Freedom

Kim's pov:

Thankfully, he finished a little more than half of the smoothie before turning away.

I kept the glass back before shifting him around until he was comfortable.

"You can let go. We're right here. We'll take care of you and keep you safe. It's ok." I kissed his forehead gently.

I could see as he slipped and his eyes lost focus.

We'll need to be careful from now on.

I can't believe I didn't think this could happen last night.

I should've known.

Anything even remotely sexual makes him panic since that day. Even too deep of a kiss sets him off.

Of course, waking up in a mess like that would send him spiralling.

I looked at Chay when I felt him squeeze my arm.

"It's not your fault, p'. You didn't know that would trigger him this badly. You just wanted to make sure he was taken care of over cleaning up. You told me before, didn't you? We all make mistakes sometimes. Doms are no exception. We can learn and make sure it doesn't happen again." He spoke softly.

I sighed and nodded.

Vegas's pov:

I blinked slowly as I felt myself coming out of the fog that enveloped my mind.

I frowned when I saw the living room ceiling above me.

Did I fall asleep on the couch?

I tried to think back.

I don't remember anything after laying down here.

It's all unfocused and foggy.

"Back with us?"

I looked toward the right when I heard Chay's voice.

I didn't realize until then that I was laying with my head on his lap.

"Did I fall asleep here last night?" I asked softly.

"You don't remember anything?" He asked back, surprise evident on his expression.

I tried to think back again.

I remember a calming feeling at some point. Kim's voice whispering soothingly in my ear. But those are fragmented memories.

And then...

I remember being really scared at some point...? As if... As if I was back with pa in that hotel room... But... Not long after, that safety was back.

I looked at him and shook my head.

"Ark texted p'Kim about you dropping out here by yourself so he came out and brought you to the bedroom." He sighed.

What?

That little...

I told him not to interrupt!

"We had finished the scene and were about to start cleaning up at that point. He didn't interrupt anything." He assured, seemingly noticing my panic.

Oh.

But still-

"It was all good. We cuddled together and slept. But you panicked when you woke up in the mess. It took us a whole hour to calm you down and assure you that nothing happened. That we just cuddled together and slept." He added.

So that's what that was...

"It's almost noon now. We thought you won't come back down until evening at the earliest." He looked at the clock on the wall.
