"Remi?" I hear Austin's voice calling from the playroom and I close the drawer and head to the hallway.
"I'm coming, baby." When I open the door, he's still laying down, but his eyes are open. It's only been an hour at most he was asleep. I sit on the edge of the bed and run my fingers through his hair. "What's up, Aussie?"
He moves so his head is in my lap and his arms wrap around my waist. His eyes flick up at me and I smile wider. He's been through so much in his life, but in moments like these he looks so innocent. "I missed you. I wake up and just wanted to give you a hug."
I look at the watch on my wrist. It's close enough to five o'clock. "Do you want to sleep a little more or come downstairs and help me make dinner?"
"What's for dinner?" He closes one eye, like my answer depends if he's going to go back to sleep or not. I smile and let out a short chuckle.
"Mac and cheese and chicken nuggets tonight," I say. "Daddy needs to go to the store and get some food tomorrow. Tonight we'll have a yummy, easy dinner."
"Chicken nuggets?" Aussie sits up and smiles. I note the imprint on his cheek from the Rabbit. "I want nuggets."
"Well then, let's get you downstairs and we'll put them in the oven."
I help him to his feet and then trail after him, watching the way his body waddles just slightly while wearing the diaper. He's barefoot and I quickly reach into one of the drawers in the playroom for a spare pair of socks before following him downstairs. "Baby, put these on your feet so they don't get cold, okay? Then you can join me in the kitchen."
"Okay," he says easily and I kiss him before I walk off. Less than a minute later, he's in the kitchen beside me, helping line the nuggets in perfect rows on the pan. He's careful to put it in the oven. I give him a kiss on his nose, making his whole face wrinkle up with happiness. I help him hop up on the counter beside me while I make the mac and cheese. He pours the noodles in once the water is boiling and between taking turns stirring it so nothing sticks, I kiss him. With him sitting on the counter, he's slightly taller than me and the change in angle is nice. His hands go to the back of my head and hold me close.
I could stay in this moment for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.
"Thisisawesome!"Austinsays by my side. He isn't wrong.
Dreamland has been transformed into an oasis of all things Little. There are streamers of red and green, twinkle lights and colored lights hung on the walls. There's a Christmas tree and a Menorah alike to celebrate the different holidays. One side of the room has been replaced by at least four tables filled with food, drinks, and dessert. I'm honestly impressed.
"It is awesome," I agree. "Come on, let's get you changed first, okay?"
We walk into the empty changing room and I lock the door behind us. Austin walks directly to the changing table and waits for me to rummage through our bag. I brought my own clothes to change into, something more comfortable than the jeans I wore since the weather finally broke and we got some snow flurries earlier today. I strip out of my clothes quickly first, letting Austin stand there and watch. His eyes move continuously over my body but it doesn't make me self conscious. I'm not the most built or have a six-pack anymore but Austin has made it abundantly clear that he loves me, physically and emotionally.
"Austin?" He looks up into my eyes as I pull on my gray sweatpants. They're loose but my cock is starting to react under my Boy's gaze. I ignore it, adjusting myself in my boxers. He's only working a half day tomorrow and then we're both off for a long weekend. I can wait.
"Yes Daddy?" His voice is sing-song and it's so fucking cute. I can't get enough of him when he's like this. I can't get enough of him in general, but especially when he's in a good mood likethis. I was worried about him over the weekend, focusing on every detail of his, looking for signs that he wasn't telling me something. I chalked it up to just work stress and made sure that I had fresh cookies for him when I picked him up on Monday.
"Can you go over the rules again with me for tonight?"
I'm aware that ninety-nine percent of Austin's time has been spent in the comfort of one of our homes. He's only been to the club once before and hasn't been around any other Littles between. While I don't care about his language when we're at home, a lot of Mommies and Daddies don't like their Littles to use bad words. I went over this with him on the way over, but I want to make sure he remembers.
"One, no bad words. Those are only for when we're at home." My dick swells a little more at his use of the word 'home' so casually. I know it's too soon to ask him to move in, but damn if I want to. He steps closer to me and holds up his fingers. "Two, I have to be nice to others and if someone is being mean, I tell my Daddy. Three, come to you if I need to go to the bathroom or if I use my diaper."
"You're such a good boy," I say and pull him in for a sweltering kiss. Our tongues brush against each other's and I tilt his chin up slightly to deepen the kiss for only a moment. "I love you, Aussie."
"I love you, too, Daddy." He steps back and puts his hands on the hem of his shirt. His eyes dart to the door. "Can I go play now?"
I grab his stuff and we get him changed into his holiday clothes quickly. He's wearing a pair of sweats as well, but his are a faded green color. The shirt is a matching green and has a koala bear wearing a Santa hat. I found it on a site while thinking of present ideas for him and decided that he had tohave it tonight after he said he wanted to come. I'm glad it came in the mail on time. I put my own shirt on, a plain black one, and gather our things up to put in one of the lockers.
"Go play and have fun. I'll be over with Rachel, okay?" Aussie nods and gives me a quick kiss before heading off to join in one of the activities. I watch him, making sure he's okay with being around this many people, but he slips right in at the block building station. I keep my eye on him once I'm settled at the couches with the others.
"Long time no see," Garrett says with a smile. "Your Boy seems to be a lot more settled since last time you came."
"He is," I say with a soft smile, looking at Aussie playing once more. I turn back to Garrett. "Who are you with tonight? You changed your mind last minute to show your ugly mug."
He's a couple years younger than me, just turned thirty-six in August, but he's been a Daddy since his college days. He owns his own business and is richer than he lets on. His house is twice the size of mine and he has the most spoiled pittie pup ever. He's about ten years from retiring and passing the business down to someone else. I'm far from that, unfortunately, but we bonded over the pains of growing and owning a business as well as our mutual kinks we enjoy. I haven't seen him with the same Boy often and I don't know if he really wants to settle down or not.
"I'm unattached tonight," Garrett says. "Someone dragged me out here."
"Hi, that's me. I'm someone." Rachel waves her hand like we can't see or hear her. I glance back to look at Austin before returning to the conversation. He's still at the building blocks and he's working with two others to build what I'm thinking is supposed to be a castle. I can't wait for him to get the castleplayhouse I bought him, along with the dragon I promised too. Am I spoiling him? Yes. Do I care? Not in the slightest. "It's selfish, really. I needed someone to help us get the room ready and he happened to mention he was suddenly free tonight."
"That's her way of saying she roped me into it unknowingly."
