"I'm trying to teach you restraint. And meet you half way," Simon laughed. He even folded his arms over his chest as if to prove that he had more of that restraint than did Peter and could indeed use this for a lesson. "I can hold you without making anyone suspect. Or I have a wide selection of gags if you get really nervous."

Owning more than one probably was overkill. And he did rarely use them. Socks and underwear worked just as well after all and it was one less thing to clean.

"Ball's in your court, Petey." He figured he could say that again without being scolded.
