Jacob makes a noise in the back of his throat, then rises from his chair. “When you figure shit out, let me know. I’m sure Alayna will love having another brother.”
“Get out of my office,” I grunt, and he laughs as he leaves.
I finish up my notes and head out, eager to get home to Lane.
That’s what it is.Eagerness.That’s why I like going home. I’m eager to see him. It has nothing to do with love.
Nothing.
When I step inside, I inhale deeply, the rich smell of whatever he’s cooking filling the air.
I round the corner, and when Lane glances over his shoulder at me, I smile.
“Hey, Daddy. How was work?” He turns the range off and moves the pot he was stirring from the burner.
“Good. Had two wisdom teeth removal surgeries and some consults.”
“Wisdom teeth removal is called…” He looks up at the ceiling, trying to recall the medical term for the procedure. “Odon-Odontec-”
“Odontectomy,” I answer, smiling at him.
“I was close.”
“Yeah, you were. You been okay here?”
He nods and strides over to me, then wraps his arms around my neck, offering me his lips. I capture them in a long kiss, my hands trailing down to his ass, squeezing the round globes. He moans into my mouth as I roll my hips, his hardening cock brushing against mine.
Lane wiggles out of my grasp, smiling up at me. “None of that. It’s dinner time. You’ve had a long day, and I want to feed my Daddy.”
That warm feeling in my chest grows as he walks away and pulls down plates for our dinner.
“Wait,” I tell him, grabbing him and pulling him behind me. “Let’s take a shower first. Then we can eat outside.”
I turn around to see Lane smiling widely. “Okay, Daddy. It’ll be like a date.” His eyes take on a dreamy quality. “It would be nice to go on a date with you. Out, you know?” I open my mouth,but he cuts me off. “I know it’s not possible. I was just saying. I would like to be out with my Daddy, is all.”
My chest constricts. I want to give him everything he wants, but I can’t give him that. He’s still a victim of kidnapping, and even as recent as last week, his partner was asking the public for clues on his disappearance. If I take him out on a date, with his face plastered everywhere, someone will call the police, and he’ll be taken from me. I can give him what I can now, in this house. That’s all.
Erasing my frown so I don’t make my boy sad, I say, “Yeah, we can have our date here.” I pull him in so I can whisper in his ear. “That means I can blow you under the table and not get arrested for indecent exposure.”
Lane giggles, loud and free, swatting me on the arm. “That’s a plus.”
I allow him to walk ahead of me so I can watch his ass in his panties. His rear is small but round and sexy, the perfect size for my hands. I love grabbing him there, love feeling the handful that belongs to me.
Wrapping my arm around his chest before he steps into the bathroom, I pull him back to me, kissing along the column of his neck. Lane moans, tipping his head back so I can get more skin into my mouth.
“Ry…” he mewls, gasping when I bite down on a sensitive spot. “We have to go on our date.”
I hum but don’t stop sucking and biting his skin, my marks showing up in sharp relief against his pale skin. “Soon. But right now, I want you, naked and under me.”
He sighs, melting back into me. “I missed you today,” he gasps, making my heart beat in triple time.
I missed him, too. I thought about him every second of the day. I’m glad I’ve been an oral surgeon long enough to do my job on autopilot.
Spinning Lane around, I grab him under his ass and hoist him into my arms. Lane gasps, and I swallow it down when I capture his lips in a languid kiss.
I don’t want him fast and hard tonight. I want to take my time and learn his body. I’ve drawn every inch of it, but I haven’t touched and tasted all of him.
Jacob’s words echo in the back of my mind as I lie Lane down on the bed, but I push them away. This isn’t love. This is wanting to know my boy’s body in its entirety.
