So instead of touring the world to packed out book shops and auditoriums, Harrison was now living a far more sedate life as a college lecturer upstate. The money was good and the slower pace of life allowed Harrison to live a little bit more freely.
When he wasn’t helping students with the first drafts of their novels, Harrison would find himself out hiking, rock climbing or generally doing any kind of physical activity in the great outdoors.
It was a far cry from the years when Harrison’s books were selling like hot cakes, and he was in demand for every hot party and opening night in the city. That all seemed like a distant memory to Harrison now, but he felt pretty comfortable with it.
And now that the fine, Japanese whiskey was being served up, Harrison and Chris’s attention began to finally turn from the professional to the more personal…
‘So, tell me, Harrison,’ Chris said, his green eyes flickering with mischief. ‘Any boys taking your fancy on campus?’
‘As you know, faculty-student relationships are strictly prohibited,’ Harrison said, slowly wagging his finger. ‘But to answer more broadly. No. Nothing. Not a single boy in town has grabbed my attention in a while. Maybe I’m just too old for all this.’
‘Come on, don’t give me that bullshit,’ Chris said, his finely coiffured black hair shining under the restaurant’s expensive lighting. ‘You’re a big beast of a Daddy. That flame doesn’t go out. Trust me, I should know!’
Harrison laughed. It was a big, wholesome belly laugh too. Chris had always had a serious appetite when it came to Littles. Although he had been single for a while, Chris had the kind of growling, snarling desire to spank cute little butts that was probably unmatched across the whole city.
And despite Harrison’s protestations to the contrary, Harrison did still feel the urge to bend a boy over his lap, pull his briefs down and dish out a good old-fashioned spanking.
‘Don’t think I don’t see that look in your eye,’ Chris smiled knowingly. ‘Just you wait until we get to the club. I’ll give you fifteen minutes before you’re eying up a delectable Little to make yours for the night.’
‘Don’t fucking bank on it,’ Harrison said, his defenses up. ‘I’ll come to the club, but that’s only to catch up with some of the guys. ‘And anyway, the last thing you should be doing is trying to set me up with some boy. I need my time and mind clear to finish this Goddamned novel you won’t stop hassling me for!’
The two Daddies laughed. They were back in their old groove. This was always the case when they met up, Harrison and Chris’s bond going back so long and so deep that they would never not be the best of buddies.
Chris may have been a couple of years older, but it was like they had the kind of bond that people who had come up in school together had. The pair of them had been through a lot together. Some of it good. Some of it not so good too…
Fuck. There will be cute boys out tonight.
But I’m not going there.
Maybe I won’t ever go there again…
Harrison couldn’t help but remember his last proper relationship. It had been at the height of his fame, and at the time Harrison felt like he had found his perfect match. Certainly, that was the way it had felt at the time. Justin was a good boy, full of spark and sass – just the way Harrison liked it.
But cracks began to show in the relationship as Harrison’s runaway book success meant he was busy all the time and jealousy from Justin began to creep into their relationship.
It was as if Justin couldn’t deal with the fact that Harrison’s time was in demand. Justin began to grow more and more suspicious of Harrison’s newfound friends and fame, gradually even becoming convinced that Harrison was running around town with other boys.
The truth was that Harrison had at times been tempted. Some of the cutest Littles in the city – and beyond – were practically throwing themselves at him. And being away from home and often in big, lonely cities only added to that temptation. But the truth was that Harrison had never once strayed. Despite the offers, Harrison had always been able to turn down the advances and stay loyal to Justin.
Sadly, Justin just didn’t see it this way. In the end, Justin’s jealousy turned to paranoia, toxicity, and a whole ton of arguments that never seemed to be resolved. The breakup was sad, difficult, and actually prompted Harrison to take up the offer of a lecturing job upstate.
The breakup with Justin had left an indelible mark on Harrison. There had been cute boys since Justin, but nothing serious. Nothing even approaching serious in fact. But short-term hookups had never really been Harrison’s thing. Just like the novels he wrote, what Harrison craved above everything else was a deep, substantial connection.
‘Damn, this whiskey is good,’ Harrison said, breaking himself out of his own daydream. ‘Hey, do you remember that time at Spank Bar in LA?’
‘Holy hell, yeah! Whiskey and Paddle Night,’ Chris chuckled. ‘Boy oh boy, I’d love to do that again.’
‘I might even finish this book to help make it happen,’ Harrison said, warming to the theme and forgetting any thoughts of Justin or past mistakes. ‘It was such a shame the movie deal never worked out. Shit. That’s life though, right? We fall, we get up again.’
‘Exactly, that’s the Harrison Hawk spirit,’ Chris said, raising his glass to toast. ‘Rise and fall, we get up and go again!’
The two Daddies continued to drink. The whiskey was good. Maybe too good. But before either one of the men consumed too much, Chris’s mind was back on thoughts of The Cuddle Corner…
‘My man, I’m going to call an Uber and get us to the club,’ Chris said, holding his cell phone in one hand and his whiskey glass in the other. ‘And don’t even attempt to back out now. You’re in the city for one night. Let’s keep this party going. Just like we used to. We’ll show those young gun Daddies how two real Doms hit the club.’
‘Man, I don’t know,’ Harrison said. ‘I know I said I’d go, but…’
‘But nothing. The only butts I want to hear about are the round, peachy kind we’ll both be spotting at the club!’ Chris roared, his infectious laugh proving impossible to resist.
