Spring Porn: Love Toy
He’d pulled out all his tricks, he’d even done that thing with his tongue, but none of it was yielding the intended result. He looked up at the client, who – at least physically – didn’t seem to be enjoying themselves. “We can play however you want.” The response that came back surprised him. He’d heard this was common but hadn’t yet experienced it himself. Nonetheless, he obliged and laid next to the client, cuddling like they shared an intimacy sculpted over years of mutual hardships and celebrations. He watched the client sigh and close his eyes, their face finally presenting a satisfied state. He smirked at his naivete. He was being paid for pleasure, he’d just misunderstood which type.
