Page 18 of His Last Chase
His face lit up and he grinned from ear to ear.
“You have a present for me?”
There was my sweet little just waiting to be freed. “I do, my sweet boy. I didn’t bring it in for fear of your friends seeing it when you weren’t ready to share this side of you.” I was thankful I’d made that decision given the less than warm reception I’d received.
I glanced around his bedroom suite that was easily the size of my small house, but I refused to feel inferior. Chase didn’t choose me for my money, obviously, nor did he flaunt his. He was doing well enough on his own. He chose me for me and that was worth more than a puffy bank account.
“But we have a birthday party to attend.” How I’d love to stay here, safe within these walls where Chase felt most comfortable. Chatting for hours, learning all I could about him, but there’d be time for that later.
“Oh shoot, I didn’t get a gift for Jamie.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got that covered. I signed both our names to the card, I hope that’s okay?” His head bobbed up and down. He just wanted to be included, have fun and let go, and I’d spend my every waking moment ensuring he got that.
“Okay, but if they bother you on the way out I’m gonna get really, really mad.” Chase clenched his fists and allowed his sassy little to speak. More words than I’d heard from him yet. I could see already his little and I would have the best time together.
“It’s all right, sweet boy. I can handle it. You’re worth it.” I kissed him again and he touched his lips.
“I’m worth it?”
“More than you know.”
Everyone was poolside from what I gathered with a brief glimpse as we passed the sliding glass doors. It wasn’t until we reached the front door that we encountered any bodies. David and a security guard who stood there waiting.
“Where are you two sneaking off to?” David asked.
“Remember Henry?” I asked him.
“Of course. The sweet little I played with at Cordes. You’re going to see him? Chase and Henry will get along well.” David was wise beyond his young years which helped him become the wonderful Daddy to Jordan he was.
“Kind of. We’re going to his friend Jamie’s birthday party and Henry and his Daddies will be there as well.”
David patted Chase’s shoulder. “Have fun, Buddy, don’t worry about these yahoos.” He gestured toward the pool. “I’ll handle them.”
“Thanks, David,” Chase whispered.
“You’re welcome, Bud. We’ll see you crazy kids later. Think Snipe is on Chase duty tonight?” David nodded to the hulking figure by the door.
“Yup. Let’s roll. I’ll follow in the Escalade.” Snipe had spoken and so it shall be.
We hopped into my SUV and buckled up. Even if we wanted to take Chase’s car there were so many in the driveway there was no way he’d get it out of the garage without rousing the crowd and neither of us were in the mood for that.
True to his word, Snipe stayed directly behind us during the short drive. While I was glad he was there to protect Chase, it felt like we were on a supervised date.
“You ready for your first littles party?”
“Kinda. I want to get to know Henry and Jamie better, but I still don’t know how I’m supposed to act.” My poor unsure boy.
“Well, that’s easy, just be yourself. Big or little, whatever comes naturally, just go with it. There’s no right or wrong answer to this. In time you’ll figure it out, but the biggest part is to just be free, let go, and have fun.”
“’Kay.”
I texted Timothy when we pulled up. He asked that we not ring the bell since Jamie was down for a nap and he wanted to sneak us in. As he opened the door, Chase and I stepped quietly inside.
“Who’s in the black SUV?” Timothy whispered as he stared at the vehicle.
“Chase’s bodyguard.”
“Bodyguard?” Timothy glanced from Chase to the vehicle then back to Chase. “Um, is there something I should know?”
