Shane could feel his hand subconsciously move lower, wanting to tighten his fingers on Dusk’s ass. He swallowed hard and bit his lip. He was so ready. Before he could stop it from happening, the tip of Shane’s cock had popped out of his jeans. The move did not go unnoticed by Dusk.
A gasp of surprise whispered from his parted lips as his hand trailed down over his tip. He couldn’t believe his submissive was acting so boldly. Before Dusk could wrap his hand around his cock, Shane stopped his fingers from going any further.
“Not yet.”
“Please.”
It was getting more and more difficult to shake off his advances as he felt the buzz of sexual energy pumping through his blood. Shane had to do something—anything to keep his submissive at bay. He was still gaining strength and muscle slowly. He was not ready to be taken.
“Tell me what your fantasies are,” Shane said.
The question seemed to surprise Dusk as he nervously fidgeted with the edge of Shane’s shirt. “I like the idea of somebody taking complete control of me. I like the idea of someone picking me up in a bar and taking me home for a one-night stand.”
“Anything else?”
“I want someone to bring me to my knees and make me beg for it.”
It was everything Shane needed to hear. He thought if he distracted his submissive by asking him a question, he’s able to handle what Dusk had to say. He was so very wrong. Now, how was he supposed to handle what was happening between them—all the while knowing he shouldn’t let it happen.
With his heart hammering roughly, Shane gave in to his desires, pulling Dusk up over his chest and kissing him passionately. Their mouths connected in a white-hot heat that made Shane want to come hard and fast. He felt his submissive stroke his cock against his and it was over. Shane reach down, gripping Dusk’s prick, thumbing the tip in a seductive rocking motion.
It was all his submissive needed to let go. Dusk was shaking hard as he let his juice fly from the tip of his cockhead over his abs.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come so fast.”
“You’re healing. It’s going to be like this until you’re ready to handle what I have to give you. I’m okay with that.”
Despite being ready to go, Shane was not about to let his submissive have any more tonight. The movie was long ago over and it was time to get in bed. Shane led his submissive upstairs to the master bedroom and tucked him in.
“I want you to stay in here with me tonight.”
“That’s not a good idea.”
“I promise I’ll be on my best behavior, Sir.”
“I know you won’t be. I’ll see you in the morning. We’ll drive together into work, deal?”
“Deal.”
As Shane walked away from his submissive he realized he wasn’t going to be able to hold back for much longer. He went to the privacy of his bedroom and like the night before, he locked the bedroom door. He couldn’t risk having his submissive find him like this. He went to the bathroom and unzipped his fly. He stood in front of the mirror looking at his dick.
Shane reached above his head and took off his shirt and slipped his jeans from his legs. When he was completely naked, he started to stroke his dick. He didn’t stop stroking until he came long and hard.
* * * *
Dusk was determined to get back to his life. Despite that, he needed to do everything in his power to regain his strength. Until Shane saw him as ready they wouldn’t be doing anything in the bedroom. That should have pissed him off but it didn’t. It gave him focus and a desire to get ready for his Dom. He wanted to please his Dom in every way imaginable so he stopped silently begging for sex. He kept the relationship as professional—always.
As they went to the Training Center together, Dusk treated him like any other co-worker. It was clear Shane saw the distance in his eyes but he was playing along with it. He got into the mix of the training with the other recruits. His goal was to get on the SWAT team and to do that Dusk had to be physically capable. His training started with ground fighting.
At the front of the room, TJ was teaching. Shane stood in the back watching. Halfway through the class, he got a phone call and stepped out into the hallway. Dusk was desperate to know what the call was all about but Dusk kept his mind focused on the training going on in front of him.
One after another, TJ worked the recruits and then paired them off to work together. It wasn’t long before Dusk realized he didn’t have a partner.
TJ crossed the mats to stand in front of him. “I’m working with you. Chief’s orders.”
“Everyone’s afraid I’m going to break.”
TJ smiled. “Well, I guess you’ll have to prove all of us wrong. Don’t hold back.”
TJ’s words had his eyes going to the man in the hallway.
“I see. You’re trying to prove something to him, aren’t you?”
“Is it that obvious?”
“A little bit. You know he blames himself for what happened to you that day.”
“I know and he shouldn’t. It’s what’s holding him back from seeing me as capable.”
“Give him time…the same time you’re giving yourself. You both need to heal.”
TJ was right. As they began working, Dusk sensed he was holding back but he wanted him to get down the technique if anything.
When he took him to the mat, TJ quickly moved his foot pinning him to show Dusk that he wasn’t strong enough.
“Good you’re getting it.”
Frustration zipped through his mind. He hated how easily he was bested. TJ jumped up off of him and offered his hand. Reluctantly, Dusk took it. He could use all the help he could get.
