Terrence’s work face was amazing—disturbing, but amazing.
If I hadn’t spent so much time around the real Terrence, who wandered around in his pajamas talking to himself and ogling my cousins, I’d have been fooled. But my Terrence was much more interesting and sexier. This one was, well…very grown-up.
And very good at subtly being snarky.
His question about the cat was incredibly subtle for him and he’d done the innocent face pretty well. It’d been done good enough to freak out all three busybodies. I was curious to see how the rest would go, though.
The neighbors had surprised me and made me wonder what my family had said, but free food was always a temptation. No matter how they’d ended up here, Terrence had done an incredible job of smiling and getting to know everyone.
His work persona was really good.
Everyone liked it even if a few of them were watching us a bit too closely.
I wasn’t sure what they were expecting but it almost felt like a few distant cousins already knew we were more interesting than we appeared.
The idea just wouldn’t go away, so as we made our way around the crowd again and finally found a quiet corner of the yard, I whispered to my cutie. “Have you dated anyone here? We’re getting looks from at least one neighbor and a few distant relatives…and we haven’t done anything.”
Neither of us.
“I don’t know.” Frowning, Terrence started rolling the question around in his head and I had a feeling he was running through a rolodex-like system where he was trying to match faces with the pictures flying around. “Oh.”
Not good.
“Well, I haven’t slept with any of your relatives.” Starting off that way didn’t make me feel any better, but I nodded so he’d keep going. “But I think I’ve seen a few of their faces on a kink website I tried to use last year? Earlier this year? How are you all this kinky? Is it, like, a genetic thing?”
“For fuck’s sake.” Reminding myself that at least he hadn’t slept with any of them, I took a deep breath. “Okay, just remember who you saw on there in case we need ammunition, but we’re going to ignore it. Just because they have no poker face doesn’t mean we’re that obvious.”
Terrence seemed more interested in the how is everyone kinky part than anything else, which didn’t surprise me. “I wonder if anyone has done studies on that. Do you think it would fall under scientific studies as far as funding goes or would the military be interested in it?”
At some point I was going to ask flat out what the fuck he did for a living.
It was not that point.
“We’re getting back on track for the time being, but we can spend some time researching that later. Once you’re caught up on whatever you’re supposed to be doing tonight.” He was definitely behind on something based on the pout he was giving me. “It’s not my fault you got stuck, but it might be my fault you got distracted?”
I was willing to accept that but he shook his head. “No, and I’m not supposed to lie about that.”
Leander.
“Thank you.” Giving him a quick kiss so it looked like we’d been doing something romantic and not suspicious, I took his hand again. “Alright, ready to brave more relatives? Round one went really well but Uncle Alonzo escaped.”
From whoever was supposed to be watching him.
“Oh, that’s going to be fun.” Looking thoroughly entertained and ready for battle, Terrence grinned. “How do I look?”
“Gropeable.” It was the answer he’d wanted to hear based on his widening smile, and I definitely reached best Daddy ever status. “But don’t get too cold just because you wanted to look cute.”
It wasn’t bad for December, but I wanted to be careful because he had very little common sense when it came to looking good versus freezing to death. But Uncle Alonzo got to us before I could lecture him anymore.
“Marcello.” Uncle Alonzo nearly purred out the name as he gave me a flirty grin…but I wasn’t sure who Marcello was.
I’d never heard stories about a Marcello.
That was bad. They only hid the really good stories from anyone they considered too young to expose to his nonsense.
“You haven’t introduced me to your new friend.” Uncle Alonzo was in full Romeo mode and was giving Terrence a look like he wanted to eat him up.
God.
My family.
“I’m Terry. I’ve heard so much about you. Alonzo, right?” Flirting and giving Alonzo a coy smile, Terrence stepped closer. “Marcello said you’d be the most handsome man here.”
I wasn’t sure how I felt about Terrence flirting with my antique uncle, but Alonzo gave him a beaming smile before the flirty one came back. Terrence was definitely eating up the wicked attention. “You’re the handsome one, my dear. Handsome and such a flirt.”
