Hate Me Before You Love Me (BDSM/Mature)

Chapter 9. The Arbitration

“You are a shitty man, Peter!” Emma said as she sat across from Peter.
“You hurt Alex; what do you expect me to do?” Peter pretends to straighten his tie, which does not need straightening.
“Where is that coward anyway??” Emma raised her eyebrows.
“This is between you and me, mostly. Why do you care anyway?” Peter scoffed.
“I am not giving the kids up to you,” Emma said.
“So you can’t hurt them?” Peter asked.
“You don’t even have an apartment anymore here! You can’t just take them away to Boston!” Emma protested.
“I can easily get a place, and you know that. You just don’t want to lose. This is not about the kids; this is about your  pride."Peter’s tone rose.
“And that is not the case for you?” Emma raised her eyebrows.
“Morning..” Alex came peeking at the door. “I hope everyone is well. I will grab some coffee, then join you. Alex smiled bitterly.
“Hey, slut!” Emma said it in a mean tone. She rarely used that tone, but she was a mother who was about to lose her kids because her submissive ex-boyfriend wanted to press charges against her.
“Emma!” Peter yelled at Emma.
“Oh, you don’t yell at me, dick!” Emma got even more angry.
“I’ll drop the charges. But I want to dissolve or sell the company.” Alex holds his breath.
“What?!” Peter yelled now.
“You will leave me anyway, Pete. So, I’m quitting. I want to relocate to the Midwest. I don’t need you or Emma anymore.” Alex walked out.
“So, luck is on my side after all.” Emma grinned. “Are you going to charm your way out of that?"
“Oh, fuck you. You are a sexual abuser!” Peter walked out. He finds Alex in his office. Peter sat opposite Alex. “What the hell was that?” Peter asked.
“I want to quit, as I told you before. I’m sorry, Pete, but those kids aren’t even yours. Do you really want to raise them?” Alex looked at Peter.
“Yes? They are my kids, Alex. Just don’t do this to me. Please? I need my kids. Peter sighed.
“But you left them behind a few months ago? You didn’t want them back then; you just wanted them out of your ego. Emma is a good mother.” Alex stared at Peter.
“And I am a good father. Emma hurts you, so do you expect me to just be like you? Just give your kids up to an  abuser."Peter stared back at Alex.
“My kid is better with Chloe anyway.” Alex turned away and typed on his computer. “I want to drop the charges, and..." Alex stopped. “Sean wants to be back in Boston, with or without you. Sean is a good man, and I really hope you are going to choose him. This company is done without me, and you know that."
“Why?” Peter asked. “Why are you doing this, really?"
“I cheated on you when we were in a relationship, not only with Emma but also with Chloe.” Alex took a deep breath.
“So? You decide to ruin me even more by not giving me my child back?” Peter asked.
“What about your parents?” Alex asked.
“What about them?” Peter furrowed his eyebrows.
“If you move to Boston with your kids, your parents will lose their grandchildren. Are you really okay with that? Emma had been doing a great job keeping your kids in touch with your parents, and now you just want to wreck it? Just because you want a new life with a new man?” Alex confronted Peter.
“You don’t have any right to tell me what I should and shouldn’t do. You can’t even be faithful to me.” Peter said it angrily.
“I will sue her if you come back with me. Date me again, and we will do what we did before. If Sean wants to be a part of it, I am fine. But I want you as my dom.” Alex finally revealed his intentions.
“Are you really going to extort me like this?” Peter asked.
“I don't, but you love Sean, and you will pick him over me. I can’t let you do that.” Alex held his breath. “Peter, I can’t do this with anyone else but you."
“You did it with Chloe." Peter stared at Alex.
“I did cheat on you with Chloe, but I never did a scene with Chloe again after I dated you. I had sex with her because I want to have normal sex with women sometimes. After doing a scene with you, I never want to be vulnerable in front of anyone else but you.” Alex sighed.
Peter sighed. “So, you can have normal sex and I can’t?” Peter shakes his head.
“That’s not..” Alex closed his eyes. Peter is right. Why is he doing that if he really loves Peter? And why did he want to sabotage Peter from getting his kids?
“Just do whatever. I am not coming back to you. You are just too much for me.” Peter stood up.
“Peter.. How can I say that I’m sorry and I will change?” Alex grabbed Peter’s wrist. “I just want you back. I will do whatever it takes.
