Page 29 of Hiding From Laughter

“You…you like control.” Still focusing onthe easy aspects of it, he didn’t sound too surprised at the plan. He evenstarted to relax as he rubbed his cheek against my chest. “And you…you liketaking care of me.”

“I really do.” It was so obvious in myvoice that he giggled. “So we’re just going to say that I’m going to enjoy theconsequences of your actions.”

“You’re so ridiculous.” His tone wasresigned with a bit of curiosity, so I waited while he dragged out the moment.“That.”

Nodding toward the binkie, he glared at itlike he was personally offended by it. “You might want to use the mittens. Idon’t want you to forget that I don’t have to talk.”

Oh, interesting logic.

“That’s a good call.” It’d help remind himnot to grumble about me being a dick too. “And you’re right, I like themittens.”

I even had new ones.

“And did you know that there are even…quiettoys that are strapped on so that the sub can’t take them off. Then there wouldbe no way either of us could forget.” That had my curious nut’s eyes goingstartlingly wide, but the way his mouth dropped open made it easier for me tobring the clean binkie up to his mouth and pop it in. “I thought we could startwith the simple version first.”

My mental debate on that aspect had beeninteresting, though.

I wanted him to maintain some level ofcontrol at first, but he didn’t always do well with it. He was generallyhappier when I forced him to do what he wanted to do in the first place. It wasfucked-up logic in a variety of ways, but as he started sucking on the binkie,it felt like I’d made a good call.

So far.

His sucking seemed slightly frustrated butthat might’ve been because he was managing to glare and grumble around thebinkie.

It was hot.

Stroking his cheek, I snuggled him lower inmy lap so he was back in more of a baby position. Ashton huffed around thebinkie but he rested his head on my chest and gave up too quickly. I rewardedhis good behavior by stroking his cheek and making a pleased sound. “I lovewatching you suck on things. I thought your thumb or the quiet toy would be funbut this is almost as good as seeing your lips wrapped around my dick.”

Ashton always felt guilty about yucking onmy yum, so he just sighed and shrugged as he sucked faster.

“Oh, that’s…” I wasn’t sure what wordwould’ve been appropriate, since he was still working on what his headspacelooked like, but I knew he heard happy things in my tone because he giggled. SoI gave him a big sigh and shrugged, too. “I can’t help it. I love everythingabout you but some things are just amazing, baby.”

Him giggling around the binkie was one ofthe sweetest and sexiest things I’d ever heard. And since it was obviously apositive sign, I took the next step in my plan as I stood up, holding himtight. “I’m going to thoroughly enjoy controlling everything tonight, and youdon’t want to know how excited I am for the weekend.”

He managed to groan around the binkie andhide his face against me, but our contract said that wasn’t a safeword either.

“I know you’re going to be a good boy andlet me have fun, though. You need to remember I’m in control and how much Ienjoy that.” Somehow he kept forgetting that, but it was clearly deliberate, soI was going to stop being so fucking subtle.

It was just stupid to try to do that withAshton.

“But for you, that means you don’t have totalk. You don’t have to make decisions. You don’t have to argue with me becauseI’m going to win. Period. From now until you wake up in the morning, I make thedecisions and you’re helpless.” As I set him down on the bed, I looked down athis lap and nodded as I saw the proof of how much he approved of that plan.

It got another huff as he pulled his legsup and rested his head on his knees, but he kept sucking on the binkie as heglared at me, so I knew we were still good.

Drama and erections meant there was nothingto worry about…yet.

Chapter 9

Ashton

He was so fucking sneaky.

How could he be happy when I was sofrustrated?

That was just cheating.

My dick was cheating too.

The only good part was the stupid mouthplug thing that meant I didn’t have to talk. It was even better than the ballgags because I could fiddle with this one and it was more comfortable.
