Kacey moved, but he didn’t want to. River’s lap was perfect, but he figured he’d best do as River asked without being a turd. He figured that was the best way to get back to where he wanted to be.

River stayed on the couch, keeping the space between them. “Repeat back to me what I said about submission so I know you understand.”

Okay. Focus. “You said to think about you, and whether you’re wanting me to do something, and if you don’t or if I don’t know, ask.”

“Pretty good. So the next step is to anticipate. Think ahead about whether you know I’m going to want something or need something and make it happen before I ask. Coffee. Clean sheets. A snack before a meeting. A bath. Knowing those things will come with time, as we develop our routine.”

Oh, was he going to be good at that? He didn’t know. He wasn’t an asshole, though, so maybe he was going to be okay. Basically that was just being decent to the man who was decent to him, right?

“Okay. That’s a lot, hm? Why don’t you go draw me a nice hot bath. Put a towel on the warmer, find my robe.”

“I can do that.” He stood up, whispering “bath, towel, robe, bath, towel, robe” under his breath. He headed to the bathroom and started the water and finagled the towel dealie. Finding the robe was easy—he knew where that was.

River came in a few minutes later and undressed, then slipped into the tub before it was done filling up. He picked up a remote and music came on and the lights dimmed. “After you’ve put my clothes in the hamper, grab your cushion, come back and kneel here with me.”

“You mind if I take my boots off?” His feet were tired.

“You mind if I take my boots off, sir?” River countered, not answering his question.

The urge to point out River’s boots were off already was huge. Tacky, ridiculous, and bitchy, but immediate. He didn’t do it, but it was a temptation and a half. “Do you mind if I take my boots off, sir? My feet are killing me.”

“Be my guest, boy. Do whatever you need to be comfortable.” River shut the water off and relaxed back into the tub. “You’re also welcome to get water if you need it or use the other bathroom, no need to ask. Just get up and go and come back.”

He dumped River’s clothes in the hamper, then wandered off to change into a pair of shorts and a clean T-shirt, suck down a bottle of water, grab two more and his cushion. He didn’t think much, because he was busy remembering not to forget anything, and by the time he got back to the bathroom, he was cooler and more relaxed and just easier in his skin.

“Good boy.”

River didn’t open his eyes as he got settled, and didn’t say anything else for a while, so it was jarring when he did finally speak. “Do you cook at all, boy?”

“Me? God no.
