Thank you for telling me. Now that I know, I won’t expect it. You do such a good job of being my Daddy just by giving me treats and rewards.

It doesn’t seem like it’s enough.

It’s more than enough. And just to check… Would it change anything if you thought about spanking me as a reward instead of a punishment?

Zhong sighed heavily. I really, really want to say yes to that one. I’ve watched enough videos with Dustin to understand that people really enjoy it. So… we could try it? I don’t think I could hit you hard, though. Or with an object.

That’s fine. If you decide you want to try it we can, and if not, you are still the person I love most of all. That was their commitment to each other, their special thing.

Zhong glanced upstairs. Dustin and Lena could give you that. I’m sure Dustin would love to spank you.

I’m sure Lena would, too. At Zhong’s raised eyebrows they added, Lena’s a switch. Mostly submissive but sometimes Dominant.

They’d had more than one fantasy about Lena flogging them before dating Zhong. And since Lena had invited them in for a threesome, they could imagine so many other possibilities.

But that’s not the point, Ash continued. The point is that you are the one who tucks me into bed with my paci at night, and makes sure I eat healthy meals, and gives me treats. You are the one who holds me and takes care of me every day.

Zhong didn’t look convinced. They could do all of that, too. Anyone could. That’s easy stuff. And they could give you sex and spankings, too.

No. Ash cupped his cheeks. What you give me is the rarest thing I’ve ever found. You are thinking about me all the time. I can feel it. It’s something that I carry with me everywhere I go. And that’s something no one else has ever given me.

Yeah? Zhong looked hopeful. Maybe this was the thing that would finally get through to him.

Yeah. And I think about you all the time, too. What we have is too intense for a lot of people. But you’re my Daddy all the time and you give me the freedom to just… relax in that. Because I know you’ll always be there for me. That’s why I love you most of all. The sign for most was one fisted hand with a thumb raised sweeping past the other, and Ash raised theirs as high as they could reach.

Zhong finally smiled back and leaned in to kiss them. Just that simple press of lips felt like fireworks going off inside them. He ran his tongue along the seam of their lips and they opened readily. Zhong wasn’t always in the mood for open-mouthed kisses, but right now he seemed as frantic as they were.

Ash just wanted to be closer. To have Daddy take them over and consume them. He nibbled and licked, sending sparkling rivers of joy running through them.

But when he gently disengaged, Ash was still content. Burning with need, yes. But absolutely content, too.

Let’s go home and snuggle in bed, they suggested.

Actually, Zhong looked eager now, I was wondering if you’d like to spend the night.

It took them a minute to understand the question, since they’d just assumed by “home” that Zhong would take them back to his apartment.

Here, you mean? Are you sure that’s OK? Do you want to ask Dustin first? Not that Ash would want to interrupt him right now, but at least in theory it was probably a good idea.

He suggested it. But I don’t have to ask permission. I have my own bedroom. Zhong looked smugly pleased.

Ash blinked. Really? How had they not heard about that before? They assumed that the house had plenty of bedrooms, but was one of them actually Zhong’s? The nuances of his relationship with Dustin just kept expanding, and Ash decided to let the other conversation go for a while. This was much more interesting and they could always come back to it.

Yeah. Zhong shrugged. I can show you if you want. Then you can decide if you want to stay over. His brow furrowed. I know it’ll mean a longer drive to work tomorrow, though, so maybe we shouldn’t. He looked like he was being pulled in two directions.

Zhong was excellent at keeping track of Ash’s schedule. While he’d never made any suggestions to control it, he always made sure to arrange their mutual plans so Ash was rested and ready for each day. He wouldn’t suggest staying farther away unless this meant something to him.

I would love to stay over. Ash was also eager to learn everything about their Daddy. This was such a huge piece of his life, and maybe an even better way to show him that he was important and enough. I’ll go get my stuff from the car.

Let’s go get it together, Zhong offered, leading them toward the door.

They both walked outside, barefoot in the warm summer night. Zhong grabbed Ash’s bag, a permanent fixture in his car since Ash so often needed changes of clothes for the different parts of their life. He also picked up a small plastic drugstore bag from the back seat.

Zhong didn’t seem to be worried that he didn’t have any of his own things. It probably wouldn’t bother him to just wear his t-shirt and jeans again tomorrow. But did he have clothes here too?

Zhong directed Ash up the stairs when they came back inside. They’d never been on the second floor and they were just itching with curiosity. They scrambled up the polished wooden staircase, but halted at the top for further directions. There were at least six doors that they could see, and they knew there was another floor above.

That’s Dustin’s side, Zhong indicated. Linen closet if you need any sheets or towels, office, bedroom, he pointed out in order. And this is my side.
