A shiver of anticpation ran through him both at the slight objectification of being put on display and at the fact she was inviting him to express his preferences on how but not giving him a choice about being displayed.
Which was totally as it should be and he wouldn't have it any other way.
Choices were hard, though, when he was on his way down into the mindset of being her good, well-behaved boy, and he had to think hard about what his preferences were, especially since this wasn't an ordinary situation. He wanted to be good for Nora, but he also didn't want to try in any way to drive a wedge between her and Andrei either.
"I think a lot depends," he said slowly, lifting his eyes to hers, "on whether he's likely to get at all jealous. And whether you want him to be. I think, for starters, I should be able to see him, so I can gauge his reaction to things."
Even though he'd often prefer not being able to see his audience, if he had one. It made it easier to slip into subspace. But tonight, he didn't want to slip too far down.
