"How was work?" Katsuki asked with a pleasant smile almost as soon as Eijiro walked through the door.  Things had been surprisingly domestic lately. Katsuki had been treating him well, of course. However, the newly introduced submissive wanted to explore more into his Master's world.

"It went well, Master," Eijiro adopted using this title, hoping that the blond would recognize what he wanted. Katsuki had been perfect over the past week. However, his Master had no touched him since that last time. It had been an eye-opening experience for the young sub, but now he wanted more. He needed more. Never before had Eijiro experienced such a high -- or such blanketing comfort. He had dropped hints, being subtle about his desire to explore more and venture out into the club -- yet Katsuki seemed oblivious to his desires.

The blond placed a soft peck on the sub's lips before moving past him. Eijiro, having his mind specifically set on a goal, kicked his shoes off and quickly followed his dominant to his office. He quietly waited outside the door until Katsuki dropped to his office chair and began typing away on his laptop before Eijiro cautiously knocked on the open door frame.

"Yes?" Katsuki answered smoothly and the submissive boy bit his lip, rocking slightly on his heels.

"May I enter, Master?" He asked and noticed a quirk in his dom's brow. However, the blond waved him to enter and followed the boy's movements until Eijiro came to a halt beside the chair.

"Is something on your mind, pet?" Katsuki asked, turning his full attention to his submissive. The redhead nodded and gracefully sunk to his knees before resting his cheek on his Master's thigh. Katsuki's hand quickly moved to the back of his submissive's head and tracked through his long strands of hair.

"Now you're worrying me, boy. Do you have something to tell me?" His Master's voice carried his concern and Eijiro nibbled on his bottom lip. He did nothing wrong. In fact, he had been perfect over the past week. The dom never once had to discipline him again and Eijiro had tried extra hard to be on time during the week. He didn't complain about staying the weekend at Katsuki's place either. Yet, his Master refused to show him much attention other than the occasional order. It had begun to worry the sub. Was his Master no longer happy with him? Did he do something wrong?

"No, everything is fine," He replied softly and nuzzled his face into the blond's pant leg. The dom combed through the boy's hair for a few minutes before sighing and tugging his head back.

"Look at me and tell me what's on your mind. I can't read it, so speak to me, pet." The ash-blond ordered while holding his grip in the boy's hair. Eijiro shuddered under the command and his spine tingled with excitement. It had been a while since Katsuki had taken that tone with him and it felt so right having been told what to do.

"I -- I miss it, Master," He stuttered and although he wanted to speak confidently, his body betrayed him -- as well as his mind. Would his Master think him a fool for making such stupid requests? Was this even appropriate for a submissive? He should not question his dominant, but how else would Katsuki know what the boy wanted?

"You miss what, pet?" Katsuki slipt his hand to the boy's cheek and cupped his face. Eijiro blinked up at the piercing red eyes that held his gaze. He sucked in a sharp breath.

"Umm -- I miss t-this, I think. I don't know how to explain it, Sir," He mumbled and looked away feeling his cheeks warm with embarrassment. Katsuki was silent for a few seconds and it made his face burn

"Be specific, pet," The blond ordered lowly and Eijiro's eyes flicked up to his Master's face quickly gauging his reaction. The dominant was focused, looking down at him with a serious expression and the sub swallowed thickly.

"I -- Well -- I miss being with you like this, Sir. I m - miss being d - dominated," He whispered the last word and felt his face burn with shame. This was still so new but with Katsuki's hesitation towards him lately, it made the redhead feel out of place.  His small amount of confidence wavered the longer his Master seemed to shy away from the more serious parts of their relationship.

"Ah, I see," Katsuki hummed softly and hooked a finger under the boy's chin, pulling him up from his resting spot on his dom's thigh. Eijiro lifted his head and knelt up and Katsuki guided his lips to his. Soft, yet firm, lips captured his and the young submissive hummed happily into the kiss. Katsuki guided the kiss and swiped his tongue over the seam of his boy's lips, demanding entrance which Eiji offered up immediately. The redhead shivered and flicked his tongue happily against his Master's with a soft sigh.

"I think I understand, pet. I'm sorry if you've felt neglected this past week. I must admit, I am a little unsure about how to proceed with our relationship. I don't want to push you too far and you are still new with this. I don't wish to scare you or have you unhappy, Red," Katsuki explained and placed a shorter kiss over his lips once more. When the dom pulled away, Eijiro licked at his swollen lips and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I'm fine, Master. I know my safewords and we've been learning more about my limits, right?" He asked hopefully and was happy to see his Master nod in agreement.

