“Thank you, kitty.”
“I have to say...in the past twenty-four hours you’ve opened up a lot of new doors for me.”
“Is that a good or bad thing?”
Quintus lifted his head off Scott’s chest and kissed his chin before moving up to his lips. “It’s a very good thing.”
“Well then, should we take this to the bedroom? Or do you prefer I suck your cock on the couch?”
“How about we do it in your playroom instead?”
“Why are you always trying to get me to break my rules?”
“Someone once told me it’s okay to break the rules once in a while.”
Scott pecked his lips. “Come on, let’s get cleaned up. I’ll let you look around my pride and joy.”
“I can’t wait.”

“There arerules you need to know before entering my playroom,” Scott told Quintus.
They were standing in front of the closed door leading to the pride of his apartment. They’d showered, and Scott had loaned Quintus one of his button-down shirts It was big, hanging off one of his shoulders. Scott thought it was sexy as hell and was making it a mandatory thing that he only wore his shirts whenever they were together. Scott was getting excited and couldn’t wait to hear what Quintus liked about his sanctum.
“Okay, what are the rules?”
“One, the only person allowed to wear clothes is me.”
“That’s easily fixed,” Quintus said, unbuttoning the shirt he was wearing, letting it fall to the floor and pool around his feet.
“Fuck, you’re beautiful,” Scott whispered, letting his eyes lustfully rove over the naked man in front of him.
“Are you going to tell me what’s the second one or keep eye fucking me?”
“I can do both at the same time.”
“Focus on one thing at a time, my vampire.”
Scott chuckled. “Fine. Second is, any question I ask, unless I require an explanation, the answer is a yes or no. Third, your safe words are permitted. Until we establish a Dom and sub relationship comprised of a contract, we will go with green, red, and yellow. I’m positive you know what they mean.”
“I do,” Quintus answered. “Anything else?”
“No cellphones, but for now that’s it. So, here’s what’s going to happen tonight. I’m going to let you go in there by yourself and look around. I’m giving you thirty minutes. When you’re done, we’ll talk about some of the things you saw in there. You’re allowed to open all the drawers and cupboards and touch anything you see interesting. Make a mental note of those things so we can put it on our list of things you might want to try later. And don’t worry if you see something and you don’t know what the hell it is. We are going to take things slow for now. I want you to familiarize yourself with the room.” Quintus nodded in understanding. “I know it will seem overwhelming, but that’s why we’ll talk about it. Okay?”
“Okay.”
Scott stepped closer to Quintus and kissed his forehead. “Go on. I’ll be out here waiting for you. And don’t worry about the time. I’ll knock on the door to let you know when to come out.”
Quintus nodded as Scott stepped back, giving the cheetah some room and watched as he walked to the door. Quintus stopped for a second before he opened it and entered, closing the door behind him. Scott knew he was doing the right thing. He wanted Quintus to be sure this was what he wanted with him.
“I want this with Quintus more than I realized,” he whispered.
He knew what Quintus told him, and he accepted his reasons. But watching a bunch of videos wasn’t going to let him gain a different scope of what the lifestyle entails. It was then that Scott had an idea. He quickly scanned his watch, noting he had some time before Quintus came out.
Picking up the shirt Quintus dropped to the floor, he slung it over his shoulders as he walked into the sitting room and picked up his phone, dialing a number he hadn’t in years.
“This is a surprise,” Rodney, a friend and owner of The Vault,said when he answered the phone.
