I had no idea which screech to respond to first.
Taking a deep breath, I looked down at the phone. “He had to work a lot last weekend. That’s not something either of us could control…and um, I’ve been getting ready, but Conner, looking good and being confident about his reactions are not connected at all.”
Were they supposed to be?
I turned and looked in the mirror, taking in the black pants Conner said would be fabulous and the slightly flowy shirt that would theoretically let Master Jared grope me without anyone noticing.
Not that I thought he would grab me in public…but the fantasy was fun and somehow Conner made it sound perfectly reasonable to plan on being felt up in a restaurant.
Doms didn’t just grab their sub's ass or dick like that in public…did they?
Conner’s dramatic huff had me smiling and wondering what his dating life had been like before he’d met Ben. Since it’d obviously been nothing like mine, I decided to tell him what he wanted to hear.
“He would like me even if I looked dumpy. You said so yourself.” Quoting back his own advice to him had the insane sub making a happy sound. “You also said he thanked you for introducing us and that he’d enjoyed our night together at the club.”
Hmm, I was starting to think I’d been set up just to get to this point.
He was so manipulative.
“And I also said how sexy you looked when you were kneeling for him and how sweet it was that he had you hump his leg in the club.” Conner’s voice probably shouldn’t have sounded so lovey and wistful as he said it, but since I happened to agree with him, I didn’t point that out. “He looked like he could’ve bent you over right there in front of everyone and did wicked things to claim you.”
His sigh made me blush as I turned back to the phone. “I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to say it like he was the prince in a Disney movie.”
The scoff that came through the phone made me giggle.
“Bullshit. It’s fabulously romantic and much better than a Disney movie because it’s real.” Conner’s point wasn’t lost on me, but he didn’t give me time to admit that. “Jared thought you were cute and sexy and he’s ready and willing to do more dirty things to you. That’s the hard part here, cutie. The rest is downhill and smooth sailing.”
Conner’s tone had me imagining him making grand gestures with his hands as he watched us sail into the sunset…or crash like an out-of-control snowball.
But before that image could get out of hand, he distracted me again with more instructions. “Just find things to talk about and show him you like him outside of the club too. He’s a confident Dom but there’s no way he’s had a lot of relationships yet, so he’s going to be nervous. Don’t be coy. Let him know that you still like him outside of a scene. Don’t make him guess that or it will fuck up the confidence that you like so much.”
It was probably good we were having this conversation over the phone where it was harder for him to distract me.
“I won’t—”
Cutting me off, he jumped back in again, obviously not believing me for a second. “If you’re a good boy tonight and make sure Master Jared knows you like him, I’ll give you a hint about a conversation he had with Ben.”
Oh.
I.
Really?
His giggle said he knew he’d fried my brain. “Be a good boy for your Master and don’t pretend he isn’t your Master. Oh, and have lots of naughty fun on your date.”
The brat hung up before I could figure out if he was serious or fucking with me or both.
Had Master already asked about the dancing thing?
Was Conner just guessing?
Had he overheard us?
Well, someone could’ve easily overheard us and told him. It’d been over a week since he’d first introduced me to Master Jared, and Conner could probably take over the world in less time, so anything was possible.
I debated the options as I grabbed the duffle bag with an extra pair of clothes I wasn’t going to think too hard about and made the short drive to the restaurant. He’d given me several options and had been excited when I’d picked the one that was only a few miles from my apartment. It’d turned out that it was about halfway between both of us. He was so close we probably went to the same grocery store.
It was amazing and disconcerting that he could’ve been right in front of me and I’d have never found him.
If I’d found him now.
If there was any finding to do, Conner had found him for me.
It might not work out.
Before I could continue down that path and give myself an ulcer, I forced myself out of the car and looked around. I might be kinky but I was not a wuss. If Master Jared had changed his mind, I would confront it head-on.
