Caden tapped my leg, and I turned to look at him. As he was still holding me on his lap, I needed to read his lips to communicate with him. “Sam is a little genius. He loves doing random things for fun.” The grin on his face was mocking when he told me that, and I glanced back to Sam, who rolled his eyes. When he caught me watching him, he blushed and shrugged.
“I have a Ph.D. in criminology and IT, so they like to make fun of me.”
“I studied psychology and literature,” I signed back, and Sam’s face lit up.
“Really? That’s great. Which college did you attend? I went to Stanford.”
Stanford. Wow. That was one of the best colleges in the US. Sam must be brilliant then. I swallowed and tried to hide my face in Caden’s neck again. But this time, he stopped me and made me look at him. “What’s wrong?”
“I…” I started to sign but stopped myself. Glancing at Sam, I swallowed and tried to hide my embarrassment. Sam was not only the perfect Little, but he was also bright and had studied at Stanford. I glanced at Caden and saw the worried frown. With a sigh, I turned back to Sam and the other guy. “My aunt, Ava, homeschooled me, so I took online classes at the community college.”
“Cool. My parents homeschooled me, too,” Sam signed excitedly, his hands flying through the air. “We’re going to have so much to talk about.” The other guy had been watching our interaction quietly. He tugged on Sam’s shirt. “Oh, right, sorry. This is Josh, and his Daddy is Darrell. That is my Daddy, Jakob.” Then Sampointed in the direction of the two older men. When I looked at them, they smiled and waved. Josh waved at me, too. I waved back and could feel Caden kiss my head. Oh. Proud Daddy meant kisses. That was an excellent goal to have. Make him proud of me, get more kisses.
Or I could ruin everything. Horrified, I realized that I’d forgotten how long we had been sitting there. Wiggling around, I tried to get off Caden’s lap, but he only tightened his grip. Glancing up at him, I saw him saying, “Ok, that’s enough, Boys. Back to your Daddies. Henry is mine tonight.”
Oh, God, he knew. Did Sam and Josh know as well? No, it didn’t look like it. They waved at us and left. Caden gently tapped my chin. Too embarrassed to look at him, I hid my face in his shoulder again. But Caden wouldn’t have that. While he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him, his other hand roamed over my back until it rested on my ass.
“It’s ok, sweetie. Just relax. Everything is alright.”
“But…” Caden’s eyes widened in surprise when I spoke up, and blushing, I closed my mouth. Caden only smiled and kissed my nose again. Yup, the nose kisses were connected to things he thought I did well.
“Still green?”
Slowly I nodded, and that earned me another of those sweet kisses on my nose.
“Thank you, Daddy,” I whispered. At least I hoped it was a whisper.
“You’re welcome. Do you want to go home now?”
“Please.” I hadn’t brought any supplies. The adult diapers were great, but they still needed to be changed regularly. Without telling him, Caden understood. He gently put me on the chair next to him, got up, and went over to the bar to pay our bill. I watched him until Des stepped into my view and smirked at me.
“What?”
“Please, let me tell Ava that you found yourself a Daddy.”
“No,” I signed back, horrified at the idea of Des tattling on me. “You can’t tell her.”
“Why? She told me that you would…” Des stopped his signing, and then he started to laugh. It must have been loud because Caden looked over at us. “You wanted to prove her wrong, and now you have a Daddy.”
“I don’t. Stop it, Des!” Of course, being the person Des was, he laughed harder before he slapped me on the shoulder and winked at me.
“I promise I won’t tell her, but I want to be there when she finds out. I don’t want to miss that smirk. Oh, by the way. You can trust Caden. He is a good man and will be a good Daddy.”
Groaning, I watched Caden walk back over to us, looking at Des with a quizzical look on his handsome face.
“What’s going on? What’s so funny?”
“Nothing,” I signed and gave him my most, hopefully, innocent smile. Caden looked at Des, but Des was already walking away. Thank God.
The ride over to Queens was quiet because Caden had to concentrate on driving, and I couldn’t see his lips. It gave me time to think about the evening. Ava had said that I should give it a try and that maybe I would be surprised. What a freaking surprise. I glanced over at Caden, who had his hands on the steering wheel but smiled. Ava had been right. I had been surprised, alright, with the most perfect Daddy ever. Not that I would ever tell her. Oh my gosh, she’d never let me live that down.
Sitting at a red light, Caden touched my arm, and I looked over at him. “You doing ok?”
The whole situation was so much more than ok, and I nodded. I’d met the most incredible Daddy, and he was bringing me home. I turned in my seat and just watched him drive. The moment he realized we had arrived at my building was comical. His eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open. He turned to me with a frown.
“I’m going to end up as one of your next victims, right?”
“What?”
“You use this angelic face of yours to lure Daddies into this old building, and then you lock them up. Don’t forget that I’ve read your books.”
I tapped my chin and tilted my head and signed, “Actually, that’s a pretty good idea. If I lock you up, I would
