Daddy gave him a lopsided smile. “Not at all. I appreciated your enthusiasm.” He slid back up the length of Seth’s body until they were almost nose to nose. “Taste yourself.”

Before Seth had the chance to speak, Daddy thrust his tongue inside Seth’s mouth. At first, he wasn’t sure what Daddy had been talking about, but then he noted the slight tang he hadn’t tasted the other times they’d kissed.

Is that…?

Should he be repulsed? The more the kiss deepened, the less it mattered. What mattered was how close he felt to Daddy, how turned on he was by him and what they’d done. If Daddy showed him how, he’d like to do the same for him in return.

Daddy broke the connection but framed Seth’s face with his palms. “We have so much to explore together and I’m looking forward to every second. How about we get started on our day?”

Seth tensed. “Wait. What about you? You didn’t get anything out of that.”

Daddy snorted. “Ah, but that’s where you’re wrong. And it’s not your place to worry about anything, that’s my job. I wanted to reward you for giving me the gift of your trust and beginning this journey with me. But I’m also excited to fully embrace my role as your Daddy.”

“Wow. Okay.”

Clearly, he had a long way to go before he fully grasped the strange connection happening between them.

Daddy gave him one more firm peck on the lips, then rolled out of bed. Seth turned over so he could do the same on his side, but right as he was about to push up from the mattress, Daddy reached down his hand and offered it to him. Seth accepted, and a flash of the first time he’d ridden in Daddy’s truck, and how he’d helped him then, went through his mind.

Instead of leading him to the guest bathroom where they’d showered the night before, Daddy headed for the master bath that was part of his bedroom.

Or, our bedroom now?

His thoughts jumbled together as everything hit him all at once. In only a few months, there’d been so many changes in his life. Each one had brought about a new chapter, a new beginning that meant another chapter had ended. When he’d escaped the camp and left everything behind to come to a strange place, he’d assumed that single event would be the biggest transformation he’d ever go through.

He’d never been so wrong.

“Seth? I need you to talk to me.”

“Huh?”

He lifted his head and turned to Daddy. He hadn’t realized they’d made it to the large, black-tiled bathroom already. Daddy still held onto his hand and was regarding him with concern.

“What’s bothering you, sweetheart?”

He shifted from foot to foot, the tiles cool on the soles of his feet. “There’s so much going on.”

Daddy nodded. “There is, and it’s a lot to take in. As long as you’re still feeling okay with what we’re doing, everything else can be handled.”

Seth grabbed Daddy’s arms in a slight panic. “I don’t want you to think I’m doubting us, that’s not what I meant.” Seth moved back and forth on his feet again. “Uh…I have to use the bathroom. I’m sorry, I can’t think straight.”

Daddy cupped the back of Seth’s head and stroked his hair. “For today, I’ll give you your privacy since you seem overwhelmed. I’ll grab the other bathroom, then come right back so I don’t leave you waiting.”

After kissing his forehead, Daddy left the room, closing the door behind him. If he didn’t have to pee so badly, Seth would’ve offered to use the guest one instead. Why should Daddy have to be the one who left his own bathroom? It didn’t make sense.

Seth finished washing his hands, then opened the door to see Daddy perched on the end of the bed, waiting for him just how he’d said he would. He noted that Daddy was still naked. His face heated as he glanced down at his own nudity.

“Get used to it.”

Seth jerked up his head at the remark. “I can’t wear clothes anymore?”

Daddy let out a soft chuckle. “That would be lovely, but no. I imagine being naked when we go grocery shopping might be an issue for some people. And we might not care for it much ourselves once winter sets in.” He waggled his eyebrows. “But alone together in a warm house? That would make Daddyveryhappy.”

Oh. Seth’s breathing accelerated and his skin flushed. He couldn’t imagine why so many of the strange things he was discovering with Daddy were making him excited, as opposed to scaring him half to death.

Daddy rose from the bed then held out his hand. “We both need breakfast, our morning workout, and a shower. Then we can spend the rest of the day enjoying each other.”

Seth went to him eagerly. “And you’ll tell me more about what things will be like for us now? What I’m supposed to do?”
