  Temate and Toni sat across from each other as Temate expined the rules of his game.

  “You get to ask one question, then the other person answers with a single word. That word can’t be yes, no or any other simir word meant purely to confirm or deny. Granted if you’re doing it right, that shouldn’t be a valid answer. Sound good?” Temate expined, a simple game all things considered.

  “Is that it, just one word and then you ask your question?” Toni tilted her head quizzically.

  “Not quite, if you want the person to expin their answer you can call bullshit!” Temate raised one finger and said the st word in his best ‘british gentleman’ voice. That made Toni chuckle slightly. “If you do, the other person can expin, or they can refuse. If they refuse you get to ask a new question instead.”

  “Huh, and what if they expin?” Toni asked.

  “Nothing,” Temate shrugged, “Your reward is getting a detailed expnation of something, and considering how risque you can be with questions, since the answer is only one word, you can get some juicy stuff.”

  Toni thought for a moment. “Hmmm, so this is like a first date type game, and you said risque, any limits on how risque?”

  “I have none, but let's say you can refuse to answer a question if it's too much, sound good?”

  Toni was excited, “Can I go first?” she asked, Temate noticed that and bowed slightly to her.

  “Mmm, alright alright.” Toni examined Temate and decided to see if she could get a reaction out of the stoic man. Sure she’d seen and heard the occasional surprised sound, but he never seemed off foot.

  “How did you lose your virginity?” She grinned, feeling confident with her question.

  “Ropes.” The answer came quickly and she blinked, then she was confused.

  “Wait what, how is that an answer?!”

  He just shrugged.

  “No no no, bullshit I call bullshit!” That was the point of the game right? She needed this story!

  “Hmmm, my first time started as a kinky friend visiting and teaching me how to do various rope ties. That, naturally, escated to her taking my virginity, which I think we both knew was gonna happen. The ropes were really just forepy, but she was tied up during.” Temate rubbed his chin, looking up and away. Toni felt it was more thoughtful or reminiscent than embarrassing.

  Toni’s jaw dropped. There was so much information there, he knew kinky rope stuff. He was kinky, had a kinky friend, and had tied her up. The images in her head were wild and, mostly, didn’t involve whoever this friend was, but Toni herself. She coughed and shook her head to clear the thoughts as they started drifting to her being tied up and watching...

  “How about you?” Temate asked before she could recover, snapping her out of her thoughts. She grimaced at the question. How had she lost her virginity? She could refuse to answer but… it was so long ago. She thought about her answer.

  “You don’t have to answer, I can ask a different question if it's uncomfortable.” Temate spoke as one of his eyes rose, he could tell.

  Toni shook her head. “No I can answer it, I just got…” She stopped, and she had her answer. “Manipution.”

  The room was silent, awkwardly so she felt. Toni looked up to Temate who examined her, both hands on his p. He closed his eyes and nodded towards her with a soft, apologetic smile.

  “I’m sorry, Toni. Your turn.” She nodded, grateful he didn't dig further, and asked her question.

  “What’s one of your core fetishes?” She didn’t know a lot about kink, well she knew a lot with all the reading she'd done. She just hadn't experienced much.

  This time, Temate did think for a bit. “Mmmm, Caregiver.”

  Toni ughed and grinned at him. “Yeah I can see that, you give off real Daddy vibes and I like that.” She practically purred the st few words, blushing slightly. Where had that come from? Temate noticed and raised an eyebrow, she blushed harder.

  “Well, I guess I don’t need to ask you that seeing how you responded. My question is, how much experience do you have in bdsm?” She cleared her throat.

  “Digital.” She replied with only a short pause to frown.

  “Bullshit.” He said it quickly and she grimaced, did she expin? It wasn’t that embarrassing to be honest.

  “It’s pretty simple, I’ve not had many retionships, less than double digits all told. A couple have been online and that’s the only pce I’ve… experimented.” She blushed slightly at the memories. The things she wrote, the things she did because some guy or girl on the other side of the world gave her a stern order. Then she looked up at him. "BUT! I have read a lot about dynamics and healthy boundaries and SSC and RACK and stuff-" Temate held up one hand.

  “Honestly it makes sense, most people don’t exactly get into the space at all, they have preconceptions about it that-" He shrugged "- anyway I started a bit younger than you are now.”

  “Really?” She asked, “Why did you start?”

  He grinned at her, she was confused for a second until, “Horny.”

  “No WAIT NO, I CALL BULLSHIT! Not cause I want an answer but I didn’t think that would count as my question! That's not fair!”

