Our worrier had done a great job in the moment, but I wasn’t sure how he’d do in the long run. If his Daddy side stayed out around Brady, it’d probably be fine, but that brought up other fun questions like how he’d deal with Brady’s Daddy…and whatever bad habits Joel picked up from Brady.
Joel cocked his head and put on his cute thinking face as he considered what I’d said. The fact that he was putting so much effort into looking adorable said he wasn’t really invested in the outcome, so I focused on Dean.
Hmm.
His eyes were normal-sized again but he was watching Joel like our sub was a kink-bomb that was ready to explode.
“What if I want to talk to other littles and play with them?” Joel somehow managed to time that perfectly for our server to show up at the table.
As I tried not to laugh and Dean just sighed, the guy grinned. “Welcome to Olive Garden. I’m Marshall and I’m going to be your server today. Once I get your drinks, I can point you to the littles over at the college if you haven’t run into them yet, or I could give you the contact info for the grown-up kink crowd that meets on a regular basis.”
Their employees had gotten a lot more helpful than the last time we’d been in.
“You get all the weird customers, huh?” Dean was shaking his head before the guy had time to nod. “Great.”
“I get the best stories to tell and most of the time the kink community tips really well.” He seemed to be enjoying our drama too, so I had a feeling part of his enjoyment was some kind of Dom thing. “I’m also impossible to shock, so you don’t need to worry about stopping your conversation randomly every time I walk by to check on you.”
“That’s good to know. Thank you.” Joel’s wide-eyed smile and the way he was radiating utter delight would’ve gotten him a date with our waiter under other circumstances, but luckily for him, we were there to keep things from getting confusing.
Our waiter just gave Dean and me curious looks causing me to shake my head. “He’s just cheerful.”
And Joel’s head cocked as he blinked. “And cute and now confused.”
That got a chuckle from the server. “You’ve got a handful.”
Oh yeah.
But he was ours…we just had to figure out exactly what that meant.
Chapter 3
Joel
I ate my veggies.
I got dessert.
I made my Doms happy.
I was so special it was exhausting.
“I think…” Yawning, I shook my head. “I think we need to do dinner earlier so I can take a nap after it.”
“That would be lunch.” Dean was being very Daddy as he used the hand on my back to steer me up the stairs, but he looked like he wanted to laugh too. “But you wanted to go for dinner, not lunch.”
“Because I’m worth dinner.” Lunch special wasn’t as special. “It’s like a coffee date versus a meal one.”
Duh. Even I knew that.
Dean stopped on the stairs and needed Tate to start steering him up the stairs. “That actually makes sense.”
Yep.
“Don’t let that scare you. He’s mostly nuts.” Tate snickered as I scoffed and huffed the rest of the way up the stairs.
“I’m offended and must be bribed to be pleasant.” Making sure they knew what should come next seemed like the right way to handle the situation since they didn’t always understand relationship rules.
“Is that how it works?” A quiet voice echoed through the stairwell as Tate unlocked the apartment. “I want to be offended.”
As someone with a deeper voice started grumbling, Tate raised one eyebrow at me and whispered. “Starting trouble wherever you go.”
“It’s not my fault they didn’t know the rules.” I was not going to take responsibility for someone else’s lack of education.
Dean was shaking his head as we went inside, so I knew he was on my side.
“Now, how are you going to bribe me?” I was polite and had waited until Tate had shut the door to make sure the neighbors didn’t hear how good my bribe was going to be, but I wasn’t going to let them put it off.
I’d been fed and desserted and attentioned, so I was ready for something special to top it all off with. Cartoons. Orgasms. Cuddles, maybe. I was flexible.
“Well, since I was the main contributor to the offence, I should probably be the one to make the bribe.” Tate frowned and I was glad he knew he’d been naughty. “I’m going to let you do whatever you want to me. I think that’s fair.”
Oh. He bribed really well.
“I was part of it too.” Dean shrugged, letting out a sigh. “So I have to help. I’m going to let you do whatever you want to me too.”
I had very good Doms.
