Chapter 8 Ellis #2
"You don't have to go in tonight." I stopped him as he passed me in the hall. "You can call in sick and take a night off."
"I need to work." His voice was flat as he shook his head without meeting my eyes. "I need the money."
"Adam." I cupped his cheek and waited for him to look back at me. “You don’t need the money that badly. There are other jobs that don’t leave you so vulnerable.”
His red-rimmed eyes pleaded with me to give in to him. "I need the routine of going in every night. You don’t have to stay with me, but if I stay here, I’ll go crazy."
I didn’t like it, but I knew what he meant. No place was entirely safe, but staying on a routine gave him some control of his life. So we went. As usual, I stayed right next to him the entire shift, hyper-aware of every car that pulled in.
Derek didn't show up, but he was still winning because the tension in Adam's shoulders never eased up.
When we finally got home at seven-thirty in the morning, Adam went straight to the bedroom and stripped out of his clothes. He stood there and held his arms up, welcoming me to join him.
"I just want to feel safe again." He stepped into my arms and wound his arms around my neck. "I need to feel like I belong somewhere."
"You belong here, baby." I cupped his face and kissed him softly. "With me."
He swallowed hard and didn’t look away. "Do you really mean that? Like, forever."
"Absolutely." I kissed him again, this time with more passion. "You're mine, Adam. And I promise to always keep you safe and protected."
The fear was still painted on his face, but underneath it was something else. A need that he usually tried to hide from me. "Show me," he whispered. "Show me I'm yours."
He didn’t have to ask twice.
I kissed him again, deeper this time.
Adam responded by fisting in my shirt and yanking it up my chest. Within seconds, I was just as naked as he was and rolling us over so I was on top of my boy. I settled between his legs and then grabbed the lube from my nightstand.
Adam planted his feet on the bed and lifted his ass up to give me better access. “Just use a little. I want to feel you fill me up.”
"Fuck, baby." I pulled back long enough to coat my fingers with lube so I could get him ready to take my fat cock. "I don’t want to hurt you, but you’re definitely gonna feel this."
He relaxed underneath me and pulled his knees back. “Hurry, Daddy.”
I chuckled and slid my middle finger into his tight hole. He never complained about pain, but I was always careful not to hurt him. "I’m getting there." I pushed in a few times before adding a second finger. He wasn’t the only one in a hurry.
Adam flushed. "Get there faster, Daddy. I want to feel you in my tummy."
I rolled my eyes and kissed his neck before working my way along his jaw. "You’ll feel me everywhere, baby."
I wanted to take my time, but Adam was a mess beneath me, whimpering and begging for me to give him my big Daddy dick.
"Now, Daddy!" He was almost sobbing. "I'm ready for you to be inside me."
"Okay, baby." I grabbed a condom from the nightstand and rolled it on, then I pushed into his opening, watching his face for any sign of discomfort.
Adam's mouth fell open, and his eyes fluttered closed as his whole body relaxed around me. “Yeeeesssss…”
I held still once I was fully seated inside him to check in with him. "You good?"
"So good." He turned and kissed my arm with a sigh. "You can move, please."
I started slowly, building a steady rhythm until Adam was meeting me thrust for thrust. "You're mine, Adam." I leaned down for a kiss and worked in and out even faster. "Say it."
"I'm yours."
Good, but not good enough. "What was that?"
"I'm yours, Daddy." His voice broke on the last word as he dug his fingers into my shoulders. "All yours. Always."
"That's right." I picked up the pace and changed my angle to hit the spot that made him convulse in pleasure. "Mine to protect. Mine to care for. Mine to love."
"Yes!" He gasped and came against my abs, coating us both in his cream. "Yes, yes, yes, Daddy. "
We moved together, chasing the pleasure that was so easy between us. His climax lasted a full minute before he exhaled deeply and relaxed into the mattress. I followed right behind, burying my face in his neck as his tight channel milked my balls dry.
For a long moment, we stayed locked together without anything between us but our breath. Finally, I carefully pulled out and dealt with the condom before getting us both cleaned up.
Once I was cuddled against him again, Adam looked at me through heavy-lidded eyes. "That was amazing."
"Yeah, it was." I rubbed his back and nipped at his shoulder. "You’re amazing."
"So are you, Daddy." He nuzzled into me. "Only you make me feel safe."
"Good." I pulled him on top of my chest and ran my fingers through his hair. "All I want is for you to feel safe."
"I do." He paused for a moment then bit his lip as he cocked his head to look at me. "Because I love you."
His words hit me square in the chest. I'd known I was falling in love with Adam for a while, but hearing him say it first made everything real. "I love you too. So much, baby.”
"Really?" He sucked in a sharp breath and his shoulders inched closer to his ears. “For real?”
"Really for real." I wiped away the tears that spilled over and kissed his wet cheeks. "You’ve brought me more happiness than I knew was possible, Adam. No matter what we’re doing, or if we’re doing nothing at all, I’m just so happy you’re in my life."
He buried his face in my chest, and just clung to me as he started to drift off. He was almost asleep when he mumbled, "Love you, Daddy."
"I love you too, sweetheart." I pulled the blanket up over us and finally felt relaxed enough to sleep too.
