That sounded hopeful.
I didn’t want to be hovered over all the time and actually managed, but what would he think about calling me names sweetly and spanking me on a regular basis? Did he have a problem with taking charge sometimes just to help me relax?
“What’s his worst trait?” We were going to go right for the main problem…whatever was keeping him from already being taken.
Conner barked out a laugh. “He’s a nice guy overall and nothing troubling in his background check or I wouldn’t have suggested him. He’s just too young for a lot of the subs and the weird rumors haven’t helped. I think some of the subs who’d fit in great with him are too worried to let him know they’re interested. No one wants an awkward rejection.”
Good point.
“I don’t think I mind younger.” I’d already told him what I thought about that, so I didn’t harp. “I’m more worried about making sure we’re compatible in other ways.”
Like if he’d call me his dirty slut and if he’d humiliate me right as we watched other people at the club.
Conner’s grin was wicked as he rose gracefully. “Then let’s go find out. Worst-case scenario, I’ll make you watch Ben spank me and he’ll tell you what a naughty boy you are for peeping at us.”
Aww…I might not have a Dom but I did have a very good friend. “Thank you, Conner.”
So maybe the night wouldn’t end up being a complete disaster?
Chapter 2
Jared
“Master Jared, I have someone I want you to meet.” Conner’s voice always sounded like he was one step away from earning a spanking, even when he was whispering. “I would like to introduce you to a very naughty sub named Finley.”
Turning away from the scene on the other side of the one-way glass, I stepped back from the small crowd and moved toward the back of the hallway. Conner was crazy and always half-naked, but I didn’t want to be rude.
Taking a cue from him, I treated him like a sub at the club and not the business owner he actually was. “Thank you, Conner.”
I wasn’t sure what else to say because as I turned, the sub in question aimed wide eyes at me and sucked in his lower lip to nibble on it like a sweet little pet looking to be cuddled and reassured.
I couldn’t decide if he was as innocent as he looked or even how old he was, but he definitely didn’t scream naughty sub like Conner was insisting. In fact, he looked like he should be knocking on my door and offering to save my soul or sell me cookies.
But he was in Bound & Controlled, so I inclined my head and did my best to not let any of those thoughts show on my face. I didn’t like it when people made assumptions about me, so I shouldn’t do it to him. “It’s nice to meet you, Finley.”
“Hello, Master Jared.” He gave me a sweet smile that perfectly matched the wide eyes, then immediately turned and aimed them at Conner.
The dramatic sub sighed. “For fuck’s sake, Finley.”
Laughing would not have been the most Dom thing I could do in the situation, so I settled on raising one eyebrow and giving Conner a want to explain this expression.
It earned another sigh, but he didn’t hold back as he wiggled on the dangerously high shoes. “He’s not as innocent as he looks. He’s not a little or a pup. He likes exhibitionism and voyeurism and he likes his humiliation on the sweeter side.”
Narrowing a glare at the sub who was obviously more interesting than he seemed, Conner huffed. “He’s struggling to find a Dom who will take that list seriously and it’s been ages since anyone fucked with him or fucked him. So don’t take it too slow but don’t jump right into the deep end.”
“Conner.” Finley seemed to want to melt into the walls, and since he was dressed in all black, he would probably blend right into the dark room. Not that there was anything wrong with a tight black T-shirt and equally dark, painted-on jeans, but it didn’t exactly say sub on the prowl and I wasn’t sure if he realized that or not.
Rolling his eyes, Conner didn’t look ashamed of his behavior or sorry for embarrassing the other sub. “If I left it up to you, you’d smile at Master Jared and let him think you were too innocent for debauchery and then he’d wander off confused.”
Finley didn’t immediately disregard the idea, so when he shrugged, I had a feeling Finley had done something similar before. “Fine.”
He might not have been willing to argue with Conner but that didn’t mean he knew what to say. Finley shifted and couldn’t seem to decide where to aim his gaze. It started out on the floor as Conner shook his head, but I could see him peeking around me at the scene I’d been watching.
