He curled his hand on the leg of Yev’s jeans, shifting around in his lap when the sting under his skin became more prominent. Yev meant it. He hadn’t liked what Radek had done at the club and wanted to put that point across for future reference.
“I’m sorry,” Radek said, and this time, he meant it too. In a twisted way, having to answer for his behavior was the anchor he’d been missing, and the apology filled him with relief. “I wanted to distract them from the arm. I only thought about myself and didn’t consider how you might feel.”
“You shouldn’t be so selfish next time,” Yev said, but when his hand returned to Radek’s buttocks, it was to pet the agitated flesh.
“I won’t be,” Radek promised, and could hardly believe how much he meant it. Not because his ass hurt a bit, since he’d agreed to that, but because Yev cared about their relationship enough to fight for change instead of walking away at the first annoyance.
Yev pushed up Radek’s sweater all the way over his head. As soon as Radek’s back was exposed, hot breath tickled the skin between Radek’s shoulder blades and Yev’s warm face lowered, rolling in the valley of sweaty skin.
“I picked up this spanking thing by accident. And I liked it,” Yev whispered.
“‘By accident’?” Radek arched to the touch, wishing to feel Yev’s stubble against the hot skin. His man had been clean-shaven in the morning, but the prickly shadow on his cheeks was already back with a vengeance.
Yev hummed in confirmation before pulling Radek back into a kneeling position and diving straight in for a kiss that turned the mild ache of Radek’s buttocks into a pleasant throbbing.
“I had to develop methods to deal with the knot, you see. I always had to pull out before my partner felt it grow, and they couldn’t see it either. I got into bondage through this weird, roundabout way,” he said, scooping Radek up, as if he weighed nothing.
Radek was quick to wrap his arms around Yev’s neck, overwhelmed after the spanking and seeking comfort even though he didn’t like to be needy. “So the handcuffs you used when we first met… you had them around for that?”
Yev snorted, carrying Radek past the kitchen and toward the bedroom, with the jeans and underwear still around Radek’s calves and ankles. So maybe he didn’t make the most glamorous picture, but what counted was that Yev didn’t seem to notice.
“Yes. That’s why they broke so easily. They're from a sex shop,” Yev said, chuckling as he opened the bedroom door with his foot.
Radek kissed Yev’s cheek, weirdly at peace after apologizing. “They didn’t break easily at all. I tried to get out of them and couldn’t. You’re just freakishly strong.”
Yev’s eyes closed, and he rubbed his face against Radek’s cheek, scratching him with the dark bristles he couldn’t get rid of for more than a few hours at a time. “How about you have a taste of the rest of my repertoire?” Yev teased and pressed the switch by the door.
Radek only had strategically-placed mood lighting installed here, so the illumination remained sparse around the huge bed with a leather headrest that reached Radek’s shoulders.
“Well… I’ve enjoyed everything so far,” Radek smiled, weirdly shy about it all. “Can’t cuff me though.” He waved his stump in front of Yev’s face.
”Are you really so sure about that?” Yev asked, with that same grin he’d presented earlier, like he was about to dig into his favorite snack. “Point me to ropes, scarves, or ties,” he said, placing Radek on top of the covers.
Radek gave him a curious look, already pushing off the jeans and underwear. “I’ve got scarves in the top drawer by the wardrobe.” His heart once more picked up its pace, and just watching Yev move with a purpose made him shiver in anticipation. Yev knew what he was doing and that made Radek feel safe enough to let down his guard further.
Yev leaned in and licked a hot line along Radek’s lips. His hand moved down Radek’s stomach, so, so close to the bare cock that was getting fully hard, but it stopped before the thick, strong fingers touched the sensitive head. “I’m gonna cover your eyes.”
“Oh.” Radek curled his toes and smiled at Yev, immediately feeling smaller, and not hating it one bit. Just like he hadn’t minded being a tiny fox in Yev’s big hands. He’d trusted Yev wouldn’t crush him, and he’d trust him now. “Okay, but it’ll make me even more useless,” he teased.
“Oh, we’ll take it up another notch. I’m also gonna tie you down, so you can’t run,” Yev whispered, and while the perspective unraveled in front of Radek made his stomach ache with mild unease, he still trusted Yev to make this introduction to bondage both pleasant and gentle. Seeing the excitement in Yev as he pulled out several scarves made Radek’s arousal spike in response.