“Threatening me is not a good way, sweet one." Peter smiled bitterly. “Just do this arbitration right, and then I will consider whether to forgive you or not.” Peter twisted his wrist to release himself from Alex’s grip.
“I know. I’m desperate, Pete. I love you so much. And I know I am not a perfect man like Sean, but I just love you. Alex tried to hold back his tears.
“Arbitration time.. Come with me, sweet one. Peter smiled and offered his hand to Alex.

“So, we are staying here?” Sean looked at Peter. Peter took him to his hotel after the arbitration.
“Unfortunately, yes. They insisted on shared custody. But I will get them most of the time, and Emma will not be working for the company anymore. Alex insisted on selling the company. And to be honest, I might be interested in selling too.” Peter said. “We can relocate to somewhere more remote and homeschool the kids. Just you and me. Peter smiled.
“What about Alex?” Sean asked.
“You want me to be honest or lie to you?” Peter looked at Sean.
“Well, probably honesty is better." Sean looked down.
“I don’t want him. But he will put himself in danger again if I stop being his dom.” Peter shrugged.
“That is fair, I suppose." Sean leaned his body toward Peter. “He loves you so much, and he likes that thing way too much."
“Oh, yes, he is. I told him to go to a therapist. Because his craving is just... Peter sighed. “It’s not healthy anymore."
“He wants to do it 24 hours a day, right?” Sean asked.
“Yes, and.. I don’t know. I don’t want to shame him for that. But he’s not like that. The more I give, the more he craves. So, it has become an addiction, in my opinion.” Peter said.
“I understand. And I am fine with relocating here for you. Sean smiled.
“I love you, Sean." Peter kissed Sean’s lips gently.
“I love you too." Sean smiles.
“I promised Alex that I would do a scene with him tonight. Do you want to see it, or do you want to stay here?” Peter asked.
“Oh, about that." Sean bites his lips.
“Yeah?” Peter tilted his head.
“Alex showed me your sex tape with him." Sean sighed.
“Really? Which one?” Peter asked.
“You are not mad?” Sean gave a questioning look.
“Why do you think I would be mad?” Peter furrowed his eyebrows.
“Well, isn’t it supposed to be private?” Sean asked.
“No, I taped it. It’s for pleasure. I’m not going to distribute it, but anyone can see that.” Peter smiled and hugged his boyfriend.
“Oh..” Sean is kind of shocked. He knew now that his boyfriend actually had some exhibitionist kinks.
“Which one did you see? And do you like it?” Peter asked.
“The one you tied Alex to a table.” Sean stopped.
“Oh, that is a fun one." Peter kissed Sean’s cheeks. “Do you like it? And which one of the spectrums do you think you would like to try?” Peter asked.
“Hmm.. I did come inside Alex’s mouth after that, so yes, it is a turn-on. To be honest, probably the submissive side? Because you are so hot as a  dom."Sean blushes.
“We can go over some videos or watch me do a scene with Alex to see what you are comfortable doing and what you’re not.” Peter smiled. “BDSM needs a high level of consent and understanding, so we need to do this right."
“And I am glad to explore this with you. I know a lot of people are not as good as you. At least that is what Alex told me.” Sean kissed Peter.
“So, you want to see me and Alex tonight?” Peter asked.
“Can I be in it too?” Sean asked.
“Yes and no. You can be in the sex part, but I am not doing a scene with you without knowing your likes and dislikes." Peter said.
“Okay, I understand. I really like you doing this. You sound like such a professional.” Sean chuckled.
“I am not, but I heard a lot of stories about people who started to do this and ended up with a bad dom or bad sub. It’s something you have to learn from the experience and from listening to other people, especially your scene partner.” Peter explained.
Sean nodded. Peter asked him to wait while he prepared himself. He changed his clothes, put on a cock ring, and then a jock strap. Sean already feels his cock twitching from seeing Peter get dressed. Peter put on leather pants and a harness as his top, then put on a leather jacket. He also put on leather boots as a finishing touch.
“Fuck, Peter..” Sean moans.
“Yeah? You like this?” Peter smiled.
“Fuck yes..” Sean is trying to calm his dick down.
Peter grabbed Sean and made out with him. “I love you, brave one." Peter smiled as their lips parted for a few seconds.
Sean abruptly pushed Peter. "Sorry, I love it so much, but I want to enjoy the scene."
