
” I’d never had to do that as a part of my own training, and I couldn’t quite fathom what purpose it would have.
“Can I put my mouth on your cock?” I asked instead.
“I won’t use my teeth at all. Just lips and tongue. ”
He nodded, so I leaned forward and took the head of his cock in my mouth.
He was still mostly soft, so I went slowly, just lapping at the end, sucking him lightly.
Over the course of several minutes, I could feel him growing harder.
Not just harder, but larger. It wasn’t long before I could no longer fit all of him in my mouth, and soon after that, I could only get my mouth a little bit past the head.
I pulled back to see just how large he was…
and made a faint noise of surprise. I looked up at him, a smirk on my lips.
“That’s impressive,” I said. But my good humour faded in an instant as he rolled his eyes and his mouth tightened.
“Yeah, whatever.”
Apparently I’d hit another nerve. I took another look at him, more objectively this time, and it was immediately obvious why he’d been pushed to become an erotic companion.
Combine the size of his cock with the hard muscles that came with being a combat specialist, and I could easily imagine some ignorant and selfish would-be master looking him over and deciding that he wanted him as a sexual plaything, rather than just as a soldier.
To a certain extent, my own intended master had been the same.
She hadn’t had me trained in any particular sexual skills, but I’d learned through a farcical court case with the Eumadians that she’d been as obsessed with my physical appearance as with my combat skills.
