Jamie never came up with a safe word as a Dom, although he knows he should’ve probably picked one just in case.

“Cherries,” he answers on a whim.

“Good. Are you okay with being blindfolded?”

“Yes,” Jamie says breathlessly.

Finn opens the cabinet behind Jamie’s back. Thinking about all the devices in there and the possibility that Finn might use them on him is kindling his arousal from a low simmer to a bright flame, his cock filling out in anticipation of what’s to come.

“You behaved very badly when you went through my things. You aren’t allowed to just pick something as you see fit and not discuss it with me first.”

“I’m sorry, sir,” Jamie finds himself apologizing to Finn again. The words leave his mouth with surprising ease. “It won’t happen again.”

Finn hums behind him, his hands trailing over Jamie’s shoulders and tangling in his hair.

“I’m going to show you what I’ll use on you today. And you’ll tell me honestly what you think about each item. Use the traffic light system.”

“Understood, sir.”

Finn takes the cane away and spreads out a piece of black fabric, red Shibari rope, nipple clamps and a plug.

“Blindfold?”

“Green.”

“Rope?”

“Green.”

“Plug?”

Jamie swallows. The plug is pretty sizable, and he hasn’t used one so far, but his desire to please Finn is too powerful.

“Green,” he breathes finally.

“Jamie.” Finn’s voice is a stern warning.

“It’s, um–It’s yellowish-green? I want it, but–” Jamie breaks off, feeling his cheeks grow warm. Great, he doesn’t want Finn to think of him as a submissive, except that he does want him to. And he doesn’t want Finn to think he’s aninexperiencedsub. He’s a mess. “I’ve never tried one, so I can’t be sure. But I want to try,” he babbles.

Finn strokes his hair reassuringly, causing Jamie to forget his embarrassment for a moment and surrender to the comforting touch.

“You tell me when it gets too much. You don’t just endure it, you understand?”

“Yes, sir.”

“What about the clamps?”

“Green.”

“Good boy. I’m going to blindfold you now. Is that okay?”

“Yes, sir.”

Jamie is so relieved he just has to follow Finn’s orders for now that his shoulders visibly sag. Finn places the black fabric over his eyes, and Jamie’s world goes dark. Having his sight taken away from him is surprisingly liberating, his bodily sensations getting more alert while his thoughts turn more muted. Jamie releases a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding.

“There you go. Relax.” Finn secures the blindfold and helps him to his feet. He’s a warm, steady presence behind Jamie. Finn’s hands wander down his flanks, dipping under the waistband of his panties. Jamie gasps, his senses heightened by the restriction of his sight.

“As lovely as they look on you, I”m going to take them off now. Good, step out of them.”
