Nix lifted his arms to place his hand on Evan’s knee and that was when Aries caught the blue fabric peeking out from under his sleeve. Reaching out, Aries pushed the cuff up in curiosity.
He hadn’t realized that Nix’s wrists were tied together. Nix was able to move his hands and function like it was something he was used to. And by his grin maybe he was.
“You aren’t the only one engaging tonight,” Nix told him.
“You’re tied up? And like it?” Aries questioned.
“I love it,” Nix drawled. He glanced up at Evan, who looked from Aries and back to Nix before giving a sharp nod.
“Only what he wants to know,” Evan said. “Don’t push it.”
“Okay!” Nix wiggled around to face Aries while dropping his hands into his lap. “Now I’m just guessing here so feel free to correct me if I get something wrong. But part of the attraction to age play is Vin taking care of you?”
He couldn’t believe he was having this conversation with his brother, but Aries managed to nod. Nix had always been direct and never minced words. If this conversation was going to happen, Aries wasn’t surprised that it was going to be with Nix.
“Same here,” Nix said. “Instead of being a little who likes to be cared for by his Daddy like you, Evan ties my hands together so I’m dependent on him. I can do things on my own with my hands like this, but I usually don’t. It’s just weird to not have my hands tied together so I asked Evan to do it.”
“So when your hands are tied Evan takes care of you?”
Nix nodded. “He feeds me, takes care of me, even takes me to the bathroom and holds my co—”
Evan growled.
“What?” Nix asked, trying to hide his smile. “He asked.”
“He didn’t ask that,” Evan corrected.
No, Aries didn’t want to know what Evan did with his brother’s cock.
“Anyway,” Nix said with a roll of his eyes. “Evan usually ties up more than my hands, but this gets me my fix when we can’t fully engage.”
“Okay.” It was possibly the only way that Evan could get Nix to remain still. Not that Aries wanted to think too much about that. In fact, Aries was tired of thinking at all. “Present!”
Nix laughed and nudged the box. “Enough talk about kinks. At least until Gem gets here.” He cackled. “You open your presents now.”
It was easier to concentrate on the pile of gifts than think about either of his brother and their kinks. Yeah, those were thoughts that Aries did not want in his head when he went to sleep that night.
Aries ripped open the wrapping paper, much to Nix’s delight.
He tossed the wadded-up paper at Nix as he stared at the plastic around a hockey figure. Aries gave an excited shout before grabbing the next present, which was soft in his hands.
Nix leaned against the side of his bed with Evan’s hand around his neck holding him in place as Aries opened package after package.
There were new stuffies to introduce to the ones that he’d left back in his apartment once he got home. Enough hockey figures in their colorful gear to make up two teams. And yes, Aries had noticed that both his Daddy and Evan were two of the figures before Nix had pointed it out.
Nix had gone on a rant about how he’d had to buy the NHL figures from before their league was set up since the PAHL didn’t have action figures of them. He’d also vowed to make sure that was corrected before next Christmas.
Aries didn’t care. He had enough to make up his very own hockey games. Of course, his Daddy’s team would win. HisDaddy was the best hockey player ever. Well, maybe not better than him. Aries was the best ever. Vin was better than everyone else though.
He’d also received a new pacifier, some children’s books, bath ships, and the cutest dinosaur outfit ever.
It was all so much but it was perfect. Perfect for Aries and perfect that Nix picked it all out for him. Aries pushed the gifts off his lap before launching himself at his brother.
Nix grunted and yelled as Aries accidentally elbowed him as Aries straddled his lap. He peppered Nix’s face, making his brother squirm and laugh.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” Aries chanted.
Nix had to loop his arms around Aries’s head to hold him. He pushed and forced Aries to stop his kisses. “You’re welcome! Now stop slobbering all over me!”
