Desmond Chase is once more making sure that everyone needs are being met, and questioning just how aware Dave is of all the trappings that come with being with kinky
partners. Archer thinks things are fine, if only they could all spend a little more time together.
The solution appears to be a night of showing Dave what they all do, an event that will take place in the fire station Dave and Archer are renovating and living in. It sounds like a good idea, but can Dave deal with seeing Archer and Wyatt together? Can Desmond find a way to meld the two sides of his own personality? How will Dave deal with
having all the bondage and domination brought into his home? Find out in the second of this Chaser series.
Sample
"Dave tells me that the renovations are going well." Desmond Chase leaned back in his chair and looked at his lunch companion. He and Archer McBain were sitting in the sunshine outside of a small cafe. It wasn't a typical luncheon place for either of them, but it was a Sunday afternoon and both Wyatt and Dave were at Des' home watching a football game together. Des had thought that it would be a good time for him and Archer to touch base about their respective relationships and the comfortable tangle they had made them into. It had been several months since they had started playing with each other's partners, and since communication was key to keeping things on an even keel, it was probably time that there was a meeting of the minds.
Sometimes the meeting of the minds was a group event, all four of them bringing up points for discussion and sometimes the gathering happened in pairs instead of as a foursome. That was perfectly all right with Desmond, who liked a certain level of intimacy in all of his relationships. What he had with Archer could most accurately be described as a close friendship, which was not precisely the same as what he had with the other two men. Wyatt was his lover, his partner, and his submissive. Dave was a pleasurable romantic entanglement with rapidly deepening feelings. Archer was a peer and an understanding friend. All were valued and respected.
In response to the question about the renovations, Archer nodded. "Yep," he said happily. "Finally. It's taken us a long time to get the fire station to this point."
Des nodded and reached for his glass of wine, his sandwich already half gone. "Does that mean that you're moving out of your condo and into the fire station soon?"
"Very soon." Archer sounded relieved as well as pleased. "A matter of a week or so, really. It's gotten to the point where I can't afford to run both places." He took a bite out of his sandwich and chewed, then offered Des an apologetic look. "I'm sorry I kept Dave from you so much the last few weeks."
"It was only to be expected. I didn't really think that you would be able to renovate the inn for your work, renovate your own home, and still have time to date on the weekends." Des gave him a smile. "Wyatt has missed you rather a lot."
Archer blushed ever so slightly. "I've missed him, too," he admitted. "It's not that Dave and I haven't enjoyed our time together, but I've grown pretty fond of Wyatt. I trust he's been well?"
"He's been very well." It was, more or less, Desmond's job to make sure that Wyatt was well, so he was sure about the fact. "It's not as if you haven't spoken with him, though."
"No, I know." Archer nodded and picked up his own glass, taking a sip before continuing. "We've spoken frequently. It's just not the same as seeing him, you know?"
"I know," Des agreed with a knowing nod. "I've spoken with Dave regularly. I still miss him." He laughed softly and shook his head. "Listen to us. Talking as if we haven't seen them in weeks when it's only been a matter of days."
"Sure, but you have to admit that the time we've spent together has hardly been full of fun and laughter." Archer leaned close, his arms folded on the table. "Not that things have been horrible, don't get me wrong. But quick conversations, stolen kisses, and the occasional football game on the TV isn't exactly what the four of us had intended for each other, is it?"
"No, it isn't." Des nodded and leaned forward as well. "That's one of the things I wanted to talk to you about."
