When he didn’t move his hands, Jacob chuckled. Holding the undies in his left hand, he grabbed James’s wrist with his right. “I’m right here with you. You are safe.”
“Thick,” James whispered as he ran a finger over the band around one of the legs.
“I think we can both agree that you are an older little. I thought about picking up some training pants. Those didn’t seem like an everyday fit though. Maybe if you have a bad night or a hard shift, we can try them. For everyday play I think these fit my boy better.”
James sucked in a breath as he jerked his head up. His bright gaze met Jacob’s.
“What’s wrong?” Was Jacob pushing the boy too fast?
“You said your boy,” James replied.
“I did.” Jacob winced. “I’m sorry. I won’t do it—”
“I told Josh!” James nearly yelled.
“I’m sorry. What?” Jacob wasn’t sure what James was talking about.
“I told Josh about us,” James repeated. “My friend at the station that is a Daddy.”
Jacob nodded. “I remember you telling me about him.”
“We were talking about another friend,” James said. “And since Josh is a Daddy, we were talking about stuff and I told him. About us.”
“I fully support this,” Jacob said. “I think it is wonderful for you to have someone other than me to talk to.”
“You do?” James chewed on his bottom lip.
“Yes,” Jacob assured him. “I always want you safe and happy. Since I’m the caregiver in this…relationship, it is important for you to have support. I’ll support you. Other who can watch out for you are just as important.”
“Even if I talk about personal stuff with him?”
“Everything between a Daddy and a little is personal, don’t you think?” Jacob questioned.
“True.” James gave him a small smile.
“And Josh gave me some very good advice,” James told him.
“What advice?” He was curious. Jacob stood behind his words. One benefit of being part of a club was having other dominants and people who looked out for the boys.
“That I need to be able to communicate with you.”
“You do,” Jacob told him. “Communication is key between any Daddy and boy.”
“Communication is key in every relationship,” James retorted. “Brothers, co-workers, lovers.”
Jacob smiled. “That’s very true.”
James took a deep breath while wiggling a little on Jacob’s knees to face him better. “You’ve agreed to be my Daddy. To help me explore my little side which we can both admit that I have.”
He opened his mouth to respond but James shook his head.
“I’m a little. I want you to be my Daddy. Only you to be my Daddy,” James said firmly.
“Okay.” The word wasn’t enough to reflect how Jacob really felt. “I’d like that.”
“Except you get close then back away,” James accused.
“I…” Jacob cleared his throat. That was accurate.
