Twisted Moon - Book 3 of the Black Moon series - Chapter 34: Jealousy Might Be The Key, Indeed...

(Camden's POV - Sun. 29 March 2015)

"You're up early..." I tell Aaron right as I answer his call. It's only nine in the morning and contrary to Noah and I who got back home before midnight, he must have crashed much later in the night and could probably have used more sleep.

"I haven't slept yet," he replies with a tired voice.

"You're still with Marlon?"

"Oh no, I drove him back to his place already! Poor guy was exhausted after two hours of edging..." he chuckles. "Now I just wanted to check in on you before I go to bed. How did it go last night after you left?"

"It went well, I believe. He didn't say that much on our way back and I didn't ask him either. I wanted to give him the night to assimilate what he saw."

"Yeah, that's a good idea. But it seems like he enjoyed himself, right?"

"Yeah, I think so," I sigh. I would even say that he enjoyed himself greatly!

"Cam, if he's attracted to the lifestyle, you have to let him try it. And I'm not saying this just because it's always good to welcome new members. You - more than anyone else - know how it can be beneficial to those who need it."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I am just not completely sure if he can really fit in..."

"Give it a break, Cam, you know he does," Aaron replies in his most serious tone. "I observed him throughout the whole evening and he would definitely need it. It was clear that he liked what he saw during the show, but there were more important signs. I saw how he looked at Liam with envy while he was with Joshua. I saw how he was mesmerized by Mark, Alex and Shan's relationship. And even more blatant was his need to be controlled when he began to panic after Chris showed up. Without the reassurance and the authority of a Dom, he would have probably gone haywire."

"Hmm... If I hadn't taken him there, that wouldn't have happened. But thanks anyway for having taken care of him. I'm sorry I left you dealing with him, but I was afraid Chris would ask for a contract again and I'm not sure how Noah would have taken that," I say. I really had a difficult moment of hesitation when Chris asked to speak to me. I was shared between Noah's distress and the obligation to listen to Chris; because when a Sub asks for permission to talk, unless there is valid reason to reject him, it becomes a duty for the Dom to listen to him; he owes him that much, especially when it's a Sub he often plays with, so I couldn't deny this bit of attention to Chris. Knowing that Noah was in good hands with Aaron, I decided to go and listen to whatever Chris had to tell me, but I really tried to make it as short as possible.

"You're welcome. You did well to go and speak with Chris; and you knew I wouldn't mind. But don't change the subject! You know what I meant, right? You saw how he tightened and how he seemed to be in pain. I'm pretty sure that all he could think about was to get some physical pain to appease his mental suffering, and this is what I want you to understand, Cam. This boy needs help. I'm certain you're doing great with him but if he could get in the lifestyle and trust someone to guide him all along, he would be able to surpass his urges and compensate in a different way; at least one that wouldn't leave marks on his body."

"I know Aaron, I know..."

"Then, if he begs to find out more about the club and the lifestyle in general, just let him discover it. Let him follow the Submissive training, it would do him a lot of good. Mark and Josh are quite busy at the moment, but Orlando and Trevor could take care of his training..." Aaron suggests, making me groan. Orlando and Trevor have been members of the club ever since it opened in 2008; I know that they are very good Dominants, but I just can't imagine Noah with them. "Or I could do it..." Aaron then suggests with a smug tone. No way. Aaron isn't the Master Dom for no reason and he is definitely the best Dom of all but, even if I do trust my friend, I know how trainings can sometimes deviate to more than mere training. Yes, I'm a possessive bastard; a selfish possessive bastard, I should say.
