Page 52 of Finding His Happiness
I’d done it very well.
Yes.
“What do you need right now? You’ve taken very good care of me and now it’s your turn.” He made another silent order to take a deep breath, so I followed his order even though I was technically breathing. “This is me needing to learn how to take care of you, so it would make me very happy to get clear communication.”
He needed information.
I could do that.
Communication was important.
“I...I think I need to get clean.” I couldn’t look down at my chest because I wasn’t sure what would happen if I did.
I really didn’t like not knowing.
“That’s good information. Thank you.” Sitting up, Master did his deep breath motion again. Following it was becoming second nature but it made him happy so that was okay. “Can I touch you to give you a hug?”
Oh.
I hated that conversation.
“I’m fine.” Yes. That was always a good answer.
“Boy?” Master’s voice went lower and sounded sterner than he’d ever used before. “Try again, and this time include the truth in your answer.”
Shoot.
I.
“Close your eyes.” The simple order was easier to follow than answering the touch question. “Good boy.”
“Thank you.” Manners. That had to make him happy too.
“I will not get upset at you if you tell me you don’t want to be touched at the moment.” Master sounded very certain of that fact, so it was entirely possible it was another Dom versus regular person difference. “There are a variety of reasons you might need physical or mental space. Do you want to tell me what you need or do you want me to list off options?”
Options?
I felt myself jerk but he must’ve seen it too because he kept going without my having to prompt him.
“Do you want to get a shower alone or with company? I will not touch you unless you ask for my touch.”
A shower.
“I would like a shower.” What else could I tell him? He needed communication. “I’m neutral on sharing the space.”
“Good boy. That was very clear.” His tone softened enough to make me want to relax with him. “Do you like warm water or hot water?”
Oh.
“Hot.” That was easy. “Barely warm in the morning.”
Yes, he might need to know that.
“That’s good information. Thank you.” He took another loud breath, reminding me to mimic him again. “I’m very proud of you.”
“Thank you.” He wasn’t upset. “I...I enjoyed kissing you and being kissed. That was green. I was green in that moment and will do it again as a reward.”
Starting might’ve been difficult but once we were past that point I’d done well at it.
