Page 46 of His Theo

“I like it when you figure out stuff that makes you happy.” I had to laugh when he just stretched two of his tentacles out to wash his hands instead of moving us closer to the sink.

“You also indicate by nonverbal cues that you either enjoy or find arousing intimate caretaking activities.” A free tentacle rubbed my head as he dried his hands. “You have given both types of signals. It seems to be based on the situation. Situational? Yes. However, your verbal capacity does not seem to be adequate to discuss it.”

Ugh.

“That’s right. I…I just haven’t had any practice discussing stuff like this.” Stuff like being carried around and being helped in the bathroom. He’d been the first Dom to suggest anything like that even though I knew it wasn’t just a species-specific thing.

He nodded as he picked me back up. “I understand.”

That wasn’t going to stop him, though.

“You are giving me tasks you have given no other.” Based on the hug I got, he liked that part. “Adjustments will take time.”

He wasn’t wrong.

“We will follow the human saying of one step at a time.” Setting me on his lap as we got back to the couch, he snuggled me close against his torso as his limbs wrapped around me. “We will move steadily into submission and you will remember that it makes me happy.”

I was starting to think he’d learned how to use that phrase to his advantage.

Masters were just as sneaky as Nicholas said they were.

“And we’ll remember that limits are important in human domination-based relationships.” I wasn’t sure if I was reminding him or me, but we both probably needed to hear it. But since limits didn’t make my Master happy, I kissed his cheek and tried to aim nice emotions in his direction.

Yep, more snuggles came my way and it felt like he was more relaxed even though the only change I could pinpoint was the way his caresses were shifting from cuddly to pulsing and sexy. He hadn’t even touched my dick and I was already thinking about what he’d do to me.

“Good boy, my Theo.” His throbbing limbs slowly started tightening around me. “Your emotional comfort is very important to me, so you will continue to provide your limits and we will communicate about them.”

Nodding, because I could still move my head, I tucked my face against his body. “Yes, Master. I know I’m important to you.”

There was no doubt about that.

“You are.” One slender tentacle slipped down the front of my pants and started gently caressing my cock like it was a fidget toy. “Your emotional and physical needs are significant to me.”

Warmth flooded through me, but it was making my dick slightly confused because he couldn’t figure out our current goals when Master was being so sweet.

“I will keep you safe and secure in a variety of ways. However, your verbal communication is very important as well.” There was something in his tone that said I needed to be careful, but I couldn’t figure out why.

I should’ve thought faster.

Fuck.

As one thinned-out nub eased into my slit, gently fucking my cock from the inside out, he made a soft, thinking sound and nuzzled against me as I whined. “Submit, my Theo. Submit and explain why you were not aroused at this bathroom visit.”

Damn it.

I needed to learn to think faster so I could distract him better.

“I…” Closing my eyes, I tried to ignore how trapped I was and how incredible he was making me feel. “I…”

What had he been asking me?

I knew I was supposed to be worried or embarrassed or something, but his nub sank deeper and the fucked from the inside out feeling just kept getting better and better.

“Elimination, my Theo.” His slender torture device wiggled, sending confusing sparks through me and I gasped as I shivered. “Interesting. But we will not deviate from our discussion, my mate.”

My head was just clear enough that I knew I should be frustrated about that.

“You were not aroused.” Master decided to make sure that didn’t happen again by continuing to fuck my dick. “Please explain so that I may organize the information.”
