“I just use my closet. It’s not the best but I don’t really have the cash for something fancy right now.”
Alaric hums, looking like he’s thinking something over. I focus on eating the rest of these fried donuts. Before I know it, we’re pulling into Alaric’s driveway. I wipe my hands off as best as I can before setting down the takeout box and taking his hand into my own.
His hands are bigger than mine, his fingers callused from the work he does. Our hands are so different yet they fit together so perfectly.
“Thank you for tonight,” I say softly. “This could have been an awful experience but because you were there, it felt really easy.I would even go as far as to say it felt right. I still don’t know what this is but tonight, Bo called you my boyfriend and I didn’t correct him.”
Alaric sucks in a sharp breath at my words. He stares at me, his eyes darting between my own. “I’ve never heard anything more wonderful,” he says, just as softly.
It’s dark in the truck, the only light coming from the street lights outside. In the safety of the darkness, it feels easy to make confessions, to share secrets.
“I like you a lot already,” I whisper. “It’s terrifying how quickly these feelings are coming on, but I don’t want to fight them.”
“Dell?”
“Yes?”
“Can I kiss you? Please, baby? I’ve been thinking about it all day and I don’t think I can wait a moment longer.”
The way he calls me baby forces a shudder down my spine. I have to bite my bottom lip to keep myself from moaning. I nod my head, moving my hands up to his broad shoulders. Last night I called him Daddy and the noise he made in response will live in my head rent free for the rest of my life. He likes it just as much as I do.
Feeling bold, I whisper, “kiss me, Daddy.”
Alaric lets out a pleased growl before he’s diving down and kissing my lips. It’s perfect. The first thing I notice is Alaric’s facial hair brushing against my face. It leaves my skin tingly. Then the feel of his lips, the way they’re so soft yet persistent, taking control of the kiss. Then the smell of him hits me and my head grows light with pleasure. Someone whimpers and I’m pretty sure it’s me.
The kiss takes over completely and all I can do is hold on to Alaric’s shoulders for dear life so I don’t drift away. He cups my face in his huge hands, making me feel cherished and small. This is everything I hoped it would be yet somehow so much more.We’ve seen each other jerk off but this is even more intimate, more special.
Alaric pulls back and I chase his lips, stealing one more peck. He chuckles warmly, amused by my neediness. My body feels like a live wire ready to spark at the barest touch.
“That’s enough,” he says softly, his thumb brushing over my cheek. “We’ll save more for the future. For now, that was perfect, Dell.”
I stick out my bottom lip. “But I want more.”
He grins from ear to ear. “I know you do, but Daddy knows best.” Then he quickly adds, “is that okay?”
There’s my out. He wouldn’t pressure me to do something if I wasn’t comfortable. This is his way of communicating that we do this at my pace, but I want him to take control. I want him to be Daddy. This is so hot and it makes me feel so cared for.
“Daddy knows best,” I agree, the words leaving my stomach tingling with warmth and excitement.
We both grin, on the same page when it comes to this dynamic of our blooming relationship. I get out of the truck and make my way to the back. Alaric beats me to it, pulling my bike out of the truck and setting it onto the ground in front of me.
“I hope you have a lovely night, Dell. Get some rest.”
“I will.” I bite my bottom lip. “No more kisses but umm, would it be okay if I hugged you?”
“Of course, come here,” he says, opening his arms. I make sure my bike is balanced before falling into Alaric’s arms. He’s big and strong and wraps me in his arms just right. His hug feels like a giant teddy bear, which is funny since, you know, he’s a bear.
He squeezes me tight, resting his chin on the top of my head. My bear. My alpha. My Daddy. There’s so many aspects of this relationship that I already adore and we’re only starting to scratch the surface.
Tonight feels like the start of a new chapter in my life and I’m going into it with my head held high. Everything inside my gut is telling me this is about to be a beautiful beginning.
I wish Alaric a good night and head home. I’m filled with excitement at the prospect of this new chapter. I’m going to throw myself head first in my voice acting and see what I can get done. If all else fails, I’ll start looking at some more jobs around town. No matter what happens though, it’ll be better than working at that place.
Plus, now I have Alaric. Things can’t be too bad as long as I have him cheering me on.
