His breath caught. That would look amazing together and Sam had the perfect pair of velvet flats that would match. Carson held up the choices.

“Yes, please.”

His Daddy strolled over and laid the outfit on the mattress. “I’ll drop by sometime today and I can’t wait to see my baby doll all dressed up.”

Baby doll. He’d never been called something so sweet, so meaningful, so…right. “Baby doll?”

Carson laughed. “I’ve been calling you baby boy, but I think baby doll just fits you better. That’s what you reminded me of last night when you were dressed up. It’s a special name that I’ve never used with anyone else as well.”

“No one’s ever called me that but yes, it is perfect.” Sam found himself getting emotional.

His Daddy pulled him up off the bed before taking Sam into his arms. “You make me happy. I want you to know that.”

Sam squeezed back with all his might. Carson even grunted. Words failed him but he wanted his Daddy to know how much what Carson said meant to him.

Sam

Sam laughed along with the crew of Twisted & Tangled Tattoos, Lucas’s newly opened shop across the street, as he and the crew watched Lucas flirt with Adam. Adam for his part was mostly ignoring all of them but Sam didn’t miss the small smile on his best friend’s face.

Caden and the tattooed crew’s only piercer, Trick, were huddled along the other counter watching, but not teasing like them. Trick was as shy and quiet as Caden and the two of them had hit it off immediately. Trick’s huge tatted-up six-foot-seven boyfriend, Mack, stood between Caden and Trick and the rest of the room. Even though he joked with them, his attention never strayed far from his boy and Caden. Protective and a solid wall to stop anyone from getting close to the boys.

All of the drinks had been made, and really the crew should leave to open the shop, but Lucas was chatting Adam up while trying to ignore all of them.

The door opened and Mack’s brother, another tattooer, threw his head back and laughed loudly. “This keeps getting better and better.”

Glancing over, Sam saw Nash and Lincoln enter the shop. Behind them, Carson stepped inside and Sam grew giddy with excitement. His Daddy had kept his promise and come to see him!

Sam glided around the counter, his long skirt tickling his ankles, as he hurried forward. Carson already had his arms open. Sam slipped into his Daddy's hold then pushed up on his tiptoes to meet Carson’s mouth. Everything and everyone else disappeared as Carson’s tongue rubbed against his.

It was unfortunate that he wore only a small thong, so Sam had to pull away before his cock grew any harder. The clinging black material of his skirt would not hide his reaction to kissing his Daddy.

“You look beautiful,” Carson said as he cupped Sam’s face.

Sam’s hands were gripping the front of Carson’s suit jacket. Sam liked that Carson was always touching him, his face, or anywhere else. “I feel beautiful. Caden cried when he saw me. He was as happy as I was, and Adam told me how relieved he was to see me in my favorite clothes again.” He spoke quietly even though he could hear Nash loudly joking behind him.

“That’s good, baby doll,” Carson replied. “It’s important to surround yourself with people who accept you.”

Baby doll. He let out a sigh. He loved that nickname. “I think I let myself forget that for a while, but I feel much better now.”

Loud laughter pulled Sam away and he grabbed Carson’s hand, towing him closer to the crowd. Nash caught his eye and winked before bowing deeply. “You look amazing. That is a gorgeous color on you.”

Sam found himself blushing, but he patted Nash’s arm as he passed. He had to let go of Carson’s hand as introductions were made between Carson and the tattoo crew. Hurrying around the counter, Sam stepped up to Caden’s station just as Caden finished making Lincoln’s preferred drink. It had become a kind of tradition that they took care of their own guy’s order. Caden always took care of Lincoln, Sam served Carson, and even though Adam never admitted it, he always made the drinks for Nash and Lucas.

Caden slipped around him and headed to Lincoln as Sam began to brew two shots of espresso.

“It’s nice to meet you, Lieutenant, and if Nash gives you too much trouble, you can find me across the street,” Lucas stated firmly with a glare to Nash.

Nash’s shocked gasp was totally unbelievable.

Adam snorted and received a pout from Nash but a smirk from Lucas.

“It has been my absolute pleasure to meet you, Lucas,” Carson responded with his own wicked grin.

This time Nash’s groan was heartfelt as he rolled his eyes while pouting.

“I did warn you that you were playing with fire,” Lincoln said while nuzzling Caden’s neck. “They were bound to meet eventually.”
