His cheeks blushed as he glanced around the room and back at me, whispering and looking delightfully embarrassed. “They…they wouldn’t care because…because that wouldn’t be shocking here.”
Was that a question or was he just talking himself into it?
“That’s right. Nothing we did would be shocking here, but I won’t let them see anything they shouldn’t. I know you’re a private person, so I won’t push you too much.” There might’ve been a touch of disappointment in his eyes but he pushed it back quickly as I took his hand and encouraged him to come around the table.
He seemed slightly distracted as he rose and came toward me, still lost in thought but moving closer. It gave me enough time to push the table toward the other bench and make room for him…and it gave me time to decide how to clarify what I’d said.
Clearly, he didn’t want me to be too careful with him.
I just had to figure out what that meant in his fantasy-addled brain.
Moving the table over gave him enough room to curl up on my lap but it wasn’t a subtle move that went unnoticed. Every eye was on Payton as he inched over to me and paused as his brain seemed to finally catch up with what he’d done.
“Good boy.” Keeping a firm grip on his hand to make sure he knew I was still right there with him, I looked into his eyes and hoped he could see how much this moment meant to me. “Thank you for trusting me.”
Either the words themselves or something he saw in my face pushed him to keep going, and after a deep breath, he shifted and sat down carefully on my lap. He was perched there like a little bird, shy and blushing as every dirty Dom in the room held their breath.
Ignoring the nosy men, I released Payton’s hand and wrapped my arms around him, snuggling him against my chest like we’d done it a thousand times before. As he rested his head on my shoulder and curled his legs up beside me on the bench, he lost some of the stiffness. “I’m so proud of you, pet. You were such a good boy and you were so brave.”
That got a shiver racing through him and he let out a little whine that had me smiling. “No, don’t be embarrassed or shy…and no worrying either. Everyone in here thinks you look sexy curled up on my lap and they’re all very jealous.”
He laughed quietly, hiding his face against my neck as he kept his voice low. “You like that they’re jealous.”
And he liked that I liked it.
Giving him a squeeze, I didn’t try to hide the desire and delight in my voice. “Oh, I do. Every man in here would love to have you on your knees for him, but you’re curled up on my lap looking all sweet and cuddly.”
That got an embarrassed squeak from Payton, but instead of pulling away, he snuggled closer to hide against me. “They’re all so proud of you too because they saw how nervous you were when you came in. It takes a lot of guts to explore something new. They’re probably not sure what’s going on, but I can see how excited they are for you.”
Payton went still but it was a thoughtful quiet and nothing that worried me. When he finally spoke, his soft breath was warm against my skin and only made my desire stronger. “They’re still watching?”
Since that didn’t seem to be a bad thing, I made an agreeing hum and slowly began stroking his legs with one hand. “Yes, and I have to admit I love that they’re all wondering what I’m going to do with you. Some are hoping I’ll do something to make you come or that will give them all a show. They’re all trying to guess if you’re a shy exhibitionist or a nervous sub trying to please his Master.”
That got another shiver from my naughty boy and I could feel his body tightening as he sucked in a breath. “I…I shouldn’t do anything like that, Sir.”
That was not a no.
I wasn’t even sure it was him telling me his limits, so I stroked higher on his leg, massaging his thigh and going farther up with every caress. The way his knees were pulled up hid most of what I was doing, but it only made the scene more erotic because it left them guessing what was happening.
“They wouldn’t be shocked if I showed off my sexy sub. They’d know I would just be letting them look at the sweet boy who was submitting so perfectly.” Putting the decision on me seemed to have some of his reservations fading.
The tension in him eased as I took the responsibility for what would happen on myself, and as his body lost its stiffness, he made a soft, needy sound as he curled closer into me. “I…I like being a good boy, Sir.”
