“I’m listening.”
“I’ll wear the ears Halloween night, and you can wear whatever costume you picked to go with it, and after work, you bring me back here and you make good on that promise to fist me.”
We’d been slowly working up to him taking my fist. Reese had never been fisted before, and I wanted to make sure he was as prepared as humanly possible. There was also a chance I was perhaps being overly cautious with him. He’d said he wanted things rough. He’d said yes to fisting. I had to trust that he meant those yesses when he’d meant every other word he said to me. I had to trust myself that I could be enough for him. That my rough was rough enough. That my presence was large enough. That anything he let me do to him would be well-received.
“Okay,” I told him. “Halloween, after work, I’ll give you a treat because you’ve been such a good boy.”
Reese smirked at me and pulled the ears out of the box. He slipped them on his head and looked at me, tilting his head to the side. “What do you think?”
“I think that I like it far more than I expected to.” I let out a breath and resisted the urge to adjust my rapidly filling cock. But I must have shifted in my seat, or maybe Reese just knew me well enough by now that he could tell when I was wound up.
“Did you want to take them for a test run?” He slid to the floor and sat there, kneeling. Hands pressed flat on the floor.
“Fuck.” I reached for him, cupped his face in both my hands, and brought my mouth down to his. I was a goner for this man. This man who let me indulge my whims without so much as a blink. “I think there was a time, not too long ago, when this would’ve been difficult for you, so I want to ask you how you’re feeling about it? About kneeling like this while wearing that. You’ve given me so much, and I want to make sure you’re okay with it. That I’m not asking too much or pushing too hard, or moving too fast.”
“Cory. They’re just ears.”
“Are they just ears?”
Reese held my gaze, and I could tell he was thinking about what I said. “For right now, they’re just a costume my gorgeous, thoughtful boyfriend got me for Halloween.”
I gently nudged one of the ears with my fingers. “You are cute as hell in them. Like I knew you’d be.”
He rolled his eyes, but he still blushed when I complimented him. I hope he never stopped.
“I’m not cute.” Reese pouted, only increasing how adorable he was.
“Okay, fine. You’re not cute. You’re the sexiest man alive.”
“Cory?”
“Yes, darling?”
“Can I see the tail?”
It wasn’t what I’d expected him to say, and it made me belly laugh. “Of course, you can.” I swooped forward to steal another kiss.
CHAPTER 6
Reese
The next night,Cory leaned against the wall with his hip cocked out and his arms folded casually in front of his chest. He tracked me in the mirror as I finished getting dressed and styling my hair, and only after I was finished, did he beckon me toward him. I closed the space between us in a handful of steps, and he rubbed his face against my chest, inhaling deeply.
“I love how you smell when you’re wrecked from sex, but there’s also something extremely appealing about you when you’re fresh out of the shower,” he murmured.
“Are you saying you like my cologne?”
“I’m saying I like everything about you.” He reached into his back pocket and pulled out the furry puppy ears he’d ordered for mycostume. “And I think I’ll like it even more when you’re on your knees.”
I grumbled, but sank down in front of him, tilting my head back so I could still see him.
“Yeah. Just as I suspected.” Cory fitted the ears on top of my head, then patted my cheek a little harder than was fairly necessary.
“Hmn?”
“You are the very best boy, after all.” Cory scratched his fingers against the underside of my chin and instead of batting his hand away, I entertained his little joke with awoof. He chuckled, then cradled my chin in his hand. “I can’t wait for your shift to be over.”
I huffed out a breath. “Why?”