"That's true, but still. I had only been looking out for you," He explained and Eijiro nodded quickly.

"I understand, Sir, But -- If I may -- I think I am ready for more. I trust you and -- and I want this. It's all I can think about during the week and we've yet to go to the club again. I can handle it with you. I -- I want to please you," He mumbled and looked away, suddenly feeling shy at his admission. However, the blond chuckled and pulled his face up again to meet his eyes.

"It's adorable hearing you confess your desire to please me, pet. If I had known you were so eager for more I would have begun easing more into our days together," Katsuki smirked and the submissive shifted on his knees to ease the slight sting from kneeling for so long. The blond noticed and motioned for him to stand. Once to his feet, Eijiro was pulled forward to straddle his Master's lap.

He jumped from the sudden contact but instantly sunk into his warmth and wrapped his arms around Katsuki's neck in a gentle hold. His Master's arms wound around his back and held him close.

"I just -- I have been feeling antsy lately. I thought you didn't want me," He admitted and Katsuki scoffed and nipped at the side of his neck, earning a shocked gasp from the redhead's parted lips.

"What will it take for you to believe that I am not going to toss you aside? You are sometimes so frustrating, pet," Katsuki scolded and the sub nuzzled his face into the blond's neck, inhaling softly and smiling at the expensive yet soft cologne his Master wore. 

Feeling brave, Eijiro pressed a soft kiss to the dom's throat, instantly tensing when Katsuki stiffened under him. However, when the blond didn't scold him, he bravely pressed his lips back to his flesh. This time letting the tip of his tongue trail over his jawline. Katsuki groaned and slid his hands to his submissives hips.

"If you want to play little games, pet, then I will indulge. On your knees," He snapped and Eijiro nodded quickly before slipping off his lap and onto his knees between his dominant's thighs. Katsuki rubbed his hand over the bulge between his legs and Eijiro swallowed thickly. His mouth watered and for some reason, he wasn't scared at all. His own member twitched and he looked down in shock -- he was already hard in his jeans.

"Excited, pet?" Katsuki teased and he looked up, noticing that his Master was already grinning at him and looking down at his growing erection. He fought the urge to cover himself with his hands and instead fixed his posture and waited for his next orders.

"Yes," He answered breathlessly and heard a soft hum from the man sitting in front of him.

"Look up at me," Katsuki ordered and he obliged quickly. The blond was unzipping his jeans and tugging his thick cock out. Eijirou's mouth watered and he wanted to reach out and touch him. He has never touched his Master before, let alone seen him naked. His member was pale as the rest of his body was, but was thicker than his own. The neatly trimmed patch of hair only added to the aesthetic and had a soft whimper parting his lips.

"I am going to let you pleasure me since you want so badly to be of use to me, sweetheart," Katsuki fisted his prick and tugged it slowly in front of the sub's face. A low whine escaped his body before he even realized and Katsuki grinned down at him.

"You look so good like this, Eijiro," The blond groaned and pumped himself for a few seconds, teasing the submissive's willpower. The redhead wanted nothing more than to lean forward just a few inches and run his tongue over the velvet flesh and taste his Master. For a brief second, he remembered who this was. This was Kat -- his best friend, Kat. His mouth ticked to the side in a half grimace but shoved that image away. Somehow the thought only made this whole thing better.

"Arms up," Katsuki commanded and he instantly moved his arms above his head. He felt hands grab at the fabric before his shirt was quickly pulled from his body. He dropped his arms back to his sides but the ash-blond dominant quickly grabbed one of the boy's hands and shoved the shirt into his fist.

"Hold this. Drop it if you need to safeword. Your mouth will be busy and I'd rather not have you accidentally bite my dick off," Katsuki grinned at the fierce blush that covered Eijiro's face.

"O - Okay," He stammered and gripped the shirt tightly in his fist. Katsuki placed the hand with the shirt onto his thigh so it was in his line of vision.

"Good boy. Open up," Katsuki smirked and gripped his length in his hand while the other carded through Eijiro's thick hair. He did not pull the submissive closer or force him to move, he just held onto his hair and stroked soothingly.

