‘So why the hell haven’t you…you know?’ Rico says, being unusually coy by his regular standards.
‘I’m taking my time,’ I reply. ‘The longer I wait, the better it will be. And not just for me, but for Eddie too. I want this to be the best fuck of his whole life.’
‘Damn, you’ve got it bad,’ Rico laughs. ‘But more power to you. I respect it. I wish I had a boy in my life.’
‘You had about five the last time I checked,’ I fire back, knowing full-well that Rico is normally dating at least three boys at a time.
‘Yeah, well, that’s probably not all it’s cracked up to be,’ Rico says. ‘Don’t get me wrong, it can be fun as anything. But… listening to you talk about Eddie is maybe the kick in the butt I need. I’ve been feeling a growing sense that being a Daddy about town has a shelf life. You know?’
I know what Rico’s talking about.
I’ve had my wild times too.
And the truth is that isdoesget old.
But my connection with Eddie is more than just a desire to settle down. I would have been stopped dead in my tracks by Eddie at any point in my adult life, I know that for sure.
I think it’s time for a toast…
‘To success, happiness, perfect boys,’ I say. ‘And taking out our enemies.’
‘I’ll drink to that,’ Rico adds, raising his beer.
We’ll drink tonight and enjoy the moment.
But when we wake tomorrow, all thoughts will be on Luca Conte – oh, and I might just spare a few moments for my special baby boy Eddie too…
Chapter 7
Eddie
I do love this park.
Situated directly opposite East Side Sugar, it’s a small and well-maintained city park that has lovely green grass and a smattering of trees with a small lake as a center piece.
I often come here during my lunch break and, weather permitting, it’s a great place to sit outside and get some fresh air and also some much-needed rest after a busy morning shift in the bakery.
Today has been extra-busy too – it seems like Mitch’s recent venture into Instagram has brought a whole new potential fanbase to the bakery.
This is great, and I’m happy for Mitch that his business is going to the next level – but it does mean that I’m on my feet and buzzing around like the busiest of bees pretty much the entire time!
Speaking of being occupied…
These last few days have felt like I’m floating on a cloud – and being a baker of some of the fluffiest, most cloud-like cakes in all of New York, I should know what that feels like!
I can’t recall the last time I felt so happy and contented in my life.
I’ve always been happy on a day-to-day level, but since meeting Nico everything has just seemed ten times better.
It’s as if all memories of previously failed relationships and those Daddies who either didn’t work out or simply let me down have just floated away.
Now all that matters is the present day – and I’m loving it!
After my first extended date with Nico, there have been a couple more day-dates, two spankings, and plenty of hot and heavy flirty banter via messaging.
Nico’s busy handling something with his work, but it feels good to know that I’m never too far away in his thoughts.
Speaking of which, it looks like my Daddy has just sent me a message now…
