“It’s supposed to be a natural look.”

Austin pressed kisses up the arm that wasn’t engaged. “So, like yourself but sexier?”

“I guess?” Mateo answered, his voice already slipping toward something wistful and cute. “Daddy!” he exclaimed as Austin’s lips found his ear.

“Turn around, kitten. Let me see you.”

Then Teo was facing him. Austin searched eagerly over his features, wishing more than anything that he could see him clearly. Everything was still hazy, but he could make out the dark shadow of each eyelash, the desert pink of his plump lips. And a nervous question in his expression.

But he didn’t need to see to know Teo was beautiful. Or to make him feel that way.

“Your eyes look bigger,” he whispered. “Luminous.” He ran his thumb over Teo’s lips, barely touching them. The sensation was a bit wetter, a little smoother. “Will this smear?”

“Probably.” Mateo whispered in return, creating a sacred space between them.

“Will it leave marks everywhere?” he asked, voice full of wicked insinuations.

“We can find out…”

There was his bold, brave girl again. He felt a hint of pride. Teo was blossoming, and he was lucky enough to be a part of it. “Go get your pretty things.”

“Yes, Daddy.”

Damn. Those words hit him every time now.

Teo walked away in a swirl of white, digging in his closet while Austin returned his chair in the corner.

Teo started to move toward the door.

“Uh uh. Come over here while you get dressed. Daddy needs to see you.”

Teo came, instantly obedient.

“What do you have for me?”

“Stockings? And this waist thing with the clips.”

“God, baby. A garter belt. Did I get those for you?” He knew the answer, but some primal part of him wanted to hear it anyway.

“Yes, Daddy,” Teo breathed. “I’m not really sure how to put them on.”

A bolt of lust raced through him. A scene from a half-forgotten movie that he’d watched as a teenager played through his mind. “Put your foot up here.” He patted his knee.

“Are you sure?” Teo conveyed so much with his voice. Arousal. Worry. Anticipation.

“Daddy’s sure. Hold my shoulders if you need to for balance.”

The weight of Teo’s foot settled on him, nearly as long as his thigh. Austin could imagine so many ways for him to feel insecure, but he just wanted him to feel adored.

Especially when he was boiling over with desire. When Teo lifted his knee, the robe parted, leaving tantalizing glimpses of red that might be satin or lace over his thick cock. Austin wanted to explore that, but not yet.

He ran his hands up Teo’s leg, getting another surprise. “You’re so smooth,” he praised. “Like silk.”

“I shaved in the shower. Just before the show.” That sweet adoration was coming back, a shy lilt to his tone.

“Mmmm… getting ready for Daddy.” He trailed kisses along the soft skin.

“Ye-yes.”
