Try as he might, Avery couldn’t swallow all of Jace’s seed down.
Jace dropped to his knees in front of Avery and licked up the spilled come around his mouth.
Avery giggled as Jace’s tongue tickled his chin.
“Thank you boy, that was fantastic.”
“You taste so good.” Avery climbed in Jace’s lap. He cuddled close, tired again.
He loved being on the beach and the water had been fun but it was tiring.
Avery yawned.
Jace rubbed his back. “I brought your tablet. Would you like to watch cartoons and sit out in the sun for a little bit.”
“That’s sounds nice. Can I… can I bring my cup?” He really wanted his binkie but even Avery knew that would be frowned upon.
“I think that would be fine. Let me get it set up for you.”
Jace laid out towels on one of lounge chairs outside the cabana. He reapplied sunblock even though Avery tried to squirm away. His Daddy even moved the umbrella so Avery wasn’t directly in the sun.
Lying on a towel, another covering him, with his cup, Avery rolled to the side as Jace set the tablet on the cooler so Avery could watch cartoons.
He pulled the towel up to cover the bottom of his mouth and stuck his thumb inside. It was salty from the water but he soon got lost in the puppy adventures on the tablet.

Jace had woken Avery up early so he’d have plenty of time before the big surprise. Avery had been bathed, dressed, and was now lying on the big bed watching cartoons and playing.
Instead of taking Avery down to the restaurant in the hotel Jace ordered room service. Eating in the room would give Avery more time out of the public eye. There would be enough crowds that they’d have to deal with for the day.
Jace wanted Avery to enjoy the vacation but he wished there were more private areas where his boy could be out in public while little.
He’d seen a brochure in the hotel lobby the day before about a private resort that sounded amazing. It was from the same company that ran their hotel but the language in the brochure led Jace to believe that there would be more open-minded people at the resort.
Jace would do research once he got home and maybe ask Caleb for his advice. It would be an expensive but amazing trip for his boy.
Avery popped his binkie out of his mouth when a knock sounded on the door.
“It’s our breakfast,” Jace told him. “Stay here and I’ll call you in when it’s ready.”
“K.” He popped his binkie back in his mouth and went back to playing.
Shaking his head Jace walked out of the bedroom into the main part of the suite. He opened the door and allowed the cart to be brought in.
This hotel had been recommended by Caleb. Caleb had done a modeling job on the beach years before and had stayed there. It was nicer than any place Jace had stayed before.
Jace had initially paid for a single room with a king sized bed. He’d been shocked at check in to learn that Caleb had called and upgraded their room into a suite and paid the difference. Jace hadn’t told Avery yet but they needed to get Caleb a great big thank you gift.
Caleb was such a kind-hearted man that Jace was glad that Avery and Caleb had clicked and become friends. Avery needed people in his life that would support and love him. Caleb didn’t need to buy them things though. He just did it to make Avery’s first vacation better.
Jace would find something to show Caleb how much they appreciated his gift.
He signed he receipt adding a big tip and saw the attendant out. Now they could have a nice calm breakfast. He removed the lid over the dishes and smiled. But he had a better plate for his boy.
Jace went into the kitchen and to the cabinet where he’d placed some of Avery’s special dishes. He grabbed the giraffe divided plate and sippy cup. He quickly moved Avery’s food over to the plate and cut it up before he poured the fresh squeezed orange juice into a sippy cup.
“Avery! Come eat boy!”
“Coming Daddy!”
“No running!”
Avery laughed as he walked into the main room. “You always know.”
“I know my boy,” Jace agreed. He pulled a chair out for Avery. “Come eat. We need to be leaving soon.”
“I might be able to eat faster if you told me where we were going,” Avery said as he hopped over.
“I don’t want you to eat fast,” Jace corrected him. “I want you to eat normally so you don’t get an upset tummy.”
“Oh.” Avery stuck out his bottom lip.
“You can’t get sneaky with me boy.”
Avery shrugged as he plopped down. “It was worth a shot.”
“It was. All I will say about our plans today is it is something that I think you will like.”
“That doesn’t tell me anything,” Avery complained.
Jace laughed.
“Daddy! You brought my plate!” He was just now noticing the plate.
“Of course I did.”
“And waffles! With strawberries and whip cream.”
“It is your favorite.”
“Thank you Daddy.”
As they ate Avery guessed where they were headed for the day. Jace loved some of the outlandish ideas. Although he was a little nervous that Avery would guess by accident.
When they were both done Avery was bouncing in his seat.
“Is it time?”
“Yes boy. Let’s go to the bathroom and grab our bags.”
“K.” Avery raced out of the room.
Jace didn’t even bother to yell at him not to run. His boy was too excited. Jace picked up Avery’s special dishes and washed them in the sink before he placed them back in the cabinet. He put the hotel dishes back on the tray before leaving it outside the door.
Once the area was picked up he strolled into the bathroom.
Avery was just flushing the toilet. “I just have to wash my hands Daddy.”
“And your face. You have strawberry sauce on your chin.”
Avery turned the water on laughing. “It was really
