I blew out a breath, thinking.I’d seen something in the DC Kink group on Facebook, but it was usually hit or miss in that crowd.
“Are you on FetLife?”I asked.
He shook his head.“I’m still kinda new.Between studies and Master’s schedule, we haven’t explored as much as we would’ve liked yet.”
Understandable.Life always got in the way of things.
“Are you part of a community?”he asked.
I shook my head.“Never found one that suited me.That’s why a few friends and I are starting our own.”
He perked up.“Really?When?”
I chuckled and rested an elbow on the bartop.“It’ll probably be a year or so before we can accept members.We bought a house that needs to be renovated from top to bottom first.”
“Wait, like—a house for the community?”
I inclined my head.“Three floors of playrooms, club area, and guest rooms.There’s a private forest too, for takedowns and shit.”
“Oh my God.”Judging by the excitement in his eyes, he was impressed.“Do you need any help?Because that sounds fucking incredible.”
I grinned.He was sweet, and I kind of soaked up his excitement.We were gonna need it when renovations started and the money began flying out the window.
“I reckon a sweet subbie like you should keep focusin’ on your studies and your Master,” I replied.“But of course you’re welcome to join once we’re finished.”
He scrunched his nose.“First of all, I’m a switch till the day I die.Second of all, I have way more time than my Owner does.”
A switch till the day he died, huh?Cute.
“I’m Macklin, by the way.”He stuck out his hand and stood a little taller.
“Reese.”I shook his hand.“Aren’t you a little young?”
He knitted his brows together.“I’m twenty-one.I’m also a chef, sort of, and I’m real scrappy.I’ve read a lot about BDSM, and I swear I wanna dedicate my life to this.”
Boy, this wasn’t a job interview.
“And you’re in your first kink dynamic,” I guessed.
He weighed his response.“Kinda, but we’ve been together three years.”
Oh.Hell, that was a lot longer than River and I had ever lasted.I reckoned our top score at the moment was four months, and we’d been out of the country for half that time.
“I’ll tell you what,” I said.“I’m off on a work trip soon, but when I come back, I want you to meet my brother.He and I bought the house together.”
At the end of the day, switch or not, he was his Master’s sub, and it couldn’t hurt to have a sub’s take on things during this journey.So far, we only had Tops on the dominant side.
“Your actual brother?”Macklin pressed.“Either way, I’m so down.Can we exchange numbers?Or are you on Facebook?”

Yeah, so maybe.Maybe, maybe.
Macklin had passed the River test, and West seemed to like the kid too.
