About anything like that.
It must not have been the right place to start, though, because Jerker made soothing sounds and snuggled me close again. He was so worried about me, he started playing with my dick too. “This is not to be a stressful conversation, my Theo. Your ability to give yourself to your mate is not in question.”
It shouldn’t be so easy to distract me but he could give the best hand job ever.
The little nubby things were amazing.
“I…” Shoot. Closing my eyes, I relaxed into him and tried to show him I wasn’t worrying. “I’m not going to be stressed, Master.”
I’d just been a bit nervous.
“Good boy, my Theo.” His tone was happy but still focused on being very soothing. “You have lowered your stress very quickly for your Master.”
Okay, no worrying Master by being worried.
I could do this.
“On my list…On my list, I indicated that under the right conditions, I didn’t mind being displayed.” Yes, that was what he’d called it. “But it’s not something I need. Like cuddling with you and spankings and that kind of stuff…that’s the stuff I need with you, Master.”
Everything else was either cute like being carried or just something that might be fun if we explored it.
Like lightning.
I knew I was being a baby about that but it was fucking electricity.
Damn puns.
“I understand your lower limits on necessary things, my Theo.” He paused and his silence was loud enough for me to open my eyes and see him pouting. “That did not work.”
Aww.
“It did.” Rubbing my cheek against his torso since that was really all I could move at the moment, I made sure I sounded and felt confident. “I knew what you meant. It was just a hard sentence.”
He huffed, but nodded after a few seconds. “Thank you, my Theo.”
He was the sweetest guy ever.
“You’re welcome, Master.” Resting my head against him again, I let out a breath and stopped ignoring what his tentacle was doing to my dick. His level of multitasking was amazing, but I’d never be able to do it. “Okay, I’m going to try to stop overthinking your question.”
“That would be appreciated, my Theo.” He might’ve been teasing but it was hard to tell with his frustration still being so high.
“There are places like BDSM clubs and private parties with people I’d feel safe around where I’d submit to you and we could have a scene. It might be simple like me just naked and kneeling while you ate dinner or talked. It doesn’t have to be like something out of a movie or a book.” His education wasn’t just based around porn, but I wasn’t sure what he was thinking.
So that meant we had to communicate.
Yes, that was one of his favorite words for a reason.
“Under the right circumstances, I’m not shy about my body, but it has to be in the right place.” Did that make sense? “So not where the regular public is and not where we’ll get in trouble or embarrassed.”
I really wasn’t sure my explanation was coming out right, but he was so quiet I couldn’t begin to guess what was going through his head.
“But like I said before, that’s not something I need.” Managing to say it and not worry him that time, I went back to rubbing my cheek against his body and soaking up the wonderful feelings he was giving me. “This is what I need, but if you wanted to explore something specific, we could talk about it.”
His thoughtful sounds eased back in slowly as his limbs started rippling around me. It felt like he was working his way up to something but he’d gone out of his way earlier to make sure I knew he trusted me.
“My people are…possessive and strongly caretaking. We…we do not see relationships in the way humans do, but we are adapting.” His careful tone said we hadn’t gotten to the point yet, but he didn’t want to spook me.
A tiny voice in the back of my head asked if we could start worrying again, but I had to remind him that Jerker was nice and we needed to give him time to explain what was going on.
Then we could worry.
“I think you’re adapting amazingly.” I wasn’t just being nice but it was also a good reminder that he wasn’t human. The tentacle around my dick should’ve been another reminder, but for some reason, my brain didn’t always tune into that one. “And I hope we can always communicate and compromise so that you get what you need too.”
Yep, compromise wasn’t just about them changing so they were more human.
For whatever reason, that got me another hug and pleased sounds from Jerker. “Thank you, my Theo.”
He was happy but he still hadn’t told me what the point of all this had been.
Waiting him out seemed like the best way to handle it since that was what he did to me a lot, so I did my best to breathe steadily and marveled at the way he’d made playing with my dick relaxing. The slow way he was winding his tentacle around me and using all his nubs to almost massage it was amazing.