They worked for another two hours before they broke for the day. Truthfully, he wasn’t sure he could have done another two hours. He went to the locker room and changed, heading for the shower. Dusk stepped in and let the heat move down over his arms and shoulders. He thought of the man he so desperately wanted but he knew he wouldn’t have any time soon.
Just the mere thought of Shane taking control of him made his dick harden with heat. That thought had his hands moving down over his prick. He jerked his hand several times, up and down. He bit his lip, trying to stifle a moan that wanted to come out. He wanted his Dom to tell him to stop—to save it for later.
He wanted Shane to take control of him but that wouldn’t be happening soon enough. Dusk was tired of masturbating to get that much-needed edge off. It was all he had right now though. Still, he wanted to start holding out longer. That had him taking himself closer and closer to the edge and backing off.
With that thought, he decided not to go to orgasm. Even if it gave him the worst case of blue balls, he was going to take it like a badge of honor. He was going to prove to his Dom that he could hold out and not come with a flick of his words or hand.
Dusk shut off the water and toweled off, trying to ignore the fact that he still had a stiffy hanging heavily between his legs. He dressed quickly in a pair of clean tactical pants and t-shirt and headed up to his office. As he did, he stopped by the kitchen to make a protein shake. He needed to refuel after the workout he had gone through.
When he opened the door to his office, he saw Shane behind his desk quickly moving files around. “What’s going on?”
“I need to go. We have a lead on the case.”
“Can I go with you?”
“No. You need to stay here.”
The order shot out, giving Dusk no room for argument. What was he going to do? How was he going to handle the situation? Instead he stood back, letting his Dom go into the field without him. He was even without his K9 partner, since Colt was out working with Officer Rolland. That burned more than he wanted to admit.
With resentment brewing too close to the surface, he went to find Chief Rask to give him a piece of his mind for holding him back inside and outside the field. As he went toward the elevator, he got light-headed and had to lean against the wall. He thought of what he was trying to do and
realized he was not ready to be in the field. Everyone was looking out for him. He should have been grateful, but he wasn’t. He was worried he would never be the officer he once was. What if no one saw him that way ever again?
Instead of going to find the chief, Dusk went back to his office and got to work. There were things he needed to catch up on, like two years’ worth of e-mails. Most of it was junk but some of it was department memos about changes in policy he needed to know.
As Dusk moved through the e-mails, he caught sight of one from an old flame he hadn’t heard from in months. He moved the cursor over the e-mail, trying to decide whether or not to click on it, instead he trashed it. He didn’t need this type of distraction right now. It was shift change when Shane returned looking for him.
“How did it go?” Dusk asked.
“We got our guy.”
“Sounds good.”
When he looked at his Dom, he couldn’t help but feel himself melt. He wanted to drop down in front of him and have his Dom run his fingers through his hair as he gave him the order to suck.
As Shane sat down behind his desk, he did a double take. Dusk did not have a good poker face. His want was obviously written all over his face. He wasn’t a good poker player at all.
“Don’t look at me that way.”
Dusk’s heart started to hammer. “Like what?”
“You know how you’re looking at me and it needs to stop.”
“Why? Are you afraid someone’s going to see us? We’re alone.”
A little growl sounded beneath Shane’s parted lips. “Careful now.”
“Why? What are you going to do?”
Feeling his heart start to race out of his chest, Dusk was dancing on a fine line. He could get into big trouble with his Dom.
“I thought you told me my submissive training was supposed to start.”
“It is and it’s starting now.”
“I’m ready for it.”
“Rule number one. Do not look at me that way and were alone at work.”
“What happens if I break the rules, Sir?”
“You’ll need to be punished.”
A shiver raced down his spine as he thought about his Dom taking control and punishing him. He wanted to be punished by this man. He wanted to be spanked and brought to the tip of torture before he was dangled over the edge and brought back in. Would his Dom give him what he wanted or was he just toying with him?
“Any other rules I should know about, Sir?”
“Yes. You need to learn to obey me in all situations at all times without question. Are you able to do that?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Good. Now get your things. We’re leaving.”
When Dusk opened his mouth and started to protest with a question, Shane gave him a hard look of warning. He just promised to obey without question and here he was breaking the rules. Shane waited as Dusk gathered his things.
As they went down the hallway, they caught sight of Colt with his handler. “Do you mind if Colt comes home with me tonight?”
“Chief Rask wanted him to ride with me until you were up to having him again.”
Disappointment raced through Dusk before he could stop it from happening. “Sure.”
Shane blocked his pathway as Colt went down the corridor with his handler. “You okay with this?”
“I think it’s the best thing for Colt. This way he won’t have to jump between houses.”
“I was thinking the same thing.” Shane stopped him with a hand on his arm. “I know this bothers you but you’ll get him back.”
“I know.”
When they were alone in the car, Dusk stared out the window unable to meet Shane’s gaze. Sitting there in the dark made him think about the moment right before he was injured.
“Don’t go there.”
Dusk looked at his Dom. “I’m trying not to.”
