I couldn’t help myself. Before he came, before I felt the thickening and tightening of his cock in my mouth, I reached down and slid my fingers between my pussy lips. I kept one hand on Drake’s hip to steady myself, while the other circled my clit.

It felt so strange to think of him as Drake now. Even though that’s what I always called Sir when I closed my eyes, and every other older man for that matter, a part of me always knew it wasn’t him. But this time it was him. I was really sucking his cock—on my knees in front of him while I looked up in to his amazing eyes. Drake McDermott was sliding his fucking amazing cock in and out of my mouth.

I wanted so badly to please him and make everything perfect for him. I had to. I had to make it up to him somehow.

I wanted to take all of him down my throat, every single inch of his massive cock. But no matter what I tried, no matter how much I willed it to disappear, the best I could do was swallow half of his cock. I was going to work on it—practice every single day until I could swallow that whole thing all the way down my throat. I was going to make him come like he’d never come before.

I continued to play with my clit and when I noticed a change in the way he was moving—faster and with more urgency—I knew he was very close. Just that knowledge sent me right to the edge, but I held it off—I waited until I felt a stream of his hot come shoot to the back of my throat before I allowed myself to as well.

My body started to jerk forward but I continued to take him down my throat, my muscles closing around his cock every time I swallowed. I could hear his groans and feel his hands on the sides of my head, but I was so lost in my own ecstasy by the time he pulled out of me that I collapsed against his legs.

Drake picked me up and set me down on the bed, then crawled in with me and pulled the sheets over us.

“That was incredible, little sweet pea.”

I felt his lips touch my forehead but was unable to open my eyes. Everything felt so perfect and every fiber of my being wanted to float there next to Drake and hear him call me sweet little nicknames forever. I imagined that nothing bad had ever happened in the world before this. That somehow we had just been plucked out of our normal lives and were floating together. No before and no after … just now. I felt his strong arms around me, completely enveloping me and making me feel so warm and safe.

When I finally opened my eyes, Drake was right there, his arms still around me and his eyes gazing down at me. He brushed my hair back off my face and smiled, but somehow his eyes looked sad.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, hoping I hadn’t done anything to disappoint him.

“Nothing. I’m just thinking about you.”

“What about me? Did I do something wrong?”

“No, of course not. Why do you think you did something wrong?”

“You just don’t look very happy, I guess.”

“I’m very happy,” he said, kissing my head. “I just want to make sure you’re happy, Ashley. That’s very important to me. I don’t want to scare you or make you uncomfortable. I know it probably doesn’t seem like that. But I want you to know that I … I never wanted to hurt you. I didn’t intend to when I brought you here and I don’t want to hurt you while you’re here.”

“What do you mean ‘while I’m here?’ How long do you want me to stay for?”

“I don’t know, Ashley. In my fantasies you stay forever. I want to be with you, if that’s something you think you might want.”

“I do! You don’t even have to ask!” I was so excited at the idea of staying in this gorgeous house with Drake for the rest of my life I could barely contain myself. But his eyes still had that sadness in them and I could tell there was something more on his mind.

“But things are more complicated than I thought they would be. I ran into the police while I was at your dorm room today—“

“What were you doing there?”

“I … I was going to grab your laptop to make sure there wasn’t any incriminating information on it. I was worried that maybe it wasn’t password protected and all of your private activities would be available to anyone who opened it up.”

“No, it’s not password protected. I really should have done that, but I never think about that sort of thing until it’s too late.”

“Most people don’t.”

“That was very thoughtful of you, Drake. Thank you. But why were the police there? Who would have called them?”

“That Justin boy told the RA of your dorm and they contacted me this morning. I’m assuming he also called the police.”

“Why would he have done that? How did he even know I was missing?”

“You didn’t have any plans with him yesterday?”

“No. I don’t know, maybe he said something while he was over the other night about seeing me later, but there was nothing planned.”

“Anyway, I told the police that I was concerned about you because of what you did to yourself last year. So it looks like word is spreading that you might be dead, which I hadn’t planned.”

“What had you planned?”

“Well, I hoped since you rarely attended classes and didn’t socialize at all, that you would be viewed as a dropout. I was planning on gathering your clothing and possessions at some point, but that Justin kid kind of ruined everything. I’m not sure if it’s such a good idea for you to stay here now.”

“But they might still think I dropped out. I could text Justin and tell him to fuck off, which is what I should have done a long time ago. No one has to know anything.”

“No, I don’t think you should do that. There’s something about that kid I don’t like, and I don’t trust. If the police took your laptop, they’ll probably figure out that you disappeared right after you got that message to check the texts on your phone.”

“But they could never trace any of that back to you, could they?”

“I don’t think so. I used a fake name and disposable credit card to create my account on Daddyland, but you never know. I’m not the dean of the computer tech department.” He smiled when he made that joke, but I could see that he was actually very worried.

“I don’t want you to get into trouble, Drake. I don’t want to be the cause of any more trouble for you! But I don’t want to go back there. I don’t want to go back to my old life. I want to stay with you.” My stomach felt sick. Now that I finally had what I’d wanted for years I was finding out that I might not get to keep it after all. I could feel tears running down my face as I looked up at Drake. I loved him. There was no way I could go back now.
