Jake's Thief by A.C. Katt

what he does. In the past he’s only spanked the house subs, but with his own boy, I don’t know. I can’t tell you because I don’t want to mislead you.”
    The rest of the ride was pretty silent until Greg noticed Davey enjoyed looking at the flowers in front of the houses along the road. “You know Danny owns a nursery. Why don’t you ask him to show it to you? I can see you like flowers.”
    “If we have time this weekend, maybe I will.” Davey smiled. He was having a very good time.
    The cat slept in his carrier all the way to Johnny’s. “I’m going to have to vacuum the car when I get home.”
    “There isn’t a speck of dirt on the floor, I looked,” Davey told him.
    “I know, but there’s cat dander in the air and Cisco’s allergic. He almost never rides in my car, but if I forget to vacuum with the allergen filter, he’ll be sneezing for days.” Greg chuckled.
    “Why didn’t you tell me? I would have ridden with someone else.” Davey was horrified that his new friend would have extra work because of him.
    “I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to, I sensed that we were a lot alike and wanted to see if I was right. I was.”
    Davey laughed. “I’m so glad to have friends. I never did. Now in four days I may have a new boss and seven new friends. It all happened so fast it made my head spin, but it’s all good.” He stuck his finger in the cat carrier and petted the cat.
    “What are you going to name him?” Greg asked.
    “I’ll let Jake do that.”

    Saturday at the Golf Course
    The Doms were at the Nineteenth Hole having lunch when Jake asked the group, “So what do you think of my boy?”
    Bear lifted an eyebrow. “Is he yours?”
    “No, but I haven’t focused on bringing him to hand yet. I need honest opinions. Do you think he’s a sub?” Jake asked, a little tentatively for the hotshot lawyer he was.
    “I think he’s a sub. I recognize some of Greg’s characteristics in him. Both of them are compulsively neat. If you don’t watch it, he’ll work his fingers to the bone trying to please you and he’ll wear himself out. That’s what Greg did until I put my foot down. I got a housekeeper in five days a week, but he still straightens up after her.” Cisco took a bite of his hamburger. “This is a guilty pleasure. Greg wasn’t too happy with my cholesterol numbers. I’m going to turn into a creature that flaps its wings underwater because all I get are chicken and fish. I can’t gainsay him because he’s right. I hate when they’re right. It’s almost as bad as when they’re pissed.”
    “Nothing is as bad as when they’re pissed,” Bull said. Jake’s eyes moved around the table as six more heads nodded.
    “You asked about Davey?” Bear turned to Jake. “He’s a natural submissive.”
    “I agree with Bear.” Reed took a sip of his beer. “He followed the other boys’ lead as if he had been doing it all his life.”
    “I can’t railroad him. He’s been making his own decisions all of his life. There’s been no one there for him,” Jake said grimly. “That bastard Danvers left him at the firm knowing that the other partners would hang him out to dry when he left. He didn’t say anything because on the off chance they didn’t, he would still have the best paralegal in Manhattan when he returned.”
    “All the more reason he would enjoy relaxing and letting someone else make the decisions for him,” Gary observed. “He doesn’t seem to be emotional like my Danny, but I think there is a volcano of need under that dark blond head. Those eyes tell a tale of loneliness and deep sadness.”
    “He isn’t oblivious like Johnny, but he strikes me as someone who needs to be shaken out of their routine. I can’t believe what you told me about the twenty bucks. Having your stomach growling in hunger and saving money for subway fare in case you get a job interview shows a great deal of discipline. Maybe it will rub off on the rest of
