Bates didn’t mind, though.
He just kissed both of our heads and let Cash laugh because he was a nice guy who didn’t think we were strange. “I think he’s just glad the date is going so well.”
Yes, he’d liked my kiss.
He hadn’t even said it was weird either.
“Yeah, I can feel how much you’re both enjoying the date and I have to admit, it’s wonderfully distracting.” Bates’s comment was a bit vague but between his sparkling eyes and the way Cash was snickering, it didn’t take me long to figure out it was an erection comment.
But it meant Cash was hard too, right?
My glance at him must not have been as subtle as I’d hoped because Bates’s grin just got wider and he waggled his eyebrows.
Well, I had my answer.
But it didn’t tell me what we should do next, so I decided that was probably up to Bates.
I kind of liked that for some reason. Some idiots I’d dated were just bossy in a pain-in-the-ass kind of way, but Bates made it feel natural to let him take charge. I wasn’t sure if it was because he’d just started out bouncing into our life already being nosy and bossy or if it was about the Dom thing, but I had a feeling it was probably both.
So I was going to let him be in charge.
To me, that meant I could cuddle back into his chest and just let him and Cash figure things out. Cash liked being bossy sometimes too, so I hoped Bates would let him make some decisions too. But that seemed like something they’d need to work out together, so I tried not to be helpful.
Luckily, Cash finally stopped giggling and opened his eyes, completely distracting me with how deep they looked.
“Are you hard too?”
Fuck. I hadn’t meant to ask that.
He managed not to start giggling again but it looked painfully difficult to hold it all in. “Yeah, so is Bates.”
Oh.
Cash’s leg was on the bottom of our stack of limbs, so I took his word for it. “Good to know.”
But did that mean Bates liked kissing us or watching us kiss or did the spanking conversation do it for him too?
I could hear Brady in the back of my head saying that I shouldn’t ask because it might be rude, so I just snuggled back into Bates as he let out a quiet laugh. “You two are so cute.”
That was better than being confusing or annoying.
Bates continued stroking our backs and kissing our heads as we snuggled against him, and I had to admit, it was one of the best dates ever…but that didn’t mean I was ready to start savoring things.
And if I wasn’t going to savor, then maybe it would be okay to ask questions?
“Why does Jude like spanking Brady?” It seemed like a good place to start, but Cash’s eyes went wide. I started to worry Bates would get upset, but he made a soft, thinking sound and kissed my head again.
So maybe he wasn’t upset?
Had Cash thought it was a weird question?
Was he worried about what Bates would say?
Oh, maybe I wasn’t supposed to talk about another Dom when I was cuddling with one?
There seemed to be a lot of rules that no one had mentioned yet, but Bates was the funny, patient type of Dom and didn’t seem to be easily offended.
“Well, all I can do is answer that from my perspective, so this might not be right for Jude, but I think it’s going to be close.” Bates’s hand stroked down over my ass, barely petting the place he’d spanked before. “I like giving my partner pleasure. I like seeing my partner submit, and I like seeing my marks on a sub.”
As I thought about that, he squeezed my ass and chased out most of the logical bits that had accumulated. “I’d love seeing you submit so completely to me and give yourself to me. I’d love seeing you cuddled up to Cash, nervous and sexy. I’d love seeing the way my hand decorated your ass and the way you squirmed as the pleasure built, and I’d love to see you orgasm.”
His answers were always thorough, but sometimes that made me want to squirm because he said things to me no one else ever had before.
“You might be humping the bed or you might be draped over Cash and get off against his body.” Bates made another thinking sound, like planning out the options was perfectly reasonable. “We could sit opposite from each other and you could lie across both our laps. That way I could spank you and you could hump his lap while he held you.”
Bates gave my ass the lightest pat while he thought again and it made the fantasy seem even more real. “We could also do it so you were facing Cash on your side but that might be a bit harder to get the right leverage. I’ll have to think about the mechanics of that one.”
