  "The cutting was just to slow things down. Sometimes things get loud, big, you know? And I have to do something to make it quiet."

  "Like I said, the place you went to the other day. It was quiet, peaceful, amazing. We call that subspace. There are some subs who can get there with a word from their master -- their Dom."

  "No way."

  "Yes, way. The men I know who can do it have been together for a good while and are very in tune with each other. It usually takes more effort, even for long-term couples. But most masters know how to get their subs there eventually." Harrison leaned in and kissed him. "If you trust in it, it's the most symbiotic, most rewarding relationship you'll ever have."

  He wasn't sure about that. Hell, he was voted least likely to be in a relationship for any time at all.

  "One day you'll trust me enough."

  "I trust you. I sleep with you, don't I?"

  "Yes. And you trusted me enough to let me put my hand inside you." Harrison smiled. "And we got you to that place, didn't we?"

  Giles twined his fingers with Harrison's. "I'm not one hundred percent sure what that all was, but I know it was because of you. I know it helped."

  "And we'll do it again. And then again and again. I'm going to be here for you. I'm going to help you. We're going to make a beautiful, wonderful life together."

  "Promise?" He could believe in that, no matter about the rest at all.

  "Yes, Giles. I promise."

  The lights went down, and Giles leaned into Harrison's side. "That works for me."

  End.
