Page 13 of Learning to Run

Aiming wide eyes at him that Brady said was reallybelievable, I nodded and dropped my voice lower as I sank down as gracefully asI could. “Yes, Sir. I’ll be a good boy.”

Bingo.

Bates looked very Master, but I could see a sparkle in hiseyes that said I’d done it perfect. “I hope so.”

Ha, no more punishment threats.

Brady was insane but he was a genius.

Did subs come in the evil genius variety?

Bates walked around the bed and toward the dresser before Icould decide if he was going to smile or not, but Brady logic said he wasprobably hiding his face to make sure I didn’t see it. I wasn’t sure if he wasright in this case, but trying to decide was so distracting I forgot all aboutthe flogger until Bates came back over, swinging it softly.

It looked almost innocent.

The strands seemed to be soft and it was so small…but Bradywas small and kind of innocent looking and he was kind of dangerous, so I knewnot to underestimate the toy.

Or my Dom.

He usually looked innocent too…but as he walked around meand trailed the soft ends of the toy over my shoulders, his wonderfulwickedness came out. “Such a beautiful boy.”

The velvety ends of the toy sent a shiver through me thatraced right to my dick, making Bates chuckle. It was a sexy, rough sound thatmy dick liked just as much as he did the toy. But I had to admit, he reacted toeverything Bates did and just being watched in general, so he might’ve had alow threshold.

Especially the way Bates brushed the tips of the strandsover my nipples as he came around the front of me. Somehow just the look on hisface made me feel even more naked and I couldn’t help moaning. It was all tooperfect.

He smiled, looking wicked. “Yes, you like that, but will youlike what else it can do?”

It didn’t seem to be a real question I was supposed toanswer because before I could even begin to guess what he’d do and if I’d likeit, the toy swished in his hand and heat flared through one nipple.

Oh.

I could feel my eyes going wide and my dick wagging back andforth like a tail, but I wasn’t thinking enough to get words out before hetormented my other nipple.

Yep, just as interesting.

My nipples didn’t seem to have anything negative to say andmy dick was very curious, but I wasn’t sure either of them had common sense.“That’s…I don’t know what that is.”

Looking down at my chest, I marveled as he did it again. “Idon’t…”

I didn’t have nearly enough words to figure out what I wassupposed to say, but it felt like the whole thing needed me to say something.

“Just close your eyes and say whatever comes to mind, mycurious boy.” Bates leaned over and kissed my head as I obeyed. “Good boy.”

The sharp heat flared again over my chest, somehow feelinglike it’d gotten both nipples that time, but Bates’s hand softly stroked downmy face sending mixed signals through me.

“It’s hot.” That wasn’t it exactly but I wasn’t sure how todescribe it. “Like when Cash makes the good chili…the hot one that makes youwant to squirm but it’s so good.”

Oh.

As the idea rolled around in my head, Bates made a softthinking sound. Part of me waited to see what he’d say, so I was completelyunprepared for the flogger to come down on my thigh, high on the inside.“That’s like a warm blanket.”

It was good, but not as hot, and it was a softer warmth.

“That’s a wonderful description.” More gentle caressesseemed to be a reward for making him happy or maybe just trying hard. “I lovehow you see the world.”

More soft heat washed over me but that wasn’t from the toy,Bates was just so sweet he always made me feel warm and fuzzy. I gave upchasing a good description of the feeling and nuzzled his hand as he cupped mycheek.

As he made another low hum, sounding pleased and maybe proudof me, he started a gentle rhythm with the flogger. It was so distracting andfelt so good, I couldn’t figure out the pattern but there had to be one.
