OLLIE

After I exit Little Land,I walk through Central Park and call Callum. I use the burner phone I purchased the day after I escaped the warehouse to dial his number in a private location. Callum's the only person who has this number, so I'm not worried anyone will intercept the call.

Of course, I can't control it if someone overhears me on the street. That's why I slip onto a desolate trail that's not filled with families. It's a sunny day for the first time all week and the park is crowded, so I must be careful.

“Hey, Callum.” I keep my voice low as my friend picks up his phone.

“Ollie!” Callum sounds excited to speak to me. “I'm glad you called.”

“How are things?”

“I'm chilling with my Daddy on the beach.” Callum lets out a wolf whistle. “Let me tell you, Benedetto looks amazing in his speedo. He refused to wear it at first—he still harbors insecurities about the mean things his ex-boyfriend said to him—but I convinced him it'd be fun. I'm so proud of my Daddy for pushing past his fear and living his best life.”

“That's incredible.”

Callum's partner Benedetto is a big, fluffy Daddy with a heart of gold. As Callum explained two weeks ago, he experienced discrimination when his ex-boyfriend made quips about his weight. His boyfriend was a fatphobic loser asshole who judged people on their outside appearance, not on the contents of their hearts. Unlike his ex, Callum loves everything about Benedetto: inside and out. He loves his Daddy's thick, rotund body, his hairy chest, and his delicious cooking. He snuck me a tray of cannoli Benedetto made and fuck, it was delicious. We had dessert in the warehouse, but it was typically barely edible rice pudding. Eating Benedetto's cannoli was like biting into a cloud.

“Let me send you a picture.” Callum puts me on speakerphone. “Hold up, Daddy. Smile for the camera.”

“Why, boy?” a growly voice says. I recognize it at once as Benedetto's.

“Ollie needs to see you in your speedo.”

“I'm shy.” Benedetto sounds helpless. “My belly is too big.”

“There's no such thing as too big of a belly,” Callum says proudly. “Come on, Daddy. I want to show off my sexy stud muffin.”

Benedetto lets out a huff. “If you say so.”

The sound of a shutter going off reaches my ears. A moment later, I receive a picture of Benedetto at the beach.

He looks incredible. There's no other way to put it. Sun dances off his hairy chest and lights up his curves. His thunder thighs are coated in white sand from the private section of the beach where he and Callum play. A substantial bulge pops out of his speedo, impressive and mouthwatering.

Well, I'll be damned. I never expected Callum to pick up such a hunk, but I'm glad he did. Callum had the biggest dick in the warehouse, actually the biggest dick out of any boy I'd ever seen. The fact that his Daddy looks like he has him beat in the length department must be a dream come true.

“Impressive.” I can't help but drool over the picture.

“Right? I can't believe Daddy was too shy to show off his speedo. He's the most beautiful hunk I've ever seen.”

“Benedetto doesn't have any plus-sized friends, does he?” A tingle of arousal works its way into my loins, but I push it down. This is my friend's partner, for fuck's sake. I refuse to cross that bridge. “Or brothers lurking around?”

Callum clears his throat. “Ollie wants to know if you have any thick friends, Daddy.”

“Ollie's the psychopath on a killing rampage, right?” Benedetto queries.

“Yes.”

Well, geez, it doesn't sound good when he puts it like that.

“There's a man who used to swing by the Little Bunny Club with his ex-wife,” Benedetto says. “He never stated what he did for a living, but he had a Dad bod. Constantine's friends with him and thinks he's a hitman—he and Ollie might get along.”

“I appreciate you not judging me after you called me a murderous psychopath,” I drawl, fighting back a laugh. “But I was joking.”

“What were you joking about?” I can practically see Callum's eyes turn to slits from here. “Was it wanting one of Benedetto's friends or a plus-sized partner? That's nothing to make fun of.”

“I'm not in the market for a relationship. I'm too busy hunting down the assholes who hurt me.”

Callum lets out a sigh. “You can do both at the same time.”
