Did every serious relationship have this problem?
I wasn’t sure if I’d just never met the right person before or if everything about Emerson was unique.
Before I could figure out an answer, Emerson perked up and gave me a big grin. “That’s wonderful, Owner. Taking care of each other should be our top priority.”
That could’ve meant a thousand different things to Emerson, so I just gave him a kiss and nodded. “I agree.”
Still wearing a grin with his eyes sparkling, he kissed my cheek. “And to start that you need to clean up your doll. He’s very messy. Then I’m going to make sure you get a snack. You’re hungry.”
Was I?
I must’ve looked confused because he glanced down at my stomach. “It’s growling, Owner.”
Hmm.
It was.
“Thank you, pretty one.” So maybe having someone to look after me wouldn’t be such a bad idea after all.
But at least I hadn’t gotten distracted thinking about work.
Chapter 21
Emerson
“So you’re a doll?” Lane’s head cocked and he took another long sip of his drink like the bright color would help his brain work faster. “And that’s…erotic?”
Of course it was.
Hadn’t his Barbies ever had sex?
Oh, maybe he hadn’t played with dolls?
That would be sad.
“Didn’t you let your dolls have sex?” Kenton asked the important question as Ian studied him just as curiously.
I was glad I had such smart friends.
They’d immediately known how terrible the situation was. How had Lane let his dolls be so sad? What had he been thinking?
Lane blinked, looking down at his drink and then back and forth between me and Kenton. “No. Was I supposed to? No one told me.”
Clearly, he’d needed better friends.
“They get horny too.” He’d denied them a very special connection. That was so sad. “You don’t want them to be lonely. The physical side of a relationship is very important. Barbie might not have understood how much GI Joe loved her if they didn’t have sex.”
Shaking his head like there were bubbles in it, he frowned, looking very sad. “I didn’t know.”
Then it was really good he had us in his life.
We were teaching him so many wonderful things.
“But I still don’t understand.” Lane was confused enough about something that he actually set his cup down. No fruity drink meant he was very serious about whatever the problem was. “It’s…you know…it turns you on?”
Barbie having sex with GI Joe?
Did he mean Ken having sex with GI Joe?
Oh, maybe he meant GI Joe with HeMan?
They all turned to look at me because they knew I was going to tell Lane how wonderful love was no matter how the couple looked. But Kenton distracted us first as he leaned against Ian’s coffee table, pushing at the pizza box. “I have a question first. He’s your Owner not your Master because…because you’re a doll. Right?”
Hadn’t I already explained that?
“Yes.” Having an Owner was much better than having a Master. Didn’t they know? “He owns me. So he’s Owner.”
That should’ve been obvious, but maybe they’d had too much to drink?
It was hard to tell, so I tried to explain carefully. “Owner takes good care of me even if he wants to go slow.”
Going slow was so hard and everyone knew it, even Ian reached over and patted my hand. “That’s very sad. I’m sorry.”
I had such wonderful friends.
“Thank you.” Taking a deep breath, I tried not to pout. “But I’m working very hard at being patient and making sure my Owner gets to know all about his doll.”
But taking care of Owner without living with him was difficult. I couldn’t even make sure he ate every meal.
Oh, meals.
“I have to tell him…” Where had my phone gone? Standing up, well, almost up, I balanced on my knees and looked around. “Do you know where I left my phone? I have to make sure Owner eats. He’s creative.”
“Oh, that’s hard too.” Kenton gave my head a pat and sighed. “I’m glad you’re taking good care of him.”
Lane didn’t seem to understand anything tonight because he frowned. “Creative? Wait. Don’t distract me. I still don’t understand about the doll thing.”
Probably because keeping after his creative Dom was exhausting. It just didn’t leave a lot of time for thinking unless a sub was as devoted as I was.
Ian decided it was time for him to be helpful. “Because he gets to get dressed up and Emerson said standing still is sexy.”
It really was.
And I got to be so pretty.
Costumes were sexy.
Lane was back to looking all confused. “I don’t understand.”
He didn’t understand why costumes were sexy?
Kenton looked at me and shrugged. “You’ll have to show him. Some people learn by doing stuff. There’s a word. It means learning by doing.”
Hmm.
“You’re probably right.” It would be rude to leave Lane confused even if I didn’t have any costumes. “I’m very polite. I have to help him.”
Besides, naked was fun too.
