Page 45 of All Tied Up

“It won’t be too difficult for a beginner?”

“Nope. Jamie has the courses graded and he knows what he’s doing. He even has kids up there most weekends. How are you feeling about it?”

“I’m not sure if I’m going to do it. I might just watch.”

“You can if you want to. No one will pressure you to climb. What are you worried about?”

“I mean, I’m not very athletic, as you can see.” He gestured toward his lusciously soft belly. “And I’m not a huge fan of heights. I mean, it’s not a phobia, but… if I’m hiking, or, you know, walking, in the mountains, I stay away from the edge.”

Sebastian hadn’t realized that. Now he was really fascinated. “What made you sign up?”

“Jamie wanted me to do it and… I guess at the time I wanted to show myself that I could take a risk. Turns out I ended up taking an even bigger one.” He gave Sebastian a meaningful look.

“Would it help if I belayed you? Er, held the safety rope for you while you climb?” Sebastian added when it was clear Neil wasn’t familiar with the terminology. He’d planned on doing it anyway, but it sounded like Neil could use the reassurance.

“I would like that, Sir. But, um… I still might not do it.”

“There’s still no pressure. But Jamie and I won’t let you fall,” Sebastian promised, meaning it on every level. “Shall we head over?”

“Yes, Sir.” Every time Neil said those words it was like a prayer. If this was Neil’s fantasy, Sebastian could definitely get behind it.

They wandered to the trailhead behind the lodge, where Jamie efficiently checked off names and answered questions. Sebastian caught Jamie’s attention, gave a nod to show they were ready, then melted back around the corner of the lodge where Neil was waiting. He could still hear the group and see a few of the folks on the side, but they were mostly in their own bubble of space.

When one of the guests realized that he needed to run back inside for something, Jamie strolled over to them. “Hey, Daddy. I see you found him.” He gave Sebastian a quick kiss, then addressed Neil. “Still feeling up for this, babe?”

“Maybe. I think I want to try, at least.” Neil looked determined.

“No need to hide at the back,” Jamie invited with a smile. “You two should come walk with me.”

Sebastian grinned. “I think we’ll catch up in a minute. Even for a kinky crowd, we might not quite be ready.”

Jamie’s brow furrowed and then he broke out into laughter. “Neil!” he scolded in a playful whisper, “have you been a bad boy already?”

“No,” Sebastian replied smugly. “He’s been a very, very good boy.”

Neil just watched the interaction, cheeks pink and eyes hungry.

“God, Daddy, he’s adorable. And you two get to have all the fun. Can I kiss him? Just one teensy little kiss?”

This was not helping with the problem in Sebastian’s pants at all. He could already imagine how the two of them would look, lips tangled together and breath heaving.

“Depends if Neil’s ready for it. What do you say, sweet boy?”

“Please, Sir.”

Fuck. If there was anything sexier than his two boys begging him to kiss each other, he didn’t know what it was. “Go ahead, Jamie. No tongue. Take it slowly.”

Neil was already leaning against the wall as Jamie stepped into his space. Jamie cupped Neil’s face, just looking at him while the tension built. It was sexy as fuck, but also sensual. Emotional, even. Was that because of Sebastian’s command, or did Jamie feel the same urge to make sure Neil knew just how valuable he was?

Finally, Jamie leaned forward and brushed his lips against Neil’s. Sebastian watched, heart pounding. They were gorgeous together, a perfect counterpoint. Jamie with his smooth skin, bleached blond hair, and a touch of makeup. Neil with his bald head, scruffy mustache, and soft lines around his eyes, absolutely melting under that touch.

Jamie pulled back just far enough to whisper breathlessly against Neil’s cheek. “Oh, you’re tasty. We should do that again.”

“Not right now,” Sebastian interrupted. “You have a group to lead.”

Jamie huffed. “You’re no fun at all, Daddy.” Then he ran one hand right down Neil’s chest and over his cock before flouncing off. “Catch up soon!”

As if. But God, did he love the brat.
