Remi and Austin are coming over for lunch, but I can come pick you up afterward.

Orion

Do I get a reward if I get all my stuff done before then?

Screw this. I’m no stranger to sexting but I want to hear Orion saying these things. I call him and he picks up on the second ring.

“You know,” Orion says when he answers. I can hear that he’s half distracted, but there’s also a hint of sarcasm. “Some people prefer to keep the texts going for future indulgences.”

I shake my head and ignore the comment in lieu of saying what I actually want to. “And you know that any urges like that, all you have to do is ask.”

“I would take you up on that offer, but I have to work tomorrow and your place is a bit further away. I’d have to start walking at, like, four in the morning to get there on time.”

“Or I can just take you to work?” I say it as if it's the obvious answer, because it is. I’d never expect him to walk that far.

I'm met with silence on the other end for a moment. "I'm sorry. I don't know exactly what we're doing here or how to go about life outside of the scenes."

I lean my elbows on the counter, holding the phone with one hand and tapping my fingers against the counter with the other. "What do you want to happen? I would like to help you with everything, all aspects of your life, if you'll let me. If that's too much, I'm happy with just giving you a space to relax and take care of you physically."

There is hesitation again. I know we talked a bit over dinner last night. After giving him the bottle, I made sure he talked and explained what he thought. He explained how it cleared his mind, for those twenty-odd minutes he didn't think about anything, didn't worry about anything he had going on. He assured me that there was no regret and he would like to do it again, but needed to think.

When he finally does speak, his words are slow and precise. "I don't know if I'm comfortable giving over everything right away, but I definitely want to continue this. Us."

"I'm good with that," I say. I want to offer again to help him with everything, to take away all the worries in his life— and I know he has a lot. I feel Riley's head nudge against my calf and look down to see my pup smiling up at me. "Can I come pick you up this afternoon?"

I hear Orion sigh, but it sounds sarcastic. "I guess you can come whisk me away in your heated seats and big beds."

"And not a single thing about me," I comment. I'm smiling like an idiot, flirting with my Boy over the phone on a Sunday morning. "I see how it is. You're just using me."

"I can definitely use parts of you," Orion says with a sultry tone. He laughs when I cough to hide my surprise.

"You do have that odd fascination with my dick," I finally say. I know we were in the heat of the moment at the gym and after breakfast yesterday, we got interrupted. I hear him scoff through the phone.

"I like to try different things." There's a short pause and I hear some rustling over the line. It isn't until I hear a small sigh that it clicks what he's doing.

"Orion."

"Hmm?" Yes, he's definitely jerking himself off right now.

"Stop what you're doing," I direct.

"What am I doing?" he asks innocently. "I'm just trying to sort through some… Bills." His breath hitches with the last word.

"Orion." My voice goes deeper and more stern. "I'm not playing. You don't get to play with yourself unless I say so."

"Seriously?" He sounds surprised, but also a bit disappointed.

"Yes, baby." I soften my tone and move to lean my back against the counter between the stove and pantry. "Daddy will take care of you tonight, okay?"

"That's not fair," he pouts. His words make me smile. I take a moment before I respond.

"I promise, honey, I'll make it worth it. Save that for me, okay?"

"Yes, Daddy." The word brings my own dick back to attention. I palm myself, but if I'm making him wait, I can wait myself.

"Good boy, Orion. I'll call you in a bit, okay? Go get your errands done. If you need me before then, call me okay?"

"I will," he says. "I'll see you in a little bit."