“Good.”
As Shane drove away from District Two, Dusk realized they weren’t going home. “Where we going?”
“Someplace I think you need to go tonight. I think we need to get out for a little bit, considering it’s Friday night and we both have the weekend off.”
The days had gone by so quickly. He couldn’t believe it was already Friday and they had the weekend to spend together. Still, he wanted to know where they were going but he knew better than to ask again. Thirty minutes later the car pulled to a stop outside of a house in the suburbs, away from the city.
“Where are we?”
“This is my brother’s place. We’re having dinner here tonight.”
Nervous energy pumped through Dusk when he realized what was going on. “I can’t do this. I can’t meet your family like this.”
“Yes, you can. They’re dying to meet you. I told them all about you and what was going on.”
Chapter Four
Shane was taking a risk by bringing his submissive here to meet his family. He needed to get his submissive prepared for entering fully into his life. “Just stay at my side. Everything will be okay.”
As he got out of the car, Shane waited by the passenger side for Dusk to get out. He was relieved when he did so. For a split second, he suspected Dusk was going to lock himself in the car.
“If you want to be a part of my life, you have to meet my family.”
“I’m just not used to having a family.”
“I know. That’s why I need you here with me tonight.”
As they headed up the sidewalk, he could see Dusk nervously fidget at his side. “You have nothing to worry about. I promise.”
Shane reached for the door and opened it. Laughter echoed from deep within the house.
“You made it!”
“We did. Sarah this is my partner, Dusk.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“Same.”
“Well, don’t be shy. You guys have good timing. Dinner is ready.”
As they passed through the hallway, Shane gave him an easy reassuring smile. “See, I told you this was going to be painless. You have nothing to worry about.”
He smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes. “I’ll trust you. I promise, Sir.”
“Good that’s what I want to hear.”
Sarah made introductions around the room. “Everyone, this is Shane’s partner we’ve heard so much about. His name’s Dusk. This is my mom and dad, Judith and Ryland. Our older brother, Sam, and his wife Tiffany.”
“What’s the occasion?”
“It’s my birthday.”
Surprise lingered within his beautiful eyes as he came in close, taking his hand and bringing it up to his lips. Shane gave him a sweet, unhurried kiss on his knuckles. An endearing blush moved over his cheeks. It took everything in Shane’s power not to close the distance between them.
Even though his family was around, watching him and celebrating with him, now was not the time to bring his submissive closer to the edge. Maybe if he was lucky tonight, it would finally happen. When the party was over, Shane drove back to his house but they lingered in the car when he parked it.
“So? What happens now?”
“I guess that’s up to you.”
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell anyone at work that it was your birthday.”
“I was hoping that we could celebrate later. When we were alone.”
“I would like to give you a birthday gift.”
“You still can.”
He lingered on his words. “You’re not going to hurt me.”
“I’m probably making a mistake by giving in to you.”
“This isn’t one worth making?”
Shane was losing himself in the situation. Without thinking, he reached over and pulled his submissive across the seat into his lap. He kissed him hard and passionately, stealing his breath away. Shane flicked his tongue, probing it deep inside Dusk’s mouth, loving the feel of his tongue flexing against his.
Shane let his free hand slide down Dusk’s chest, gripping his hard dick. He rubbed his
palm over his fly, feeling the hard edge of his cock.
“I didn’t want our first time to be in a car, sub.”
“Then take me inside, Sir.”
A heavy sigh escape Shane’s lips as he thought about what he needed to do. “We need to take this back to my place.” Confusion swam through his sub’s eyes. “I kept my place despite taking care of yours. I go back once a week to check on things. Let’s go before it gets too late and I change my mind.”
As Shane drove across town, he knew he was rushing things. He should put the brakes on things but he couldn’t. Too much time had gone by already. He wondered if they would have gotten together that night Dusk was shot or would they still be together now?
Shane usually didn’t take a submissive on for a long period of time. A year was his longest time ever. The thought of losing this man again was too much for him to bear. He didn’t want to focus on that now or the implications of what it meant. He was going to take him to his playroom before he changed his mind.
“You’re the first person I’ve ever had from work come to my house.”
“Seriously?”
“I usually don’t date anybody I work with. You’re the first.”
“I guess that makes me special huh?”
“I think it does.”
Tempted to start kissing his sub again inside the car, he leaned across the seat, wrapping his hand around the back of his neck, giving him a passionate kiss.
* * * *
Dusk followed his lover into his house, loving the fact that he was being led practically by the dick. It didn’t matter as long as he had his Dom taking him and tying him down to the bed.
As Shane opened the front door, Dusk became very aware of how quiet the house was. They were finally truly alone. Shane didn’t bother turning on the light in the foyer as he shut the door behind him. He turned suddenly, pinning Dusk up against the door as he kissed him hard, taking control.
Dusk loved the way he took control of him.
