“Oh, no. We’re just friends.”
Cielo’s gaze flicks up to mine, and he nods.
“This would be for my Vyastil companion. The one I live with.”
“Oh,” Dante says, his eyes alight. “How exciting. What’s that like?”
Normally, I’d be annoyed with the invasive question, but for some reason, I like this guy, and his curious questions don’t seem to bother me.
“Intense.”
Dante shivers slightly. “I bet. The weekly blow jobs are something else. I’ve never experienced anything like it.”
“Yeah.” I meet his blue-eyed stare. “You’re not one of those dudes who line up at the clinic, are you?”
“The cum zombies?” he says with a laugh. “No. I have more self-respect than that.” He peers over at Cielo, who is staring. “I like your jacket,” Dante tells him, using both his hands and voice to communicate, and Cielo hums softly. “The color suits you.”
His ears flutter, and I step to the side, letting them have their moment. I don’t even know if he’ll notice I’ve gone wandering with the way he’s ogling Dante.
I let my eyes take in the store, the aisles neatly arranged by category of products. It’s all very easy to navigate. When I wander through the apparel section, my eyes fall on a few items that I’m sure Rath would like, specifically a silk pair of underwear that has an opening for my hole.
My fingers run along the smooth silk, and I consider buying it, but I’m not sure he deserves it. If anything, I should get something to show him that I’m in control of my body and that I mean business. Something that will keep me locked away until he makes good on his promise.
I pick it up and let the hanger dangle from my fingertip. It is nice, though. Maybe if he’s good, I’ll wear it for him.
I peer over my shoulder and see Cielo staring down at Dante, who is maneuvering his hand into a shape—probably a sign—touching him a little too long, his fingers running along his palm. Cielo’s claws pop out and then retract, his ears fluttering wildly.
He’s malfunctioning slightly, and it’s kind of adorable.
I huff a small, amused laugh as my gaze shifts back to where I’m perusing. It’s then that I see the bondage section. My gaze settles on all the things that are used to restrain, and I shudder slightly. If I could tie Rath up, make him bend to my will…
Not that I think any of this stuff would keep him tied down. I think he’s far too strong for human rope and chains.
I think I’d need something forged in their world.
My fingers drag down a mask, and then my eyes land on something. My breath catches in my throat as I stare at it.
A cock cage.
Several, in fact. Different sizes and shapes. Some with latches and keys. Maybe this is what I need. Something to keepmy cock hidden from him until he takes me back to his world. Or at least agrees to discuss it with me.
Not that I’d keep it hidden for long, but him knowing Icouldis something at least.
I pick up one of the cages with a key and hold it in my hand. I’ll try this. See how Rath likes it when I refuse to give him something I promised to.
Then I step forward, moving into the toy section.
It’s there I find the plugs. I’ve, of course, never used one of these, but still. I could keep myself locked up on both ends. My lips twitch as I imagine it, the frustration Rath would feel when he sees me inaccessible.
It makes my cock twitch in my pants.
“What are you doing, my Everest?”
I roll my eyes at the sudden intrusion in my mind.“None of your business.”
“You are thinking of my tongue on your cock.”
My lips turn down even as I adjust myself.“I am not. Now go away. I’m out with Cielo.”
