Dennis looked from Robby to Jack, then Jack to Robby again, and frowned. "What happened?"
"Hey, Dennis," Jack replied. "You're back."
Dennis nodded, still looking back and forth between them. "Yeah. I needed a minute."
"You doing ok?"
He shrugged. "Are you? You look upset."
"We're fine," Robby said gruffly.
"Ok, sure, well, um. I'm back, and it's my turn."
"What?"
"I want to keep playing."
"Ok…"
"Robby," Dennis turned to him, looking into his eyes with determination. "Tell me what it means to you when you collar me or I call you Daddy."
"Jesus, Dennis," Robby startled.
Jack cringed. "You heard us talking, didn't you?"
"Yup."
"Robby, he's got a right to know."
Dennis in the chair next to Robby's and turned to him, speaking earnestly. "I've never done this stuff before. I guess you have? But Jack's right. I don't know what you think of me for doing it. For letting you do that to me," Dennis paused, drawing himself up, fighting to make himself say the next part. "Do you think I'm disgusting? Do you think I'm weird, or there's something wrong with me? And if you do, why do you like it? Why do you keep doing it? Just explain it. Make me understand." Dennis gripped the table as his voice almost cracked from the frustration as he spoke.
Robby took a deep breath and reached over to pick up Dennis's hand. "I can answer this. I've thought about it. Clearly, it turns me on. So if you're weird, I am, too. It's deeper than that. I like how you'll be vulnerable with me. It feels like you trust me, and it feels good to be trusted like that. I can be what you need." He looked into Dennis's eyes and gave hand a squeeze. "Now the part that I really don't want to talk about. Ok. I know you've shared some stuff about yourself that feels humiliating… I want to reciprocate. Look, I'm 53, I'm stressed out, I'm tired, I've got high cholesterol, I'm prediabetic. What I'm saying is, I'm not very healthy. You know what happened the first night we spent together. That was embarrassing."
Dennis looked at him blankly. "What are you talking about?"
"Fuck, do I have to say this?" Robby rubbed his eyes. "You are so fucking sexy, it makes me stupid, but I don't know if my dick's going to get hard. I fucking love this weird shit we do because it doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong, fucking is great, but this is, too. I get you collared, and you get so worked up. I know I can make you go out of your mind. And you do that non-verbal thing when you're a pup so we don't ever had to talk about it and have painfully awkward conversations like we are having right now. Ok. There. I like it. That's why."
"Oh," Dennis said breathlessly. "I never thought about it like that." He got up slowly and eased into Robby's lap. "Thank you for telling me, Daddy. It means a lot that you trusted me with that."
"Dennis," Robby said roughly, pulling him in closer. "Fuck, I don't deserve you."
Jack cleared his throat. "None of that talk, Robby."
Robby looked over Dennis's shoulder and locked eyes with Jack. "I guess it's my turn now. Jack, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"We're talking about everything, so talk to me about this stuff you do. Giving me orders."
Jack leaned back. "It's exhilarating that you let me talk to you like that. You give me that control. Robby, you mean so much to me. Sometimes, I just want to hold you down and make you… be good to yourself."
Robby looked at him darkly. "You like the control."
"Yeah, I like the control. Nothing wrong with that."
Robby paused over his next question before setting his jaw and asking. "Did you ever do that with Liz?"
Jack exhaled slowly. "Nope. Never got the sense it was what she needed. We had really vanilla sex. Really vanilla, really good."
"Have you ever done this stuff before?"
"A little, before her, but you knew me then. Dennis, you just saw that stupid fucking picture. You think anyone was taking me seriously when I was younger?" Jack said with a laugh. "Honestly, Robby, when I started doing that to you, I wasn't really thinking. It was just instinct, and, my God, you responded so beautifully. Like you just loved it. Like you needed it. And I wanted to do it more. Yeah, I got horny doing it. So you should tell me — if we're gonna be involved, if we're gonna fuck, do you want me to dominate? And what are your limits? You have to tell me what you don't want. I don't want to be the asshole and go too far."
Robby absently ran his fingertips up and down Dennis's lowback, and Dennis buried his face in the crook of Robby's neck. "It's good we're talking about it. Yeah, I want to do it in bed. It just makes me get kind of fuzzy. I don't know how to describe it. It's good. Get me out of my head. Limits — ok. Not sure."
"So I can boss you around?"
"Sure."
"Can I tell you what to do to Dennis?"
"Absolutely. Jesus, Jack. Yes."
Dennis gave him a thumbs up without letting up from the little kisses he was leaving on Robby's neck.
"Can I punish you?"
"Please fucking do. I have no doubt I deserve it." Jack frowned at that, but didn't comment. "Can I praise you?"
"I guess," Robby shrugged uncomfortably.
Jack's eyes gleamed when he asked his final question. "Can I degrade you?"
Robby opened his mouth, and closed it, and the room was silent until Dennis giggled. "Hush, you," Robby mumbled.
"What's that?" asked Jack.
"He might not be sure, but I think his dick is," Dennis said.
"Cheeky boy," Robby said, giving his ass a little slap.
"That one's tricky… I'll do it, but I'm worried I could pull you out of the moment if I say the wrong thing. Do you know what you want?"
Robby shook his head. "I don't even understand why I react to that."
"Maybe if you hear me talking about what you don't like about yourself, what you're scared of… But then after it's over, I'm showing you that I'm not leaving because of any of that… Maybe that's why it feels exciting," Jack said tenderly, and then he smiled at Dennis. "We're not leaving. You're flawed and fucked up, but you can trust us to be there for you."
