Thread: Wandering in the Night [RA and Chanti]

RE Never Alone RA and Chanti There it was. Blaine had been waiting to see a less nervous, more genuine smile from Leah, and he got it. His own smile lingered at that, showing his interest as she sifted through her thoughts to answer. I...I guess the most important thing is to just be patient with me. He listened, knowing it was important, before nodding. I can be patient, Blaine promised. Punishments are a natural part of BDSM, but they don't have to be a thing that either of us dislike. Especially if she was one who liked to be spanked a bit. Thankfully, Blaine's tongue had held off on adding that piece it probably would have scandalized the waiter who had come over with the starting options. Blaine had no interest in the salad, but he did enjoy their bread sticks. Idly taking one into his hands, he broke it up into four smaller pieces. The delivery of food felt like a natural transition into a different topic of conversation, but Leah hesitantly added one other thing for him to know. His eyes flicked up again, curious but intent. Rules specially tailored to his sub was something Blaine definitely liked to do, once he felt they were a good match. But Leah's request was so specific, and so easy to accommodate, that Blaine didn't even need to think about it. Yeah, we can leave a light on, Blaine replied, tone mild. Usually, he noticed that first-time subs liked the opposite - lights completely off until they got used to being naked in front of someone else - but it wasn't something Blaine had come to necessarily expect. The conversation continued as the food continued to come, and Blaine could say he actually enjoyed the dinner. Although he had bought the full bottle of wine, he ended up only sipping a half glass with his meal. Leah was cute, and interesting to talk to. Every now and then he would notice a blush coloring her face, and Blaine quickly decided that he liked that, too. And, as promised, Blaine plucked the bill up from the table immediately, hardly even glancing at it as he slid his credit card into the slot and passed it back to the server. By the time dinner was over, Blaine had made his decision about his next step. Shall we? He stood up from the table, glancing over at Leah as he did so. If he had to guess, he thought things went well for both of them. As they walked to the exit, he deftly slid one of his cards out from his wallet. It was a simple black matte with white text - opposite style of his business cards. On it had his full name and his phone number, and nothing else. Thank you - I enjoyed our meeting tonight. Blaine stepped closer to Leah as he offered the card. Now that they were standing together, he was distinctly aware of their height difference. Their fingers brushed together, and he leaned in closer to murmur to her. I'd like to see you again - give me a call when you're ready to start. And then he kissed her, just a quick peck on the cheek. When he pulled away he was smirking, wondering how confident he could be without crossing the line that led to asshole-ery. I'd look forward to it. Blaine sighed as he stepped into his bedroom, lifting his shirt up and over his head. The rest of the room was large and simple to match the rest of his home high, vaulted ceilings, a kind sized bed, fire place and big screen tv. A patio that led to his outdoor pool. He almost felt small in comparison as he tossed his shirt onto the floor and exchanged his jeans for sweatpants. Then, without giving so much as looking at his cell phone, he settled into bed with the local newspaper and the latest stock numbers for the five hotels he owned. It wasn't until late in the night that he finished familiarizing himself with the numbers, responding to emails from his laptop, and making sure he didn't have any surprise meetings pop up in his calendar. When it was time to go to bed he settled into one side, plunged the room into darkness, and fell asleep quickly.
