This was a really sexual one.

“The bottom line, Ian, is your duty is to keep my balls empty. It sounds crass, and ridiculous, but if you’re expecting me to protect you, and die for you, then you’ll offer yourself up often. Outside of bed in public, we’ll be equals, but the second we are home and alone, you’re to go into sex slave mode, and be there for me that way. I need to feel wanted and respected.”

Ian agreed.

“I can say I’m good with that. I do have something to add to my list, and it is along the lines of date night.”

He lifted a brow.

“What?”

“You fuck me at least once a month in a kilt. I want the full ‘my Lord’ treatment. I want you to order me around, drink your cum, and then get fucked by you. Like last night. Once a month, Gryphen. I want to be surprised by it too.”

He actually giggled.

“Write it down. I approve of that perverted, kinky request!”

He did.

“Your turn,” he said to Gryphen.

“This is a big one for me. Trust. If someone hits on you, flirts with you, or tries to get with my man, you tell me. I don’t want to feel insecure. It goes along with the no secrets thing you have on your list. I’m entitled to know if there’s someone after my treasure.”

“I agree. You’ll also do the same. We’re equals. Just because I’m willing to give you myself in sexual servitude doesn’t mean I am not equal. With sex, we have different needs. In life, we do not. I need to be on my knees for you, but I also need to trust you.”

“DEAL,” Gryphen said, picturing him on his knees and getting him off.

“Anything else?” Ian asked.

This was a big one for Gryphen.

“Under no circumstance are you to put yourself in any situation like today being alone with a stranger. Those men in the alley would have hurt you. When we’re with people, men specifically, I want you by my side. I want you escorted when other men are around that I don’t know to trust.”

He was curious.

“Like who is safe?” he asked.

“My Marine brothers I work with. The Blackhawks too. The people you work with, but never like today. That could have ended badly. Think of yourself as grounded from being alone with men. If you tempt that anger, Ian, it will come to the party. I’m very jealous and I fear losing you. You will be punished. Harshly. This is my big rule.”

Ian agreed to it.

“I’ll be very cognizant of it.”

“I can’t protect you if you don’t listen, and if I fail to protect you, I’ll blame myself. I can’t live with that guilt.”

He got it.

“Deal. What’s next?” Ian asked.

Gryphen lightened up after that one. It was one of the rules he thought he’d hate.

“I want to experiment with lots of different things. I don’t want to be afraid to explore our needs. If you have something you want to try, or do, I expect you to bring it to me, and we’ll do it. We won’t be happy if we feel like our sex life is lacking. I like spice, and I want to keep it like that.”

“Oh, I will, my Lord,” he said, getting Gryphen all stirred up by licking his lips and looking at the man’s dick.

“Jesus. This is how we die. You’re going to be what kills me or makes my dick fall off.”

He laughed.
