“No, Daddy.” Kai held up his hand, showing Nolan his cum-coated fingers.
“Mmm. Looks like a treat for Daddy.” Nolan took him by the wrist, sucking each finger into his mouth, licking long strips of his palm, cleaning him off. Nolan pulled Kai up on his knees so he could kiss him, hand circling his throat, his tongue delving into Kai’s mouth. Kai made a desperate sound as he melted intothe kiss, submitting to Nolan’s onslaught. When Nolan pulled away, Kai chased his mouth, needing more.
“Alright, pretty boy. You’ve had your taste. Go get cleaned up before Katie gets here.”
“Fiiine.” Kai tucked himself back into his pants, but when he looked down, he realized he had not been as careful as he’d thought. Nolan tracked his gaze to the splash marks on his sweats as Kai groaned.
“Run upstairs and grab a new pair, and I’ll finish cleaning up.”
When Kai returned, Nolan was walking into the living room with Katie and Myles; Katie wore a soft-looking, yellow summer dress, and Myles looked dapper as fuck in a pale blue suit. Katie beamed as he entered the room, dancing on her toes and giving him an overexcited little wave.
Kai immediately felt awkward, and he didn’t really do awkward well. It made him a little irascible, and he didn’t think his ass could handle punishment two days in a row. There was also a yearning in his belly that made him want to prove to Nolan that he could be civilized.
Myles spared him, stepping forward with his hand out.
“We didn’t officially get to meet yesterday,” he said. Kai accepted the handshake, grateful to let Myles take the lead.
“Yeah, I-I’m sorry about that,” he mumbled, chancing a peek at his face. It had to be normal to feel inadequate around this kind of guy, right? Myles exuded confidence and intelligence. This was definitely the kind of guy that Nolan was supposed to be with, so why wasn’t he? Before Kai’s brain could take him down that rabbit hole, Katie looped an arm around his and dragged him away.
“Come play with me!”
“Hold up!” Nolan took Kai by his elbow, tugging him into him. “You good?”
Kai nodded awkwardly. Nolan narrowed his eyes, but when he spoke, he didn’t press the matter. “Alright. Myles and I are going to my office to work for a bit and then we can all go to lunch. I need to go to the shop for a bit afterwards. You gonna come with me?”
“Yeah, okay!” Kai answered, perking up.
“Okay, good.” Nolan leaned in pressing a soft kiss to his lips before Katie tugged him away.
“You got new Lego?” she asked excitedly when she’d deposited him in front of the toy chest and thrown it open.
“I didn’t ask if I’m allowed to open it yet,” he replied. Katie didn’t hesitate, twisting around to look at where Nolan had disappeared into the kitchen.
“Uncle Nolan, can Kai open his new Lego?” she called.
Nolan poked his head around the corner.
“Kai can ask me himself.”
Katie looked at him expectantly, but Kai felt uncomfortable. They hadn’t discussed the appearance of new Lego, but this didn’t seem like the time to bring it up.
“Can I please play with the new Lego, Daddy?”
The smile Nolan gave him made him feel warm all over.
“Of course, baby,” he answered. Katie reached for the box and handed it to him, nodding encouragingly. It was an unfamiliar sensation opening a toy this nice that was all his. He dumped the contents of the box onto the floor and looked expectantly at Katie.
“What should we make?” he asked.
“Oh, I know.” Katie whipped her phone out of her pocket and leaned close so that their heads were almost together. Kai’s eyes blew wide as they scrolled YouTube. He didn’t know you could do all of this cool shit with Lego; the cities people built were insane. There was so much detail and so much creativity. His own imagination was already running away with him.
“Let’s do that. I want to make a city.”
Katie agreed enthusiastically, propping her phone on the couch cushions so they could use the pictures for inspiration. They lost track of time as they built. At some point, Nolan’s housekeeper named Cherry, who seemed particularly fond of Katie, stopped by with a fruit tray and two tumblers of ice water. She was friendly enough, but her eyes were shrewd, like she was trying to read him. Kai felt the need to make a good impression, like it was important that he not get on the wrong side of Nolan’s staff.
Chilling with Katie was a lot different than hanging out with any of his other friends. Maybe it was the innocence of her little, or maybe it was the way she moved like she didn’t have a care in the world. When he was with her like this, it was so easy to get caught up, to focus on the task at hand without worrying about what was going to happen next. Before they were ready, Cherry popped back in to let them know that Nolan would be ready to leave in fifteen minutes, if they wanted to pack up. They did what they were told, Kai surreptitiously pocketing a fistful of Lego to play with later and making plans for what they could build next while gently tucking their half-finished projects into Katie’s increasingly crowded toy chest.
Nolan and Myles returned just as they were finishing up, and that possessive look in Nolan’s eyes and the way his mouth curved when they landed on Kai made it okay that their playtime had been cut short. Kai migrated towards him without thinking about it and was immediately rewarded when Nolan tucked him against his side.
