He tried to hide his relief but Grant must have seen because he chuckled.

“You have a dishwasher so I’ll allow you to use it this time. Except for the wine glasses. Those need to be hand washed. But you still need to scrape off any loose food and rinse them before putting them in the dishwasher.”

“Yes, Daddy.”

Grant

By the time the kitchen was spotless Grant was pleased and relaxed and his boy was beaming with pride. He was definitely going to be adding some chores into their relationship. His boy needed structure and praise.

“Come along now boy,” Grant ordered. “I want my cuddles.”

“Me too,” Caleb said skipping to him.

Grant picked up his boy and carried him into the living room turning off the kitchen light as he passed. The pet squad on their heels. He set Caleb on the couch before he dimmed the lights.

“Find something to watch,” Grant told his boy.

Caleb grabbed the remote. “Like what daddy?”

“What do you like to watch besides romantic comedies? Any favorite TV series?”

“Oh umm,” Caleb blushed. He’d pressed the power button and the television had come on showing a cooking competition.

Grant waved to the TV.

“I…I like to watch this show. It’s the spring one and they make really pretty cakes and stuff.”

“I’d like to watch it with you,” Grant told him.

“Really? Can we watch from the first episode?” Caleb asked. “I’ve missed a couple.”

“If you can find them then yes I would like to watch them in order.”

Caleb bounced a little as he went to his recorded menu. His boy really must like the show.

Grant made sure all the pets were settled before he walked over to the couch. Caleb moved over a cushion but Grant shook his head. “Stand up please.”

“Is something wrong?” Caleb asked as he rose.

“Nothing at all,” Grant said. “But those clothes don’t seem very comfortable. And a cuddle session needs to be comfortable.”

“I wanted to look sexy for you.”

His boy had been unsure so he’d tried to fall back into his old habits. “Boy, you are sexy just breathing.”

Caleb blushed.

“Daddy is going to undress you now.”

“Okay, Daddy.”

Grant pulled the tiny pink tank from his boy. While he approved of the color it was much too tight to be good for his boy. The jeans were harder to remove but with Caleb wiggling and Grant tugging they finally got them off. Leaving Caleb in a pair of baby blue briefs. It was close to what Grant wanted to dress him in so Grant left them on Caleb.

Grant sat on the end of the couch. “Will you remove my boots please.”

“Yes, Daddy!” Caleb said with excitement. He dropped to his knees and quickly completed his task. “Socks?”

“Please.”
