Probably.
“I think it’s the Daddy Dom part of him. He’ll get used to it.” Or Brady would distract him. Either way, though, my cuties were mine to worry about. “I know you can go get us lunch without there being an issue.”
I couldn’t help but wonder what interesting thing Gareth had told him that made him panic, though.
Cashel was doing his best not to laugh but he looked like he wanted to giggle. There was definitely something that had set off Jude, but making sure Gareth was happy and distracted seemed more important than gossip.
Yep, I’d found something more important than gossip.
I always knew that moment would come but I’d expected it to take a bit longer to get to that point.
“I’m really glad I’m not a little. Daddies seem stressful.” Gareth shook his head as Cashel jerked with barely suppressed laughter. “They do nothing but pick up toys and worry. There has got to be other kinks that are more relaxing.”
Hmm.
Cashel’s eyes went wide as he clearly thought of several kinks that would be less stressful, but instead of volunteering his information, he shoved the last of his sub in his mouth, barely managing not to choke to death.
“Be careful. You’ve got a gag reflex, remember?” Gareth seemed to think he was being helpful but he almost killed Cashel as the sub went down the wrong way.
That just got another concerned stare like he wasn’t sure why Cashel was being so reckless. I’d managed to keep a straight face until that point, and unfortunately, my laughter did not help Cashel’s ability to swallow.
But we managed not to kill him.
After a few firm pats on the back and some water, Cashel could breathe and remembered that he had a gag reflex.
Yep, they were adorable.
I was ready for us to move on from Cashel’s death-defying bite but Gareth was starting to find his gumption and studied both of us. “He thought of something. What did I say that was stupid?”
“Nothing.” The word jumped out of Cashel’s mouth without hesitation. “You’re really smart.”
I could see he didn’t want to upset Gareth, but I wasn’t actually sure he could explain what I thought he’d been thinking. So as he gaped at Gareth, I eased into the conversation. “I’m pretty sure your comment about other kinks that were more relaxing had him actually thinking about other kinks.”
“Oh.” Brows pulling together, Gareth seemed content to poke at the idea and get his questions answered. “Why did it make him swallow wrong and choke? Was it something weird?”
That depended on the definition of weird.
Cashel was still wide-eyed and doing a very good impression of a goldfish as he realized Gareth wasn’t going to let it go. “I…”
When that was all we got, it seemed like time for their Dom to come to the rescue. “Come on. Let’s go to the chair. Do you want to kneel or sit on my lap?”
Before Gareth could answer, I gave him a firm stare. “My dick stays in my pants until we’ve gotten a few things out of the way.”
We’d never get through a conversation otherwise.
“Fine.” Pouting, he slouched back in his seat. “Sit.”
Drama queen.
He was so cute.
And so was Cashel but for completely different reasons.
Something about Gareth actually wanting to keep going and for someone to explain the dirty thing he’d missed had shocked Cashel to the core.
Was he finally starting to realize that Gareth was dead set on continuing his journey?
“That sounds like a wonderful choice and I’m sure Cashel agrees with it.” That got a slow nod from my stunned boy, but he actually managed to stand up as I rose from the table. “Quick cleanup and then we’ll talk.”
Throwing the trash away didn’t take nearly as long as Cashel was hoping it would, and soon, we were curled up in the chair with Gareth still pouting and Cashel hiding. It was starting to feel very familiar but I didn’t let memories distract me.
Giving Gareth a quick kiss as Cashel stayed pressed against me, I focused on my curious cutie. “Alright, you wanted to know why Cashel was so startled and what he was thinking about, right?”
“Yes.” He nodded but his frown was still firmly in place as he glared at Cashel’s head.
Since I was fairly certain anything else he would say would be rude or aggressive, I didn’t poke for a longer answer. “First, we both thought your explanation of a Daddy’s role was very accurate and funny.”
He cocked his head and was very still for several long moments before he nodded slowly. “I guess I can see that. I was just being honest, though.”
“That was what made it even funnier.” I shrugged. “You’re very earnest but thoughtful and smart in a unique way. I love the way you see the world, but sometimes it’s going to make us smile. However, swallowing at the same time was probably not a good idea.”
