Page 14 of Lost Boy

Mitch bit his lip.

“I will spoil my boy rotten,” Byron added.

Mitch glanced up.

“The trust my boy gives me is everything so I have to show him that.”

“What about… what about punishments?”

“I believe in punishments and discipline,” Byron responded. “That’s one of the ways I show I care. I’ll expect great things from my boy because I know he’ll be capable of that greatness.”

“Oh.”

Byron let Mitch digest his words and ate his food. He was almost done when Mitch cleared his throat. Mitch’s plate was empty and most of his milk gone.

“Would you like more?” Byron questioned.

“No thank you.” Mitch leaned back and fiddled with his pacifier. Byron was pleased that Mitch didn’t try to sneak the pacifier in his mouth.

Byron finished his meal before he pushed the plate away. “Do you have more questions?”

Mitch nodded. He moved his gaze to the window.

“I don’t want to push you but I think this is the perfect opportunity for us to have this conversation, finally.”

Mitch sighed. “Do you still think I…I’d be a good boy for you.”

“Mitch, will you look at me?”

Mitch turned his head.

Byron hated seeing the insecurity. “Yes, I believe that we’d make a good match. Our interests are similar and our chemistry is off the charts.”

“But-“

“But what?” Byron pressed when Mitch didn’t continue.

“What if what I want is different than what you expect?”

Byron slid his palm across the table silently asking for Mitch’s hand.

Mitch placed his hand in Byron’s.

“I’m a Professor of a human sexuality class at the University, I do demos and teach classes at the club, and I’ve written several papers on BDSM so I doubt there is anything you ask for or want, that I don’t at least have some knowledge in.”

Mitch took a deep breath.

“Is there something specific you want to talk about?”

“Not…not tonight. If that’s okay.”

It was to be expected. He still had to gain Mitch’s full trust. “I admire you being able to say that.”

Mitch relaxed.

“Let me ask you one question?”

“Okay.”
