CJ1992: Jack.

DaddyJM: But you can call me Daddy.

Callum’s neck flushed up to his forehead and the tips of his ears. This was what he wanted, what he needed. This secret he’d kept for so many years. He’d learned more than his fair share about BDSM and kink in the time he’d spent working at Rapture, but his boss Landon had a fierce no fraternization with customers rule for the staff. Even if there had been someone Callum had been interested in at work, he couldn’t have done anything about it.

He rubbed again at the scratches on his wrist, glancing down and seeing that they’d mostly faded, now only a few pale while lines on his arm that looked like nothing more than dry skin. Jack’s request should have been triggering, the words of his date gone wrong last night still a loud echo in his head.

I’ll be your Daddy, boy.

Get on your knees and show me how much you appreciate that dinner I bought you.

Callum had resisted and had the battle wounds to prove it. But where the man last night had been menacing with his intent, Jack’s words read like radiant promises that reached into the deepest parts of Callum’s heart and made themselves at home.

CJ1992: Daddy

DaddyJM: Were you thinking again?

CJ1992: Yeah.

DaddyJM: Tell me.

CJ1992: I had a rough date last night.

DaddyJM: Are you okay, Callum?

CJ1992: I’m fine. I’m fine. Better now.

DaddyJM: Are you sure?

CJ1992: I am.

CJ1992: Are there other rules?

DaddyJM: There will be.

CJ1992: Why not yet?

DaddyJM: You’re new to this. Let yourself get used to one thing at a time.

CJ1992: Can I have just one more?

DaddyJM: Why are you so anxious?

CJ1992: Because I feel like this isn’t real, and rules will make it real.

DaddyJM: Do you want a tough rule or an easy rule?

CJ1992: Can I have one of each and then I can pick?

DaddyJM: In the future, Callum, this relationship will not be a negotiation, do you understand?

CJ1992: I understand.

DaddyJM: I understand, Daddy.

CJ1992: I understand, Daddy.

DaddyJM: Easy rule - You only refer to me as Daddy. Not as Jack. Tough rule - I control your orgasms.
