Sammy1995: Yes, Dad.
Ugh. Sometimes I hated Maverick. I’d accuse him of being a cocky shit, but he was the exact
opposite. Most of the time, he worried far too much about others and ignored his own needs.
Maverick0808: You only wish. But, not really, because I think you know who you want to be
your Daddy and you’re scared.
I shut down the chat window without responding. It amazed me that someone I had never met
knew me so well. When we’d first started chatting in an online forum for Daddies and boys, I’d
briefly thought he was a Daddy and I’d imagined what it would be like to be his boy. Long distance
wasn’t ideal, but I knew there were other Daddies and boys who made it work. When I’d proposed
the idea to him, he’d very gently let me know that, even though he listed himself as a switch, he was
pretty sure he wouldn’t be the right Daddy for me. That was a sad day but, since then, we’d forged
our own special relationship.
I’d barely gotten through a page of the reading I needed to do for the next piece of my project
when my phone chimed with a notification.
Hi sweetheart. Did you finish your project?
I smiled at the screen, allowing myself to believe that maybe Maverick was right, and all hope
wasn’t lost.
Not yet, but I’m getting close. I’m sorry for canceling the other night.
Don’t ever feel like you have to apologize for that. School comes first. It would be hypocritical
for me to say otherwise.
It took me a second to understand what he was saying, but once I realized he was referring to his
job, I laughed. And smiled again. Dammit. How did he chip away at my defenses so easily?
Did you eat lunch today?
As if my digestive system somehow read the message and wanted to rat me out, my stomach
rumbled. Crap.
I was trying to get through some research.
That’s not what I asked. Should I assume that means you didn’t take a break to eat?
No.
I could have lied, but I wouldn’t. Him reaching out to me meant I hadn’t totally blown it by
canceling an hour before I was supposed to meet him at Marino’s on Monday. Lying was also a shitty
