Well, it seemed a little different.
“But why did that make Cash choke?” Pulling back again, I frowned at Bates. “Do I look like a pup? I’m missing something.”
He frowned back in an exaggerated way that made me fight the urge to smile. “I have not gotten enough kisses or smiles from my curious boy.”
He was just as dramatic as Cash.
But he was our Dom, so I gave him a quick kiss, and somehow that made me smile which made him smile. “Perfect.”
He was so distracting.
“I’m just going to explain what was in my head when it was all going on, okay?” He waited until I nodded before going on with storytime. “The pups don’t always wear a ton of clothes. Generally, the most they’ll wear is biker shorts and fitted shirts, but a lot of the pups online and in the clubs are wearing a lot less, and the…let’s call them the most fun tails are attached to plugs. So when the pup wags his tail it’s fun for him and to watch.”
Oh.
“I never found that kink when I was first looking.” I’d found Brady’s stuff and then decided the rest was overwhelming and kind of scary. “That’s not scary.”
It was kind of odd, though, but it seemed rude to mention that part.
Bates gave a vague half-shrug and smiled. “I don’t think so either. They’re cute and it can be sexy when they have the fun kind of tails.”
Well, he probably had a point there.
“But Cash…” Was still acting weird for one thing. “He was thinking about me with the fun tail? Because that was the most relaxing kink he could think of and…and he was startled when he pictured me naked?”
Before Bates could do more than nod, Cash sighed and nodded too.
Well, that cleared up some of it.
“Why did he feel bad about that?” The list of questions in my head just kept growing longer and longer but that seemed to be the best starting point. “Did he think I’d look silly?”
That didn’t feel right, so I wasn’t surprised when they both shook their heads.
Cash didn’t seem to have found his words yet, so Bates kept explaining. “I think he thought you’d look sexy and I think he was worried about what you would say if you figured out he was imagining you as a pup.”
We both turned to Cash who nodded again, still hiding. “Sorry?”
Well, a word was good even if it was confusing.
“I still don’t understand why he’s apologizing.” It was all so weird…hell, the puppy stuff made more sense than Cash’s emotional meltdown.
“This is all very new to him, the boyfriend and dating stuff and the kink conversations, so he might not know why he’s nervous.” Bates gave Cash another kiss on his head as Cash relaxed enough to curl into Bates instead of using him like a wall he was hiding against. “And he’s probably not used to having discussions about finding you sexy.”
Oh.
“Yeah, and he doesn’t do well with new things he hasn’t researched yet.” Cash liked to understand things before he did them. “Do you think he’s researched the pup part? The puppy play stuff, I mean? Oh, hey, is there porn for that?”
He’d gotten embarrassed the first and only time I’d walked in on him watching porn, so it’d make sense if it still made him nuts.
Bates was grinning like he was trying not to laugh, so I wiggled closer to Cash. “Do you watch the puppies and get hard?”
Man, that sentence was weird.
Okay, I was starting to understand why he’d gotten so embarrassed.
“It’s okay if you do. They have tails.” I couldn’t help wiggling my butt as I tried to imagine what it would feel like. “Are you watching happy, clothed pups or the naughty ones?”
Cash groaned.
“The naughty ones.” Bates’s helpful answer got more drama from our boyfriend. “That was probably part of what was embarrassing him too.”
“He’s not good at talking about porn.” I shrugged as Bates chuckled. “Even with me.”
And we were best friends.
Bates gave us both kisses again and pulled me back into another hug. “We’ll work on finding ways for Cashel to feel more comfortable sharing. It might take time, though.”
Ugh.
“Like we’re going slow with my spanking kind of time or longer than that?” How long was he supposed to get before he had to tell us what was going on in his head?
“Good question.” Bates made an exaggerated thinking face which made me smile. “Let’s say a bit longer than that if he needs it, but you’ll be working on your spanking, so I don’t think it will feel like you’re waiting forever.”
I hoped not.
“I like knowing what’s going on in his head.” Snuggling back against Bates, I pressed my face against his neck and nuzzled against him because he smelled so good. “You tell us what you’re thinking and that’s one of my favorite things about you.”