He parted his lips and soft puffs of hot breath brushed the blond's member and Katsuki groaned before pulled his boy closer and resting the tip on Eiji's bottom lip. Instantly, his tongue darted out and dipped into the slit, tasting his Master's essence and groaning softly. Katsuki's eyes darkened and a grunt of surprise had Eijiro spurring forward while flicking his tongue over the tip a few times until the blond was done with the teasing.

"Come here," Katsuki grunted and gently guided his boy forward and then motions for Eiji to continue. The submissive blushed but quickly ducked down and took his Master between his lips. He lowed himself until his mouth was full before he inhaled through his nose and sucked. Katsuki groaned loudly and Eijiro moaned softly at the sound of his Master's pleasure.

"Good boy, make me cum," Katsuki ordered and when he peeked up at the blond, Eijiro shivered at the lust and authority in his eyes. There was also a calmness that made him tremble. Katsuki knew what he was doing and that settled his nerves as he bobbed his head slowly while remaining eye contact with his Master. The dom cursed under his breath and stroked through his thick stands of red hair while he continued to hollow his cheeks and push down further.

"Careful," Katsuki warned and he blushed, pulling back to ask what's wrong. "Ah, ah, no. Get back to work, pet. I just don't want you taking too much," Katsuki explained and Eijiro shot him a look.

"I've sucked dick before," He snapped and then widened his eyes. "I'm sorry for snapping, Sir," He apologized quickly but relaxed when his Master stroked his cheek softly and pushed his thumb between his lips.

"I have no doubt that you have before, pet. However, I don't care about what you've done before. I care about now, and right now you need to do as I say. If you want to choke on my prick that badly then we will eventually work up to that. You will learn how to relax and take me down your warm little throat soon enough," Katsuki's expression was pensive and final, a small smirk on his lips.

"However, I was really enjoying what you were doing, sweetheart. So if you wouldn't mind," He motioned to his wet member and Eijoru blushed fiercely at his dirty words. The man didn't scare him. He had never before loved the idea of gagging on a dick before -- it brought back too many bad memories. However, the lustful words that dripped from his Master's lips had him leaking in his pants. He whimpered and moved back into position before taking Katsuki back into his mouth.

"Ah - Shit, that's it, baby." Katsuki practically cooed at him and he moaned around his member. The vibrations had the blond grunting and rolling his hips. " Use your hand for what won't fit," He ordered a little breathlessly and it boosted the boy's confidence some more. Not wanting to disappoint, he wrapped his hand around the base and gave small tugs while his tongue twisted around the tip before descending around his shaft and sucking harder with small bobs of his head.

"Christ, Eijiro! That's good, baby. I'm close," Katsuki warned and a soft mewl bubbled past his lips while he sucked and stroked with his tongue and fist. He gripped the shirt in his fist tightly, not ever wanting to drop it and have this amazing moment end. He had never felt so powerful before -- so cared for -- so safe. Katsuki gripped into his hair but didn't force him down, only held on while he dipped his tongue into the slit and moaned loudly when his dominant's body jerked.

"Fuck! Swallow, pet!" Katsuki growled and Eijiro shivered as he clamped his lips around the head and let his Master fill his mouth with his salty yet sweet release. He whined in his throat before pulling off and looking up at the man before him. Katsuki watched as his sub's eyes danced with amusement and joy and all but lost his mind when the redhead opened his mouth and showed off his treat before gulping it down.

"Fuckin' hell, Ei," Katsuki groaned and pulled him up into a deep kiss where he had no problem diving into his boy's mouth and tasting himself on his tongue.

"Did I please you, Master?" Eijiro asked with a cheeky grin and flushed cheeks. The ash-blond had to hold himself back from pulling his boy back to his lap and experiencing that all over again. Instead, he dipped down and kissed him. Eijiro submitted to the kiss and moaned softly, turning into a whine when Katsuki pulled away.

"Yes, sweetheart. You pleased me well, you cheeky thing," He teased and smiled when his boy let out a sweet giggle.

"Thank you, Master," Eijiro sighed happily and rested back on his knees for a moment to catch his breath while lying his cheek on Katsuki's thigh once more. He smiled and swore that Katsuki was a miracle worker. What was it about this man that made him feel so safe? He sighed and closed his eyes as his body relaxed. He couldn't be bothered with the throbbing between his legs. He somehow knew his Master would take care of him later. For now, he was sated -- totally happy.

"Anything for you, sweetheart,"
