Jayme hugged Avery back. “I bet you’re really good at it. I’m kind of weird, though.”
Hayley didn’t think his brother was weird. He hated hearing Jayme talk about himself like that.
“Being weird is awesome!” Avery said before Hayley could correct his brother. “See him?” Avery pointed at Jace. “He’s my Daddy. And even though I’m over twenty, he takes care of me. I get really stressed out all the time and Jace knows just what to do for me.” Avery pulled his binkie from under his shirt. It was attached on some short of long chain that looked like a necklace. “And I love binkies!”
“That’s…cool. I don’t have anything like that,” Jayme told Avery. He leaned forward and lowered his voice. “I thought I wanted a Daddy, but I don’t think so anymore.”
“Oh, you don’t have to have a Daddy. That’s what’s so neat about the club. You can check things out. Please say you’ll come!”
“Yes, if that’s okay with everyone else.”
“It is!” Avery ran over to Jace. “Daddy! Jayme is going to come tonight, too. And I’ll be his friend. I’ll stay by his side the whole time so he doesn’t get scared.”
“You’ll be a good friend to him,” Jace told his boy.
“I think we should make special treats to take tonight.”
Mac chuckled as Jace shook his head. Even Hayley had to stifle a laugh. Avery wasn’t very subtle.
Hayley loved his friend, all his friends really. And going to the club while actually having a Daddy was going to be awesome. Hayley couldn’t wait.

Hayley
“Are you sure I’m dressed okay?” Hayley asked for like the tenth time. He hadn’t ever been this nervous being alittlein public before. But this time was special. He didn’t want to embarrass Mac or anything.
“Hayley.” Mac stopped before they reached the front door of the club. “Look at me.”
Hayley peered up at Mac.
“You could be wearing a trash bag and I would be proud to hold your hand. I’m still amazed that you even gave me a second glance. Nothing is going to make feel better than walking into that club with your hand in mine.”
“You’re a sap,” Hayley responded. “And I’m being silly.” Hayley had even brought one of the outfits from his apartment, a cute pair of yellow shorts and a pink shirt with a big rainbow.
“You are being a tad silly,” Mac agreed. “And fucking adorable.”
“Bad word!” Hayley clamped his hand over Mac’s mouth, his boy persona now at the front. “Bad Daddy.”
Shocking the hell out of him, Mac actually licked Hayley’s hand.
“Eww!” Hayley screeched.
“My spit is gross?”
“Daddy!” He wiped his hand on Mac’s tight black shirt. His Daddy looked hot. Mac wore tight jeans and a tight T-shirt. As much as he loved being able to touch and see Mac’s bare chest, he didn’t want any other boys to see it. Mac was his.
“Can we go inside?” Jayme asked, closer to the door.
They’d picked up his brother on the way to the club. Hayley had offered to let Jayme borrow some clothes, but Jayme had declined, instead wearing a pair of jeans with so many holes Hayley couldn’t figure out how they remained on. Jayme also wore a tight purple tank top. It wasn’t an outfit that Hayley had ever seen his brother in before, but Jayme appeared comfortable. That was really all that mattered. He wanted Jayme to have a good time at the club.
Earlier, Mac had added Hayley to his own membership and paid for a three-month membership for Jayme. That way, if they enjoyed the new playroom, they could come together or with their friends. His Daddy was the best.
“Coming,” Hayley hollered back to his brother. He held out his hand to Mac. “Hold my hand, Daddy?”
“Always.” Mac linked their fingers together before he brought up Hayley’s hand and kissed his knuckles.
His nerves settled, Hayley didn’t have any reason to be anxious. There had been plenty of time for Mac to find another boy. Instead, every move Mac had made had been to benefit Hayley.
