Before I could figure out what the right way to respond to that was without sounding like a dirty old man, Austin leaned down and whispered something that had Charlie giggling again.

“That’s…that’s not something I would object to.”

Fuck, my answer sounded terrible.

Austin was looking at me like he thought I was an idiot, but Charlie was snickering around his binkie, so I wasn’t sure what to say. “Really? That’s it?”

“I’m not trying to make him uncomfortable and he’s not fully grown-up, for fuck’s sake.” Shit. Should I not be cussing around him? Everything had gotten completely out of hand. “I should not be telling a sweet little that I can’t wait until they’re big and horny so I can see what a dirty slut they are for their Dom. It’sinappropriate.”

Austin beamed and sat up straighter. “But you do want to be his Dom, right?”

God, that was all he’d focused on?

Patting Charlie’s back, the crazy omega kissed the little’s head. “See, I told you he’d like slutty Charlie just as much as sweet Charlie.”

This was the strangest conversation I’d ever had.

“Does he even like being called slutty? I can’t tell if you’re being mean or supportive.” It was always an odd line with Austin, and I was starting to worry I should be sticking up for Charlie more.

“Aww.” Austin sighed like I was delightfully romantic. “He’s trying to protect you, cutie. That’s so cute and it definitely means he wants you.”

Had that still been in question?

Good grief.

“Yes, I want to get to know him in a regular date kind of way and I want to get to know him in awe’re moving toward a scenekind of way. He’s sweet, and I had fun just being around him this evening.” I wasn’t sure there was a more logical way to explain it but we’d clicked. “I just don’t want to make him uncomfortable and I’m not sure how to progress from here.”

Nothing in my research had prepared me for Charlie.

That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it was making planning logical next steps difficult…and I wasn’t sure if Austin was helping or not.

“Well, Charlie has to go soon but what do you think about meeting back here later this week to hang out and talk? Then if that goes well, you can have a late dinner?” Austin seemed to be entirely too comfortable planning our lives and didn’t seem to think he was being bossy at all. “I think that sounds good—just remember no drinks.”

“I’m not going to forget that rule.” My dry response got another delightful giggle from Charlie but Austin huffed and narrowed his eyes.

“It’s important.”

That was definitely something we agreed on.

“It is.” I was pretty sure we could also agree that Austin was a pain in the ass. “I would like to hear from Charlie that he likes our plan, though, before we finalize the details.”

Although Austin probably knew Charlie’s schedule by heart somehow.

“What do you think, cutie?” Austin looked down curiously at Charlie, who was very still. He was patient and waited out the shy little without looking frustrated at all.

Charlie finally sat up inch by inch and took his binkie out when his head was resting on Austin’s shoulder. “Cake?”

Austin shrugged. “He’s not going to buy you dessert unless you actually talk to him at dinner as a grown-up, so that’s up to you.”

Hey.

“I’ll buy him cake even if he’s not grown-up and doesn’t talk.” What kind of Daddy did he think I would be?

Austin looked at me like I was an idiot. “Your new Daddy is a sucker.”

Well, at least I was a Daddy?

Charlie didn’t seem to have a problem with my response or my being a sucker because he turned his head and gave me a shy smile. “Nice Daddy.”
