“Can we go back to bed?” he asked, not bothering to lift his head.

“Sure, tiger,” Gabe said, and he stood with Ev still secure in his arms. Ev hung on for the ride back to the bedroom and refused to loosen his hold when Gabe tried to lower him to the bed. They ended up sprawled across the middle of the mattresswith Gabe on top of him, pressing him down into the sheets. “Ev,” Gabe said, a hint of worry in his voice. “Will you look at me, baby? I need to see that you’re okay.”

Ev loosened his grip reluctantly, and Gabe shifted until he was braced above him on his elbows. “My head is spinning,” Ev admitted. “I don’t know which way is up anymore.”

“The last two days have been a lot,” Gabe said. “How can I help? Do you need space?”

Ev’s reaction to that was visceral. No. He needed the opposite of space. He needed Gabe all up in his business, touching him, distracting him, and making the unhappy butterflies go away. “Will you— Can you…” His face went hot, but he ignored it. “Can you make love to me? Just, like, sweet, boring, vanilla sex. Without any kink?”

Gabe’s smile was warm but rueful. “I can absolutely do my best,” he said, dropping a kiss to the tip of Ev’s nose. “But, tiger, you make it hard to turn the Daddy Dom off.”

Ev liked that more than he should, but he pushed it away. He needed this. Needed physical proof that there was more to their connection than just their kinks aligning.

“If you want boring, though, you better be on top.”

Ev jolted in shock, staring at him. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

Gabe grinned and rolled them so Ev was straddling his hips, his hands braced on Gabe’s broad chest. “Only that boring isn’t in my repertoire, so if that’s what you want, you’re going tohave to take the lead.”

Ev found Gabe’s nipple through his thin tee and pinched it, hard.

Gabe hissed and smacked Ev’s bruised ass in retaliation. “Brat.”

“Asshole,” Ev shot back, then dissolved into laughter. “Fuck, we’re failing at this already, aren’t we?” he said, smiling down at Gabe through the curtain of hair falling in his face and tinting the world red. “I love you too, Daddy,” he said, the words coming easily. He’d been crazy to think there was any stopping them.

Gabe’s expression went warm and possessive, and he slid a hand to the back of Ev’s neck, tugging him down into a sweet, slow kiss that was everything Ev had asked for. “Damn, that sounds so fucking good,” he told Ev when the kiss broke. “Say it again.”

“I love you,” Ev repeated, kissing Gabe again, deeper this time, letting himself get lost in it.

They traded kisses and murmured endearments back and forth as Gabe stripped Ev out of his clothes, then shucked out of his own with Ev’s help.

“Up here,” Gabe said, urging Ev forward until he was straddling Gabe’s chest, his hands braced on the headboard. Then he took Ev’s soft cock into his mouth and sucked him until he was hard and couldn’t stop his whimpers of pleasure or the small thrusts of his hips.

“Da—Gabe, please.”

Gabe released him with a pop, and Ev shivered at the cool air against his heated skin. “Don’t fight it, tiger. We can be who we are and still have our boring, vanilla sex.”

Ev huffed, trying to pass it off as annoyed instead of amused. “You’re really stuck on the boring thing. You know that wasn’t my point, right?” He reached down to give his cock a stroke or two and take the edge off, but Gabe was faster and caught his hand.

“I just don’t think anything between us could ever be boring. And there’s no reason to pretend we’re vanilla when that’s not what makes us happy. I can make love to you and be your Daddy at the same time.”

Well, when he put it like that, Ev had no argument. “So, make love to me, Daddy,” he said, reaching back to feel for Gabe’s cock. His hand closed around it, and he hummed, pleased at just how hard Daddy was. “I really, really need you.”

Gabe pushed himself up to his elbows and started kissing his way across Ev’s chest until he reached one of his piercings. There, he paused, licking and sucking, teeth tugging the little loop. Ev whined at the zings of pleasure that went straight to his cock, and he fisted Daddy's length as well as he could with the awkward angle.

Finally, Daddy stopped his torture and nudged Ev to slide off his chest. “Get the lube for me, baby.”

Ev shivered and hurried to find it in the nightstand drawer. He grabbed it with a sound of triumph and turned back towhere Gabe was stretched out on the bed, one hand tucked behind his head, his muscles bulging with tension.

“How do you want me, tiger?” he asked, reaching down to stroke his erection.

“Just like this,” Ev said quickly, his mouth watering as he scanned Daddy from head to toe. Maybe he could get a taste before Daddy spread the lube.

“Is that right? You want to bounce on Daddy’s cock until you make a mess?”

Ev’s belly swooped. Ohshit. Why did that push at his mind-set so hard? He struggled to find his words. “Y-yes, Daddy. So much.”

“Show me, boy,” Daddy said, gripping one of Ev’s thighs and tugging until he was straddling Daddy’s chest again, but in reverse this time, his vision filled by Daddy’s hard, straining cock. Behind him, Daddy gripped his ass cheeks and massaged them, sending little zips of pleasure-pain through him as he pressed on the bruises.