  He shrugged, “you should pay attention, we’re in a bear ir, from what Pip says, words are more dangerous here than weapons. As to the question-”

  “NO! I want another question. That’s so rude!”

  Temate looked at her with a smirk, “I refuse to expin.”

  “Huh? Wait why, I want to know!”

  “I thought you said you wanted to ask a different question, now you can.” Temate leaned back.

  Toni paused and thought. Fuck, did she want to ask another question or, well that was a pretty good question wasn’t it? Damn that stupid, smug, handsome, sexy grin. She gred at him, then harrumphed.

  “I uh… changed my mind?” She said, unsure if he’d accept that.

  “Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.” He was thinking, pretending to think. She decided if he was gonna cheat she could too. She gave him a big pout and spoke with a whine.

  “Daddy, pleeeeeeeeeease!” It was very effective. In fact, it caused a visible reaction, and a pretty extreme one. He blushed as his eyes widened. He coughed to clear his throat and Toni deeefinitely noticed him moving one hand to casually cover his crotch. She grinned victoriously.

  “Cheater.”

  “You cheated first… Daddy” she grinned as she said that st word.

  “Ugh, don’t do that so casually, I’m not your daddy or your dom… Yet.” He looked at her and grinned a bit, it was her turn to blush.

  “Fine though. Simply put when I was 20 I was still a virgin, I was horny and afraid to approach people. I wanted to get off and at the time I was… problematic. In many ways. I thought bdsm was just a pce where I could go be abusive and bossy and get my rocks off with some chicks who would be into it.” He shrugged but continued.

  “In the end it led to a lifestyle shift which helped me discover and develop myself, to grow as a person. Only after that friend I mentioned verbally bashed me over the head for being an asshole.”

  She nodded along and then blinked, “wait the same girl you tied up and lost your virginity to?”

  He nodded to her in response. “The very same, she helped me realize how asinine and idiotic and many other toxic things I was. In the process we grew very intimate. There was no romantic attraction, but we enjoyed each other's company, and eventually each other's bodies.”

  “Wow, that sounds amazing, wish I could have watched that.” She smiled at him, then blushed realizing what she’d said and hoped he didn’t connect the dots.

  “Oh? Why do you like to watch?” He asked her and she swore as her whole body grew hot with embarrassment, and shame. She was hotter than the sun pit! Why did she like that feeling so much.

  “I uh, I don’t know what you mean.” She replied awkwardly, trying to maintain some sembnce of innocence.

  “Oh no, I think you misunderstand, that’s my next question. ‘Why do you like to watch?’, you absolutely just said you wish you could have ‘watched’ that, not ‘seen’ that. It’s a small difference but…” He trailed off. She pouted but he just watched her, then she groaned and put her head in her hands.

  “Sorry, this is what I-”

  “One word, Toni.” He cut her off, she looked up and blinked. Then smiled a bit.

  “Weird.” She answered, he smiled and nodded.

  “Bullshit.” Such a simple word, and yet it was an executioner's axe for Toni. Or rather normally it would be, but the way he looked at her, no judgement in his eyes. He was older than most people she'd been with, except a couple online. He'd been so much more mature than even they had been, so she decided to be honest.

  “I’m uh… Simply put I like to watch my partner with other people. Honestly it’s more than just that, it can get real… severe.” She smiled a soft rueful smile.

  He thought for a long few minutes, and she watched him looking for the signs. The disgust, the awkward discomfort, the rage, she'd seen all sorts of reactions to this confession.

  “So would you say you’re a cuck?” He asked her, she blinked. None, no reactions, he was just looking at her, waiting for her answer.

  “A what? I don’t know what that means.” She didn’t, and she'd looked into a lot of things, though the word sounded familiar. "I've just called myself a voyeur..."

  Temate just nodded. “Cuckoldry or cuckqueaning in your case, is when a partner likes their partner to sleep with other people, reasons can vary. Sometimes they’re just into the shame of being cheated on, sometimes they like to be humiliated and made to feel inferior.

  “Sometimes it's the opposite, they like to have their partner be with someone else, then be the one they come back to, to be their chosen, their core. That’s how I am, or rather how I am retionship wise. I’ll extend this to my weird thing if that’s okay?”

  Toni’s mouth would be on the floor if it could be. Not only was he okay with her more shameful want, such a strong want it was practically a need, but he also was into it? Sure, it would seem like people were really into that, and yes in kink spheres in general, they were.

