Caged Sanctuary (19 page)

After the increased teasing since the previous day, the plug all through dinner, and everything that had been done to and for Kade that evening, he couldn’t have stopped himself from releasing right then if his very soul had depended on it. Lightening and fire raced through him, down his spine and out his cock in a blinding series of pulses and shouts. All he could manage to focus on, outside his own bliss, was the thick spend from Jake that filled his throat and mouth as Jake joined him in his euphoric state. He heard Deacon roar out his release, as well as Sam, but it was as if from a distance. His entire world condensed down to his orgasm, the cock quickly deflating above him, and the white cloud that enveloped his mind.

Eventually Jake was helped down and the ropes were removed from them both, though Kade couldn’t seem to do more than note it happening. Deacon carried him to the bed and laid him down on his stomach, Jake beside him, before the two Doms poured oil on their backs, working it into the skin as they massaged their respective subs.

When Kade finally came down from the ecstasy of their joint scene, he realized he was on his side facing Jake, with Deacon spooned around him and Sam around Jake. Oddly, Sam was watching Kade, a small smile on his handsome face. One large, rough hand rose from Jake’s hip to caress Kade’s cheek. “Thank you for making Jake so happy, Kade. And thank you,” Sam continued, gaze rising to look past Kade, “for sharing your boy with me. He’s everything you and Jake said he was.”

The deep chuckle against Kade’s back made him smile. “Mmm…. That he is, Sam. Not that yours isn’t just as skilled and wonderful, though I think I’ll keep my boy.”

Jake’s eyes opened, and he smiled sweetly at Kade, twining his fingers with Kade’s. “If it’s okay with our Sirs, would you be interested in playing like this again? Not now,” Jake added quickly, “but once in a while?”

Kade thought that over, neither Dom saying a word as they waited for Kade’s answer. After a moment, he nodded and smiled at his friend. “I wouldn’t mind being with either of you again, as long as it won’t hurt our friendship and relationships. I mean, I like you and Sam—well, I’m coming to like him at least—but I don’t want to belong to anyone but Deacon.”

“Agreed,” Jake said, squeezing Kade’s fingers again. “Sam?”

“If this is something you both want, then I’m all for it. You know you have my heart, pet, so sharing you like this, with our friends, is good with me. And Kade,” Sam added, peering down at Kade again, “I definitely want to play with you more, with Deacon’s permission and participation, of course.”

Deacon rolled his hips against Kade’s butt, rubbing his half-hard cock against Kade’s crack. “You okay with that, boy? I know you were worried about Sam being part of our scene earlier.”

He shook his head, pressing back against Deacon. “I was afraid I would disappoint him and you.”

“You didn’t disappoint anyone here, Kade,” Sam interjected. “I understand it can be scary to sub with a stranger, even more so if you’re afraid of messing up your relationship with Deacon, but I assure you, you did wonderfully.”

“You were beautiful, boy, and felt so good,” Deacon added, his voice rumbling against Kade’s ear.

“And you know I loved every minute of it, hon,” Jake added.

They quieted for a bit while Kade’s thoughts ran and tumbled in circles. Sam wanted to play with him again? Jake had enjoyed everything? Deacon was pleased and sounded proud of Kade as he had praised and petted him earlier…. That was the part that amazed Kade the most; Deacon was proud of him and pleased with his service.

Not releasing Jake’s fingers, Kade leaned back, shifting so he could look up at Deacon. “Sir?”

“Yes, boy.”

“Will it please you to see me with Jake and Sam occasionally?”

Deacon cupped Kade’s cheek with one hand and smiled. He pressed a light kiss to Kade’s forehead before answering. “I believe we would all enjoy a group scene with you here and there. But,” Deacon added, his face going serious again, “only if you are comfortable. As I told you before, my job is to care for, protect, and guide you, and that means not pushing you to do things that will hurt you. Not the bad kind of hurt at least,” he added with a grin.

