Chapter Sixteen
Sunday night, Brandon stared at the bed, trying to figure if there was anything he’d forgotten before he started packing. He hated having to check a bag, but being in Indianapolis from early Monday morning until Friday night meant he wouldn’t be able to fit everything into a carryon. He had to go to the corporate offices for annual meetings all the district managers attended. Before now, Emma usually stayed with Tracey.
Now, she’d be there with Stuart and Jeff.
Stuart walked in. “Need any help packing, Master?”
“No, I’ve got it.” He pulled Stuart in for a hug and kissed him. “You two behave while I’m gone.” He smiled. “No masturbating this week. I won’t forbid you from sex, but you have to make each other come. Jeff’s in charge while I’m gone. I want you to be a good boy for him.” He smacked Stuart’s butt through his shorts. “Maybe let him work you up to the next size butt plug.”
Stuart’s DP training was still ongoing, but slower than anticipated, in fits and starts without as much Emma-free time as they’d thought they’d have.
“Yes, Master.” He rested his head against Brandon’s chest. “Is Emma really okay being here with the two of us?”
“Why wouldn’t she be?”
“I just wanted to make sure. I don’t want to do anything to rock the boat.”
“She loves you both. Don’t forget about Wednesday.”
“I already told work I need to leave early. So did Jeff. We’ll film it and be there in case Tracey shows up to start trouble.” He let Brandon go so he could finish packing. “Can I ask something?”
“Of course.”
“Have you noticed Jeff still acts like he’s not feeling good?”
Brandon started to say no when he really thought about it. “Come to think of it, yeah.”
“And he’s been tired a lot lately.”
Shit. “When I get back, we’ll talk to him about it and ask him to schedule a check-up. Pay attention while I’m gone and see how he is.”
* * * *
“Yes, Master.” Stuart was more nervous about Jeff’s health than he was about Emma. Grace had already informed the men that shewouldbe coming over every day to help Emma around the house and to make sure the men were eating good meals while Brandon was gone.
She was almost like a little Domme in training or something.
She’ll make some subby guy happy when she’s older and discovers boys.
Early tomorrow morning, he’d be driving Brandon to the airport and then heading straight to work. He had a key and was now helping his boss train a new electrician they’d hired.
How’d I go from the new guy to being one of the old-timers?
He didn’t know, but it felt damned good.
A family who loved him, a job he was good at and enjoyed, working for a fair and pleasant boss…
Some days he wondered when the other shoe would drop, except going on a year now since the three of them had first met, and life was only getting better.
Monday morning, even though Brandon told Stuart he didn’t have to go in with him, he still walked Brandon into the airport and all the way until they had to say good-bye at the security checkpoint.
Brandon hugged him tightly. “Be a good boy for Jeff while I’m gone, okay? Take good care of him and Emma for me.”
“I will, Sir.”
Monday and Tuesday nights were more than a little lonely without Brandon there between them. Stuart could tell Jeff wasn’t feeling well and didn’t pressure him to do anything, either, even though Monday night Jeff pinned him down to the bed and jacked him off, and then Tuesday night he held Stuart down in a sixty-nine and fucked Stuart’s face, driving him deep into subspace, before sucking a load from him.
Yet it was like Jeff was…putting more of an effort into it than Stuart thought he should.
