Did we have a word for sleep tubs?
Nap vats?
No, that sounded like we were in a horror movie.
I wanted a steamy romcom date…not one in the slasher genre.
Chapter 9
Colby
Before I could get distracted even worse and end up giving myself nightmares, Saint wrapped me tighter and moved us toward the edge of the bed. “Yes. Our bathing rooms have been designed with additional necessary space.”
As he carried me around like I weighed less than a toddler, he waved a few loose limbs. “We require more volume.”
Oh yeah.
“I’m glad they thought about that then.” But thinking about how much space he needed made me realize my own shower would never fit the both of us…and I didn’t even have a bathtub. “It’s okay if we need to shower together instead.”
Saint picked up another bottle of water before turning and heading to a door on the other side of the room. “That will not be necessary, but your consideration is admirable. You do not have to ignore your desire, however.”
He always took what I wanted so seriously and never seemed to think it was ridiculous or unimportant. Part of me worried that I’d take advantage of that without realizing it, but part of me just wanted to revel in how important he thought I was.
It was going to be addicting.
“You have to tell me if what I want isn’t reasonable or practical. Once I get used to how wonderfully you treat me, I might not realize if something I’m asking for isn’t doable.” I thought that was a reasonable way to see things but his whole body twitched.
He was quiet for a few seconds as we walked into the bathroom, but as I got distracted by the over-the-top space, he figured out a response. “No.”
He was going to be a handful.
“That is not how submissives are treated, human mate or not.” His stubborn tone made me think we’d found something he was going to be unreasonable about. “I am to take care of your needs and provide what is called a safe space. Your submission is different than what I would see in our species, but that does not make it any less important.”
So we’d run into some kind of cultural issues?
“You have made me feel very important so far.” Giving him a quick peck as he turned on both taps of the biggest tub I’d ever seen, I slowly stroked over the tentacles I could easily reach. “You’re going to be a wonderful Dom for me.”
Mate?
Something.
He was going to be a wonderful something and we’d figure out what we were later.
That seemed like a future me problem. Current me was going to get in the oversized tub and hopefully see if I could talk my Dom into giving me another orgasm once I’d figured out the best way to make him happy.
Bathtub cuddles and a massage of some sort seemed like the best way to show him how happy he’d made me, but it might take a few sessions to figure out what worked best.
I was all for naked research that would hopefully end in orgasms.
Saint didn’t seem like he’d have a problem with that plan either.
“You are a wonderful submissive human, my Colby.” Running several limbs over me, Saint snuggled me tight as the water filled the tub. “Balancing out your need to actively submit with your emotional and physical availability will be something I consider, however.”
Huh?
My brain rolled that around for a moment as he finally set me down beside the tub and turned me toward the toilet. “Humans must evacuate on a regular basis.”
Go pee.
Got it.
While most of the room was one big open space that was about half the size of the rest of his apartment, the toilet was tucked behind a half wall. It gave just enough privacy to point out that he didn’t have any plans to give me privacy. I wasn’t pee-shy, though, so I pissed as I thought about what he’d said.
That was not a good idea.
“Your urine is not clear enough, my Colby.” Saint automatically steadied me as I jumped and wrapped one small tentacle around my dick, since it probably looked like I had no idea what I was doing. “You will consume more water.”
Fuck.
Yep, privacy wasn’t a thing…and I was going to have to pay more attention to my surroundings.
It was weird but we hadn’t actually reached a limit of mine, so I wasn’t sure what to say. “You’re right. Thank you.”
That worked for now and I’d figure out new limits eventually.
“Humans are fragile.” A now naked Saint patted my head again as he shook my dick. “I will keep you safe and healthy, my Colby.”
“That’s one of the things you guys do with your mates? I mean, the submissive ones?” I’d seen them mentioned in books and he’d made it sound like they were real, but I wanted to make sure. “Keeping them safe and healthy is primary, right?”
