“You can call your word if you don’t want to answer something, but you can never lie to me here. I can’t--I can’t do this if there’s any chance you’ll lie.” It’s not until those words are out of his mouth that Jensen realizes he’s willing to do this again, to pay the cost to give Jared this release.
I like the lying part. The paying a price for Jensen- so-so. It doesn't feel manipualtive and pushy and there is sacrifice on both sides of any D/s or S/m relationship but it leaves me thinking maybe Jensen's not getting it so well after all. Looking back at my earlier comments and the story - Jensen got what Jared needed and got why Jared was sexy, but he never got why it was something *JEFF* might need or get from it. Or rather there is but it's not a personal for Jensen.
“And then there’s this voice, like Johnny Cash on a bad day, askin’ ‘Kid? You trying to safe-word, or do you just like it when your master’s pissed off?’"
...I love this story. I think every sub I've ever talked to has one. There's even a lot of doms who will deliberately be obnoxious just to maek sure their sub WILL safe word - not dangerous, just annoying. Because they need to know for their safety the sub will safe word out and not be stubborn and stupid and end up hurt.
“Could you call Jeff for me?” And that’s totally not jealousy that stabs into Jensen's chest. “You know, since he’s probably still waiting outside in his car.”
Say it with me: I LOVE JEFF.
he collar’s off. It’s more than a game, it’s more than a favor to a friend. Jared knows that; he has to.
I like this.
Over all the story's really amazingly good and well done. I'd like to see more of Jensen understanding the appeal, getting it and why it' good for him. I wouldn't expect him to really in a first time encounter though so it works. If you were doing something in an established relationship or wrote a follow up to this though, it'd be good if this wasn't something he was doing FOR Jared but something he was doing with him. It's harder to get what the Dom gets out of these things but honestly it's about the same as the sub. Part of it's care-taking but part of it's an endorphine release and sexual appeal and just plain satisfaction and needing to be moved outside of *themselves*. It just manifests a little differently.
And I'm babbling. A lot Thanks for linking me to this. it was a great read, and a really damn good job handling a lot of complexities and things that could have been potentially awkward.
