Karter

Thursday morning I woke up nuzzled into my favorite spot: AK's neck! When we got home last night I took to the edge again, but he pulled me right onto the spot I'm in now. Getting to touch him was a big deal for me, I didn't want to lose that privilege again.

I purred softly while rubbing my face on him, and squeezed his torso tighter. My actions were reciprocated when AK squeezed my sides. This woke Lion, and my nuzzles turned into kisses and playful bites. AK chuckled, "Good morning to you too."

He turned his head, presumably to check the time, so I licked the sweet spot on his neck that makes him shiver. His previous mark was faded, and we can't have that. I sucked on that spot, making him groan and grip my sides tighter. "Karter it's 9am, let's go back to sleep."

I ignored him completely, and rocked my jockstrap-covered erection on his hip. I bit on the spot I was sucking, making him release another groan. His sounds and morning voice are further fueling my desire. "But I'm wide awake."

I placed my hands over his, and slid them down to grab my ass. "Please?" I rested my chin on his chest and pouted. "Are you still making me wait?"

He hummed, looking between my swirling eyes. "Did you know that Jerent fired you?"

I gasped, planking myself over him. "For missing one meeting?!"

AK gave me a sleepy 'Are you serious?' look. "No, fool. You forcibly lost your humanity, the citizens haven't decided what to do about it yet. He can't keep you on, it's a liability."

I groaned in frustration. "This was my first Tech gig and I'm fired before the third meeting. How pathetic." I flopped down on him, making him grunt dramatically. "Don't worry, this doesn't mean OUR deal is off. As long as you follow my conditions."

He began rubbing over my lower back and ass. "Karter, do you remember why I'm making you wait?"

I nodded, and began to purr from the feeling of his hands. "To show me you can control yourself, because you like seeing me squirm, and because you want me to know you."

"Mhm." He trailed his fingers higher, lightly over Lion's Mark. "Second reason aside, we're no longer on the same show." I immediately cut my eyes up to look at him. "Do you have faith I can control myself?"

I sat up slightly, very interested in where this was going. "Yes. I do."

AK looked into my eyes and continued. "I need a security blanket, Karter. Prove to me you won't run, or that you'll at least run to me."

I nodded, with growing enthusiasm. "Okay. How do you want me to do that?"

He nodded his head behind me so I turned to look. The contract was sitting on the dresser, on top of its folder. "Want me to sign the contract?" I got up to get it, and when I came back he was sitting against the headboard. "This starts our life together, right?"

He nodded. "I already know not suppressing your feelings, and alerting me of your distress is going to be hard. I'm willing to wait on it, if you truly will work on it. You asked me to help you stop running. For now, I can only give you a place to run to. If you're trying to run from me, I'd rather we talk about it."

I frowned slightly, already feeling the pressure of future communication. "I don't think I'll be running from you again. I realized just how much of yourself you give me, and how much of a privilege you truly are... I can admit that sometimes I feel caged though, not always by you, just in general. I end up back in the woods near my parents' house, where you found me before. How about there?"
