“Not tonight, baby.” Carson tugged on Sam’s hair.
Sam shivered. “But…”
“Tonight, I’m going to take you to bed and make you sleep. We have time for more later.”
Sam pouted and Carson knew if he wasn’t careful, his beautiful boy would have him wrapped around his finger soon enough.
Carson lifted a brow and made sure that his face showed his seriousness.
“Fine.” Sam huffed before burying his face back in Carson’s chest. “If you insist.”
“I do.” Carson wasn’t an idiot. He was in for a rough night ahead of him. It would be near impossible to hold Sam all night and not take more but he was a patient man. Age did have its advantages after all.
Chapter Six
Sam
Driving to work, Sam hummed along with the radio, not remembering ever being so happy in his entire life. He’d finally slept all the way through the night, and he knew it was because of Carson holding him. He’d wanted more, a lot more, but it was nice that Carson stuck to his word and merely held Sam in his arms.
He wasn’t used to being held when there had been no sex.
Sam wasn’t a virgin. There was a club in town that catered to boys like him, and Sam had found willing partners but never quite what he needed. He’s played, Sam was open with his sexuality, but most men were looking for a partner for a night or two. Very few wanted the commitment that Sam needed.
He didn’t have a lot of relationships as Sam found it hard to trust other people. The fear that that the man Sam picked up would find out who he really was or, worse, the chance that he’d been sent by his family? No, Sam didn’t trust very many people and although he’d been on the lookout for a Daddy, Sam was the one that put up obstacles.
The few men that had wanted more with Sam hadn’t inspired the kind of trust that Sam required. That Sam already felt for Carson. Deep down Sam knew that this time was different. The lieutenant already knew who Sam was and instead of using that information against him, Carson had promised to protect him.
He giggled as he took the last turn that would take him downtown. Glancing in his rearview mirror, he spotted the black SUV behind him making the same turn. That wasn't unusual but Sam’s stomach dropped and his hands shook. There was just something about that SUV that bothered him.
Luckily, Sam wasn’t far from the coffeehouse, and he sped up a little even though he was already pushing the speed limit. At least if he got pulled over, there would be a cop near him.
He didn’t get pulled over and less than ten minutes later he turned into the alley behind the shop. The SUV passed him, and Sam let his shoulders relax. He wasn’t being followed. That was silly. Who would even care enough about him to follow some guy that owned a coffee shop?
Sam pulled up to the back door then turned off the engine and climbed out of the car. He looked up at the iron staircase that led to the apartment that Caden used to live in. The apartment was empty now and Sam had no plans for it. He thought about offering the place to Adam who currently lived with two guys that he went to school with. They weren’t really Adam’s friends but instead guys that had needed a roommate. Adam’s house was small, but it was bigger than that tiny apartment so maybe Adam wouldn’t want to move? It was something to think about anyway.
He slipped his key into the lock and grinned to see that Adam had two helpers that morning.
“I might as well put you both on staff at this point,” Sam said as he hung his bag up.
Nash grinned at him while Lucas winked.
“Or maybe we should have a rule about only employees allowed in the back,” Adam grouched out.
“Aww, baby, you wouldn’t do that to Caden. He wouldn’t get his kisses if he couldn’t drag Lincoln back here.” Nash grinned.
Adam opened his mouth before he shook his head. “Fine.”
Sam eyed his friend and didn’t miss the fact that Adam had been dressing just a little sharper than he used to. Not that jeans or a long-sleeve shirt was fancy, but in the fall and winter Adam preferred wearing sweatpants, and Sam didn’t think that he’d seen Adam’s sweats at all this year. Adam hated to be cold and cooler weather was a time he hated.
His friend might not be ready to admit it, but he was interested in the two men currently watching him work.
Nash and Lucas were making their interest known and Sam wasn’t sure how long Adam would be able to hold out. Nash was a good-looking guy, with a constant smile and kind eyes. He had tattoos up and down his arms, but they were nothing compared to the amount that Lucas sported.
All the men around them were big but Lucas was a giant. He was just big all over and his muscles had muscles. Even with fall in full season, Lucas wore tanks and shredded jeans that showed off the artwork that covered his body. Both Nash and Lucas were attractive, but Sam couldn’t help but compare them to Carson.
Sam knew that Nash was in his mid to late forties and Carson was almost a decade older. Sam had always been attracted to older men and Carson was the type that he’d always been drawn too. The gray streaks in Carson’s short hair made Sam’s fingers twitch, wanting to touch.
“Sam! Hey, you okay?” Adam must have called his name more than once as he had set his gloves down and looked at Sam with concern.