Kade laughed, happy and content. Neither emotion had been expected when he’d agreed to serve Sam and sub with Jake. “I think I would, Sir. I… liked how things happened tonight. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, love. Now, why don’t we all get some rest? Sam, you and Jake are welcome to stay here in the playroom or in one of the guestrooms.” Deacon reached over to Jake, carding his fingers through Jake’s damp hair. “And thank you, Jake, for making my boy so happy. I’m very happy Sam found you.”

A short time later, Kade lay contentedly in Deacon’s arms, cage back in place, in the big bed in Deacon’s bedroom. Sam and Jake had moved to one of the guestrooms after giving Kade a brief kiss. As Kade relaxed and sank into Deacon’s warmth and comfort, the fact he had now served two Doms, and made them both happy, sank in. The last thought before drifting asleep was one of hope and joy, for a future with Deacon.

Deacon woke him twice during the night, once with his mouth and his cage gone, and the other when he flipped Kade over and filled him, leaving the cage on as he murmured words of desire and praise. Honestly, Kade could not figure out which he liked better.

awoke the next morning, he was pleased to find Deacon still resting beside him. He took a moment to soak in the feelings of security and care he always found in Deacon’s arms. Not that long ago, he would have laughed at anyone who suggested he would be or feel as he did right then, but for once, he was determined to accept and appreciate what he had with Deacon.

He heard movement outside the room moments before Deacon stirred, shifting away from him before returning to hug him tight and kiss the nape of Kade’s neck. “Morning, Kade. Did you sleep well?” he asked in that sexy, sleep-roughened voice of his.

“I always sleep well with you,” Kade whispered, not certain Deacon was ready to hear such thoughts, but needing to express how happy he was somehow.

“Good. Why don’t we get up and feed our friends before we go out today?” Though Deacon said it as if it were a question, Kade knew it wasn’t.

He didn’t remember Deacon telling him they were going out, but he was elated with the idea. Kade wanted Deacon to go out in public with him, not just have Kade visit his home. He knew it was probably stupid, especially in light of Deacon’s invitation to attend the hospital gala soon, but he wanted to know Deacon was okay being seen with him—well, with him in the chair, more specifically. He wondered if Deacon would be patient and understanding of how hard certain things were when out, like moving around inside many stores. Laws aside, most shops weren’t really chair-friendly no matter what others claimed.

“Where are we going?” Kade asked.

Deacon gave him another kiss, to his temple this time, then got out of bed. As he moved over to his dresser, he replied, “I thought we could go out for a bit today. I have a few things I would like to do with you, and even though it’s a holiday, most stores are open. Also, I thought we could grab lunch and simply spend the day together.”

Kade waited until Deacon padded into the bathroom and closed the door before getting up and out of bed. By the time he had gotten into his chair and gathered his clothes—changing his mind twice, thanks to the idea he was dressing to go out and wanted to please his boyfriend and Dom—Deacon was out of the bathroom. He stopped long enough to drop a soft kiss on Kade’s forehead and lips before stepping into his huge walk-in closet. Kade watched him a moment, loving how self-assured and handsome the man was, then rolled himself to the bathroom to clean up and dress for the day.

When dressed and ready, Kade met Deacon at the window seat in the bedroom. “Ready, Kade?” Deacon asked. Eventually he made it downstairs, back in his chair, and, for once, sitting at the breakfast nook with Deacon instead of on the cushion. Sam and Jake joined them a few minutes later.

When breakfast was over, Kade was antsy to head out with Deacon, though he hated to say good-bye to Jake and Sam. Each man again gave Kade a kiss before leaving. Deacon gave Jake a light kiss as well, and then gave a man-hug, including a solid slap to the back, to Sam before walking them out.

THAT
afternoon, as Deacon and Kade wandered the shops near Biltmore, Deacon found what he’d been looking for. He had not yet told Kade what he sought, mostly because Deacon worried Kade would argue with him. This way Kade had no way to wiggle out of things, not unless he wanted to be rude in front of others.

