“Ask me again in a few minutes. You fucked my brains out. Can’t think yet.”
He’d take that as a compliment.
“Daddy?” Phex asked minutes later, and Devlin’s heart jumped up at that simple word. “Do you have to go?”
“To the club? If you’d prefer me to stay home, I can call in. Monroe can handle it.”
“No…” Phex rolled off of him, then turned on his side and faced Devlin. “Do you have to go home? Now that the two weeks are over?”
What was he really asking? “Do you want me to stay?”
His eyes locked with Phex’s. “Yes.”
“To extend the trial?” He wanted to make sure they were on the same page.
“No. I mean, if that’s what you want, then yes, but…” Phex took a deep breath. “I want you to stay beyond that.”
The look in his eyes gave Devlin the push he needed to share his own heart. “I’d love nothing more, sweetheart.” He brushed a lock of hair off Phex’s forehead. “You see, I’ve fallen for you. Hard. So I will stay however long you let me.”
Phex blinked, and then the sweetest smile spread across his face. “I’m in love with you. Completely, utterly, head-over-heels in love with you.”
Devlin’s heart soared, but he still needed to ask it, just to put his worries to rest. “Why?”
Phex frowned for a moment, but then realization dawned in his eyes. “You’re worried it’s only because you’ve been such a good Daddy to me, because you took care of me.”
“Is it?”
“No.” Phex scooted closer, their noses almost bumping into each other. “At least, that’s just a part of it. Of course I loved having you as a Daddy. No one has ever cared for me the way you have, and the difference you made in only two weeks is nothing short of astonishing. But…” He bit his lip. “I like all of you. I love all of you. Your sense of humor, how kind and caring you are, the way you call me sweetheart and baby boy. I love that you love both me and Mikey and know what I need in either headspace. You understand the requirements of my job, and you seem to have no issue with my wealth. I love that you’re strict but notmean. And after what we just shared, I also need to add that you fuck like a god.”
Devlin’s heart had been growing warmer and warmer, but at that last remark, he burst out in laughter. Such a silly thing, but it so perfectly matched what he’d experienced himself. “I assure you I’m a mere mortal…but a mortal who’s very much in love with you. Thank you for telling me all that. You made my heart sing.”
“Do you like being my Daddy?”
“I love it, baby boy. It’s a privilege and an honor, and it makes me so happy to take care of you. Your submission to me is a precious gift that I promise I will treasure.”
They stared at each other, and Devlin saw the love he felt in his whole being mirrored in Phex’s eyes. He’d found his boy. His forever boy.

Four weeks later, life was as perfect as it had ever been, and Phex was happier than he could ever have imagined. Devlin had moved in with him completely, and while some of their friends had expressed concern they were going too fast, neither of them had agreed. Their connection was real, and as Devlin had said, at their age, they didn’t have to do the whole slow dating routine anymore. They knew what they wanted, and they’d found it in each other, so why wait?
Devlin had brought over his personal things and, after discussing it, had decided to rent out his own home. It would make for a nice investment property, especially furnished, so why not keep it? He’d offered to pay half the mortgage of Phex’s house, at which point he’d admitted he’d paid it off already, wanting to make sure that if his fortune ever changed, he’d have this amazing place to live in. Daddy had taken it in stride, instead stating he’d pay half of the utilities and groceries. Phex let him, understanding it was important for his pride. But he loved the idea that he could offer them all the comfort and luxury they could ever wish for.
Daddy had continued to take care of him as before, and he’d never felt better and healthier in his life. They also fucked like rabbits, going at it at least daily and often more than once. Phex had apologized at first for his libido, which apparently wanted to make up for lost time. But Daddy had laughed him straight out of the room and said that he’d happily volunteer to satisfy said libido whenever he needed.
The one thing he had missed had been something he hadn’t even realized at first, not until he’d experienced this vague itch inside him, this need that had been hard to pinpoint. He’d pondered it for a few days, and it hadn’t clicked until Daddy had playfully slapped his ass walking by. He wanted a spanking. Spankings had always been erotic to him, far more of a turn-on than a punishment. But the idea of being deliberately naughty or bratty just so he could solicit a spanking seemed too childish. Even Mikey didn’t like it one bit. No, he’d need to be honest about it.
“Daddy,” he said as they settled on the couch after coming back from the club. Every Friday and Saturday evening, Phex went to the club with Devlin and happily played in the littles’ room until Daddy was done with his business and could join him. “Can I ask for something?”
“You can ask for anything, sweetheart. Whether you’ll get it is a different question.”
He turned to face him. “Will you spank me sometime?”
Daddy quirked his eyebrows. “Like a fun spanking? Or a punishment?”
“A fun one. A sexy one. I haven’t had one in forever, and they always felt so good.”
“Mmm, I love spankings. There’s little I love more than fucking a well-spanked, blistering hot ass.”
