2 Chapter 2

Taren chuckled and put the razor in the sink. “It’s going to be a pleasure showing you off.” He reached for a small box resting on the counter near the mirror. From it he extracted a platinum Cuban link chain. He laid it around Ian’s neck. The chain fit snuggly against Ian’s skin and dipped low enough under his neck it would be concealed under his shirt collar. As Taren hooked the clasp, he brushed his lips over the back of Ian’s neck then smoothed his palms across Ian’s shoulders. “I do love how this looks on you, boy.”

Ian’s face softened and he smiled. “Thank you, Master. I like how it feels, it’s solid.” He ran the fingers of one hand over the links.

Ian met Taren’s gaze again in the mirror and it was plain he wanted to ask for more of an explanation about the ‘showing him off’ comment, but Taren wouldn’t give him one. Yet. “Finish washing so you can get dressed for work.” Taren left him to his task.
