Chapter Four #2
Nicky began to suck on his tongue and Law nearly tackled the boy to the ground.
Instead, he lifted his free hand to bury his fingers in Nicky’s longish hair.
Nicky had complained the previous night that he needed a haircut, but Law had to disagree.
He quite enjoyed being able to tug on the silky strands to force Nicky’s head back.
Law kissed Nicky with all the pent-up arousal that he’d been holding inside him.
Nicky ripped his mouth away to pant as Law blinked his eyes open, pleased with the awe on Nicky’s face.
Peppering Nicky’s chin, cheeks, and finally his nose with gentle kisses, Law hoped to give the boy a few moments to collect his thoughts.
“Wow,” Nicky finally said.
Law chuckled. “Should I get you out of that garland now?”
“Not if it means I don’t get more kisses like that,” Nicky said with a sassy wink.
“You can have all the kisses you want.” Law tested the tightness of the garland. “I also don’t want you to lose feelings in your arms. Liam wasn’t exactly thinking when he did this.”
“It is getting kind of itchy,” Nicky confessed.
“Hold still for me,” Law ordered. He searched for the end of the garland strand, so he didn’t have to cut it. There was so much more fun they could have with that later. Finding the end tucked under Nicky’s armpit, he yanked, making Nicky laugh.
Law stopped and frowned.
“Tickles,” Nicky told him.
Law smirked. “Hold still.”
Nicky kept wiggling around. “Trying.”
No, he wasn’t. As Law attempted to unwind the garland, Nicky was all over the chair, filling the kitchen with his giggles. Taking the end of the garland, Law rubbed it under Nicky’s chin. Nicky squirmed, nearly falling out of the chair.
Law dropped the end of the garland before picking Nicky up. He set Nicky on the counter.
Nicky’s face was red as he attempted to rein in his giggles. It was a sight that not only was Law proud of being the cause of, but made his entire body feel lighter. Picking up the garland end again, he slowly began to unwrap it from around Nicky.
“You can just cut it off,” Nicky suggested.
“Oh no, baby,” Law said as he finally got the first strand free. Only three more to go. “We will be playing with this later.”
Nicky audibly swallowed. “We will?”
Law found the end for the second strand. “As long as you consent. I think we can have some holiday fun with this.”
“Would you wear your Santa hat?” Nicky asked.
“Is that what my boy wants? To play Santa and his hostage?” And Law had kept that damn hat on all damn day since Nicky had grinned every time he’d seen Law wearing it.
“Present,” Nicky answered quickly. “A special present for Santa.”
Hmm, Law didn’t see a problem with that. In fact, he might be able to make that game even more fun for the boy. “Then I need to be very careful not to rip this.”
Nicky straightened, holding himself very still. “Okay, Santa Daddy.”
Fuck! Law almost dropped the garland. That was hot as hell.
Nicky’s cheeks turned red as he peered up at Law from under his lashes.
“Santa Daddy brings good boys the best gifts.” Law grabbed Nicky’s chin between his thumb and finger with his free hand. “And you are my very good boy.”
“The best boy,” Nicky agreed.
Law unwound the second strand. Then the third.
One more to go. Of course he could tease the boy just a little more.
He set the red and green garland to the side.
Now Nicky was wrapped in the silver shimmering garland only.
“I like this color on you.” He stepped back to look up and down Nicky’s torso.
Nicky glanced down. “Cuz it’s pretty?”
“Pretty just like you.” He cupped Nicky’s face, lowering his once again.
“You think I’m pretty?” Nicky asked with wonder.
“I think you’re beautiful,” Law told him. “And would look amazing with nothing but this garland wrapped around you.”
“Clothes are stupid,” Nicky said with a nod. “I vote we never wear clothes again.”
Law kissed the tip of Nicky’s nose. “Do you really want me to go to work naked? You know that we protect celebrities and rich people. There’s always someone around with a camera.”
Nicky scowled. “No! No one sees but me!”
“I have the same rule,” Law told him. “Which means I think clothes are in order.”
“Fine.” Nicky huffed. “Except in the house!”
“Where your bestie might walk in at any time?” Law asked.
Nicky was already shaking his head before Law finished asking his question.
“Maybe no clothes in the bedroom with the door locked?” Law suggested. He’d already heard about Nicky and Liam’s lack of boundaries from Jude.
“How about a room with a door that locks?” Nicky countered.
That was intriguing. “Like?”
“Shower!” Nicky exclaimed. “Oh! But what about the pool? Or my office? The library!”
“That’s a lot of possibilities,” Law joked.
“And the kitchen,” Nicky said. “With you covered in cookie dough.”
That sounded sticky. And unsanitary. “Uh…”
“Or the sauna,” Nicky kept going. “The gym, and the sunroom, what about the—”
“How many rooms does this house have?” Law had to ask.
Nicky grinned at him. “A lot.”
Sounded like it. “You have an alarm for when you’re inside if someone else comes?”
“They have to be buzzed in at the gate,” Nicky reminded him. “Or put in the code like Liam does. I get an alert on my phone though.”
“Then we can negotiate,” Law agreed. He snagged the garland still wrapped around his boy, yanking him forward. Nicky’s eyes lit up in anticipation. “But first we need to talk about limits and expectations.”
