already playing tricks like a true Daddy
A name shouldn’t be a big deal. Just because he only had initials in his username didn’t mean he didn’t share that information.
Nathan couldn’t think of one hookup he hadn’t given his name to. He hadn’t thought twice about it, either—which meant he couldn’t understand why Ken’s request felt like… more.
Like he was asking for something intimate instead of something as mundane as Nathan’s name.

Thank you, Nathan
As for my question, what interests you about Pet Play by the Lake?

I like puppy play. I got into it a few months ago
19 questions left, Daddy
The alarm in his phone reminded him he had to start moving. Even though it was a Saturday, he’d promised to help one of the guys in the community move out of his current apartment—never mind that they’d barely talked in months.

You’re trouble
Do you want to exchange numbers? This app is annoying and keeps glitching on my end
B_N_96
sure. gotta head out soon though
DaddyKen
Wouldn’t want to keep you
The sentiment was appreciated, but he also wasn’t shy about keeping Daddy Ken long enough to save his number. Or to save Ken as Daddy in his contacts. Nathan had just realized he’d never been with anyone who used the honorific.
He hid a smile as he rushed through a cold shower that didn’t do enough to deflate his stupidly placed enthusiasm.

Helping Parker did, though.
When Nathan had first joined the community, Parker was one of the first guys he’d noticed. A sub and a self-identified brat like him, Nathan had felt like they’d fit in, understand each other.
Spoiler alert: they didn’t.
Even if Parker learned how to stay quiet for more than two minutes, he just had a vibe around him. Nathan didn’t trust him. He didn’t find it in himself to feel comfortable around the blue-eyed guy with the perfectly bleached hair.
