He put his thinky-face on, the one he always got before making a tough decision. “Well, honestly, it’s probably past time I retired, but I don’t know. I’m concerned you won’t be able to afford it. Buying me out, I mean, and your dad would kick my ass if I saddled you with a burden.” I knew my dad loved me and cared about me but probably wouldn’t have a lot to say about this. Dad knew I’d been working at this for a long time, and it was one of the reasons he let me move out at such a young age. Granted, I moved in with Grandpa rather than on my own, but still, working with Uncle Clay was one of the biggest reasons that happened.
“It would not be a burden, and it’s not Dad’s decision. I’m an adult now. If it makes you feel better, I have someone who can help me put an offer together so we could see if I’m able to pull it off.” For some reason, I was getting excited at the prospect. Like all the doubts I had while talking to Daddy just vanished.
“That makes sense. You’re a smart cookie, Gilly. Get me that offer, and I’ll think about it.”
“Great, that’s more than fair. Now, are you going over to the Baker job with me? Those walls aren’t going to paint themselves.”
“Smartass. Come on.”
We loaded the back of my car, and I felt a little easier about the whole thing.
At lunch I called Nate. “Guess what, Daddy. Uncle Clay said he’ll think about it once we give him the proposal. Now we need to get it together.” I was actually more eager than I initially thought I would be. Maybe it wasn’t so much that I didn’t want the company as it was that I hadn’t let myself hope for it. Sure, Icould start over, but that would be harder, and I would feel like I was competing with Uncle Clay. I didn’t want to do that, which made this way so much better.
“I’m happy for you, Gilly. Come over when you get off work, and we’ll get started on it.”

NATE
After a few nights of going through Gilly’s data and getting to understand the current business structure, I had my team work up a valuation, along with listing some additional ideas about buying the company. There were a few ways it could go, and we’d need Gilly’s input before finalizing it.
I left work in a hurry, excited to show Gilly what we came up with. I picked up pizza on the way home because no matter what, this was a reason to celebrate and pizza was his go-to. Even if Gilly’s uncle turned down the proposal, it at least gave him an idea of what was possible for him. It gave him direction in his life, and once his uncle gave him the go-ahead, he became so much more enthusiastic about the potential of buying the business, so I wanted to help all I could.
Gilly was already home when I got there, and he came flying out of the house when I pulled up. “Daddy! You’re home!”
“And I have pizza.” I handed him the box and followed him inside. “Let’s eat in the living room.” I brought my laptop case with me instead of leaving it in the office.
“What’s that for? Are you working while we eat?” My Gilly did not miss a thing. He pointed at my bag, so I pulled it out.
“Yes and no. I have something to show you.”
Gilly gasped. “Is it the proposal?”
“It is.” Gilly jumped up and down. “But there are a few things we need you to help us with in order to finalize it.”
“Yay.” He spun in a circle and cheered.
“Silly boy, let’s sit down and eat while we go over it.”
“I can’t wait, Daddy.”
I opened the file and showed him what we’d done. He answered the questions we had, and I keyed the data in as we discussed it. It looked like a solid deal to me. “I’m so happy for you, Gilly.”
“I am too. If Uncle Clay says yes, this is going to be like a whole new everything for me.” He threw his hands in the air. “Thank you, Daddy, for all your help.” He jumped out of his seat and tackled me, and of course, I caught him. He wrapped his legs around my waist and kissed me thoroughly.
I started toward the stairs, but it was too much. I dropped down to the floor right there in the middle of the living room, setting him down softly before stripping both our clothes off. “I want this whole new everything for you.”
He thrust his hips forward, pushing his hard cock into my thigh. “Me too.”
“Feisty boy.” I blew a raspberry on his stomach, making him laugh, but I wanted to elicit other sounds from my sweet boy. I kissed down his body, along that golden-brown happy trail, and rubbed my nose against his cock then took a lick. But Iwas nowhere near done. I lapped at his balls, drawing one into my mouth, gently sucking and flicking it with my tongue. Gilly’s delicious sounds echoed through the room.
Lifting his legs, I eyed my main target, his hole. I licked around his rim, making him squirm, then pressed my tongue inside.
“Fuck! Daddy!”
I couldn’t even help the throaty chuckles as I fucked his hole with my tongue, and he squirmed all over the floor.
“Uhn! Daddy, please…”
