“Dadddddy,” I whined as I slipped a hand under the waistband of my shorts. I curled my hand around my shaft but didn’t start jerking off. I couldn’t do that without permission. “You can’t talk to me like that. My brother is right down the hall.”
“Then I guess you’ll need to be quiet. Do you want me to tell you what I’m going to do to you if you agree?”
“Can we switch to video so I can see you?” Phone sex was fun, but not nearly as entertaining as when I could see Daddy’s face as he came.
“Not tonight, sweet boy. We shouldn’t be doing this at all,” he argued. “I wanted us to have a very serious talk so there aren’t any surprises when I take you to the club for the first time.”
“No surprises,” I repeated. “Got it. I already knew you were a kinky bastard, so it’s not weird that you invested in a kink club. Does that mean we have a free membership there?”
I sure as hell hoped so. We’d barely scratched the surface of the kinky shit I got sucked into on the porn sites. There were things I already knew were better left in the realm of fantasy, but there was a whole fucking lot I wanted to try out.
Ryan laughed. “Yes, baby. We can go any time there’s a members-only night. What do you want to do first?”
“I don’t know. Maybe you’d better choose since I’ve never even seen the place,” I suggested. Having Daddy play with me where others could watch was something I wanted, but also something I needed to work my way up to.
By the time my battery beeped, alerting me that it was about to die, Daddy had helped me come twice before warning me I wasn’t allowed to touch myself again until I picked him up from the airport tomorrow.
Tomorrow. That meant tonight was the last night I’d have to fall asleep alone.

Tanner
I feltlike I’d just fallen asleep when the ringing of my damn phone woke me up. Figuring it was Ryan calling to tell me what time his flight would land, I answered without checking the caller ID. “’Lo?”
The other end of the line was silent, other than the ragged breathing of the asshole who thought it was cool to call at an unreasonably shitty hour. And, of course, it wasn’t anyone in my contacts list because they would have remembered you don’t call me before ten in the morning unless your name is Ryan or someone’s bleeding out.
“Dude, I don’t know who in the fuck you are, but you’ve got three seconds to say something before I turn off the damn phone,” I warned them. That was new; usually I would have hung up and turned the phone to silent.
“Hey Tanner, it’s me.” My eyes shot open at the sound of Mav’s voice. “Sorry, I forgot about the time difference. John told me I needed to call you before doing anything else today.”
“Who in the hell is John?” That was the sort of detail a so-called best friend should know. But at least this time it was because he’d been keeping shit from me and not because I was so caught up in my own relationship that I’d ignored him.
“He’s… Okay, so I’m just going to say it. And you can ask questions if you want but if you’d rather call back after you’re more awake, that’s cool too,” he rambled. I sat up, leaning against the headboard and turned on the nightstand light. He was fucking hilarious if he thought I was getting back to sleep at this point.
“Spit it out, Mav.” I thumped my head against the headboard a couple of times. “Would it make it easier if I promise I’m not mad at you? Whatever it is you have to tell me, I’m just glad you’re safe. And I’m sorry for asking Ryan to track you down.”
“Yeah, well the timing on that could have been better,” he mumbled. Both of them were being cryptic as fuck about what happened at the club last night.
Which room did Ryan find Mav in? What secrets was he keeping from me?
“I’m sure you’ll laugh about it someday.” At least, I hoped we all would, if Mav felt like he could tell me what he was into.
“Yeah. Maybe.” He didn’t sound convinced. “But anyway, I’m not upset you asked Ryan to make sure I was okay. I think I needed the reminder that there’s a life outside of being Daddy’s princess.”
He gasped when he realized what he’d blurted out. My mouth fell open, but I was more surprised that he’d said it so easily than I was hearing that we had one more thing in common. It reassured me to hear that John called Mav his princess. That meant Mav had accomplished what he wanted out of moving: he was able to embrace his femininity without being judged or lectured about it.
“I’m happy for you, Mav,” I reassured him. “I can’t wait to meet your Daddy. He’d better be good to you.”
“He’s the best. You should have heard him last night, Mav. He was this big grizzly bear until he believed Ryan wasn’t a threat to me or to our relationship,” he explained. He was more animated now, and part of me wished we’d waited to have this talk until I was out there so I could see the excitement on his face. “And when we got home, he got into it with his brother. I love him, Tanner.”
I cackled, then pressed a hand over my mouth when I remembered my brother and Haley were probably still asleep. If Deegan woke up, he’d get it. I’m not sure any of us thought Mav would ever settle down. “Sorry. That was rude. I’m so happy for you, Mav.”
“Yeah, I know. Not something you expected me to say, but it’s the truth. I think I just needed to find someone who really understands me and isn’t trying to put me into the box they think I fit in,” he explained. I didn’t know this John dude yet, but I already liked him. “He goes out of his way to make sure he respects however I’m feeling, and the man has a serious shopping addiction.”
“I think that might be a Daddy thing,” I mused. “Ryan does the same.”
“Believe me, I’m well aware.” It felt like he’d been gone a hell of a lot longer than a couple of months. Maybe it was the lack of caffeine that made me forget that he used to be there, teasing me every time another package arrived from Ryan. “So, not to change the subject, but when are you going to get your ass out here? If you didn’t already have enough proof that Ryan loves you, last night should seal the deal. I can’t think of many boyfriends who’d hunt down their guy’s friend in the back of a kink club and act like nothing weird was going on.”
