“Go play. I’m going to clean up in here and the bathroom before I start breakfast.”

Mitch skipped down the hall and into the living room. Byron had shown him the toy box next to the big leather chair. He’d seen puzzles. Mitch loved puzzles.

He went straight to the box and pulled out the two hundred and fifty piece Transformer puzzle. He knee walked to the coffee table where he dumped out the pieces.

This was going to be a good day.

Byron

Byron led Mitch into the club with a hand on his lower back. It was their first visit since the contract had been signed.

They’d first met at the club and tonight they were meeting Grant and Caleb. Caleb would be able to help keep Mitch in his boy persona.

“Let’s sit,” Byron said before leading him to their regular booth. When it wasn’t an event night the booth was often empty until they arrived.

Like a good boy, Mitch stood by the table until Byron motioned for him to scoot in first. Byron would be on the outside to hide most of his boy’s body. He’d be pushing some of Mitch’s limits that night. Mitch needed to be able to forget all about work and his father. The day together had served to keep Mitch is his boy persona but they had so much more to explore.

“Hello, sir. Hello Mitch. Can I get you some drinks?” The sweet Twinkie waiter asked stepping up to the table.

“I’ll have a whiskey and my boy will take apple juice. Grant and Caleb will also be joining us if you know their drink order.”

Michael bounced. “I do! I haven’t seen Caleb in weeks! He said he would wear one of his new outfits the next time he came in. I hope he does.”

Byron nodded. With Grant’s support Caleb was making friends everywhere the boy went. Caleb might not think he was likable but the boy couldn’t have been more wrong. “I believe that’s the plan. Grant was just finishing getting him ready when I called to check on them.”

“Awesome!” Michael beamed. “I’ll be right back with your drinks.”

He scurried away and Mitch chuckled.

Byron turned his attention to his boy.

“He’s so happy. Bubbly. Just like Caleb and Avery,” Mitch sounded sad.

Byron wrapped his arm around Mitch’s shoulder. “There is nothing wrong with the type of boy you want to be. Every boy, and Daddy as well, is different.”

Mitch sighed. “What if that’s what I want? I wish I could be that…innocent.” He shook his head. “I’ve just seen too much. People are not nice. They’re horrible.”

“No,” Byron corrected. He had to stop himself from curling his fists. He fucking hated how Mitch’s experiences had made him into a cynical man. But that was his job, to help Mitch reach his carefree boy side. “The people you are used to dealing with maybe horrible but there are plenty of good people out there. Especially in here.”

Mitch nodded although he didn’t look convinced. Enough thinking for his boy.

Byron reached over to the strap holding Mitch’s paci to his shirt and held it up. Mitch opened his mouth and Byron placed the nipple against his lips. Mitch sucked on his paci and immediately started to relax.

Michael carefully carried a tray with four drinks over. He handed Byron his glass before setting the other glass on the opposite side of the table. Then he placed both plastic cups with lids and straws down.

Byron moved Mitch’s cup in front of him.

“Oh my God!” Michael squealed. “Is that a Bubble Bee pacifier from the Transformer movies?” He leaned against the table to get a better look.

Mitch bounced and nodded.

“So cool!” Michael exclaimed. “I hadn’t seen one like that before.”

Michael’s name was called and he laughed. “I’ll be back. Master Finn needs me.” He skipped off and Mitch chuckled.

Everyone in the club knew that Michael had the biggest crush on the owner Master Finn. Why Finn hadn’t taken the sweet boy under his control was anyone’s guess.

Mitch leaned against his shoulder.