Yes, but just for Uncle Alonzo, it seemed.
My Terrence was adorably awkward and giggly, but Terry was a smooth talker.
It was weird and I hoped he didn’t do it when we got home. But for the time being, it could be fun to watch.
“Oh, I bet you say that to all the boys.” Giving Alonzo a coy smile, Terry shifted it to a hurt frown as he slipped his hand through Alonzo’s arm. “But I’ll let you make it up to me. This is a wonderful party but no one has gotten me a drink yet.”
As Alonzo made a tsking sound and frowned, he nodded at Terry. “We’re going to have to fix that, my sweet. We can’t have you parched.”
Watching my boyfriend give my uncle an innocent smile as they wandered off together, I almost jumped when Carlo stepped beside me. “You know that’s creepy, right?”
“Yep.” But they seemed to be having fun. “The only good part is that he doesn’t have to talk to anyone else while he’s pretending to let Alonzo seduce him.”
Managing to hide his laughter, Carlo let out a slow breath to keep from giving the game away. “Your boyfriend is really smart, you know that? They have to leave them alone or risk upsetting Uncle Alonzo.”
“Yep. He’s brilliant, and I’m pretty sure he’s loving the fact that he’s fucking around with their plans.” They were never going to be able to get one over on my very smart cutie…especially when he was in full professional whatever the fuck he did mode.
“That’s going to drive half the party nuts and half are going to be rooting for him to take them all down.” Carlo couldn’t help grinning that time. “The moms have pushed their luck a little too far lately.”
“Terrence said they need hobbies and I think he’s right.” I just wasn’t sure how to do it.
“Oh.” Carlo looked like a light bulb should’ve gone off over his head. “I know how to fix this. Father Matthew.”
Huh?
“He’s…oh…” He was in charge of all the community service the church had done lately. Just because I didn’t go anymore didn’t mean I hadn’t heard all the local gossip. “You’re going to sic him on them?”
“Better.” Looking devious, Carlo almost rubbed his hands together in glee. “I’m going to tell him that I overheard the moms talking about not doing enough for the church but they’re not sure how to help and don’t want to step on his toes. They’re so take-charge, you know.”
Amazing.
“You’re just as smart as Terrence in your own way. He’s going to be impressed.” I’d thought my family was immune to his everyone has something they’re smart about philosophy, but I might’ve been wrong.
“Thanks.” Bumping his fist into my shoulder, he nodded. “But you might want to go remind Uncle Alonzo he can’t grab his new friend’s ass in public.”
Fuck.
****
“So, does Terry think his evening was a success?” Grinning as Terrence giggled, I pulled him against me as soon as I locked the door. “He seems to have found an interesting new friend.”
It’d taken Uncle Alonzo half the night to shift from trying to seduce Terry to telling everyone war stories I couldn’t decide were his or not. But Terrence had been having fun and loved being able to play pretend around my family without having to worry.
As his giggles got worse, he buried his face into my shoulder and finally sounded like my boy again. “He’s so nice, Daddy. And he grabbed my butt. A lot. He told me how handsome I was and a few other things that I think were compliments but I don’t know the slang.”
It seemed like he’d found something to research as well as something fun to do at family get-togethers.
“You helped him have a lot of fun too.” Kissing Terrence’s head, I didn’t gloss over that part. “Most of the family doesn’t have the patience to live in the same reality he does, so you were amazing.”
They also didn’t have the patience to let him keep grabbing their asses.
“I had fun, Daddy.” Snuggling closer against me, he made a happy sigh. “He was sweet and he’s good at giving attention.”
We needed to work on giving him a longer list about what made a good date.
“Then I guess it’s good that he’s too old for you and doesn’t know what kind of toys you like.” That got another laugh and he nodded against me. “Because you like attention, don’t you?”
