Free Bondage by Chris Owen, Jodi Payne

start right after you digest," Tobias invited.
    "Cool," Phan grinned. "Nothing like fostering affections."
    "Ah." Noah laughed and winked at Phan. "You're good."
    "I've had practice -- Bradford wouldn't let me out of his sight, and you wouldn't believe some of the scheming I've heard Doms planning." His gaze slid to Tobias. "You didn't hear that."
    "Didn't hear a thing. And you won't tell a thing."
    "Tell what?"
    "Exactly."
    Noah looked like he might turn purple. "Well, that hardly seems fair."
    Phan looked at him pityingly. "Noah. What the Dom doesn't know, he can't whip your ass for. But if you're going to make a big deal out of it, it makes it hard to whisper in your ear later, and we both get stripes. Shut up and wait until lights out, 'kay?"
    Tobias raised an eyebrow and looked at Noah. "You didn't spend a lot of time ganging up on your parents with your sisters, did you?"
    "Are you kidding?" Noah snorted. "My sisters always ganged up on me."
    "They were trading secrets in the dark," Phan told him. "And now you, pretty boy, have a brother of sorts to swap tales with. But we gotta do it on the sly, see? Can't let the man know. Just between us."
    Tobias was fairly sure he'd never heard a worse fake noir accent.
    Noah snorted and shook his head. "Do you know, I don't think I have a single secret from the man? I'm going to be terrible at keeping them." He finished his Coke. "So, the rules are understood, by the way."
    Tobias nodded. "Good. Phan?"
    "Got it. No hands, no cock, but I can suck. Yay!"
    Tobias rolled his eyes and got a faintly apologetic look.
    "Sorry," Phan said. "Sleep, food, and sugar. Oh, and the whole here thing. I'm a little floaty."
    "And Noah's a little exhausted," Tobias said with a smile. He kind of liked floaty Phan. "A couple more things, then. Tomorrow we'll figure out what to do with this place. Until we move, though, I think it'll be a little cramped here for all three of us, and to be totally honest, I'm not sure if just me and Phan living here is a good idea. Thoughts?"
    "Phan can stay with me at my place, but you've got him Wednesdays and Thursdays, Tobias; you're going to have at least two nights alone -- unless you send him back late."
    "Up to you, sweetheart. It's your feelings I'm thinking of here."
    "I've already agreed to you having penetrative sex in-scene only, which presumably will take place whether I'm present or not? I'm not naive enough to think you're not going to want him in your bed if he stays the night, Tobias, but you'll stick to that rule and I'm... okay with that. I think. Yes, I'm okay with that, but I'll miss you." He smiled at Tobias. "The weekends are mine, after all."
    Tobias smiled and shook his head. "You two are bending over backward not to hurt each other. Really, it's a nice thing to see, but it gets in the way. All right, Phan, welcome back to service, in which I push you around and give you a lot of orders. And send you off in a chauffeured car after soundly taking a crop to your ass twice a week. Better make sure he has a key, Noah."
    Noah did a passable job of hiding his relief. Phan might have been fooled, but Tobias wasn't. "Will do. You gonna clean my place, Phan?" Noah asked with a chuckle.
    "Probably," Phan said easily. "I get bored. Got dust bunnies? I'm great with dust bunnies."
    "They're hopping around under the bed as we speak."
    "Oh, spry little bunnies. Cool. Maybe I'll start a bunny farm. Give Crispin something to stomp on."
    Noah shook his head and looked at Tobias. "This might be an adventure I wasn't counting on. Anything else on your list?"
    Tobias shook his head. "No, I think I'm done, though I fear for your dust bunnies now. Anything on your mind?"
    "Yeah." Noah nodded. "A couple of things. We're still on for the occasional night-out scenes?" he asked Tobias.
    "Oh, yes," Tobias nodded. "Absolutely."
    "Okay. What about social functions, like club activities or parties?"
    Tobias tilted his head. "Well, you're my sub. Anything addressed to me plus
