Kaden smeared lube on the crease in Emilio’s ass, then twisted his finger inside. He circled around and inserted another finger. After a few minutes spent stretching Emilio, he pressed his cock into Emilio’s tight opening, hard and deep, but abruptly stopped when Emilio yelped like a puppy.
“Hey, do you need more lube, boy?”
“No. Fuck me…please. Fuck me hard,” Emilio pleaded.
“I don’t want you hurting.” Kaden pulled out, added some more lube inside Emilio and onto his cock. He didn’t like the sound of his whimpering.
Kaden held Emilio’s hips, pushing his chest against his back, just so his ass stuck up in the air. He aimed his cock into Emilio’s hole again. So smooth. He’s perfect.
“Feel better?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Kaden snapped his hips harder, making Emilio pant and sweat.
“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck,” Emilio moaned, trying to push back.
Kaden growled, slapping his ass and slamming to the hilt. “Don’t move, boy,” he demanded. He needed to make sure Emilio followed directions. Moving around could cost his boy more pain or possibly he might get injured.
Emilio whimpered nonstop in a good way when Kaden’s hand stroked his erection. His tight ass felt like velvet while his hand stroked his slick erection. His balls were throbbing. He seems to like it. He really likes it. Someday, this boy will be my sub.
“I love your sweet ass,” Kaden moaned.
Kaden moved his hips harder and faster, forcing Emilio to jolt forward from his thrusts. Emilio screamed with pleasure when Kaden hit his prostate. He loved making Emilio feel good when he fucked him. He deserved to enjoy sex.
“Again, there, Sir,” Emilio panted.
Kaden hit Emilio’s prostate dead on. “There you go, my love. Like getting your little sweet spot hit?”
Emilio nodded frantically, released broken moans, and panted heavily. His orgasm took him by surprise; he arched his back, blasted his cum onto Kaden’s hands. He groaned loudly when Emilio’s butt muscles tightened and milked his stiff member.
“Fuck, boy,” he growled, flooding deep inside his ass.
Emilio moaned softly when Kaden came. He removed the tie from Emilio’s eyes and released him from the handcuffs. Kaden wrapped his arms around Emilio and turned him to face him. He held him tightly in his arms for a while, then they went to the bathroom. Kaden cleaned Emilio and himself with a washcloth. They washed their hands together in the sink then he leaned over and kissed Emilio.
“It really means a lot to me that you left with me. I would have missed you if you stayed with the group. I mean really missed you.”
“I want to be with you.”
“Take a shower, get dressed, and meet me in the kitchen.” Kaden left.
After he pulled out a beer, his phone rang. It was his father calling.
“Hi Dad,” Kaden said.
“I’m calling to let you know I turned the Big Bear cabins over to you for your birthday.”
“What? You can’t keep giving me so many expensive things.” Kaden loved his father for always being there. All the money and things were great but his support meant the world to him especially when he had told him he was gay. Nothing changed between them. It was as if he had already known.
“You’re the only son I have. I want you to have it. How come you didn’t tell me that you were co-owners with Rafe?”
“Oh, I was a silent partner but I’m going to go equal with him.”
“Look, I talked to Rafe yesterday. He told me what happened between you two.”
“His version, right?”
“It’s not Rafe’s fault he decided to move to my property in California. I told him that I was signing them over to you and that you guys could stay there if you wanted. At first he declined, but when he called me back the next day, he said they were going to move there. I thought he talked it over with you.”
“He didn’t. He decided without asking me. That’s why I’m not talking to him.”
“Did you want the cabins for yourself, not the group?”
“Oh no. That’s not what it’s about. It’s perfect for our group.”
“He also told me that you took some action on Emilio’s abusers without his knowledge. He explained that the group had a rule if there wasn’t any immediate threat, no action should have been taken. He was upset that you and Valerik put yourselves at risk, which I agree with Rafe. As a group, you should all be a part of the decisions and actions, not just you and Valerik.”
