“Yes, please.”

“Is it okay if I take off my shirt? This one doesn’t have buttons?” Making him uncomfortable or assuming I expected sexual favors in return wasn’t how this worked. Trevor had to be alright with everything we did.

“Yes, Daddy.”

I tossed my shirt and the padded elastic band to the ground. Trevor’s eyes clocked my every move.

“Come here.” I tucked him against my side, and he threw a leg over mine. His head rested in the bend of my arm right where I wanted it. As soon as he latched on it was like instant relief for both of us. My head lay back on the pillows and his entire body relaxed, as did mine. The perfect end to a busy day. He closed his eyes and Daddy’s Little Dreamer was down for the night.

Had I had the forethought to do this earlier, we both might’ve snuck in a nap.

“Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m so sorry, Daddy!”

“Wha-what?” Daddy rubbed his eyes.

Shoot, now I woke him up by freaking out. He was gonna be so mad at me. “What happened?”

“I forgot to take care of you last night. I fell asleep.” I burst into tears knowing this was probably the last time I’d see him, and I really liked this daddy. Like, right on the ooey gooey verge of falling in love with him kind of liked. “Daddy you were so good to me, and I wanted to do something nice for you and I fell asleep.”

“Take care of me? What’s wrong with me?”

“Sex stuff, Daddy. Please don’t get rid of me. I can do it now.” I yanked the covers off and dove for his winky.

“Trevor, Trevor. Stop. We both fell asleep, and our relationship is about far more than sex. Yes, sex will be nice when we get to that point. Last night we were both tired. Sweet boy, please stop crying.” Daddy hugged me tight, but I couldn’t help it. I feltreally bad. He did so much wonderful stuff for me yesterday and I didn’t give him anything in return.

“But-but.”

“No buts, Sweet Bee. The sun isn’t even up yet which tells me we shouldn’t be either. Please, take a deep breath and lie down for a while longer.” Daddy curled around me and hugged me tight. “There, see how nice that is?”

“Y-ya,” I sniffled and felt like such a fool.

“Sex isn’t everything and I’m sorry others treated you so poorly. You’re worth more than that. Did you have fun yesterday?”

“Yes, a lot.”

“Great. Did you sleep well?”

“Better than I usually do.”

“As your Daddy, I couldn’t ask for more. I wanted you to have fun and relax and snuggle with me.”

“Snuggle with you?”

“Yeah, Daddy loves to snuggle.” He buried his nose in my neck and his whiskers tickled. “And hear his little bee giggle.”

Wiggle, wiggle. Ohhh, Daddy was awake. Well, his winky was.

“Little Bee, you’re being naughty wiggling the way you are.”

Was I? Naughty, that is.

“Mayyybbbeeee.”

Daddy said such sweet things and now instead of offering myself in payment I wanted to play ‘cause, well, my winky was awake now, too.

“Trevor, this in no way is a form of payment. This is because we both want it, understood?”
