Chapter 17

The walk across the yard was perhaps the strangest Tobias had ever had. Noah was looking down, of course, but he was anxious and probably insecure and there really wasn’t any way Tobias could reassure him. Not when he was walking with lead in his feet and confusion clouding his judgment. Later, yes, of course—as soon as he got them both inside and into the safe room.

Up the stairs, and he still hadn’t said anything. In the hallway he pointed to the safe room and said, “I’m going to check the pagers. I’d like you to strip down again so I can take off your harness, and then we’re going to talk, pet. I’ll just be a minute.”

Noah hesitated, but after a moment he managed, “Yes, sir,” and disappeared into the safe room. Tobias could hear him sigh from the hall and then the tell-tale creaks of the harness leather as Noah started to undress.

Tobias shook his head, mostly at himself, and went into the bedroom. He’d put all the pagers on his dresser—his two, Noah’s work pager, and the one he would give Noah Monday morning. They were all lined up, all four of them with blank faces, still and silent. No one needed them, thank God. He suspected that they weren’t good for much at the moment.

And it was his job to fix that.

Standing taller he looked at his reflection in the mirror, studying himself. Serious face, set jaw... consciously, he forced himself to relax. That lessened the tightness around his eyes, made his face more gentle. Still stern, strong... but not angry. He wasn’t angry, not at Noah. Not really; Noah would learn and they would be fine.

He rolled his shoulders once and turned on his heel, going to the safe room in easy strides. He knew what he had to say and what to do to restore the balance; it was time to make a few things plain to his strong-willed sub.

Noah was kneeling in the middle of the room, head bowed and arms back, nicely into his display position.

“Are you all right?” Tobias asked softly. “Physically? There’s no broken skin, and I couldn’t find any damaged muscle, but I’m not in your skin.”

Noah shifted and twisted his back slightly as if to be sure of himself before he answered, “I’m still a bit tender, sir, but I’ll be all right, thank you.” His voice was still soft, however, and seemed lacking a bit of its usual confidence.

“Good.” Tobias went to him and urged him to move a little, carefully unlocking the harness. The cage was lifted away, and Tobias smoothed his fingers along skin where the leather had pressed in. “Okay? I’m going to take out the plug. You’ll feel odd for a bit, I’m sure.”

Noah nodded in answer, and shifted to accommodate Tobias.

The plug was eased out and set aside, and Tobias made sure that the leather hadn’t chafed, that Noah was in as good shape, physically, as could be expected. “All right, then,” he said, standing up.
