Page 48 of King of Liars

“What? No. That was fucked up.”

King reached over the console and set his hand on my leg. “Boss, that was perfect. Hell, my ass and back are still hurting, thanks to you.”

I didn’t take pride in thinking about the belt against his back, making fresh pink marks across his beautiful body.

“No, that’s not why I wanted to talk to you in private. If anything, you earned a special treat.”

A treat?

He didn’t volunteer more than that. Instead, we chatted about classes and people we’d seen around at parties while he took me to an undisclosed location. We were driving for maybe thirty minutes on the freeway when he pulled off at an exit and into the lot of a brick building with a wide sign out front that read, in bold black letters: Ace’s Wild. The image of handcuffs linking the two words told me everything I needed to know about the kind of shop it was.

We headed inside. A guy about Hole’s size, stacked with muscles and sporting dreadlocks, stood behind the counter. He gave us a friendly smile. “Good to see you again, Sy. How’ve you been?”

“Doing good. Ace, this is my buddy, Boss.”

We approached him, and I shook his hand.

“Pleasure to meet you, Boss. Did you need help finding anything today? Or just browsing?”

“Just browsing,” King said, though I suspected he already had a good idea of what he wanted.

“Well, if you need help with anything, I’ll be changing out the dildo display,” Ace said with a wink. He leaned toward me. “That’s just a little adult-shop humor. We don’t have a display. They’re along the wall.”

I laughed. “Gotcha.”

“I’ll give Boss the grand tour and let you know if we have any questions,” King said, and we headed on our way.

We perused the toys together.

“You ever been in an adult store before?” King asked once we’d gotten out of earshot of Ace.

I shook my head. “No. This is definitely a first for me. I guess this is where you get your restraints and stuff?”

“Of course. This shop in Vintage Ridge is the closest thing we have to campus. Anyway, there’s this thing I’ve been curious about, especially recently.”

Because of me? Because of what I did to him the other night?

He ran his fingers along the various boxed toys as we continued along, until he slipped into a corner, where he eyed a large box, taller than me.

It took me a minute to notice the picture on the corner of the package. My gut instinct was to laugh.

“What?” King asked, his face locked in a wicked expression. “You don’t think it’d be exciting for you and the knights to fuck me in this?”

The moment he said it, I felt my dick expanding in the crotch of my jeans.

“You do. I knew you did,” King said. “Because we’re not liars anymore, are we?”

“Of course not.”

“Like, if I asked if you were messing around with any of the knights outside of our meetings, you’d tell me, right?” His tone and expression were full of suspicion.

This wasn’t a light conversation anymore, but a test.

I glanced around, checking to make sure Ace really couldn’t hear us. But in the corner we were in, it seemed we were a safe distance away from the front of the store.

“Is that a problem?” I asked.

“Not as long as you’re both honest with me. Hole and One were the same way. I just don’t want anyone thinking they’re making a fool out of me, because Boss, I’m no fool.”
