Page 32 of Screw Me Daddy

I know it’s crazy to think this given what I was thinking out in the main café area, but Reece is beginning to feel like he could bethe one.

I continue to drink from the bottle and look up into Reece’s soulful brown eyes and see a Daddy who cares for me and knowsjust what I need to make me feel like the most special Little in the world.

Reece didn’t have to come toMorning Milkto make me feel better. He’s got a lot going on in his life right now, and there was the risk of Tony Ripper following him again.

But Reece wanted to be here, with me.

Reece wants to be my Daddy – and I want him to be that too.

However that doesn’t change the fact that we’ve still got a slimy paparazzo attempting to follow our every move…

‘But what about the horrible man?’ I say, taking a breather from the milk for just one moment. ‘I don’t like him. Why can’t he just go away?’

‘Don’t worry, baby boy,’ Reece says, a look of determination on his face. ‘I’ve got you. In fact, I’ve got us both from here on in.’

With that, a warm feeling comes over me as I continue to suckle down the milk. Gradually, my eyes start to feel heavy, and I can feel myself drifting off to sleep in Reece’s arms.

I know that life isn’t always easy.

Sometimes there are horrible people – it could be a mean ex like Fraser, or a stinky paparazzo like Tony. But as long as I know that I’ve got my Daddy by my side, I know that everything is going to be okay.

All that’s left for me to do now is fall fully asleep and dream of all the wholesome fun me and my Daddy can have in our future…

Chapter 14

Reece

The feeling of giving my baby boy his milk was truly like nothing else. As I look at Xander now, fast asleep in my arms as I lean back on the comfy armchair, I know I made the right call to come down toMorning Milk.

I knew that Xander was stressed over the whole Tony Ripper situation.

Honestly, I wouldn’t have blamed Xander if he had chosen to break things off with me and never seen me again.

Over the years, I taught myself how to live with the press in my life.

But for Xander?

He was dropped right in at the deep end with no warning – and without asking for it either.

Had Xander told me that this was simply a situation that just wasn’t going to work out for him, I would have respected that without any complaints.

Sure, it would have hurt likehell.

I probably would have sworn off boys for the rest of my life. But I would have understood Xander’s decision. However from the second that I saw my baby boy’s beautiful smile as he entered the room with Nanny Josephine, I knew that this wasn’t going to be the case.

One of the big things I learned during my career was to never give in until the final whistle has been blown. No matter how bad the situation is, there is always hope to turn things around and snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat.

On the soccer pitch, you push your body and mind to the limit to win the big matches. I was known as one of the world’s best players in the big, clutch situations. There’s no way that I’m going to suddenly forget that now and let a small, self-interested man like Tony Ripper wreck my life.

And it’s not just about me either.

Xander is my boy – and just like I did with inexperienced teammates, I’m going to make sure that I take Xander under my wing and guide him through this moment.

By myself, I’m a formidable force.

But with my big, strong, macho boy by my side… I know I can be even better.

Speaking of sleeping beauty, it looks like he’s waking up from his nap…
