Pushing my questions to the back of my head, I gave him a quick peck and squeezed his hand. “Good boy.”

I did my best to radiate calm and show him that nothing had changed as we headed toward the inner door. It seemed to have his stress going back down but all his frustration and pouting had completely faded. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I had no idea what that meant as I led him through the club and to our room.

He was still quiet and well-behaved as I shut the door, ignoring everything else in the room but Charlie and the chair, and pulled him in for a hug. Thankfully, he curled into me as I leaned back against the door.

Starting from scratch would’ve been beyond frustrating, so I was glad to feel him press himself against me and sigh. “Oh, Daddy.”

I couldn’t help chuckling as I kissed his head. “It’s a very nice thing that they were worried about you and that Austin came to check on you.”

He sighed again, burying his head against my chest. “But Daddy, that was…and he…ugh.”

Still chuckling, I nodded. “Yep, that’s what was going through my head too.”

“You’re not mad?” His muffled voice was hard to read, but he didn’t sound overly worried, just curious.

“Well, I’m not going to ask how the tattletale is doing anymore when I come into the club, but I’m not mad.” That got a giggle from him, so I played up the drama a bit. “And I’m going to be very careful not to run into Austin in a dark alley anytime soon.”

When Charlie stopped giggling and seemed to have gone from hiding to snuggling, I lifted him up and carried him over to the chair.

That had him wrapping his arms and legs around me like a monkey. “Daddy.”

“Silly boy.” Kissing his head as I sat down, I couldn’t help teasing him. “A silly boy who got us in trouble with his pouting.”

Charlie couldn’t seem to decide if he wanted to hide or giggle, so he did both. “Oh, Daddy, that was so…”

I kissed his head again as his voice trailed off. “Yep. But you survived and you told Austin what happened. You were so brave. I was very proud of you.”

Wiggling, he curled into me and rested his head on my shoulder. “I didn’t want him to worry or get mad at you. He’s…he’s protective.”

Understatement of the year right there.

“Because you’re special.” I could see why Austin worried about him, but I was going to be a bit more careful about where I teased Charlie. “I’m just glad we got it cleared up quickly.”

He nodded against me but was a bit too quiet for me to be confident about what he was thinking. With hisnicecomment still fresh in my head as well as the memory of how he’d responded in the car, I stroked my hand over his back and decided to try to shift the mood. “Close your eyes, sweet boy.”

Charlie let out a quiet sound that seemed to be filled with relief. From everything he’d said, getting alphas to move from accepting shy Charlie to helping him find his naughty side had been difficult, so I didn’t want to accidentally fall into the same trap by worrying.

If he wanted to stop, he’d tell me.

He had his safeword.

He’d asked to come to the club.

He’d whined to Austin that I hadn’t groped his dick in the car.

Just that memory had me smiling and feeling a lot more confident. “My naughty boy wanted his cock played with.”

That got a soft whine and a wiggle from the naughty boy in question. “I…being honest was important, Master.”

And we were back to Master.

“You’re right.” Charlie was light enough that it was easy to pick him up and shift him around so he was straddling my lap. He squeaked and hid against me as I snuggled him close again, but the shiver that raced through him said he wasn’t simply startled.

“But if you wanted to be honest, you should’ve been begging me to play with your cock in the car.” The logic was questionable but it got another shiver from him, so I didn’t worry about how much sense it made. “You want to be a good boy, don’t you?”

It was definitely a loaded question, and I made it even more interesting by rocking him back and forth, letting the motion rub his dick against mine. “Let me hear you, sweet boy.”

He whined, barely loud enough for me to hear but it was pure need.
