Page 13 of Thrust Me Daddy

‘Always making excuses,’ Ranger laughs, sipping on his espresso. ‘Here, it’s still hot.’

Ranger passes me a double espresso and I know he’s telling the truth the second that the strong roast hits my tongue.

‘Damn, that’s good,’ I say, taking my seat at the table with two of my closest Daddy friends. ‘I might have been late, but without me you guys would never have discovered this place.’

‘Whatever,’ Reece laughs, shaking his head in mock-disgust. ‘But now that you’refinallyhere, I think it’s time you filled me in on Diner Boy…’

‘Diner Boy?’ I snort. ‘You’ve given him a nickname already?’

Reece loves coming up with nicknames for people, especially boys. Being a former professional soccer player, locker room culture has always played a big part in Reece’s life – and there’s nothing that screams locker room more than nicknames!

‘I think it suits him,’ Ranger adds, a hint of mischief in his voice. ‘As I was saying to Reece before you arrived, you definitely wanted to take a big bit out of the boy’s cake…’

Ranger and Reece laugh together, and it’s not long before I cave and break out into a big smile too.

Ranger is right, Mikey is all kinds of hot – and I definitely want a taste of his strong, round booty.

But I think I need to explain to my Daddy bros where I’m coming from right now…

‘It’s not about the quick hookup for me now,’ I say, motioning to the barista for another round of coffees. ‘I’ve got that feeling like I want to settle down. Reece, you must know what I mean right?’

Reece nods.

It wasn’t too long ago that Reece himself was the playboy retired sports star who would make his way through boy after boy.

But ever since he met Xander, Reece has only had eyes for one boy and one boy only.

‘I know what you mean,’ Reece says. ‘Since me and Xander got together, I’ve not looked back. All jokes aside, if you think that Diner Boy is the one for you, then I think you should go for it.’

‘Reece, you haven’t heard the best part yet,’ Ranger laughs. ‘Go on, tell him.’

I grimace.

Reece’s advice for me to go for it with Mikey sounds great. Except for the fact that I’ve got no way to contact him – I gave Mikey my number, but I didn’t ask for his. This seemed like a good idea at the time but all of a sudden I’m beginning to regret it in a big way.

I explain what happened to Reece.

And if I was expecting any sympathy, then I really shouldn’t have been…

‘Talk about dropping the ball!’ Reece laughs. ‘Boy oh boy, I would never have put the great Trent Thomas down as making the wrong play when it came to a sexy baby boy.’

‘First time for everything,’ I say, wistfully. ‘I guess this is one situation I might just have to put down to experience. Hey, it’s not like the boy wasthatcute.’

I see Ranger and Reece exchanging a quick glance.

They don’t believe me for a second – and I don’t blame them either.

‘Okay, okay, the boy was gorgeous,’ I say. ‘Big, strong, but with the sweetest smile. Fuck. I screwed this one up.’

My two buddies can see that I’m not fooling around, and Ranger swiftly changes the subject so that I don’t feel too down.

That what I love about my relationship with Ranger and Reece. We’ve got a shared respect for one another that allows us to rip into each other one moment, and then be there emotionally the next.

I value my brothers so much.

I guess I just wish that I had a boy to bring into my life too…

Still, even if I don’t have a boy, I know that I’ve got some of the finest coffee I’ve ever had – and speaking of which, it seems like Ranger has taken a shine to the new barista.