“No!” Nicky whined. “Let’s get back to talking about sexy times.”
Law pressed a gentle kiss against Nicky’s forehead before releasing the boy and straightening. He crossed his arms over his chest.
“So stern,” Nicky teased. “Sexy.”
“I’m serious,” Law stated firmly.
“I can see that.” Nicky kicked his feet against the side of the cabinets. “I like the kissing better.”
“Only good boys get kisses,” Law told him. “And playtime.”
“Talking.” Nicky gave one sharp nod. “Then kisses.”
“Agreed.” Now where to start. “I know that you’re a little, looking for a full-time Daddy. What else are you looking for?”
“What are you looking for?” Nicky asked.
Law had no problem putting his wishes out first. Especially if it helped Nicky feel comfortable doing the same.
He was almost certain that their needs and desires aligned but Law wanted to make sure that he provided Nicky with what was essential.
Law was in this for the long haul. To see if they could make something special together.
He was just so tired of falling for a guy only to discover later that Law was the only one looking for a future together.
Why was it so hard to find a true partner?
He cleared his throat and smiled. Nicky was older than the boys that Law usually dated and that was a good thing. Not having as much of an age gap hopefully meant that they wanted the same things.
“I want a boy that I can spoil and dote on and eventually love,” Law confessed. “I’m tired of dating for the boy to decide that he still wants to play the field. Exclusivity is the only way I’ll do this.”
Nicky nodded. “Same. I want a Daddy who wants only me. I don’t like playing at clubs. It used to be fun when I could make friends with other littles or subs but I like my own space.”
“I don’t do the club scene any longer,” Law shared. “Do you have a special room here?”
“I have a nursery,” Nicky said with a shy grin.
“Hey.” Law cupped his face to force Nicky’s eyes back up. “Why are you suddenly shy?”
“It’s a very nice nursery,” Nicky said softly. “I spent years getting it perfect.”
“Why would that be a concern?”
“Most Daddies want to decorate or put together the nursery themselves,” Nicky said.
“I might understand that if their boy didn’t already have a special space,” Law said. He knew that his next words would be important. “I think it’s very smart of you to have built yourself a safe space.”
Nicky pressed his lips together.
“What else?” They needed to get all of Nicky’s insecurities out of the way.
“I have money,” Nicky said. He lifted his chin as if in a challenge. “I make a good living. I won’t give up my job.”
Law waved his hand around. “I’ve been in your house all day. Admittedly I was a little taken back by the size of your house and I haven’t seen the upstairs, but it’s quite obvious that you have money.”
“And I won’t quit my job to be your full-time boy,” Nicky said again.
“I hope to retire someday in the future. I’d love to travel with my boy. See more of the world when I’m not running for my life. I just opened the second location of my business so it will be some time before I could do that. When time came, it’s something I would like to revisit.”
“That sounds nice,” Nicky said. “And I’ll eventually retire when I want. I just won’t be a kept boy while you work.”
“This is something that was asked before? By a partner?”
“More than one,” Nicky replied. “My money and job are always an issue.”
“I already said I didn’t care about your money,” Law told him.
“However, the only issue I would have with your job is what happened recently where you were so obviously miserable and gave up your holiday. I’m certain that there were other options.
That’s something that I would like to discuss in the future so that your obligations are still fulfilled while your personal life doesn’t suffer. I would want that with any partner.”
Nicky narrowed his eyes. “You wouldn’t demand that I stay at home like a good little boy?”
“I wouldn’t demand you stay at home,” Law agreed. He grinned. “And I like a bit of a brat. So I wouldn’t want you to be too good for me.”
Nicky laughed.
“I want a partner, Nicky,” Law said clearly.
“Someone I can talk about my day with, share my worries, and help me navigate when I need advice. I want to offer the same to the man I love. I also want a boy to sit on my knee, to give baths to, to take my mind off my business where I can concentrate on his needs.”
“You mean that?” Nicky asked. “Really mean that?”
“I want to take you on dates, I also want to have playdates with Liam and Jude. I want to introduce you to my friends and co-workers. To show off the brilliant and sweet man that is mine.”
“Yes,” Nicky hissed. “Please. Let’s do that.”
“Will you go out with me tomorrow night?” Law asked. “Our first official date?”
Nicky nodded.
Law approached Nicky again. “Good talk?”
“Great talk,” Nicky responded. “And I should get more kisses.”
Law lowered his mouth to Nicky’s. He didn’t waste any time giving Nicky the kisses that he deserved. As he stroked Nicky’s tongue with his own, Law finished unwrapping the rest of the garland.
Nicky grabbed the front of his sweater, holding on tight as their kiss went on and on.
When he finally backed off, Law couldn’t help but run his fingers across Nicky’s swollen lips.
“You look good like this,” he praised.
Nicky smiled at him. “I feel good.”
“That’s what I like to hear.” He drew Nicky into a strong embrace so he could hold the boy close to his heart.
This might just be the beginning but Law was already committed to keeping that special smile on his face.
This holiday season was turning out to be the best of his life.
Maybe Nicky and Liam had something right with their excitement for Christmas.
Law just needed to figure out how to get more garland and giggles to last him through the cold winter.
