I just want him to know that he can be himself around me, that he doesn’t have to be intimidated by me. Sure, my size might make people think I’m some big brute, but just like Laney says, I’m a fucking teddy bear. The most dominant I am is in the bedroom. In my opinion, that's where it matters the most.
Life has been busy since the new semester started. Turns out Professor Collins is a lot sicker than she thought and is going to be out for the rest of the year. That means I have not only my classes to teach, but hers. So, trying to find free time lately hasn’t been easy.
It also causes issues. Because while I can be out publicly with Laney since she’s not my student anymore, I can’t let my relationship with Elijah be known. As he is now my student.
Before, I didn't care about losing my job. But now, I have someone relying on me to help her out while she’s sick. I talked to Eli about it, and he said he’s fine with it.
As long as we can still be together, even if it’s with Laney around in public, that's all he cares about. It’s not good enough for me. He deserves better. But we’re not ready for this big public announcement just yet.
I want to take him on dates, show him he can trust me, and feel comfortable around me. That he’s safe with me and there’s nothing to fear.
That's why I'm here tonight, to take Eli out on the date I promised him.
I don’t want to go all out, to make him feel nervous or pressured. Today's goal is more or less hanging out as friends. Get the vibe back of how things were when we first met online. Where he felt relaxed, at ease, and could be himself.
Still, that doesn’t mean I can’t make sure he has a good time.
Dressed in shorts and a black band T-shirt, I make my way up to the front door. I know I have an open invitation to just walk in, but today it doesn’t feel right to do so.
Knocking on the door, I pause and wait.
It’s Melissa who answers.
“Kai,” she laughs. “Why are you knocking?”
“I’m here to see Eli.” I give her a friendly smile.
“You are, are you?” She gives me a knowing grin back.
I don’t think Eli has outright told his dad about me and him and what we are building, but we haven’t exactly been hiding it when I’m over. Melissa and James have walked in on the three of us snuggling on the couch in the entertainment room more than once. And no one has pointed anything out.
“Well, let me go grab him.” She laughs softly. “Would you like to come in?”
“I’m okay waiting here,” I decline politely.
She nods before closing the door and leaving me alone on the front step.
A few moments later, a very confused looking Eli opens the door. “Kai?”
God, he looks downright edible right now. He’s wearing a white t-shirt that molds to his body and a pair of black workout shorts. My eyes trail over him, stopping where I can see the slight outline of his cock.
I’ve been dying to know what he tastes like as I swallow him whole. The sounds he would make. The way his body would–
“Kai?” Eli gives me a nervous laugh. “You okay? You look like you're ready to eat me.” His tone is nervous but playful. It’s so damn cute and a major turn on. Off to a good start already.
“Mhmm,” I hum, bringing my gaze back up to meet his eyes. “Something like that.”
I love the way pink blossoms across his cheeks.
“What's up?” Eli asks, clearing his throat. “Do you want me to go grab Laney?”
“No.” I cock my head to the side. “Didn’t Melissa tell you I was here to see you?”
“Well, yes, but...” He looks so adorably shy right now. I just want to kiss those tempting lips.
“No buts. And before you try to talk your way out of it, I already asked Laney to see if you were busy today. And you're not.”
“I’m not,” he confirms. “Why?”