“Here we are,” Deacon said, motioning to Kade as Deacon stopped and pulled open the frosted glass door of one of the many shops throughout the Biltmore Park area. He waited as Kade rolled inside, then stepped up beside him, setting his hand on Kade’s shoulder as he had most of the outing. Deacon had never been one for holding hands, but he knew Kade needed the show of ownership right then. Needed to know Deacon was not ashamed of him and would claim him in public, not simply someone to have visit and play.

Kade looked around before tilting his head up and meeting Deacon’s gaze. “A jewelry store?” Kade asked, brows raised as he waited.

“Indeed. You are welcome to look around with me or on your own. I won’t mind, but I’m looking for something specific and believe they will have it here.” The sweet smile Kade gave made him smile back. “I know shopping, especially at a jewelry store, isn’t really what most men want to do, but I won’t take long, I hope.” Actually, he knew they had what he wanted; it was more a matter of looking at the pieces and finding the exact right one for his boy.

“That’s fine. I keep meaning to get something for Katie anyway, so I’ll look for her.”

“For Katie?” Why would Kade buy her anything here?

He nodded. “Yeah, I want to get her something as a thank you and as a sort of, I don’t know, anniversary present, I guess. She’s worked for me for five years next week.”

“You actually remember the date you hired her?” That was impressive, and a little odd, in Deacon’s opinion.

“It’s easy when it’s also her birthday,” Kade explained, then laughed. “So I need to get her something extra special. She’s my only family and my best friend.”

Deacon nodded, understanding how important Katie was to Kade. They’d done the whole coming out story sharing, though Deacon’s wasn’t all that traumatic. His mother had passed away when he was in high school. When he told his father he wasn’t interested in girls, he’d responded that being careful of gold digging men was just as important as avoiding it in women. Kade wasn’t so lucky. When he’d told how his family turned on him and threw him out, Deacon had been hard-pressed not to want to hunt them down and beat them into puddles. Instead he’d done what he could to show how much he cared for Kade. “Well, then, go get something nice for her while I get what I need. I’ll come get you in a little bit if you haven’t caught back up.” Kade tipped his head up and smiled. Deacon bent to brush his lips over Kade’s before moving away to find the sales counter he needed.

“Can I help you, sir?” a petite, older woman asked Deacon a few minutes later. When he looked up, she smiled politely.

“Yes, I’m looking for a man’s bracelet. I want something somewhat unique, but I do not want to wait to have it made by a custom jeweler.”

She nodded. “My name is Grace, and we have many handsome pieces.” Grace led him over to a different area of the sales floor. “We only recently started carrying a new item from a small jeweler who specializes in interesting pieces that incorporate polished stones in each one.”

When Deacon looked at the display, he knew he’d found what he wanted for Kade. There in the case were bracelets, necklaces, and rings in titanium with a wide variety of interesting stones. Some he knew—jade, onyx, tiger’s eye, various types of jasper and more. He had no clue what the others were, but he knew it would be perfect. One of the bracelets caught his eye; the band was a chain of some sort. It appeared to be a wide, small box chain with an ID bar-like piece that was inlaid with a stone Deacon did not recognize. It was various shades of blue and black in a long single piece that looked almost like a stormy sky at dusk. There were a few thin veins of reddish brown in it as well, and he was certain it would look handsome on his boy’s wrist. What caught his eye next was the matching necklace. It had the same small, box-type chain as the bracelet, only slightly thinner. The pendant was reminiscent of a military dog tag, all but the edges inlaid with the same unique stone as the bracelet. His thoughts flashed to seeing Kade in nothing but the necklace, bracelet, and cage, and nearly moaned. It would make a perfect collar for Kade, passable in the vanilla world, but very telling otherwise. But they were not ready for that. Yet.

Shaking off the thought, Deacon pointed to the bracelet. “What’s this one made of?”
