But it did get him pets on the head, which had him letting out a deep breath and feeling less tense. “That’s better.”
We both ignored how close he was to my erection as I stroked his head and let him relax in quiet for a bit longer. I wanted to make sure he knew that there was nothing wrong with him cuddling with me and that we didn’t need to rush.
I wasn’t completely sure what I was supposed to be doing with the whole Dom and Handler thing, but that part seemed like the most important thing we could establish.
He had to feel safe with me.
He had to know cuddling was good.
He had to know that he could be with me without having to do anything.
So I waited and petted and snuggled as his breathing slowly deepened, and I knew he was finally ready when he started stroking my thigh and I could feel the difference in him. He was calmer and there was something almost fluid to the way he moved as he snuggled against me.
“This is a very good boundary, pup.” I was still guessing where to start, but I knew I’d done pretty well when he nodded. “You can always ask for cuddles and pets. You can just come up and snuggle against me if you want to be held. I’ve never had a problem with that and I never will.”
I liked cuddling him and the whole submissive puppy thing wouldn’t change that.
It just made it better, honestly.
“I like that boundary.” His quiet admission had the tension in my chest easing. “What else is a good boundary?”
So he’d get to okay what I said but he wasn’t going to volunteer anything?
It felt very Ender, so I didn’t even bother teasing him about it.
“If I’m going to be in charge of your erections, then coming up to me and making it obvious that you’re hard would also be a good boundary.” That had him groaning, but when Ender didn’t pull away, I knew he agreed with me. “If you press your erection against me or somehow make it obvious, I won’t even make you use your words. I’ll just know you’re asking for an orgasm and I’ll decide how you get it.”
That was the part that had him going very still…until he shivered.
Yep, no need to worry yet with that one, either.
“You’d…you’d decide?” His voice was quiet and he’d turned his face toward my leg to hide, but he didn’t let nerves stop him.
“Yes.” But there had to be some qualifications to that. “If you don’t ask for something specific, or even if you can’t ask, I’ll decide how we take care of your erection. That’s my job as Dom and Handler.”
I could almost hear him swallow but he took a breath and kept going. “Some Handlers don’t like it when pups are…when they’re more sexual.”
It wasn’t technically a question but it was clearly a request for information.
“First of all, I’m very proud of you for making sure I knew that was a concern.” Rewarding him with some firm rubs over his back, I shrugged as I tried to decide how to answer it. “I don’t have a lot of preconceived notions about what a Handler should want. I’m your Handler. That’s my frame of reference and your pup side is obviously drawn to that type of play.”
I wasn’t going to do anything crazy like declare myself a Handler in general. If Ender changed his mind tomorrow, I couldn’t imagine going out to find another pup. I’d never considered a relationship like that to begin with either.
This was just an Ender wants it kind of thing and that was okay.
“Does…does it bother you when that other pup does…does naughty pup stuff?” Ender couldn’t seem to decide how he wanted to word the question and I could see why.
“Let’s not call it naughty. I mean, it is in the sexy and fun sense, but I think that puts a negative view on it. How about we simply say fun or some kind of variation on that? You want to be a happy pup. Not just a regular cheerful one.” That might’ve sounded nuts, but at least it didn’t sound negative.
Ender gave a quiet laugh, probably thinking it sounded ridiculous, but he nodded. “Okay, yes. I like that.”
Alright, one thing off the list.
“I do not mind that you are a happy pup.” I wasn’t sure why anyone would have an issue with it, but I decided I didn’t need to know what another Dom’s logic would be on the subject. “You have a cute cock and you make even cuter noises, so I’m going to have fun watching you have fun.”
He groaned, pressing his face tighter against me. “That sounded terrible.”
Yep.
“Hmm, should you be telling your Dom that his puns aren’t funny?” Ha, funny. “Is this really the point to be a pain in the ass?”
