A submissive as responsive as Daniel is a gift. He can’t wait to get Daniel home and in his bed. On his knot. “I’m expecting a little bit of fighting, sweetheart. Don’t worry about it. Sometimes, submissives have to be shown what they need. Instincts don’t always kick in. That might happen a lot with you. It might be very difficult, at first, to give yourself to me as much as we both need you to. Your handlers spent a lot of time making you believe things that weren’t true, teaching you to fight when you shouldn’t, and doing what they could to confuse your natural instincts. Whenever it’s difficult for you, you have to try to remember that it will get better, that I do know what’s right, and I want what’s best for you. And that it isn’t your fault it isn’t easy. It’s difficult for every submissive in different ways, but because of your experiences it’ll likely be especially difficult for you.”

Tears fill his eyes. “Why would you want to deal with that?” Daniel tries to push away from him. “I mean, I guess it’s your job. But why would you want that job?”

“Listen to me. I know we don’t know each other very well and this might be hard for you to believe. So pay attention and see if you think I’m lying: I want you and it has nothing to do with the job.”

“I don’t believe you,” Daniel says instantly.

He chuckles. “Well, alright. And that’s okay. Over time, you will. Getting weak for me, submitting for me and being on my knot, knowing you’re giving me pleasure and I’m taking care of you will convince you. When you find yourself too weak to struggle, unable to fight me, that’s how you know it’s right. That you’re just a little confused because of what they told you. That’s when you trust yourself as a submissive and you trust me as your Dom. Getting to show that to you is something I want.”

Daniel’s lower lip trembles and Liam kisses it. Then he presses a little closer, hauls him against his cock, and rubs against him. “See what you do to me? I need inside you.”

“G-good,” he whispers. “I believe that.”

It’s a start.
