"Would you like to call me Daddy?" Izzy wanted it more than he'd ever wanted anything in his whole life. Despite his abandonment issues being front and center, his need for Todd, and for Ulises, hadn't changed.
Todd shivered again. "I think so."
"Then you can whenever you want but you don't have to." Izzy wanted to kiss Todd on his nape but refrained. Todd was right about having a conversation. But it wouldn't be about Todd needing space to work, although Izzy intended to give him that.
"What does it mean if I do?"
"For now, it means you're going to learn to trust me."
"Learn to? That's it?"
"You don't know me yet. It'll take time." Izzy needed to wrap his head around being in a relationship. The slower they went the better. They needed to take baby steps.
"That's…good."
"We'll talk about what else it will mean after you learn to trust me."
"Got it. Okay. I can do that." Todd started kneading the bread again. "What about Ulises? Does he call you Daddy, too?"
Izzy raised his eyebrows. He knew what Todd was asking him. Did he want to have a relationship with Ulises too? And the answer to that was yes, as much as that scared the crap out of him. "He has called me Daddy before. I'd like for him to again but it's complicated."
"Because you fucked it up." Seryn came into the room. He grinned at Izzy. "And now Ulises is going on a date with someone new."
"That was me. We went on a date together." Todd kneaded the bread harder, as if Seryn upset him, although Izzy wasn't sure how.
"Okay, someone else who's new. I think the guy is a Daddy so it might actually work out." Seryn didn't sit on the stool, which toldIzzy his intent was to piss off Izzy with the information. "They're meeting at the club tomorrow. Oh, and, DragonDaddy3, he's boycotting you until you put up pictures. If you two want to date Ulises too, you best figure it out. This will be the only time I help you."
Izzy growled but he didn't comment. A part of him thought it might be best if Ulises found a Daddy who wasn't scared shitless of losing him all the time.
It was Todd who stiffened and said, "We'll be at the club and by the end of the night Uises will know who wants him more."
Seryn chuckled and left the room. "Right."
"Challenge accepted." Todd went to town on the bread dough as if it pissed him off. And then he stopped and turned, meeting Izzy's gaze. "We had a connection, him and I. It was fire."
"How do you know?"
"Because we made out in the car at the drive-in theater. You know the one."
He'd never been there but he knew about it because it was one of a few remaining in the entire country. It was sort of famous for that reason. And it was a great spot for a date.
Izzy expected jealousy but none came, except for wishing he'd been able to watch. If he were any other dragon shifter with a mate, he would be jealous of anyone who touched him before they'd met, much like he'd been when he’d first met Evan. He still hated that little shit.
"And this make out session went well?" Izzy crossed his arms over his chest. If he didn't, he'd pull Todd into him and never let go. He might not have verbally agreed to give Todd space to do his job, but the agreement was still between them.
Todd gave him an incredulous look, tilting his head. Of the two, Izzy thought Ulises was the only one with sass. Boy, had he been wrong. Izzy wanted to grin but instead he raised hiseyebrows and tried to keep the amusement out of his expression. "You want details. I can tell."
Izzy smirked. "I'll share if you will. One detail about being with Ulises each."
Todd leaned over the counter, gazing out of the room as if seeing if anyone was nearby. When he turned back to Izzy, he nodded. "He straddled my lap. It was tight because of the steering wheel so I could feel him against me." Todd pointed to his own cock. "We would have gone further but it got awkward after that."
"We'll unpack the reason for the awkwardness now." Izzy had a good idea why already, but he needed to hear it from Todd. And probably Ulises at some point.
Todd met Izzy's gaze through his lashes. "We…um…we realized we're both submissive."
"You needed a Daddy to take you all the way, huh?" Izzy was so turned-on just from having this conversation.
Todd nodded. "We need you. That's what Ulises said."
