Heart of River {BDSM / 18+}

28

We teased Casey a little more before he snapped. "If you're not gonna leave, be useful and tell us what the officer wanted. He wouldn't disclose much to me."

Although he didn't smile, I can tell Kentaro was pleased with his victory. The end to the teasing could come at a later date. Hopefully an end I could be involved in too.

"He was checking up on us, since we left before they arrived at the party." Kentaro explained, getting up to wash his dish. "He asked to talk to River and I told him to come back when I could be here for the meeting, as is my right as his Dom."

"His Dom?" Casey murmurs, glancing at me.

I look away, knowing it gave him my answer. On paper, I want to belong to Kentaro. But my heart belongs to both of them, even if I'm not willing to tell them yet. Love is too strong a word only having known each other a few weeks. But I could get there one day.

"If it's okay, Sir, I'd like for Casey to be there too." I fidget with my fingers and there's a breath of silence before Kentaro agrees.

"I'll be off then, I'll be home in a few hours when my meeting is done. If you boys need anything, River knows my cell number."

I get up and follow him to the front door, helping him with his jacket and sending him off with a kiss. It was the only thing I liked about him leaving.

That and getting to watch him walk away.

"So," I clap my hands and turn to Casey. "Did he give you the tour last time or would you like one now?"

"I had the mini tour, but I'd love to see your room." He smiles, taking my hand. I let him and walk him to my room.

"This is it, it's pretty boring since I haven't done much with it. I didn't actually know I'd be moving in." I try not to let my face flush too much as he looks around the relatively plain room.

"I'm glad you chose the Dom you feel is right for you, River." He turns to me, a small smile on his face with sad eyes. "Genuinely."

I attempt a smile back but it seems to make him sad. "If I'm being honest, I couldn't pick. I'd love to choose both of you, but legally I can only belong to one."

He pauses and I see him chew on his lip. I know he's thinking so I motion for him to sit. I stand beside him and gently run my fingers through his hair. It's gotten longer since the first week.

"You're my babysitter for the next few hours, what do you want to do?"

Hopefully doing something will get his mind off of things. Not that it would help in the long run, but I wasn't ready to address that yet.

"We could go into town, go shopping, or just walk around? Or if you want to stay here, we could take a walk or something."

A walk sounded nice, but so did getting to be in the city. I didn't get to go very often just for fun.

"How bout a quick visit to the city and then we can come back and swim? It's an indoor pool so we don't have to worry about the cold."

He grins and stands, scooping me up. I yelp and wrap myself around him, smacking his shoulder.

"That scared me." I glare at him and he laughs, turning around and dropping me on the bed. "I'll be changed in a minute, I'll meet you in the foyer."

"Or I could just wait here." He grinned wolfishly, and I throw one of my pillows at him. He just laughs and tossed it back on the bed, sticking his tongue out as he saunters out of the room.

I quickly change and grab a jacket before meeting him by the front door. He glanced up from his phone as I slipped my shoes on and I gave him a pointed look.

"Alright, alright." He slips his phone into his pocket, and puts his hands up. "No phone, just time for you."

I give him a kiss on the cheek and shoo him out the door. I lock it while he goes to start the car. I take a moment to watch him through the windshield, nodding his head along to whatever song was on the radio before he turned it down.

Once we're actually on the road, I turn up the music and flip through the channels. He looks at me out of the corner of his eye with a small smile but doesn't say anything.

What I would give to know what he's thinking at the moment.

"You never gave me an answer, y'know. Did you wanna shop or just walk around?"

I think for a second before realizing the most obvious thing. "I don't have any money so we can just walk around, window shop."

Casey snorts but didn't say anything. I frown, a little hurt, but I kept quiet. No reason to start anything and ruin the day.

He pulls into a giant parking lot, where at least a hundred cars were parked already. It takes a minute to find a spot, and it's pretty far from the doors.

"We'll start at one end and meander our way to the other side since you've never been here before. Deal?"

I nod and he leads me inside.
