Hunter swallowed like he’d been holding back his true thoughts but then nodded. “I think so. I mean, I want to be, but I’ve never had a Daddy, so I’m not sure I’m doing it right.”

Damn, he was cute.

“Whatever you’re doing is exactly right, sweetheart.” I felt bold enough to pull his hand to my lips so I could brush a soft kiss across it. “And we can learn together. I think that’s usually how it works, because everyone is different and every dynamic changes with the people in it.”

“By dynamic…” He spoke slowly and raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean, exactly?”

What did I mean? “Are you looking for a relationship, Hunter?”

He glanced at the penguin, then at his lap. “I’ve always wanted a relationship, but I’m okay with whatever you want.”

We had a lot of work to do if he still wasn’t comfortable giving me a straight answer. “Do you always sleep with that little guy?” I pointed to the plush penguin.

He went crimson but squeezed it tighter. “Yes.”

“It’s cute. What’s his name?”

“Flipper.” His face got even redder. “But sometimes I call him Flip.”

“Well, Flip looks nice and cozy as a sleep buddy. I can see why you like him so much.”

I wanted to reach out and ruffle his hair or pull him into my chest, but I didn’t. Not yet. “Did you wake up because you had a bad dream?”

“Oh.” Hunter seemed surprised by the question but then sighed. “Yeah, I guess.”

“Do you want to talk about it?” I twisted slightly so I could see him better.

He shrugged but didn’t make eye contact. “You were leaving me.” He finally looked up and caught my gaze. “I thought you’d hate me because I was a big baby. I couldn’t even tell you the truth without fucking crying about it.”

“Hey.” I slipped my hand behind his back and tugged him to my side. “I could never hate you.”

He stared at my hand, like he couldn’t believe it was actually touching him.

“I didn’t mean to upset you.” I was very careful with how I worded my thoughts, aware of the damage that could be done. “When you said you hadn’t done anything before, I thought maybe you were just responding to my interest in you, and I didn’t want to put any pressure on you.”

He frantically shook his head. “No, I just—” He squeezed the penguin so hard I thought the seams would split. “I thought you didn’t want me because I didn’t know what to do.”

I smiled. “You’re not a project, sweetheart. You’re a sexy young man I’ve been dying to kiss all night.”

His breath caught as his lips parted. “You have?”

I nodded and slid my hand up until it was behind his neck. “May I?”

“Yes, please.” His eyes went straight to my lips, and he nodded. “But, will you tell me how?”

My thumb brushed over his lower lip, and I smiled. “Just stay right like that. I’ll get it started, and when you feel like jumping in, just do what feels natural. You can’t really do it wrong.”

He was completely still as I slowly leaned in and closed my mouth over his lower lip. I held it for a fraction of a second before pulling back and doing it again. On the third time in, I licked across his lip and grazed his teeth before pressing both of my lips to his. That was all he needed.

Hunter’s tongue poked out and swept over mine, and a moment later, he dove right in, clinging to my shoulders. Our tongues danced together as they tasted and probed every angle.

My cock was hard and ready to burst out of my jeans, but I didn’t make a move for it. It was too soon.

Hunter needed to trust me, and so far, I hadn’t done a great job of giving him reason to.

“Wait.” He pulled back to catch his breath. “What do I call you?”

“What would you like to call me?” I had a few ideas, but I wanted him to get in the habit of asking for what he wanted.

“I want to call you Daddy.” His voice was tiny, but I heard it as clearly as I saw the desire shining in his eyes. “Is that okay?”

My throat was tight with emotion as the gravity of the moment settled on me. “It’s more than okay, sweet boy. It’s perfect.”

He grinned and came back at me, this time pressing his chest to mine and pinning me to the mattress.

“You promised to help me, Daddy.” His bare cock was rubbing on my thigh as he dropped messy kisses along my jaw. “Will you touch me?”

Fuck. Just a few minutes ago, I was definitely leaving before things got messy.

And now, I was wondering if I had a condom in my wallet.

I was pretty sure I didn’t. Maybe that was the best excuse I could give him without making him feel like I didn’t want him.

“Tell me what you thought about in the shower.”

He rutted even faster against me. “You were touching me with your hand…and telling me that I was your good boy.” He shuddered against me, and I wasn’t sure if he came. But he was still hard, so I decided to give him a hand.

“Tell me how you like it.” I captured his lips with mine and gently wrapped my hand around his dick so he could fuck into my fist. “What does Daddy’s boy want?”

A strained whimper escaped his throat as he proceeded to fuck my fist while experimenting with different methods of kissing.

He seemed to particularly like sucking my lower lip into his mouth and licking along the seam.

That was one of my favorites too. The smooth skin felt just like an asshole and always pushed me to the edge.

“Make me come. Fuck me. I don’t know, Daddy.” His body was tense as he jerked hard and filled my hand with hot cream. “I’m sorry, Daddy. I couldn’t wait.”

“Shh, shh.” I kissed his cheek and held him tightly to my chest. “You’re perfect. I hope that felt good, sweet boy.”

“So good.” His body relaxed against me, and he worked on getting his breathing steady. “What about you?”

“I’m good for now.” I didn’t release my hold on him. “I just want to hold you for a while.”

He nodded against my shoulder and sighed. “Thank you for coming over tonight.”

“Of course.” I remembered the awkward encounter with his mom and the message I was supposed to convey. “Your mom was leaving when I got here. She said she’d be back tomorrow.”

He just nodded. “‘Kay.”

Hunter’s thumb went up to his mouth, and he started rocking on top of me as if self-soothing.

There were dozens of glow-in-the-dark stars stuck up on the ceiling, and it felt like being outside on a starry night. It had been years since I’d fallen asleep next to someone and that hadn’t ended well.

But he wasn’t Hunter, and I’d changed too.

“So, this is really okay with you? That I like to be Little sometimes, I mean.”

I’d watched so many Daddies at the club as they pulled their boys into their laps and stroked their hair.

I’d wanted someone to call “baby” and to take care of.

“I love that about you. I’m looking forward to spending time with your Little side and learning how to take care of your needs.

” That brought up a few questions, but those could wait. Right now, I just wanted to hold him.

For a long time, we just lay there with the stuffed penguin smooshed between us. And when his breaths leveled out and I knew he was asleep, I closed my eyes and allowed myself a few moments of joy before I drifted off too.

Hunter wanted me and I wanted him. That was a start. Whatever happened tomorrow would happen, but for now, I was happy.

That was a new feeling for me.
