Page 94 of Hiding From Laughter

Hehehe.

Sawyer squirmed. “We’re not using him as ameasure of what’s normal.”

Pat. Pat. Pat.

“See? Even Ashton agrees with me.” Sawyerpat-patted my head. “Oh. Sorry.”

Happy sounds from Daddy. “Don’t be. Hedidn’t mind. He might not talk in this headspace but he’s very expressive…andcuddly.”

Daddy sighed. “Let the pup escape, baby.”

No.

Cuddles for puppy.

My puppy.

Sawyer puppy.

Sawyer shy puppy?

Tired puppy.

Snuggle the puppy.

Pet the puppy.

Good helper.

Hug…hug…

“So that went fine, right?” Wishing I’dstayed little until we’d gotten out of the club, I tried not to squirm as weheaded toward the front door. He’d taken my diaper off for the ride home and itdidn’t feel right to wiggle without it. “Right? I’m not overthinking that? Or amI underthinking it?”

Should I have been more worried?

Micha raised one eyebrow and gave me hisdon’tbe ridiculouslook. “First of all, what’s the likelihood that I’ll actuallytell you to worry more?”

“Twenty percent tops.” Conner popped out ofnowhere like magic as we got to the main door that led to the foyer. “Andthat’s only if you absolutely have to.”

He could read Micha like a book.

“In this case, I can confidently say hedoesn’t have to worry at all.” Micha seemed to be doing his best not to glareat Conner, but that was probably because he thought Conner might start meworrying again. “We had a good time playing with some friends Micha knewthrough work and there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Oh.” Conner studied both of us with longlooks. “I must’ve missed that part. I just saw you playing and talking, butit’s good to know. Everything alright on that front?”

Unfortunately, he’d aimed that question atme and his firm expression said he wanted an answer or a safeword. “Yes. He’dalready dropped a hint that he wasn’t as vanilla as I’d thought, so it was asurprise but it was fine.”

Him being a pup was a surprise too, but himnot being a pup in the club most of the time was not.

“Very good.” Going back to glancing betweenboth of us, Conner seemed content with my answer. “We do our best to protecteveryone’s privacy and we vet our members as thoroughly as possible. If youhave any issues with a member outside of the club, though, please come right tome. Your safety and comfort are my primary focus.”

So was he a switch?

Caretaker sub of some sort?

Wishing I was as confidently nosy as Micha,I nodded. “We appreciate that, but I don’t think there’s any problem. He’s anice guy at work, and from what I remember of the conversations going on aroundme, he was fine with it tonight.”
