“Not ever?”
He can see Daniel deciding whether he should be honest or not.
“I’m on your side, sweetheart. I’m here for you, not your father. Not the military.”
“I was… tempted. I tried once, but they were waiting for it. For me to… give in. I was locked up at night with handcuffs so that didn’t happen again.”
Liam knows he hasn’t misheard but it’s fucking unbelievable. This young man was handcuffed so he didn’t touch himself?
“That’s really… how do you feel about that?” Liam asks, catching his judgment just in time. Liam knows it’s awful, but he’s not sure Daniel does.
“Masturbation is not acceptable.”
“Well, I’m personally going to hell, then. And I’m pretty sure everyone else is, too.”
Daniel frowns, a flush crawling up his chest. It mottles his skin and maybe Liam shouldn’t find it appealing, but he’s pretty sure he’s just going to like everything about Daniel. “Okay. Let’s get this over with so we can get you out of here. Is that a good idea?”
“Yes.”
“Now then, we have to figure out how close your heat is. Which means an ultrasound. It’s gotta go inside you.”
Daniel blushes and his scent changes, a mixture of anxiety and lust.
“How about I help get you ready for that? We’ll open you up on my fingers, give you a release or two, and then check. Does that sound okay?”
“That… that needs to be done?” Daniel asks shyly.
“Yeah, it does. I’ll be gentle as can be. It’s a very small wand.” He picks it up, showing it to Daniel. It’s no thicker than a small dildo.
Daniel’s arousal spikes at the sight of it, his hips lifting and lowering in a tilt as he stares at it hungrily. Liam feels like an idiot. Daniel is a submissive and he does want to be fucked, he just hasn’t been. And he’s so submissive he probably doesn’t care how gentle Liam is.
“This is a medical procedure, Daniel. It has to be done.”
Daniel whimpers in relief, very faint and soft.
Liam decides to test him a little more. “I need this from you now, Daniel,” he says. “You be good and let me.”
“I can’t say no?” he whispers, then breaks out into goose bumps. His hand strays down again. He clenches his hand into a fist, stopping himself from touching his weeping cock. Two perfect drops spill onto his stomach.
“No, you don’t get to say no to me. Because I’m your Dominant. I know what’s best for you and what you need. Only me.” He’s supposed to be saying this to check Daniel’s responses to dominance, but as Liam is saying it, his own cock is hardening, eager to claim the submissive.
“I’ll be so good for you, Sir,” he begs, pretty and vulnerable.
“You’re just the best boy in the world, Daniel, aren’t you? Why do I think you wouldn’t say no to me? You’d let me do anything, wouldn’t you, sweetheart? So fucking good and obedient.”
“If—if you want me. Please, want me… I won’t say no,” he says, and closes his eyes. Tears glimmer on his lashes and he takes a deep shaky breath. He’s so goddamned beautiful and he doesn’t even know it. As if Liam wouldn’t want to just live with his dick buried inside him. He’s never met a submissive he’s wanted to have cry on his knot more. Daniel should be confident and needy, not afraid and uncertain.
“Look at me. I want you. You smell like a ripe submissive and you’re gonna make me pop my knot here pretty soon, you’ve got me so worked up.”
“I’m not doing anything.” It’s hesitant. Daniel licks his lips. Liam’s surprised Daniel doesn’t ask to see his cock, he seems so curious and needy, gaze drawn back down between Liam’s legs.
“You are. You’re submissive and sweet and getting all wet for me. I love good, slutty boys, honey. You’re so perfect, it won’t take much to get a reaction out of me. You’re gonna live on my knot for as long as I have you. How do you feel about that?”
“Good, Sir.” Daniel grinds down against the bed in need.
“That’s it, good boy. I’m going to touch you now,” Liam murmurs. He drags the sheet completely off of Daniel, exposing him to the room. Daniel sighs, probably happy to be put on display. “Get those legs open for me. Hold them back, show Daddy everything, baby.”
Daniel obeys, his pretty pink hole on display. “That’s the position I want you in,” Liam says. Daniel’s hole is clenching, but he’s not dripping slick like he should be. His submissive glands must be blocked up. Liam puts a glob of cool slick on his fingers, rubbing until it’s warm. Daniel is watching him eagerly.
