“Yes…” Harley stroked my back and nodded slowly. “But…but if you’re more like an uncle to the baby then it wouldn’t make you a middle child. You…you could be his favorite bad influence.”

Oh…I could do that…I’d be a great bad influence.

“I…I can teach it how to use glitter and the best curse words.” I knew fun ones in several languages too…rich people always had really smart help from interesting places. “That would make my mother insane and remind her that I’m still the baby.”

“You’re the baby for family 1.0 you just have to make sure they have 2.0 so you have fun new ways to drive everyone insane.” Pokey had found some interesting fine print again. “And if you’re lucky, they’ll have so much craziness to focus on they’ll forget they need to obsess over your partners.”

“And the wedding.” Harley was smart to remember that. “With the number of texts Papa is getting, I think keeping her distracted is a good idea.”

Ignoring the drama queen in question’s groan, I nodded and kissed Harley’s cheek. “You’re so smart…and very helpful…that needs to be rewarded.”

As he blushed, I peeked over at Pokey. “Don’t you think so?”

“I would have to agree. He made good points and helped you think through the problem. He was even confident and spoke his mind without worrying. I think that deserves a reward.” Pokey’s words were so truthful Harley couldn’t talk himself out of it.

“I…I…” He blinked and swallowed hard before licking his lips. “I…I get to pick the reward?”

“Yes.” Giving him another cheek kiss, I wiggled on his lap and stroked his chest to give him either courage or a distraction. “You were a very good boy and that means you get a very big reward.”

Hmm.

He opened his mouth and closed it several times, but aside from doing a very cute goldfish impression, he didn’t make much progress.

But he had two Doms to rescue him.

“We could have dessert and little time.” I started out easy before looking at Pokey like we needed more ideas.

He made a thoughtful hum and looked like it was a complicated question. “You wanted to watch that new superhero movie that you thought wouldn’t be too scary, or you could be Daddy. Either of those would be fun.”

Harley’s shiver said his body knew what he wanted even if his brain hadn’t quite caught up yet. “I… Yes…I’ll be Daddy for…for my reward.”

Bingo.

We had verbal consent and an erection.

He was going tolovehis reward.

HARLEY

I was going to be Daddy.

And their faces said they liked my reward.

I was going to be Daddy.

Oh…did I have to ask for anything else?

“I think that’s a great plan.” Daddy kissed my cheek, wiggling happily on my lap. “And you’ve got two partners who love to control everything, so we’ll handle your reward.”

Thank goodness.

“Okay.” Yes. They liked being in control, it would be nice to let them make the decisions. “Thank you for my reward.”

I still wasn’t sure I’d done enough to get a reward but I had talked a lot and hadn’t been too nervous.

Talking about Daddy’s family was kind of scary too.
