Page 21 of Pretty Baby

“The smartest, she knew to find me.”

Just as Caleb had known Gus was on the arm of the couch while Lily pad meowed from the kitten tree in the corner.

“There are the other babies,” Grant said. Gus allowed a few pets before swatting Grant’s hand away. Lily was much more appreciative and climbed up Grant’s arm.

Caleb was jealous of his own kitten. “Why don’t I get us some drinks and we can watch TV.”

“Thank you boy,” Grant said as he remained crouched while Lily climbed up to his shoulder. “Just water for me.”

Caleb hurried to the kitchen and grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge. He couldn’t eat another bite and wasn’t thirsty but anything to keep Grant there.

All pets were on their respective beds chewing on something as Caleb reentered the living room.

“More treats?” Caleb asked.

“I’m not too much of a man to admit I’m buying their love,” Grant told him.

“Good plan but once they get to know you as I have I’m sure you’ll have no problem winning their affection.”

Grant strolled forward. His hands were gentle as they held his face. “Is that what I’ve done? Won your affection?”

“That and more,” Caleb admitted. “I’ve never been happier.”

“You called me Daddy a couple of times tonight,” Grant reminded him.

Caleb shrugged his shoulder. “That’s who you started being to me. My Daddy, my protector.”

“I’m very happy at this moment,” Grant told him.

“Me too.” Caleb leaned forward and kissed him.

Grant didn’t allow Caleb to tease this time. Instead, he grabbed ahold of Caleb and yanked him forward. Held him tight and mauled his mouth. Caleb let go of all his worries and fears and gave in to Grant’s desires. It wasn’t about Caleb anymore. It was about what his Daddy needed.

“Grant,” Caleb panted out.

“You are such a temptation.”

Caleb fluttered his lashes. “Is that such a bad thing.”

“No, my precious boy it’s not. But first I want you to give me a tour of your beautiful home.”

“A tour?” Was Grant really going to stop where this was going?

“I told you that I’m interested in more than just your body. I want to know everything about you. Reveal all your secrets.”

Caleb gulped. There were some secrets he couldn’t afford to have revealed.

“We have plenty of time for sex my pretty baby,” Grant told him. “I’m not going anywhere.”

“Okay.” Caleb stepped back. “I, uh, guess we can start in the kitchen.”

“Fantastic,” Grant said as he grasped Caleb’s hand in his.

Caleb led Grant to the rarely used kitchen.

“This is a fantastic area, Caleb!” Grant exclaimed. “I bet you have a ton of fun cooking in here.”

“I don’t really cook,” Caleb confessed. “Like ever.”