“Are you siding with Rafe on this?” Kaden went outside on the patio.
“You just got out of jail. How could you take a chance like that when it wasn’t necessary?”
“There was a reason. Emilio had some phone threats from them. I wanted him safe.”
“I understand that, but Rafe is his cousin, and he didn’t think it was necessary. He told me they were phone calls from California and you guys were in New Jersey at the time.”
“No, Dad. Rafe is Emilio’s father.”
“His father?”
“Yes, he recently told him.”
“Well then he didn’t think it was necessary as his father. I thought Emilio looked like a miniature version of Rafe, and I thought that was why you were with him. So Rafe is his father. That means you were with Rafe and his son. I don’t even want to make any sense out of that mess.”
“I thought they were cousins. I would have never taken Emilio had I known he was his son.”
“But you have him now, and I can tell you care about him.”
“He’s under my protection, not Rafe’s. I made the decision to take action. It’s all history now,” Kaden said.
“Not really. If you’re not talking to your business partner, that isn’t good business. I suggest you clean it up.”
“I need a break from him, Dad. Thanks for the birthday present. I appreciate everything you have done for me. I mean all your support not just money. You give me your shoulder to lean on and bail me out of messes. I’m very lucky to have you as my father.”
“You bring us a lot of happiness even when you mess up, but your heart is in the right place. I like your values.”
“Thanks, Dad. I learned my values from you and Mom.”
“Your mother is still in Ireland, but she’s returning in a few weeks. I hope you visit her.”
“When I can.”
“Where are you now?”
“Huntington Beach.”
“Text me the address. Your mother wants to send you a birthday card. I can’t believe you’re thirty-five years old. Time to get married and adopt some kids.”
“Married? Kids? I’m not sure about all that.”
“So do you two have plans for your birthday?”
“Emilio doesn’t know it’s my birthday tomorrow.”
“He must be special to you because you went against Gay Protection Society rules to protect him. I hope you settle down.”
“I’ll think about it.” Kaden laughed.
“Stay out of trouble and make up with Rafe.”
“Okay, Dad. Thanks again.”
Kaden sent the address to his father. Then he noticed Emilio standing by the opened sliding door. He motioned for Emilio to sit beside him.
“Who were you talking to?” Emilio asked.
“My dad.”
“I wasn’t eavesdropping, but I heard you say that you wouldn’t have taken me if you knew I was Rafe’s son instead of his cousin. You don’t really want me?” Emilio’s face paled.
Kaden kneeled down beside Emilio. “Listen to me. I want you very much. I’m not the kind of guy who hangs around someone I don’t want. If I had known you were Rafe’s son before I’d actually met you, I probably wouldn’t have taken you. But I didn’t know you, and I thought you were cousins.”
“You’re saying the same thing you just said to your dad; that you wouldn’t have wanted me if you knew.” Emilio’s voice sounded so serious and so sad.
“I love you, Emilio
. There’s that. I’m not good at saying how I feel. My father caught me off guard when he asked me if it felt weird to have been with Rafe and his son. I just said my truth. None of that means anything now. I met you and fell in love with you. There’s no way I’m giving you up. You belong to me. Do you believe me?” Kaden stood and sat in his chair again.
“I love you too. Does your father think you shouldn’t be with me?”
“Ah. No. He said he could tell I care about you a lot since I broke the rules to protect you. He told me I was getting old and should get married.” Kaden smiled.
“I didn’t know tomorrow was your birthday. Let’s celebrate it,” Emilio said.
“We can go to a club, maybe a BDSM one. What do you think?”
“That sounds like fun for both of us.”
Kaden said, leaning over the table and kissing Emilio. “Did you get your candy bar I left for you?” Kaden’s fingers threaded through Emilio’s hair. He kissed his ear and released him.
