“Check Theo’s car for me, Rid. Double check everything. Do a full overhaul.” Ridley salutes me, letting me know that he understands what I am asking from him.
He will do a full workup on the car to make sure that it is safe for Theo to drive.
Walking Theo into my warm office, he shivers behind me, the heat hitting his body. Leading him over to the sofa, I motion for him to sit, which he does and I grin, liking that he takes direction well.
Once he is seated, I study him sitting in my office, while he looks around the room taking in his surroundings, and I like that. He doesn’t realize that him taking an interest in my office is a plus for me; I like seeing him wanting to find out more about me, in such a simple act.
Without asking, I make him a hot cocoa, because come on, it is Christmas and it is fucking cold. Everyone likes hot cocoa at this time of year. Looking over my shoulder, I catch him watching me, so I send him a smile, which earns me one in return.
There’s something about the way he relaxes into the sofa— he has removed his hood, and I smile seeing his hair is messed up, like he has run his fingers through it a few times.
Walking back to him with two steaming cups of cocoa, I hand him one.
“You need to drink this and warm up.”
“Thanks,” he mutters, taking the mug from me.
Taking the seat next to him, I make sure I am close enough so that my thigh brushes against his. I want a reaction from him but without scaring him. When he doesn’t inch away, I grin behind my mug.
Sipping from my cup, I watch his lips touch the rim of his, and I bite back a groan. I picture his lips around my cock, or River’s while I fuck him— either of them.
“Theo, I wanted to talk to you about the other night. When you hurt your hand.”
He says nothing, just nods, but I see curiosity in his eyes.
“I am going to dive right in and explain what River said, about me being a Daddy Dom. It makes me fucking happy to take care of my partner, both in and out of the bedroom. I get off on pleasing people sexually, but I also get turned on making sure that they are well taken care of. Does that make sense?”
With wide, dark eyes that show his interest, he nods, licking his lips before he speaks.
“I do.”
“Good. I have been this way for years, ever since I found out what did it for me. Sex clubs helped, but they have becomeboring, and if I am being honest, I would like to settle down with someone, or after recent events… two people.”
“Me and River?” he inquires.
I nod. “Yes, both of you bring something out in me that I have never felt before. My Daddy side reared its head when I had the both of you in the room.”
Theo doesn’t reply right away; he just sits there looking at me like he is trying to work out what I am all about, but he will only know that by getting to know me. I am an open book most of the time, but I know what to share, when, and with whom.
Being burned in the past by lovers is something I never want to revisit again, but I know deep down that Theo and River would never hurt me, not intentionally anyway.
My past is the reason I've slept with men and then walked away—it was easier on my heart and soul. But getting older has a way of showing you that you’re wasting your life if you keep running. At some point, you have to decide which path you truly want to take, and for me, I choose my boys. If they will have me.
“So you want to be with both River and me?”
I blink away my thoughts, focusing on the man sitting next to me again.
“I do, baby. I know that this is not something you have done before, so with you taking me as Daddy, and you and River being my boys, I will show you everything that you need to know about pleasing both me and River, if this is something you would be interested in. No pressure, Theo. I may look a little rough around the edges, but I do have respect for people’s decisions.”
“How do you know that I have not done something like this before?” His voice has a little edge to it, making me grin.
“I like this feisty side to you, baby. The look on your face when both River and I were touching you. You looked like a virgin who had just walked into an orgy at a sex club. There is nothing wrong with waiting for someone special to be with; I getthat. Fuck me, I wish I had waited but that story is for another day. When you trust me more.
“Can I suggest a date? I want to take you out. Show you the town, or maybe we can do something else. Hell, Theo, I just want to spend time with you. We can get to know each other while we are out, and maybe that will convince you that I am not a bad guy.”
“River asked me out on a date also, and I said yes,” he informs me with a rush of words.
Brushing my thumb over the apple of his cheek, smiling at him, I take in his handsome features, and they make my dick stir. The closeness of him also makes me want to get him on his knees for me.
