Afterword

1. Obedience

Quiet, Cain said as he put his work out of his mind, abandoning the numbers and math of his accounting job to focus on Dave.

It wasn’t easy to set aside the role he had to play outside of Dave’s bedroom. If his family’s debts hadn’t been so high, Cain would never have become a debt slave.

The requirement to be servile and obedient grated against his more dominant nature, just as Dave’s more submissive personality ill-suited his position as Master of Tucker Industries. Neither of them was comfortable in the roles society demanded of them.

Not that any of that mattered once they were alone. Here they were both free to be exactly who they truly were. Cain smiled, allowing a long slow breath to slide through his nostrils as he listened to Dave behind him.

The faint creak and slither of rope painted pictures of Dave flexing as he tested the knots tied around his body. Dave’s breath puffed, rapid and shaky with combined excitement and nervousness. This wasn’t a game they played all that often. Nervousness was to be expected, if not acknowledged in his role as Dave’s secret Master.

Dave’s breath had been considerably faster as Cain tied the ropes but now it was slowing, deepening nicely. There was still a good long ways to go but they would get there. Cain had no doubts about his ability to ground Dave, to give them the pleasure they both sought. It was only a matter of how best to achieve their mutual goals.

The faint scratch of his nails over the dresser prompted a quiet moan from Dave. Cain smiled as he considered which of their toys to use. The flogger with its soft leather tresses snapped against his thigh. Dave moaned loudly and then swallowed audibly at Cain’s faint stiffening. Cain waited until Dave had control over his voice again before picking up the cane. Its impact against his palm made Dave wince and flinch, the ropes binding him creaking with the force of his reaction. No, not the cane.

Dave’s breath exploded out of him in a gasp that wasn’t quite loud enough to be a moan when Cain picked up the paddle. The slower pace of his breath disappeared into urgent little pants that made Cain smile. Yes, this should work very nicely indeed.

The bedroom was dim when Cain turned around. He’d turned the lights low everywhere but over the dresser to force Dave to focus exclusively on him. The last few weeks had been hard enough for both of them that Cain knew Dave needed to be taken down harder than normal. Ropes usually weren’t necessary, sadly, as they made a beautiful picture wrapped around Dave’s body. The red silk rope coiled around his body, keeping Dave in the position that Cain had chosen.

Dave knelt in the middle of the room, his arms bound securely behind his back. His knees were spread wide, heels tucked under his perfect ass. As soon as Cain turned around Dave dropped his eyes to the carpet underneath him. Cain smiled. There was nothing more perfect than seeing Dave submit this way except perhaps feeling his strong body quiver underneath Cain’s fingertips.

Good, Cain murmured as he slowly walked around Dave, brushing the very tips of his fingers against the nape of Dave’s neck.

Dave didn’t speak, didn’t moan; he managed to keep his shudder to a faint shiver up his spine. Really, he was so good when they played these games.

No one would ever have believed that a major corporate Master would be such a good sub but Cain knew the truth. Wealth and family inheritance didn’t dictate personality. This was what Dave truly needed, not being the one who gave the orders.

Come here, Cain ordered as he sat on the comfortable bench at the end of Dave’s bed.

He set the paddle to the side, watching with avid eyes as Dave’s cheeks went red. The blush crept down Dave’s neck, pinking his wide shoulders and warming the broad chest with its pierced nipples. A drop of precome welled up and fell from the tip of Dave’s cock as he slowly shuffled closer. With his arms bound behind his back and his ankles loosely lashed to his thighs, shuffling was all that Dave could do.

Every movement of Dave’s body made the red silk ropes shift around him. Cain could see how the reminder of whom he belonged to calmed Dave, centered him. The desperate pants stilled into calm breaths from deep within Dave’s core. Dave’s blush deepened and intensified until it covered his entire body. Cain could smell Dave’s arousal as he got closer, that mixture of semen and musk, lust and longing, that meant that Dave was nearly ready for what was coming.

Only once Dave knelt directly in front of Cain did Cain bend forward to press a gentle kiss against Dave’s forehead. It made Dave laugh, breath warm against Cain’s neck, but the tension in Dave’s shoulders relaxed even further, leaving him loose and ready for everything.

It only took a moment to remove the ropes binding Dave’s ankles and thighs. Cain made sure the knots came undone but left the rope coiled loosely around Dave’s legs. The sensation of it always made Dave shiver with pleasure.

Count, Cain ordered as he helped Dave arrange himself across Cain’s thighs. His cock pressed into Dave’s side while Dave’s cock quickly
