The cookies are almost done when Leo finally comes out of his room carrying Winter.
“Smells good.”
“Your favorite,” Daddy says.
There’s an awkward pause.
“Look, um, I don’t want to lose either of you, and if you’re dating, I’m worried that could happen.”
“I understand, but I’m serious about Izzy.”
“How serious, because I will cut your balls off if you hurt him,” Leo threatens.
I snort a laugh, and Leo puts Winter on the ground.
“Same goes for you. You hurt my dad and your balls are forfeit.”
Whit comes into the kitchen, and I turn to him.
“If you hurt my Leo, I will cut your balls off.”
“What did I miss?” Whit seems confused.
“We’ve moved to the ‘if you hurt him’ phase.” Daddy shrugs.
“Are you sure this is what you want?” Leo asks me.
“Yes, he’s my dream Daddy, and has been for longer than you want to know.”
“No way.”
“Getting spanked by Daddy Joe was my go-to fantasy.”
“I can make that happen,” Daddy says.
“Gross!” Leo yells. Whit and Daddy laugh. “But why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because I never thought he would want me, and he does. I mean, he really does. Like anytime?—”
“Don’t. What about his problem? Does it bother you?”
“Promise you won’t judge me if I say that I love it.”
“I guess it makes sense having a Daddy who can take care of you in that special way, and you’ve always had an oral fixation. For normal things, like candy and dicks?—”
“Oh, for Christ’s sakes. I’m a member of the Lactin Brotherhood. I just joined, and no, he didn’t tell me.” Whit turns to Joe. “I figured it out.”
“And you were judging me!” I yell.
“No, I was just making sure that you knew about it and were fine with it. Dad’s obviously not going to tell anyone. So, how did you find out?” I open my mouth to answer, but he says. “If you say during sex, I’ll throw up.”
“I had a pretty good idea when I met him at the bar on the night of the Lactin Brotherhood outing.”
“How did you even find out about something like that?”
“Porn and a post,” I say.
“Porn?” Whit gasps.