“Oh, come here." Peter pulled him to the bed. He laid Sean in front of him. He positioned Sean sideways and laid his head on his chest. He rubbed Sean and told him to take a deep breath. Peter managed to calm Sean down within ten minutes.
“How do you do that?” Sean asked.
“BDSM scenes are usually endurance plays. So if I see my sub being too excited, we take a break. Overstimulation is not so fun, but edging is.” Peter smiled.
Sean scoffed. “Now I know why Alex wants you so badly.” Sean smiles. “You really are a good person. You are considerate."
“Well, this is a sexual play. It’s a two-way connection and communication.” Peter smiled. "Okay, we need to go."
“Oh.. Okay..” Sean stood up and helped Peter up too.
They drive to Alex’s place. Alex seems ready for a scene because he is in a robe when he opens the door. Peter told him to kneel down on top of a pillow. Peter let Sean sit on the couch.
“Okay, ground rules. Safe words: mine is Java, and Alex’s is Linux. You have to give me yours, Sean. And I do a numbers check; one is for go ahead, zero for stop, and ten for slow down.” Peter explained.
“Mine is a map. Can I use map as my safe  word?"Sean asked.
“You can, but remember that word. You have to say it when you don’t want to do something. Okay?” Peter looked at him.
“Yeah.. Oh.. Um.. Why do you need a safe word? I mean, you are the dom,” Sean asked.
“While it might be rare for Dom to pull out a safe word, they can do it. And they might pull it when they have concern for the sub as well.” Peter explained.
“Okay, got it." Sean nodded.
“Take off your clothes, Sean. You take your robe off too, sweet one. You have your hole stretched, I  assumed."Peter said.
“Yes, sir,” Alex answered.
“Okay, great. I will grab some shackles, a harness, and a connector. Wait here..” Peter stood up and left.
The two men started stripping themselves off. Peter came back not long after they finished getting naked. Sean saw that Alex wore his cock cage and a butt plug. Sean’s dick is getting hard from seeing that sight.
“Sean, I will refer to you as a brave one, and you can refer to me as Peter or Sir. I don’t mind.” Peter said. He took off his leather jacket. “Brave one, help me put this on, sweet one.” Peter handed the shackles to Sean.
They put shackles on Alex’s wrists and ankles. Peter put on a harness for Alex and Sean. Sean did not know it took a lot of preparation to do this. After they were done, Alex stayed on his pillow, kneeling. And Sean sits next to Peter on the couch. Peter asked for consent from both of them, and they both said yes.
Peter starts by telling Alex to put his mouth on Sean’s dick. It is still flaccid, but Sean feels like his cock is already responding to that order. Peter starts kissing Sean with his lips, then his neck.
“Fuck.. Hmm..” Sean’s breath is already getting faster.
Peter pulled away. “Brave one, what is your number?"
“Fuck.. I.. ahh." Sean moaned instead of answering Peter. He felt Alex’s tongue circling his dick.
“Sean.. Number..” Peter pulled Sean’s face toward his.
“I.. One.. Fuck." Sean breathes faster.
“Alex! Stop it!” Peter yelled. “Java!"
Alex pulled his mouth from Sean’s dick. He tried to hold his tears back.
“Why did you do that?!” Peter yelled at Alex again. “I’m not doing this when you can’t listen to me!” Peter knew Alex was jealous of Sean. Alex wants to make Sean come so fast, so Peter will give him undivided attention.
Sean noticed that Alex was about to burst into crying. He pulled Alex up and held him. “Peter, just be patient. It’s my fault; I get excited too fast. I’m sorry..” Sean defended Alex.
“You are a manipulative person, Alex! I will never want to be your dom ever again! Sean is my boyfriend! You are nobody to me!” Peter grabbed his jacket and walked out on them.
Sean calmed Alex down as he cried. “Did you really do that on purpose?” Sean asked.
Alex nodded weakly. “I’m sorry.. I just want Peter to pay attention to me.
“Alex, you have to trust Peter. Peter is right; this is a two-way relationship. You want him to give you pain, but you give him one instead.” Sean sighed.
“I’m sorry.. Please help me fix  this."Alex pleaded.
“I will try, but you have to promise me that you will try too." Sean asked.
“I will. I promise..” Alex sobs.
“I will talk to him. Just please stop sabotaging your relationship with  him."Sean asked.
“I will try,” Alex answered.
“Thank you. I will help you take the shackles off. Then I will try to talk to Peter. We need to have a getaway, just the three of us.” Sean sighed.
