“I like you.”

I step closer. “That’s nice to know.”

“You’re gorgeous, and the way you made me feel last night…” He sucks in a breath. “That was sohot.”

“I have some ropes in one of the lockers if you want me to tie you up like that again.”

Blake gulps and meets my gaze for the first time since I interrupted Cal.

“We could have a lot of fun, Blake, you and I.” I curl my hand around the side of his neck and stroke his nape gently. “Not just with shibari. Be my boy tonight, Blake.”

“Boy?” he whispers.

“Yes.” I swipe my thumb over his lips. They’re so plump, perfect for kissing. “I’ll take care of you.”

He tips his head back, and his eyelids flutter. “That sounds nice.” Then he starts as though waking from a dream. “But…” He tucks his chin against his chest. “I like Calvin too.”

At least he’s being honest about it.

“Which is why I’m confused,” he goes on. “I… Have you and Calvin ever…?” He looks past me to the sofas where Cal is lounging, watching us with a big smirk on his face.

“Ever…?”

“Hooked up?” The words rush out in a tone that lacks enthusiasm, which seems odd. Maybe he’d wanted to say something else, but that was what came out instead. “I know you’re not boyfriends, but have you ever fooled around together?”

“No.”

“Oh.” He stares at the floor.

“Tell me what you’re thinking, Blake.”

“Have you ever…?” He looks up, his cheeks pink. “Shared?”

“A guy?”

“Or anyone. It doesn’t have to have been a guy. Have you ever shared a sub with another Dominant?”

“No.”

He bites his lip. “Do you think you ever would?”

I’m too surprised to answer immediately, so I deflect. “Have you ever had two Doms before?”

“No. My only experience with this stuff is at kink clubs. I like it. I know I’m a submissive, but I’ve never played with anyone for more than an hour or so.” He twists his hands into the hem of his T-shirt.

“Have you ever been with two men before?” I ask. “Just sex?”

“No. I’ve only ever slept or played with one person at a time.” He looks around the room. “But events like this are meant to be safe places for trying new things out, aren’t they?”

“Yes.”

I try to figure out how I would feel about the possibility of sharing Blake with Cal for the night. How would it even work? Would we take it in turns to be his Dom or work together to turn him on?

“Are you making a serious suggestion?” I ask.

“Maybe?” He drops his T-shirt, and the fire returns to his eyes. “Yes, I am. I don’t want to choose between the two of you. The incident with Archie aside, you both seem like great guys. I knowyoucan make me melt into a puddle, and I’d like you to do it again, but I also want to see what kind of Dom Calvin is.”

“You could play with one of us, then the other,” I point out.
