be discreet

It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:

"So... is Alex really a dom?"

Comments

[alicornucopia]

"Oh." Jackson looks away.

[mrmage]

Sadde keeps looking at Jackson.

[alicornucopia]

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

[mrmage]

"Waiting to see if you'll tell me what's wrong of your own volition."

[alicornucopia]

Sigh.

"Master got a new toy and I don't really like it."

[mrmage]

"And... you didn't tell him you don't like it, I presume."

[alicornucopia]

"...Sort of?"

[mrmage]

"Mmhm?"

[alicornucopia]

"I did say I'd rather have the whip..."

[mrmage]

"And he said...?"

[alicornucopia]

"I don't remember..."

[mrmage]

He raises an eyebrow.

[alicornucopia]

"I don't, it was hard to pay attention, he might not have said anything, I don't even know for sure if I was making sense, I might have stuttered or something."

[mrmage]

"What is this new toy?"

[alicornucopia]

"Some electric thing, I didn't get a good look at it," Jackson mumbles. "So I'm fine. Didn't even leave a mark."

[mrmage]

"Okay... And at the risk of sounding like a broken record, why don't you ask him not to use it the next time you two are together, before he uses it?"

[alicornucopia]

"There's not really a good time to do it, it usually all - goes kind of fast?"

[mrmage]

Blink. "Do you not... like... do stuff that's not sex?"

[alicornucopia]

Blink. "What counts as not sex?"

[mrmage]

"Dates, conversation, cuddling, sleeping together, watching a movie, having dinner..."

[alicornucopia]

"Sometimes I sleep over or eat there or there's a movie on."

[mrmage]

"So... don't you like... talk? During those times?"

[alicornucopia]

"...do you mean, do I talk while I'm asleep or with my mouth full or over a movie? I don't think that's normal."

[mrmage]

"I mean, when you're setting the movie up, or between bites like we're doing right now, or before you go to bed, or after you wake up."

[alicornucopia]

"Not much, no."
