We were going to need a new limits list.
Maybe several.
“We’re definitely going to sit down when we’re both thinking better and walk through several examples of scenes so I can get a handle on how you see this.” Because it still wasn’t clear and him talking more wasn’t going to help. “We’re going to go through a new limits list just for this subject as soon as I can find the right one.”
He started to grumble, but I cut that off with a quick shake of my head as I squeezed his hand. “No.”
Just no.
“You don’t get to put bottles and fucking into the same list and expect me not to have some questions.” There was no sorting method where those two things should’ve ended up in the same categories…and over the past few years, I’d done more lessons on sorting than I could count. I was an expert. “I have questions. I want to put good scenes together for you and I don’t understand the limits currently. We’re going to talk it through.”
Whether he wanted to or not.
“Fine.” Letting out a deep exhale, he frowned like I was being a pain in the ass just to make him nuts. “We’re still getting you food, though, because you’re more confused than you should be. Ugh. Neither of us should be driving.”
“I’m confused about your logic, not confused about life in general.” We definitely needed food and some sleep, though. “But I’m very pleased with how our night went and how the scene went and I liked hanging out with Sawyer and his partners.” When I was done, I waited and raised one eyebrow.
My drama queen slumped and pouted but didn’t drag it out too long. “I need to tell you what I liked too, right? Or you’ll find something else to worry about.”
He just had to tap dance on my patience sometimes.
“Yes.”
I was the best Dom ever for not strangling him when he sighed again.
“Okay. Let me think.” Closing his eyes again, he released my hand and started counting on his fingers as his brain began processing the question. “I liked the biker kind of theme you had going at the beginning. You fuck my throat really well. Good job.”
Lord.
“Thank you.”
Still wasn’t helping my desire to strangle him, though.
“I liked how the bathroom was decorated and not having to worry about cleaning up the mess. Even though you did a good job with the spray thing and I liked losing control. That’s two. No, that’s three.” The way he shifted his fingers around said he had been counting. “Wait. Had that been four?”
Shaking his head as he mumbled something about the bathroom compliment, he decided to figure it out later and kept going on his curious list.
“I liked the way you saved me even though it turns out Cooper doesn’t bite. That was nice and you were really brave.” His definition of bravery was highly flexible. “He’s got big teeth.”
Cooper did not have big teeth.
“That’s five. At least five.” Lifting his head, he turned back to me. “Five is enough to make you feel better, right?”
Deep breath in.
Slow exhale out.
“Okay, maybe you need more.” Ashton frowned, probably because thinking on his feet when he was tired never worked well. “I liked the cookies you brought. I liked the alpha marking his mate thing.”
Head cocking to the other side, he frowned. “Doing that on the fly was probably a good idea. I might’ve overthought that one if we’d actually planned it out. You made good points, though. Authors have really gone vanilla when it comes to shifter sex and alpha omega sex.”
“That omegaverse stuff?” Fuck it. “No. You’re not distracting me with knots and slick.”
The stuff he made me say.
“Not my fault. It’s a logical topic for the discussion.” Shrugging, Ashton didn’t look sorry at all. “You brought up the alphas too. But you seem like you need one more…um…I liked the way you took care of me.”
Leaning over again, he kissed my cheek, aiming to look sweet and talk me down off the ledge he thought I was on. “You always take good care of me. I know it’s because you love me. But I’m kind of a pain in the ass and you still take good care of me. So thank you.”
I would never be able to understand how he made me want to strangle him one second and lap him so I could tell him how much I loved him the next. “I do love you. I even love you when you’re nuts. It makes life fun.”
As he scoffed, I took his lips in a long, slow kiss. Something about the whole thing made him giggle and he pulled back, resting his forehead on mine. “You’re so ridiculous. That’s one of the reasons that I love you. It makes life fun.”