  For someone who was just a fuck buddy. A partner? A serious retionship? Then it’s all awkwardness and discomfort, slow disgust and anger pushing her to let it go. She realized he was waiting for her answer, she picked her jaw up off the floor and nodded slowly.

  Temate smiled at her and continued. “Alright then, put simply. I’m polygamous, love to me is not a finite resource and it's something I feel for people very strongly. In varying ways. Time is the restriction. I don’t want a harem, or even many partners, but I want two or three partners who I can love and care for. Who I have time for and who have time for and care for each other.

  “At the same time, I want them to be degenerate freaks like me who are into all sorts of weird things. I’m experimentalist, I have very few limits and I also like to make sure all parties enjoy themselves thoroughly. Which means I py off people’s fetishes as much as possible, even if they’re not something I’m necessarily into. So long as it’s not a line for me.”

  He paused and looked at her. She looked at him and after a minute she realized he was waiting for a response, a reaction of some kind. Her mind was reeling with all the information, she could feel her heart beating rapidly, her body flushing. She smiled, as broad as she could make herself go, which wasn't hard with how crazy she was feeling right now.

  “Honestly, I’m not sure if I’m poly or not, I don’t necessarily want to be romantic with another person… I don’t think, but I do want to share my partner… For various reasons.” She blushed, which she realized she hadn’t really ever stopped doing. It was so strange admitting to that and somehow knowing she wouldn’t be judged. There were no signs of the awkwardness or discomfort she always saw people hiding.

  “I think… I think I’d be okay with that, in fact if you had another woman, someone who maybe… I dunno, I’d be into a lot, there’s a lot I can imagine and think about.” Toni stopped and tried to straighten her face, to reduce her blush and look as serious as she could. She knew she wasn’t entirely successful but she looked Temate directly in the eyes.

  “I want to try. You’re experienced, I want you to teach me. To help me... experiment. I know it’s pretty quick, we just met but I feel comfortable with you. I know the risks and I’m okay with them. Plus, if you fuck me over.”

  Toni held up her hand and a small metal object appeared in it. A bullet.

  “I can always just shoot you.” She smiled and after a few seconds Temate started ughing. It was slow at first, a quiet rumble which shook the man, it grew quickly until it was a bellowing ugh.

  “Big shift from ‘fight to not fight’, isn’t that?” He asked her, a big smile on his face.

  “Nah, I make an exception for scumbag guys who fuck me over, it’s the whole reason I learned to shoot and fight in the first pce.” Her grin grew to match his.

  “Alright then, let's talk about the important stuff. Boundaries, limits, likes, dislikes, your safewords…” Temate trailed off, going over some things in his head.

  “Safewords as in plural?” Toni was confused by that comment.

  “Mmm, oh yeah, I like to have three safewords, a green word, yellow word and red word. Pretty straightforward. Green safewords are used in scenes when you really like something and want to make it clear you want more of that. These are words you say often when you’re enjoying yourself.”

  “Like Daddy?” Toni added helpfully, a thought struck her suddenly and she grinned. She'd just had a stupid, mad idea, so not her, but in the moment one of her [Powers] was telling her something. She listened.

  Temate coughed a bit, “Yes, like that. Yellow words are for when you don’t like something, but don’t want to stop sex or scene. Important for if you’re just not feeling something you normally do, etc. Easy way to signal to do something else.”

  He was looking up as he thought, having leaned back on the couch. Toni slooooowly slid off her couch seat and began quietly, oh so quietly, crawling towards him.

  “Right, that does sound important.” She said, Temate continued on after nodding to acknowledge her statement. Good.

  “Red words are the ones everyone knows, a word you’d never use during py, which is meant to stop everything because what’s going on is upsetting, painful, bad, or you just don’t want to continue for any reason. Invoked it stops everything and we head straight to aftercare, and if you need it discussion.” Temate looked down and over to where Toni was sitting moments before. Toni grinned, seeing his eyes cross in confusion.

  “Down here, Daddy.” She purred, he looked down and she saw his eyes go wide, then narrow with a look that gave her shivers.

  “We have important things to discuss, Toni.”

  “Mmmm, we do, but can’t we do that while I have a… snack, Daddy?” She hummed as she slid her face against the inside of his thighs. She didn’t know what had gotten into her, but she knew what she wanted right now. There was a warmth in her, a weird confidence she’d only ever had from behind a screen before.

  Temate thought for a long while. She continued softly leaning against his leg as she watched him. Then his hand came up to her chin and held it firmly as his eyes drew her in further. “As long as you keep answering, I don’t see why not.”
