‘It sounds great,’ Channing said, his voice steadier now and a little smile in the corner of his mouth. ‘After all, Daddy does know best…’
‘Indeed he does,’ Max chuckled.
And with that, Max took his darling boy to get plenty of cooling gel onto his throbbing butt before a quick bedtime story and then a nice, long night of sleep.
Being a Daddy to a whip smart boy like Channing had plenty of wonderfully hot and wholesome moments – but Max knew that sometimes he would have to do what all good Daddies do and lay down the law. And, truth be told, even that had its upsides too…
Chapter 13
CHANNING
Channing knew that things were changing. And he liked how it felt.
A week had passed since the risqué fun on the sands of the secluded beach cove. Channing couldn’t quite believe that he had actually gone through with it and put himselfallout there on public display like that.
But it had been worth it - and it had led to some even wilder and hotter fun in the ensuing days.
Channing knew that Max was the right person to have put himself out there on the beach with. And Channing knew too that Max wouldn’t have led Channing into it if he thought there wastoo muchrisk of getting caught.
Importantly, Channing trusted Max. Max made Channing feel safe - even when the stakes were higher than normal.
As much as Max had always played it fast and loose with the rules, he had never put Channing at risk. It just wasn’t Max’s style.
What was also on Channing’s mind was that he was beginning to feel more and more sure that Max was ready to embrace his true identity as a fully-blown, committed Daddy Dom.
And the fun hadn’t ended at the cove either.
Over the course of the ensuing week, Channing and Max had been getting fully reacquainted with pretty much every single part of their bodies. It seemed like nothing was off the table when it came to matters of the bedroom, or outdoors for that matter.
Everything was totally consensual and safe, but with the unmistakable hint of danger that Max brought to the table. There had been several spankings and paddlings, with the roles reversing on more than one occasion as Channing decided that it was Max’s turn to have his magnificently sculpted butt cheeks warmed up to record temperatures.
All in all, it was a whole ton of fun.
Channing couldn’t think of another time when his home was so full of laughter, banter, and red-hot steamy moments. It was like something out of the romance novels that Channing would read on his Kindle.
All of this was on Channing’s mind as he mooched around in his apartment’s ground floor garden. It was only a small courtyard really, but Channing had spent time filling it with greenery and exotic touches, with artefacts from his travels in Europe and South AmTeddya adorning the walls and corners.
I’ve seen so much in the world.
But there’s so much more to see too.
Would… Max… travel with me?
Thoughts of making long term plans with Max would have seem totally deluded to Channing had anyone asked him about it a couple of weeks ago. Max wasn’t the kind of guy you could make a reliable plan for a single date with, let alone someone who you could arrange overseas travel alongside.
However Channing wasn’t so sure that was still the case.
Max was evolving. That much seemed obvious to Channing. Max may have been at a low point in some ways, and it was true that they needed to have a proper discussion about exactly what had been going on in his life prior to showing up at Channing’s place.
However, as bad as some things were, it was clear that Max was doing much better in other ways too. Channing didn’t want to take too much of the credit for that, but it was undeniable that Max seemed super-settled and contented in Channing’s company.
There were still questions swirling around in Channing’s mind though.
But is he ready to settle down?
Not just for now, but forever?
And would Max even want to do that with me?