Snickering as he tried to hide it, Terrence aimed for sweet and innocent as he kissed my cheek and settled back in place. “I like your attention the best, Daddy.”
“Suck-up.” As he shook with barely suppressed laughter, I snorted. “You’re just worried you won’t get to play tonight.”
“I suck good. You said so.” Delivered differently, that could’ve been sexy as fuck, but he kept snickering, and as little as he was, it was more adorable than anything else.
“I did.” The situation could’ve gone a few different ways, but picking which way to steer us was difficult. “Because you are. You’re a very good cocksucker for your Daddy.”
And the giggles escaped again…but he nodded and wiggled against me, which were his I’ve got an erection, Daddy signals.
“I’m your good cocksucker, Daddy.” Still finding the whole thing hilarious, he was ready to escape several different ways at the moment. “Alonzo…he…Alonzo said I had pretty lips.”
The way he was giggling said Uncle Alonzo had said something more colorful.
“Oh, you’ve been flirting with other men.” My shocked tone was fake enough to get more silly sounds from Terrence. “I think I need to make an impression on my naughty boy.”
His happy wiggles said he approved of that plan but he had to play pretend too. “Oh, Daddy…I…I want to show you I belong to you.”
“We can do that too.” Just not near doors and windows. “Come here, naughty boy.”
He was doing his best to look sad and serious but it wasn’t working at all. “Oh…but…but you said I’m your cocksucker.”
He thought that word was hilarious.
Yep, littlish and sinking fast.
But still my naughty cutie.
“Don’t worry. I’m going to use that pretty mouth after I’ve helped you remember who you belong to.” He thought that was fun, but my muttering as I started pulling him through the house put it over the top. “ I’m not letting a dirty old flirt seduce my boy. He’s my cocksucker .”
Uncle Alonzo must’ve been hell on wheels when he was younger.
Terrence seemed to agree but he was too silly to explain that at the moment. “I’m yours, Daddy.”
That would’ve sounded more believable and more romantic if he hadn’t been shaking with laughter that he couldn’t completely hold back. “I’m going to help you remember that.”
And help him relax as I distracted him.
He’d enjoyed spending time with Uncle Alonzo, but the rest had been exhausting and I could see how tired he was in his eyes. He was going to crash hard at some point, but until then I was going to help him unwind in a variety of ways.
“I…” Terrence paused, his naughty little brain racing in circles. “I want to remember to be your good boy, Daddy.”
Yep, he didn’t want to protest too much and risk losing out on his fun.
“Thank you.” Kissing his head as we made it into the bedroom, I did my best to look serious. “That’s very important to me.”
Because it made it much easier to spank him and come up with the dirty talk for the scene.
“I…you’re important, Daddy.” Terrence was grasping at straws about what to say, but honestly, just the attempt was sexy and cute.
“You always make me feel important.” Stripping off his sweater and then his shirt, I casually lifted one shoulder and sighed. “Well, except when you’re flirting with dirty old men for attention.”
He really wanted to giggle but I could see him trying to work out the best response. “I…you give the best attention, Daddy.”
Adorable.
“Then let me give you lots of attention.” Kissing his nose to keep the scene feeling more innocent than it really was, I did my best to look serious. “But you’re going to have to do your best to be my good boy. Can you do that?”
As he nodded, I trailed my fingers down his chest to his pants. They almost looked like real ones, but they had a stretchy waist and were lined in some kind of soft fabric. They also felt good to the touch, which might’ve been one of the reasons Uncle Alonzo had kept petting Terry’s ass. “I…I’ll be a good boy.”
That could definitely have several different meanings and we were going to use as many as we could until he fell asleep.
“I’m glad.” Giving each cheek a kiss, I sank down low in front of him to help him out of the rest of his clothes. “But my good boy needs to be naked to get the best attention.”
To start with at least.
Terrence’s moan said he approved of the plan. “I…Yes, Daddy.”
Yep, whatever brains he had left were all in complete agreement that he had the best Daddy ever.
