Page 38 of Kane
It was great to see that Leon didn’t harbor any feelings of jealousy or sadness.
Leon was a great guy.
One of the best people that Kane had ever met all told.
His time would come, Kane was sure of that.
Leon’s problem was that as an ER doctor he had a hectic schedule and a job that was stressful in a way that not many people could comprehend. Performing surgery on critically injured people pushed him to the limits. Sometimes beyond.
There were other things going on with Leon too.
But being a Daddy Dom, he often put up a defense mechanism to cover them up. Leon’s way around his feelings was often by cracking a risqué joke. Or three.
‘You know, I really think Cassie could be… the one,’ Kane said, encouraged to keep talking by Leon. ‘It’s hard to explain exactly, but… the feelings are running deeper than I’ve experienced. And I mean deeper thanever.’
Cage and Leon exchanged a look between them.
‘You know man, I think Cassie could be the making of you,’ Leon said. ‘We’ve all seen each other at low points before. Always had each other’s back. Like family. But Cassie could be the person who makes sure you’re good to go twenty-four-seven. You can’t put a value on that. It’s what we’re all searching for, right?’
Cage nodded in agreement.
‘That’s exactly right,’ Cage said, cracking open a beer. ‘Look at those Littles. They’re so cute. I really feel like seeing them so happy and carefree is a privilege.’
‘Even if Sydney and her stunts are sometimes a bit much,’ Leon said, casting a concerned and somewhat disapproving look over at Sydney. ‘Jesus. That kid’s going to seriously fucking hurt herself one of these days.’
‘Ha! If I didn’t know better, I’d say that was the sound of a Daddy talking,’ Kane laughed, watching as Leon flexed his muscles, the large tribal tattoo on his arm enhancing the shape of his large bicep. ‘Maybe you should go over there and give her a spanking?’
‘I’m going to say… no,’ Leon said, shutting down the conversation abruptly.
The three Daddies laughed.
Although Kane did notice that Leon seemed awfully keen on Sydney’s activities. Maybe there was in fact something going on there from Leon’s point of view at least.
‘Daddy! Daddy!’ Cassie called, charging over towards Kane. ‘Can we go an pick up an ice-pop now?’
Kane paused a moment.
Despite the fact he had promised Cassie the treat, he didn’t want to look like anything less than the stern Daddy in front of his friends.
Hell, who was he kidding?
Of coursethey could go and get an ice-pop.
In fact, Kane and Cassie would go and buy a whole box of them. Enough to last for the rest of their time at the park.
‘Don’t get up to anything too naughty on the way!’ Leon called out as Kane and Cassie began to walk. ‘I know there’s plenty of bushes around. But you must resist!’
‘Urgh. Ignore Leon. He’s always trying to get in people’s heads with his jokes,’ Kane said, shaking his head.
‘He is kinda funny though,’ Cassie said. ‘I think Sydney might like him. But she won’t admit it. She says Leon’s far too serious usually.’
Kane nodded.
He didn’t want to even try to play matchmaker, so didn’t add anything further to the conversation.
Then, something happened. Almost without realizing, Kane and Cassie began walking hand in hand.
It felt nice.
