“Yes.” I wiggled closer, trying to be goodand ignore the erection pressing against my ass. “And he was blushing becausenow that you know, he can’t hide it any longer.”
Niall gave me another wide-eyed look.
He was the definition of drama.
“But what do I do about it when I know?” Helooked back toward the doorway again. “I really don’t want to fuck this up.”
He just broke my heart when he said stufflike that.
“Master?” I waited until he was looking atme again, really seeing me instead of just worrying. “Ask him. Just ask him ifthere’s anything you can do. Everything else will work itself out. I promise.”
The tension and, let’s face it, fearstarted to ease out of him. After a few moments, he smiled and leaned forwardto give me a quick kiss as he hugged me tight. “How did I get so lucky? Youjust walked into my life and suddenly everything fell into place.”
He was so cute.
“I think I’m the lucky one. You are sweetand you take such good care of me.” I gave him a smacky kiss and grinned. “Andyou love me lots and lots. I can see it every time you look at me.”
He chuckled, then smacked my ass. “I’msupposed to be the one to tell you that.”
I just grinned even wider. “You were takingtoo long.”
Wiggling closer, I rocked against him likehe was a pony I was making go faster. “Hurry. Tell me now.”
Niall rolled his eyes, but I could see thesmile he was trying to hide. “I guess if I have to.”
As I giggled, he kissed my forehead andhugged me tight again. When I finally stopped laughing, he stroked my cheek. “Ilove you. You are so special and so unique. You surprise me at every turn and Iam so thankful you somehow ended up in my life.”
Aww.
Throwing my arms around him, I squeezedhim. “I love you too.”
Now we just had to figure out how to makehim realize he also loved Julian.
****
It was the sprinkles.
Honestly, nothing could’ve been lesssubtle.
Niall took one look at the sprinkles Julianhad put in the pancakes and his thinking face immediately slid into place. “Isthere anything I can do to help you, Julian?”
Julian immediately looked over at me andgestured wildly with the spatula. “Brat. That question has you written all overit.”
Yes, it did.
“What do you say when…a concerned Dom isasking if they can help you?” I wasn’t sure if Julian was ready to hear merefer to Niall asourDom, so I just let the words hang there silentlyinstead.
Couldn’t get pissed for something I hadn’tsaid.
Julian gave me a very sub look, but it wasa cranky sub that said he was going to get even.
It was so cute and so obvious that evenNiall was watching him curiously again.
Julian turned back and flipped the pancakesbefore taking a deep breath. “I don’t know why I’m feeling a bit…I don’tknow…stressed?”
Niall looked at me questioningly as Julianfocused on the food. I gestured for him to get closer to Julian and noddedapprovingly as he inched toward him. As Julian took the pancakes off the pan,Niall slid his Dom face back into place.
“Julian? Please take this in the spiritit's intended, but would you like a hug or is there something you need fromme?”
