"I'm so sorry. I'll try to remember not to suck your brains out," Stephen answered, "but it's not fine. I should know better. This is not a matter of agreeing or not thinking important, or whatever... it bothers you, and I shouldn't do it. That's it. If there is a day when it doesn't affect you, then fine."
He turned to his side, shifting down so he could look at Adrian. "You know most subs are trained, whether by their Masters or others, it doesn't matter. They learn about how to kneel and now to stand and even how to answer. You... you give the right answer without any training, even if they aren't as formal as they could be, but the meaning is the same, and yeah, see if we went to the club Sean would probably bitch at me because I'm not doing more to train you, but I actually like it this way. I like to know that it's you."
He leaned to kiss Adrian. "You don't hate me, and if you wait just a few days, you'll have your answer."
