Teasing him was fun but his reaction made it all even better.

I have to stay big, Daddy. Don’t be cute.

I wasn’t going to promise that, especially since I wasn’t cute, but I could leave him alone for the time being.

I’ll think about that while I’m planning our evening. Text me after you get done with work.

Yes, I had a few things to take care of and then some planning to do.

Yes, Daddy.

It was too easy to imagine his sweet, wicked grin being aimed in my direction as he gave his wonderfully polite answer, but I didn’t tease him back about it. Distracting him too much at work would not make me a good Daddy or a good date.

But it was tempting, so I put my phone down and hit the intercom button on my phone.

“Yes, sir?” Paige was the consummate professional and I’d never been able to get her to call me anything else in the five years she’d been working for me.

“I’m going to be on a call for a few minutes and can’t be disturbed. I’ll let you know when I’m free.” Giving her the impression I would be using my cell, I handled a few quick questions before disconnecting the call and getting up to lock the door.

If she or anyone else thought I needed privacy to talk to a source, well, that wasn’t my fault. But it did give me the privacy I needed as I went over to the wet bar. Sliding a panel out behind the sink, I quickly accessed the safe that was perfectly hidden and pulled out the pump I kept stored there.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t always get away with not pumping during the day. I’d been able to stretch the sessions further and further apart, but it seemed like just a flirty text with Dessie got a reaction from me.

Just a year ago, I’d have been cursing and angry as I took off my shirt to strap on the cups. The wasted time and reminder that I wasn’t like other alphas would’ve been the only thing onmy mind, but as I handled the situation, the primary emotion I could identify was a lingering frustration that Dessie wasn’t there with me.

Thinking about his smile and the way his lips had wrapped around me so easily like it was perfectly natural for him had my chest feeling even tighter. The sensation had a stubborn part of me pointing out how different I was, but it didn’t have the same sting any longer.

“Dessie was excited about my differences.” Yes, he’d been aroused and just excited in general. “Dessie likes that I’m not like other alphas.”

Keeping up the ridiculous reminders, I turned on the nearly silent pump and closed my eyes. “He liked curling up on my lap. He’d wanted dessert.”

That memory made me laugh and probably always would.

He definitely thought sweets were better than salty treats and hadn’t been afraid to point that out. But he’d also thoroughly enjoyed playing with my dick, so I wasn’t worried about pushing him to do something he hadn’t wanted to.

If I’d learned anything about little Dessie, it was that he wasn’t afraid of asking for what he wanted…and at the moment that was to get good attention from his Daddy.

“Then maybe some dessert.”

Chapter 10

Dessie

“He texted to warn me about Austin.” What else? “He flirted with me but wanting to protect me from Austin is really cute.”

So it definitely deserved to be mentioned twice.

“He…he teased me about something close to spankings at the very least.” Yes, that was important to remember. Tyson wasn’t the type of alpha to flirt with just anyone. “He said he was hard and he didn’t seem to mind me calling him Daddy during our texts.”

Yes, getting hard was a good thing.

“He didn’t even mind that I was hard or that I told him he had to stop teasing me.” I liked being teased but reacting at work would get me attention I wasn’t ready to handle.

I wasn’t worried about them being rude or just mean with their teasing but it would be worse than that.

They’d ask questions.

And Daddy wasn’t ready to help me figure out how to answer them yet, so we’d wait.