“Yes, Sir.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Kaden
After two hours of twisting and turning, he’d finally fallen asleep. When he woke, Emilio wasn’t lying beside him. Maybe Kaden had interrupted Emilio’s sleep during the night. Kaden got out of bed and put on a pair of shorts. He tiptoed along the dark hallway and stopped at the guest room’s door, listening for any sounds, but he didn’t hear anything. Carefully he turned the knob and entered. No sign of Emilio. It was obvious Emilio had been upset about something, enough for him to leave their bed.
Sometimes, Emilio acted secretive when Kaden had thought he had a handle on him, but it never lasted long before he made a few mistakes and needed correction. Though he had to admit, Emilio’s behavior amused him at times. While he put his whole heart into performing for Kaden, it seemed Emilio had an underlying agenda. That didn’t make for the best of subs, but that was Emilio. Kaden was on the selfish side when it came to his physical needs, though Emilio had always taken care of him first. Emilio was everything he could have asked for in a lover.
Kaden nervously made his way to the kitchen, but Emilio wasn’t there. Nor on the patio. He hadn’t left a note either. His phone was on the counter charging, so wherever he was, there wouldn’t be a way to connect. How could he leave without saying anything? Kaden returned to the bedroom and finished dressing. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and made some coffee in the kitchen. He’d need that before he went looking for Emilio. There was no reason why Emilio would leave without telling him. Then he remembered their conversation when Kaden had said he wouldn’t have taken Emilio if he had known Rafe was his father. Emilio knew he wasn’t supposed to go anywhere without him, but he’d left Kaden anyway. He felt sick. It wasn’t like him to leave without a note. Even if he had still been hurt over what Kaden had said, Kaden believed Emilio would have said something. Emilio had read a story before they went to sleep, and he’d seemed just fine. They’d cuddled and kissed.
After Kaden finished his coffee, he checked Emilio’s phone. It didn’t have any messages, but James had called him two hours ago. They’d spoken for an hour. Maybe something had upset him enough to leave. Kaden left the condominium and crossed the street to the beach. He walked along the water in the dark. Crashing waves played a sad rhythm on the sand. The ocean breeze built into strong winds; the sky darkened further. A storm edged nearer; soon rain would pour buckets. The sandy beach was empty in the middle of the night, too windy and dark. Was Emilio okay? He didn’t want his boy to get wet and sick.
He kept walking, looking for Emilio, but he didn’t see him. Emilio wasn’t on the beach, but at three in the morning, he couldn’t be in a bar or a restaurant either. Where could he be? Kaden didn’t want to call James in the middle of the night, but seeing James had called Emilio, he might know where Emilio was. Kaden stopped to tap James’s number and hoped he’d answer.
“What’s wrong, Kaden?” James asked, sounding sleepy.
“Why did you call Emilio in the middle of the fucking night?” Kaden asked.
“I didn’t call him. Maybe Dante used my phone.”
“Your phone number was on Emilio’s as a call for one hour.”
“Dante, did you call Emilio?” James shouted through the phone. “Yes, Dante called, using my damn phone while I was sleeping.”
“Emilio’s gone,” Kaden said.
“What do you mean he’s gone?” James asked.
“He’s gone. I’m looking for him all over. What did Dante say to him?”
“I’ll let you talk to him. He’s in big trouble.”
“Hello, Dante here.”
“Do you know where Emilio is?” Kaden asked.
“No, Sir. We talked for an hour about BDSM. He was really excited about it. Before he hung up, he said he was going back to bed. Is he missing?”
“Yes. Now put James back on,” Kaden said.
“Hey, I think you should go back home and wait for him. I’m sure he’ll be back. You know these guys always have to challenge us,” James said.
“Something isn’t right.”
“I guess you didn’t call Rafe, right?”
“No. He’s the last person I want to talk to about Emilio. He’ll blame me.”
“Go home, have a drink, and then go to bed. He’ll come home.”
“He will if he can,” Kaden said.
“No one knows where you are.”
“Are you guys still in Hawaii?”
“No, we left two days ago. We’re staying at Big Bear. It’s beautiful here.”
“Yes, I know. I’ve been there many times as a child,” Kaden said.
