Kindle Notes & Highlights
I hadn’t known I was gay at first, but the other kids did. They smelled blood in the water, and I was their prey.
I only dated subs, or switches who didn’t need to dominate very often.
I blamed Aidan for that. Seeing how happy he was with Finley made me want more,
Ian didn’t ask. Jordan did.”
“Be careful what you ask for, pet. I just might take you up on the offer, and you need to make sure you can handle it.”
It felt…weird. I felt left out.
I wondered if he knew what a caretaker he was.
“Oh, pup. You’re completely wrong if you think submissives don’t have power. They set the limits. They choose to give power to their Dom. There’s control in that—the utmost control. I’ll be back soon.”
He was…hell, he was special. I was lucky to have him in my life.
“We’re attention and praise sluts. Cuddle us and tell us we’re pretty or doing a good job, and we’ll do anything.”
“I don’t need anyone to take care of me.” “Neither do I. Neither does Finley. But it’s okay to want that.
“He’s a cuddly little thing, isn’t he, pup?” David said from the doorway. “He’s going to require lots of love and praise, I think.” I nodded. “You think correctly.”
You’re a naughty little kitten, Jordan, like I told you. Ian is a stubborn pup.
The thought of craving Ian if he felt the same made me uneasy, yet the reality remained that I still wanted him.
figured it would depend on his mood whether he liked feeling as if he was being taken care of, or taking care of someone else.
“Did you call us down here to watch us eat?” Ian asked. “Is that one of your kinks?”
“We should plan something soon. I always… I always worried that you only hung out with me because Finley did.”
after I got out of a shower with a fucking seat in it. I’m stubborn, but I’m not stupid.”
That was the only reason I was going, I told myself. I was a liar.
You’re a good person. Good people deserve nice things to happen for them.
and he won’t ask for anything, so I made it all about me when I asked to cuddle with him. If I hadn’t done it that way, he would have said no, even though he enjoyed
Our little kitten?
I knew this was more than just getting off. If I closed the door now, I wouldn’t have to explore, to open myself up to them the way Finley did with Aidan, because that scared the fuck out of me—showing someone all the stuff inside. Giving them power to hurt me. To leave me.
I knew what he was doing. He was making me a part of this. Still instructing Jordan, but doing it through me, giving me control while somehow not losing it himself.
He was? I’d done good? I was a good boy too? Somehow, my insides felt like they were settling into place.
But if I listened, I would be a good boy, and there was suddenly nothing in the world I wanted more.
Ian liked this, liked us, just didn’t want to like it.
We’re all nuanced. No one is one thing.
“I hope he lets us keep him. Ian needs…he needs to feel comfortable. You’re good at that.”
“I was a whore…you should probably know. When Fin and I were younger. I never told him, since he would have felt guilty, but when we needed money, I sold myself.”
When did anyone ever just want what was best for me?
“That’s David’s rule, huh?” I cocked a brow, and the light inside him burned brighter. “No. I lied. It’s my rule, and I just made it up. Do I get points for telling the truth?”
“Dude. Are you like, Batman or something?”
It’s important to me to ensure I can always take care of my family. Plus, I’m nearly double your age.
“You sound like Finley.” “We have a smart friend.”
Hearing the way his voice deepened, the command in it, made my dick flex. Yes, when the time came, I could see myself submitting to Ian.
knew right then that I would do everything in my power not to let my kitten and pup go.
didn’t feel silly for calling David my Daddy. It was what he was to me.
