Page 54 of Just a Little in Love

“Daddy loves your sounds.” Rowan was so responsive, and a whole world of possibilities unfurled in Gabriel’s mind. He bet Rowan would adore sensory play, and the Dom in him loved the thought of edging Rowan, teasing him, then showing him the beauty of being a very good boy. Gabriel pressed a kiss to Rowan’s neck, then decided to suck up a mark and reached his other hand around to play with Rowan’s nipple.

The cry was adorable. Rowan loved touch, needed to receive it as much as Gabriel needed to give it. “Daddy,” Rowan’s cry was a little desperate, and Gabriel knew he was driving him higher. His boy responded beautifully to all the different sensations.

“Do you want to come, baby boy?” Rowan moaned and his yes was barely decipherable. “Can you wait one more minute? For Daddy? I promise it will be extra, especially good if you do.”

Rowan mumbled something that Gabriel took as agreement and Gabriel cupped Rowan’s sac and tugged it a little before rolling it in his hands, then sliding his hand up Rowan’s cock.

“Daddy,” Rowan cried a little more desperately, and because he had to be careful never to push Rowan too far, he whispered, “Good boy. Come for Daddy.”

His baby boy’s cries were honestly the best thing he’d ever heard.

Chapter twenty-seven

Gabriel had been awake for a while before he felt Rowan stir. He’d been thinking of different ways to meld their lives together and had come up with lots of possibilities. Rowan had been a boneless puddle last night after the bath. He barely stayed awake long enough for Gabriel to feed him a slice of pizza and to finish his water before Gabriel had tucked him into bed. Gabriel had decided to use a small pad for him because he didn’t want Rowan to fail at anything, ever, and had thoroughly enjoyed making sure his skin was cared for before he put it on. Half-asleep, Rowan had looked utterly adorable in his red baby dragon pajamas, and Gabriel’s arms and his heart were very full as Rowan fell asleep snuggled up to him.

He felt Rowan move again and brushed a kiss to his cheek. Hmm, his baby boy needed a shave. Definitely his job. Going forward, Gabriel hoped Rowan would trust him to help him take his pad off as well, but baby steps for now, and he had an appointment with a new doctor next week to review medically what was going on. Gabriel had every intention of going with him, so he knew exactly how best to help Rowan going forward. “How about you go to the bathroom, take a quick shower, then hurry back because I want to go through our day.” He paused. “You’re allowed a towel but leave your pajamas off.”

Rowan’s face lit up, and he hurried away. Gabriel was touched at the trust, as Rowan never hesitated. Gabriel went to the other bathroom and took his own shower. He was sorely tempted to follow Rowan, but he had plans.

When Rowan came back, cheeks adorably flushed and with just a towel wrapped around his waist, Gabriel was sitting on the edge of the bed toweling his hair. He tossed his towel, held out his hand, and Rowan rushed to take it.

“What’s your safeword, baby?”

Rowan blinked in shock. “Red, Daddy.”

Gabriel smiled. “Good boy. Now, going forward we’re going to start most mornings like this, unless we wake up late or decide on a different activity.” Rowan’s flush deepened. “What did we agree last night was the most important thing you should always believe?”

“That you love me,” Rowan said, as if he still found it incredible.

“Good boy,” Gabriel praised. “But also, that you are beautiful and talented and I’m very lucky to have you as my boy.”

Rowan smiled shyly but whispered, “Yes, Daddy.”

Gabriel tugged the towel away, laid it over his lap, and noted Rowan’s interest. “Now, when I do this, I’m going to spank you ten times to show you how much I love you, and to make sure you can feel that love.”

“So I can feel it on my bottom, Daddy?” Rowan asked innocently.

Gabriel knew he was being sassed and loved it. It was another show of trust. “I’m reaffirming my promise to you.” Gabriel patted his knee and Rowan obediently lay down, his cock and balls trapped between Gabriel’s legs, but still very accessible, even with the towel.

“Color, baby?” Gabriel prompted.

“Green, Daddy.”

Gabriel didn’t pause. He let his hand fly down and delivered four swats without pausing. Rowan tensed, but didn’t cry out, and Gabriel rubbed the slightly pink marks, letting his fingers trail down lower. Rowan moaned, relaxing as Gabriel cupped the globe of Rowan’s ass.

“Beautiful, baby boy. Why am I doing this?”

“Because you love me.”

“Good boy,” he praised, and rewarded that with another two. Rowan squeaked and tried to move. Gabriel smirked because Rowan wasn’t trying to get away, he wanted friction and was trying to rub himself against the towel. He played with Rowan’s ass some more, delighting in the gorgeous noises he produced, then when Rowan was straining for relief, he finished with the last four, then reached down and brought Rowan off, rubbing his cock through the towel. He turned Rowan over, delighting in the hitch in Rowan’s breathing as he scraped his ass, and then cleaned him up. Finally, when Rowan’s breathing had returned to normal, he applied some special cream to his ass to prevent bruising and kissed him.

Rowan slid off the bed and glanced down at Gabriel. He wasn’t trying to hide his erection. “What about you, Daddy?”

Gabriel smiled. “What do you want, baby boy?” Rowan blushed, but Gabriel waited patiently, intrigued by what he was going to say.

“Special kisses,” he whispered so quietly, Gabriel barely heard him.

“You want to give Daddy special kisses?” Gabriel’s cock jumped at the thought, and Rowan nodded.
