His smile stayed put and his chatter continued, but the wiggles faded and he pulled our hands until we had him bookended between us. “But…but I just don’t know about that hot water tap thing. I think it sounds like I could burn myself if I wasn’t paying attention.”
“I agree.” My firm response got a nod from Jasper. “No helpful home gadgets that could burn you.”
Sighing, Kennedy pouted. “Yeah, that’s what I thought you’d say. Even Francis said it would be a bad idea.”
It was good to see that even when he was frustrated, Francis wasn’t trying to kill Kennedy.
“You’ve got a lot of other ideas that are really good, though, and that are safe.” My addendum got a giggle out of Kennedy even if he was trying to huff and play offended. “Safety is my priority and you don’t always think of that.”
“I’d rather have fun as my priority.” Shrugging, he looked casual but his grip on my hand tightened as we moved around the lounge and he realized we weren’t just meandering. “The…it’s the group of guys in the corner, isn’t it?”
“Smart and sexy. It’s a hot combination.” Looking over at Jasper, I shrugged. “It makes me want to do things to him. I just can’t help myself.”
He scoffed. “You’re the Dom. That only works if you’re the sub.”
Kennedy huffed out a soft laugh. “I’m not sure anyone ever said there were different rules like that for Doms and subs. We’re all supposed to control ourselves. A sub has to have enough control to give it away. And Doms so they don’t do something stupid.”
Hmm.
“Good point.” Kissing his head, I sighed. “Then I’ll just have to make the controlled, logical decision to kidnap you and keep you all to myself.”
Jasper rolled his eyes but Kennedy grinned wider. “What would you do to me?”
Naughty boy.
He was perfect.
Chapter 24
Kennedy
“No, they were all very nice. It was like sitting down with lawyers. Lots of talk about rules and studying each other. And me.” I hadn’t felt like a bug or a criminal, though. “But Anson and Mr. Jasper were there to keep the conversation going and they didn’t let me get overwhelmed.”
By the men who wanted to let me borrow their penises.
“They’re really volunteering for that?” Francis looked just as confused as I felt as he leaned over the edge of the couch and frowned at me. “And you didn’t think they were creepy or just…I don’t know…weird?”
“No.” But that in itself was probably weird. “They treated it very normally and seemed to think it would be fun. Like going to a baseball game and getting to play for a bit.”
Tops were weird sometimes.
That’d been what had surprised me the most…they’d been a mix of Doms and subs.
“They kept looking at each other’s laps and I think they were trying to gauge dick sizes.” Shaking my head, I sighed. “They just don’t understand how it’s going to work.”
I knew I was right, but it was rude to point that out to them.
Francis shrugged and flopped back on the couch. “Youthinkyou know how it’s going to work out. Sometimes scientists are wrong about their experiment.”
Bullshit.
But that would be rude to say.
“We’ll see.” Very soon. “We’re going back this weekend to do my experiment.”
There’d been a few men who’d come over to hang out who just hadn’t felt right, but the core group of men that Anson and Conner had clearly picked out were very nice. None of them were Anson or Mr. Jasper, but they’d been polite and not creepy.
“I thought you were going to have lunch withhimthis weekend.” Francis’s head peeked out over the side of the couch again. “It sounds like you’re dating him. He touched your ass and now you’re having food.”