“I wish you guys would come back. It’s not the same without you two. Dante and the other guys miss you.”
“I can’t think about that right now, I’m too worried about Emilio.”
“Call us when he comes home.”
“Will do.” Kaden ended the call.
He walked back home and went straight to the kitchen. He poured himself a Jack Daniels and sat on the patio chair. It felt good talking to James. He hadn’t realized how much he had missed the group.
Kaden’s phone rang.
“Hello,” Kaden said.
“Is this Kaden Donagan?” a man asked.
“Yes.”
“This is Officer Carlos Martinez, and I have Emilio Escobar with me. Can you pick him up?”
“Sure. Is he okay?”
“He’s banged up, but he’ll be okay.”
“Where is he?”
“At my house.”
“How did he get banged up?”
“I got home from my shift and found three men in front of my house, beating him up. I stepped out of my car immediately and told them to stop. When they saw I was a police officer, they ran. I took Emilio to the hospital where they bandaged him up, and I drove him back to my house. He was in too much pain and couldn’t remember where he lived. He gave me your card with your phone number.”
“Are you sure he’s okay?” Kaden prayed Emilio wasn’t hurt too badly. At this point, he had to trust Officer Martinez had Emilio.
“He’s bruised, but the doctor said nothing serious. Luckily, I found him before they could do much damage.”
“Thank you for helping him. Send me a text with your address, and I’ll be right there.”
Kaden sent James a text telling him he was picking up Emilio. He ran out of the condo to his car and turned on his GPS. Carlos lived just around the block. Emilio must have taken a walk and ran into trouble. Kaden parked in front of the small adobe home and rang the doorbell.
“Come in.” A tall man with dark hair dressed in his uniform answered the door.
“Thank you for helping Emilio.”
“I wanted to arrest the guys, but I was more concerned about Emilio.”
Emilio was on the couch with a blanket. He had a couple of bruises and a bandage on his arm. Kaden bent down beside him.
“Hey, I’m here for you,” Kaden said.
“Kaden, I�
�m sorry.”
“It’s okay. Can you stand?”
“Yes. I feel much better.”
“Thank you so much for helping Emilio. Do I owe you money for the hospital?”
“No. He had his insurance card in his wallet.”
“Thanks. I really appreciate what you’ve done for him.” He shook hands with Carlos.
Kaden took Emilio’s hand, and they walked to the car. Once they got home, Kaden helped him undress and put him to bed. After stripping off his clothes, Kaden slid in as well and pulled Emilio in his arms.
“Tell me what happened?” Kaden asked.
“Well, I couldn’t sleep, but I didn’t want to disturb you. You were finally sleeping after all your twisting and turning. I got up and talked to Dante.”
“You talked to him in the middle of the night?”
“I sent him a text, and he told me to call James’s number.”
“Then what happened?”
“I talked to Dante about BDSM. Then I got this feeling like everything was closing in on me. I’ve had this feeling before. Usually when it happens, I go outside for some fresh air and I feel better.”
“Then what happened?”
“I walked around the block, but three guys standing on the corner stopped me. They threw me down and kicked me everywhere. Then Officer Martinez stepped out of his car. He told them to leave me alone. They immediately ran away.”
“What did they do to you at the hospital?”
“Cleaned and bandaged me up. No broken bones. If Officer Martinez hadn’t come home, I’d be in big trouble.”
“I was so worried about you when I woke up and you were not there. I just don’t understand why you didn’t take your phone with you.”
“It needed charging. Sorry to have caused you worry.”
“I’m not going to punish you for leaving; you look beat up enough. But don’t you ever leave again without telling me first.”
“Kaden, I just don’t understand why I’m such a target. It’s not fair I can’t walk outside alone. It’s getting worse for me.”
“It won’t always be like that. I’ll work on building you into a Ninja and teach you how to defend yourself. For now, I’ll protect you, and we’ll go everywhere together. I went out of my mind when I couldn’t find you.”
