Page 12 of Slippery When Wet

Ellery wondered if it was appropriate to have a boner under the circumstances. Was he ruining a tender moment between them? Because clearly, his dick wasn’t concerned with tenderness.

Ellery cleared his throat. “That would be amazing. But…” He winced again. “You don’t know me yet. What if I annoy you, and you realize you’ve made a horrible mistake?”

Calvin barked out a laugh. “Well, that’s true. However, I’ve also rejected plenty of boys after one scene because I sensed immediately we wouldn’t be a good fit.” He tilted his head. “We’re spending the day together, right?”

“Yeah.”

Ellery wiggled on the seat. He didn’t want to offend his dream man by trying to be sensible—even if his heart was telling him something different. At the same time, what could be the harm in giving them a try? To give being a boy to Calvin’sDaddya try?

“Um, I want what you’re saying, too. Being your boy sounds incredible, like a dream. But I also want to be careful, you know?”

His throat tightened, fear gripping him that maybe he’d ruined everything with Calvin.

Calvin nodded. “Absolutely. I don’t want you making any hasty decisions, either. I suppose I didn’t communicate as well as I should’ve. I consider today to be a start, not theonlychance you have to decide if you want us to be Daddy and boy forever and ever.” Calvin smiled again. “I simply wanted to reassure you that I’m very interested, that I believe we’ll be a great match for more than one scene. Does that help to clarify?”

Ellery smiled back. “Yeah, it does. And…” He ducked his head. “I think we’ll be a great match, too.”

“Even the age play?” Calvin arched his eyebrows.

“Oh, well…” Ellery chuckled shakily. “I guess that’s why I still need time. But actually…” He needed to just let it out. After all, this is what Calvin loved, wanted. There wasn’t a reason to be embarrassed by his needs. “I already told you how I feel about the… diapers.” Ellery gathered every ounce of bravery that existed within him and lifted his eyes. “I just don’t know if I can get into the headspace for the other Little stuff. You know, like reallyfeelingit for real and playing with toys and all that.”

“That’s understandable. It doesn’t happen often that Little boys or girls can adopt the mindset right off the bat.” Calvin gave a small shrug. “Some do, to be sure. Some Littles have been that way all along on their own, but perhaps didn’t have a name for it or weren’t able to find someone to be their Mommy or Daddy.”

“Oh, I didn’t know that.”

A thread of worry coursed through Ellery, his fear returning that age play might not be his jam. Sure, he loved video games and cartoons, but so did a lot of adults. And yeah, he had a stuffed animal—Honey Bunny—that he sometimes slept with when he felt lonely. He frowned. Then there was the train set he’d loved as a kid that he’d never been able to get rid of.

Hmm…

“Let me ask you something, Ellery. What else is it about wearing a diaper that turns you on?”

Ellery cringed. When Calvin said it out loud, it sounded more embarrassing to talk about. Although Calvin hadn’t blinked an eye when he asked, so he shouldn’t get so worked up about it.

Ellery wiped his sweaty palms on his dress slacks. “Besides the intimacy? Because that’s a big part of it. But also, I guess it seems as though a man would have to really care about his boy to bother going through such a hassle.”

“That’s true, excellent observation. And so it’s clear, that’s what I love about so much of Daddy care. It does foster a true intimacy I haven’t found in any vanilla relationship. And for me, caring for my boy that way is the farthest thing from being a hassle I can think of.” Calvin inclined his head. “Are there other aspects of Daddy care—specifically, age play—you think you might find appealing?”

Ellery figured he’d might as well run with the conversation. After all, it was ‘getting to know you’ day, and this might be his chance to figure out if going down the age play road was for him after all.

“I was considering that question, and there might be a few things? I still don’t know a lot about age play, only what Reese told me. So mostly, I doubt I’ll know until I give different activities a try.” Ellery forged ahead. “But, Idohave a favorite stuffed animal I sleep with when I get stressed out or sad. And things like video games, cartoons, comic books—those are all interesting to me. I’ve also always wished I could have cuter stuff that other people might find babyish or look at me weird if they found out.”

“Oh?” Calvin nodded sagely. “That might be an excellent place for us to start. Tell me about them.”

Ellery straightened some more against the seat, his previous discomfort over the subject matter beginning to dissipate. “For instance, I love sea creatures.Finding Nemois one of my favorite cartoons. I used to want to collect everything I could from that movie. And even before that, when I was a little kid, I had squeezy toy fish and whales and even a seahorse that I played with in the tub.”

He laughed lightly. “It used to drive my mom crazy how long I’d want to stay in there, until I was shriveled up like a prune. So, whenever I see cartoonish undersea orFinding Nemoplates, cups or that type of thing meant for really little kids, I wish I could have them.”

Calvin’s smile widened. “Youcanhave them. I’d happily give those to you.”

A lump filled Ellery’s throat. Why the hell he was getting emotional over plastic cups, he couldn’t imagine. He had to clear his throat to respond. “You would? And…and I could use them in front of you and everything?”

“I’d encourage it, sweetheart.”

Ellery blinked away a few tears and sniffed. “Then I think that would be an age play thing I’d like.”

Calvin leaned forward and patted Ellery’s knee. “Wonderful. After the doctor looks you over, maybe you’d like to share something in that realm with me today?”

Ellery trembled, biting back his emotions again. “Sure. That would be awesome.”
