yeah, we’ve been together for twenty.”
“Damn,” I said.
Aaron shot me a pointed look. “And no, we don’t need to discuss how old you were when we met.”
Will snickered. So did I. Aaron eyed him, and Will tried—sort of—to look innocent. Aaron just rolled his eyes and took a drink.
Putting his glass down on a coaster, he huffed. “Anyway. I don’t think we’re here to talk about who’s older and who was taking the LSAT while the other was still high school.” He cut his eyes toward Will, who wasn’t even trying to hide his amusement now.
I loved it. They were so comfortable together. So easygoing. I had no doubt Will could put Aaron on his knees with nothing more than a look, but they still bantered playfully. Aaron could snark at him and roll his eyes when it was obviously in good fun. This was a pair who had their boundaries and power dynamic well-established, and I envied them. I wanted to sit here all night and ask them about their lives—not to mention their life together—and their jobs and everything they’d done in twenty years as a couple. I wanted to listen to them banter and joke like only a couple this comfortable with each other could do.
I couldn’t even imagine that. I’d never been able to pull off a relationship with anyone for more than a few months. These guys had spent like half their lives together. That was mind-blowing to me. What I wouldn’t have given for a Dom like Will with whom I could be as relaxed and comfortable as Aaron.
Someday.
For tonight, we were here to feel each other out and figure out if there was enough chemistry and compatibility to play together,
“So.” I cleared my throat. “Getting back to why we’re here…”
They exchanged glances. Then the grin that formed on Will’s lips, coupled with the wicked way his eyes narrowed, sent a shiver up my spine.
“Good idea,” he said in a low, sultry voice. “Let’s talk about that.”

Will
Aaron and I exchanged glances, and we both grinned. Kelly wanted to cut right to the chase? Oh, I liked that. For one thing, I could easily let the conversation wander in fifty different directions until it was suddenly midnight and we’d forgotten to talk about kink.
For another? What could I say: the man sitting beside Aaron on our couch was hot. He was narrower in the shoulders than me or Aaron, built leaner and finer. Maybe I was just in an exceptionally horny mood given the reason we were meeting him tonight, but I couldn’t help imagining those slim lips and long fingers around my cock or Aaron’s, or my fingers grabbing hold of that light brown hair. If everything worked out this evening, I might get to see what those rich, dark eyes looked like gazing up at me as he knelt at my feet.
Judging by the way he moved and his mannerisms, as well as the way he spoke, he struck me as flamboyant, though I had a feeling he was reining himself in a bit since he was meeting us for the first time. I wished I knew him well enough to tell him to just let that flag fly—I loved when men had the confidence to unapologetically be who they were. Maybe as he became more comfortable with us, he’d come out of his shell.
“So from your ad…” Kelly cleared his throat. Then he sipped his water and tried again. “You want a sadist who’s also a submissive?”
“We do,” I said. “Aaron is a masochist, but… Well, the best way to describe it is that I’m a service top, not a sadist, and the sadistic side I do have isn’t quite enough for what he needs.” Damn, it was painful to admit that out loud.
Kelly swallowed, absently tapping his fingers on the side of his glass as if he needed to expend some nervous energy. “Oh really?”
“I like a lot of pain,” Aaron said. “But I don’t want to push Will beyond his limits.” He glanced at me, something hot gleaming in his eyes, before he turned to Kelly. “Which is where you might come in.”
Kelly shifted in his seat. “And you want a sub? Not another Dom?”
Aaron and I looked at each other, then at Kelly, and I said, “We’ve tried playing with other Doms, but it just doesn’t work.”
There were more questions in his eyes, and he was probably curious about exactly why bringing in another Dom didn’t work for us.
