His Protection (MxB)

The Daddy

The police had been to the apartment and left. While seated in Adam's lap and wrapped in his arms, Bailey had agreed to press charges. He watched as Greg's still, unconscious body was wheeled out by police and paramedics.

Once everyone was gone Bailey buried his face in Adam's neck and sobbed. He cried for the little boy who had been abused by the man he thought was his father. He cried for his mother having to deal with a man like Greg for so long. He cried knowing he would never meet his real father.

Adam ran his fingers gently through Bailey's hair and kissed his head softly. His soothing words calmed Bailey and he let out a heavy sigh as Adam felt him relax.

The doorbell rang and Bailey's body became rigid again. He had a death grip on Adam's biceps.

"It's ok baby, I called your friends. They're here to make sure you're ok."

Devin came into the living room. He was a short skinny boy the same age as Bailey. He had lighter brown hair, lighter eyes and lighter skin than Bailey did but he was still a cute boy, Adam thought,  not as cute as Bailey though.

"Bail, are you ok? I'm so sorry hunny!" Devin said as Bailey got up from Adam's lap and rushed over to him. The two young men hugged for a long time and cried together.  Adam sat quietly, knowing the two boys needed to comfort each other.

"It was awful, Dev. He want-wanted to-to, he was the one who sent me the disgusting letters and drawings. My own father. How could a father want to do those things to his son. Though from what he said I'm not his biological son. But still he raised me, Dev. How could he have these feelings towards me. It's disgusting. He said I'd been teasing him since I was a little boy. I-I never did that, Dev. Never. I was just a little kid."

"It's not your fault Bailey. You're right you were just a little boy. He's disgusting. He needs help." Devin rested his hands on Bailey's shoulders.

Nick entered the room interrupting the conversation. "Bailey, I'm so glad you're ok. You are ok, aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm... Fine." Bailey lied.

Nick and Devin's eyes met for a second and Bailey couldn't quite read their faces.

"Devin, this is Nick, my manager. Nick this is Devin, my best friend, he also helps with cleaning and shopping." Bailey introduced the men and they shook hands. Devin smiled shyly at Nick.

"Gentlemen, as much as I hate to do this, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Bailey needs to rest. This has all been quite overwhelming, I'm sure." Adam intervened after hearing Bailey sigh and yawn for the fifth time in three minutes.

"Yes, of course. Join me for a coffee Devin?" Nick asked.

"Um sure." Devin answered, blushing. "Please call me as soon as you're up to company, Bail. I miss you. Love you, babe."

"Love you too, Dev. And I'll call you tomorrow and check in for sure."

Adam walked Devin and Nick out. Bailey climbed into bed and fell asleep almost immediately, not waking when Adam crawled in behind him.

Things were starting to get back to normal. Greg had been released from the hospital and sent to jail to await his trial. Bailey had finally gone back to work. He had always been resilient. He hadn't let his father ruin his life before and he sure wouldn't let him ruin it this time.

Adam had continued to stay with Bailey. He made Bailey feel safe. But now that Bailey seemed to be healed, Adam couldn't help but be nervous that he would no longer be needed. They hadn't been intimate again. Adam wasn't sure how Bailey would feel about it considering all that had happened. But Adam craved Bailey.

He wanted to feel his smooth skin. He wanted to kiss his soft lips. He wanted to hold his small body against his own. Even if they never had sex again, Adam just wanted to be near Bailey.

Unbeknownst to Adam, Bailey felt the same way. He was falling in love with Adam and he was terrified that Adam would leave now that his stalker had been put away.

"A-Adam?" The two men were sitting in the living room watching Netflix, though they both secretly wished they were doing the "chill" part instead. Bailey needed to know how Adam felt.

Adam looked over at Bailey and sucked in a sharp breath. He was sure Bailey was about to fire him. He didn't know how he would survive without him. "Yeah?"

"I've been thinking a lot about this and I don't know what you'll say but I think I still need a bodyguard. I feel safe around you and so I think you should stay here with me. Will you?

"I don't want to be your bodyguard, Bailey."

Bailey's face fell. His brows furrowed together and he felt tears prick his eyes. He was falling in love with Adam. He was sure he was. But now Adam was going to leave. How would Bailey cope?

"I want to be your boyfriend also. I want to be your daddy. So unless you're want that too then-" Adam was cut off as Bailey threw himself into his lap and pressed a hard kiss to his lips. Adam pulled Bailey closer so he was straddling Adam's lap.

"So, that's a yes, baby boy?"
