Channon's first time under Jack's thumb was better than he could ever have imagined. He wants more, but has no idea what that could be. Jack, meanwhile, knows exactly what he wants from his young lover--nothing less than total obedience. And he knows exactly how to get it.
This was a great addition to the series. I like how Jack and Channon's relationship is progressing. Can't wait to see what Jack has Channon do next. I read this book using the Kindle Unlimited program.
Gentle stimulation, simple demands, setting the hook
When your unknown desires suddenly overwhelm your hormones and brain, the power of suggestion becomes controlling of your responses. When sex is the motivator, most people's response is to obey. Even the body responds, but may not want to wait for orders.
“I saw it when you realized,” Jack went on, quiet in Channon’s ear. “There was a moment where you knew you’d been caught, and then you took one look at me and the whole of your face transformed. It was beautiful. You looked so confused and so desperate, so reluctantly aroused. I wanted that. I still want that. You, Channon, on your knees for me..."
Here Channon is figuring out what Sir expects. He is also finding out more about what he likes. I love how this is going. Slow steady steps in teaching Channon what submission is.
The good + Channon + Channon taking Jack's rule about honesty very seriously + Channon's praise kink + Jack's attempts at communicating with Channon (but seriously, Jack, Channon needs more information to know exactly what he's consenting to!)
The bad - Jack told Channon how to stop something he doesn't like, but it's obvious that Channon would never safeword if he thought Jack was enjoying something. This could easily have been prevented by Jack saying he'd be disappointed if Channon didn't safeword (because disappointing someone is Channon's personal hell), or checking in more often with questions Channon has to answer honestly - Jack said Channon is his exclusively, sexually speaking, but didn't 'return' the promise. I bet poor Channon thinks Jack has a convenient boy in every town
Quotes x He looked relaxed, pleased, and Channon wanted to go over there and... well, anything Jack wanted. But he didn't. Instead, he stood there staring like a love-struck baby cow. x Jack smiled. He looked so normal when he smiled, shockingly handsome but normal, a regular guy who liked regular things, not things like fucking his teenage neighbor's mouth raw. x "Normally, the second rule would be that you address me as 'sir', but you already seem to have the hang of that. In public 'Jack' or 'Mr Nash' is fine. But in private, I'll be 'sir' to you. Do you understand?" "Yes, sir. Uh, sir?" "Yes?" "Am I still Channon?"
I still don't like Jack. But I'm clinging to the memories of future-Jack and just focusing on Channon right now. So here's three good boy stars for Channon.
