Calming my voice, I whispered, “It freaked me out because I don’t want them hurt, ever. I lost my parents, and that is traumatic. If we didn’t work out and I had to leave them, I’d never forgive myself.”
“Then don’t leave them, and I don’t just mean don’t leave me. I mean, if we are still going strong in a year or two, adopt Colby.”
I sat up and stared back at him like he’d gone crazy. “What?”
“He needs another parent in his life, Kanan. Mom, dad, it doesn’t matter to a child. And he sees you as my husband already. There’s one more step, and it’s big, but you and I, together, can get through it.”
Realizing then that I didn’t have to worry alone, that I had a partner, it helped. “Okay. Next time, I’ll come to you.”
“I’m not saying don’t speak to your friends. Kan, they’re great. I got close to them too when I was pulling that sneaky stuff. They’re good to speak to about your fears and anxiety.”
“Still, I’ll come to you first.”
“Good,” he said, then the serious voice turned dark and menacing. “Kama.”
Immediately, my insides churned with excitement and my body heated. “Yes, Sir.”
“Go shower, dress in something warm, comfortable and easy to remove.”
I brightened considerably. “Will do, Sir.”
I hurried to shower, clean out and then find some loose sweats. It was beginning to snow again, which made me stop at the window, staring out of it. “Shit. Chandler’s driving in this,” I said to myself, but Rick was coming into the room and heard me.
“I just spoke to him. He’s there and it’s snowing enough that he isn’t going to the diner tonight, so he asked if they could stay another night.”
I was relieved to hear they were safe. “I’d rather that than him driving on icy roads, Rick. If you think it’s best.”
“I agree with you. Let them stay. Eileen will be thrilled. She loves little Colby and considers him her nephew as well as Chandler. They’ll have a lovely, if a little boring, time.”
“Better boring than dangerous,” I said then laughed. “I’m terrible, but I’d rather see them both home and wrapped in pillows to never be hurt. That’s no life, but I still…”
“It’s being a parent, Kanan. We know we have to let go, but we never want to stop protecting them.”
He took my hand and pulled me close. “I’m going to shower now. Why don’t you head over to the guesthouse and make sure it’s warm enough in there and we have plenty of lube and supplies for aftercare.”
“Yes, Sir,” I said but stole a long, slow kiss that made me sweat. I was breathless by the time we pulled away from it and I managed to whisper, “Damn, you are a great kisser.”
“You, too. I love kissing you, but I’m really going to love doing dirty things to you.”
“Can’t wait.”
I made it to the guest house while Rick showered. The heat was up to a nice temperature without being so warm we’d suffocate once we got going. In the playroom, I checked on the provisions and found that Rick had restocked everything. I sat on the bed, gazing around the room, remembering the last time I’d been on that bed and then grabbed my balls. The balls that hadn’t been relieved since.
Rick wouldn’t give me a straight answer about when I’d be allowed to come. He was cagey, my boyfriend and Dom. There would be relief someday, but I didn’t mind waiting. If it made him happy, I would do anything.
I heard the front door as I left the bedroom, and Rick met me on the stairs. “Everything set?”
“Yes, Sir. You restocked everything, so I’m guessing it was busy work.”
Rick’s eyes twinkled with mischief. “It was. I wanted you here, getting…comfortable. Now, get the clothes off and hide. We’re gonna play a game.”
I was intrigued. “Sir? Hide?”
“Hide and seek,” he said cheerily, but in that gruff, sex voice he’d used while wearing the mask in Cowpokes. “Adult version.”
“Yes, Sir,” I said, smiling. “Adult version, indeed.”
I stripped off my sweatshirt, keeping my eyes on him until I couldn’t. His hand went to my chest, his fingers pinching my nipple. I waited until he finished with the twist he gave me before I removed my shoes, pants and underwear to stand before him, naked.
