“We’re a real couple, sweetheart. I promise.” He brushed Seth’s hair off his face. “Not every loving, committed relationship includes anal sex. However, I enjoy it quite a bit and it’s possible you will too. Do I want to make love to you? Of course. But I won’t do it at the expense of your pleasure. When we decide we’re ready to go that far, if that day comes, it’ll be because you ache for me to fill you—not because you feel it’s your duty.”

Seth chewed on his bottom lip. “How do we find out if I’d…like that?”

Malcolm’s dick was so hard it could probably cut diamonds. He gently tugged Seth’s lips from between his teeth then soothed the sensitive skin with the pad of his thumb. Seth’s mouth fell open and Malcolm groaned as he slipped his thumb inside. His boy latched on and sucked, his gaze never leaving Malcolm’s. Malcolm slid the digit along Seth’s tongue and Seth worked it over good.

Jesus.

He was leaking like a son of a bitch. He’d been ready to come ever since he’d had Seth’s cock in his mouth that morning and right now Seth was about to drive him insane. His boy might not be experienced, but he was sensual as fuck.

“I’m going to give you a word, and you tell me if you think it’ll work as your safeword for now.” Malcolm could barely speak, let alone think, with his thumb slipping in and out from between Seth’s shiny lips. “If you want to stop anything we’re doing, anything atall, say red and everything comes to an instant halt. Understand?”

Seth nodded. However, with great regret, Malcolm had to remove his thumb from Seth’s mouth. They had to follow protocol and it was up to Malcolm to set the precedent.

“I need to hear you say it out loud. Can you remember to use red if you’re worried, scared or absolutely certain what we’re doing isn’t something you want?”

“Yes, Daddy. Um, what if I’m worried or scared, but not certain?” He gave a small shrug. “I mean, I might be worried about a lot of things because they’re new, not because I don’t want to at leasttrythem.”

Malcolm chuckled at Seth’s insight and how overly protective he was being of his boy.Better too much than not enough.

“Good point.” He winked. “Then say yellow. That way I’ll know you just need to slow down and we can discuss how you’re feeling. How does that sound?”

Seth gave him a shy smile. “I like that. It makes sense.” Seth nudged Malcolm’s cheek with his nose. “I know we’re still talking things over, but you haven’t had a turn yet and I want to touch you so much. Can I, Daddy?”

Malcolm’s cock jumped and Seth snickered. He had to have felt it against his ass cheeks.

“Mmm…” Malcolm nudged Seth back. “I imagine I’d be a fool to turn down that offer from such a beautiful boy. And I did say we had all day.” Malcolm nipped at Seth’s earlobe and he gasped. “I think we should take a break from all this talking.”

Malcolm captured Seth’s mouth in a searing kiss then flipped him onto his back, placing his frame over Seth’s then lining up their cocks so they could slide against each other. He’d let Seth have his way with him in a minute, let him explore his body all he wanted.

But first, he needed to taste his boy’s sweetness.

Seth knew his cheeks had gone past pink, past red and even past scarlet. At this point, his skin had to have reached the purple stage. He glanced over the top of the laptop screen to check if Daddy returning, then went back to scrolling through all the—toys? aDaddy had opened an account at the online store right after they’d shared lunch in bed.

Seth swiped a hand across his forehead. They’d had such an amazing day so far. Now that they’d discussed so many aspects of being Daddy and boy, done some fooling around with Daddy describing different ways they could be intimate together—Seth was ready to go all in.

“What should be the first thing we buy?”

Seth slapped a hand to his chest at the sound of Daddy’s voice. He’d been so engrossed in reading the descriptions of the mysterious items on the screen, he hadn’t noticed it when Daddy had walked in.

Daddy sat down next to him, grinning and peering over his shoulder at the screen. “Do you like that one?”

Seth considered the clear, cock cage that curved downward. They’d talked about the purpose of using such a thing during lunch and why Daddy wanted him to wear one. Since both discussing them and shopping for them had him erect all over again, he’d decided that getting one made perfect sense.

“This one seems good because it has a lock and it’s meant to be worn all the time.” He squirmed on the chair. “Like you said you wanted.” Then Seth’s eyes darted to the price and his jaw fell open. “Never mind.”

Daddy scrolled through the description. “Why? Is there something else about it you don’t care for? Because I want you to be happy with whatever one we get.”

“No, I like it much better than those scary metal kind or the ones with the little plug…” Seth shuddered at the thought of anyone sticking something into his pee hole. “The little plug.”

Daddy glanced sideways at him with his lips pressed together before returning his attention to the screen. “What’s wrong with it then? I’ll see if I can find one that doesn’t feature anything that makes you uncomfortable.” Daddy clicked back to the list of options. “Do any of these others catch your eye?”

Seth leaned closer, pressing his arm against Daddy’s as he did. Maintaining physical contact with Daddy helped to ground him. He narrowed his eyes at the screen. Now that he’d noticed the prices of these things, he was horrified to discover that everything was pretty expensive. His eyes lighted on something more reasonably priced.

Twenty bucks isn’t bad. Much better than the hundred and fifty dollar one he’d been interested in. His shoulders slumped when he looked at the actual cage. The metal ringed item was more of a sleeve to keep his dick up and pointed out from his body. Not quite what they’d been going for.

“Seth? What was it about the other one you didn’t like? It seemed to have a lot of great features.”
