Legendary Daddy, Mia Monroe [romantic books to read .txt] 📗

staying here. If you get to a point where you don’t want to be here anymore, you just need to come and talk to me. Okay? But you’re not going back to that place.”

Warmth fills my insides. “Yes, Daddy. I understand. Thank you so much for caring about me.”

“Bentley, I cared about you the moment I saw your face. Obviously, I haven’t been able to stay away from you, and I’m pretty sure that isn’t going to change anytime soon.”

I smile, and it feels like my heart is expanding. “Thank you, Daddy. I’m so spoiled.”

“Well, you deserve to be spoiled. Maybe it’s finally time.”

“Thank you. When can I have my good-boy reward?”

Heat flares in Legend’s eyes, causing my stomach to flutter. “Tonight, sweet boy.”

We walk out to the living room where we find Matteo sitting on the couch looking at his phone. Matteo is extremely handsome. He’s tall and broad with thick salt-and-pepper hair and dark eyes. He’s covered in tattoos just like my handsome Legend. He has a mean-looking resting face, but his smile gives away the sweetness inside. He must be a good man if he’s friends with my Daddy. Because Legend is a good man, and I know that he wouldn’t hang around with bad people.

“Daddy?”

“Yes, baby?”

“I’m so thankful that you could see what a wonderful person Ramos is. I bet a lot of people judge him based on his looks.”

“Yeah, I bet you’re right, baby. But a lot of people judge me based on my looks too. And based on my profession, but we don’t care how people judge us, do we?”

“No, Daddy, I’ve never cared about that.”

“Good. If there’s anything I can do for Ramos, I will. Matteo and I will put our heads together about that.”

“He wants to get a food truck or have a restaurant someday. I don’t want him to be alone there. I’ve never seen him with anyone. No family. No girls or...well, I guess he’s possibly into guys.” I laugh.

“Sounds like it, at least somewhat.”

“Yeah, but he’s always just hanging out by himself, and I want him to be happy. Maybe he could even find somebody to love. Love is the best thing ever, isn’t it, Daddy?”

He smiles. “Love is, beautiful baby. I hope he can find love too. I’ll have to see what I can do about helping him, but if he likes the neighborhood he lives in, there’s not much we can do. I can’t make him do something he doesn’t want to do. I’m not his Daddy.”

I laugh. “That would be so funny if you were his Daddy too.”

“Maybe, but I’m not polyamorous.”

“No? You seemed to enjoy filming polyamorous scenes. I always wondered.”

“Back in the day, before I met Arian, I did enjoy taping a threesome, but that’s very different from what you might do in real life, isn’t it?”

“Yes, of course, Daddy. It’s different, and I wouldn’t like to share you. I’m not polyamorous either.” In a whisper, I add, “Even though Matteo is super hot.”

Matteo turns toward me and laughs. “I can hear you, kiddo.”

My cheeks heat. “Oh my god. I’m so embarrassed.”

Legend smacks me on the butt. “Don’t be embarrassed, boy. It’s cute. But yeah, I’m definitely not sharing you with Matteo, or anybody else.”

“Good. That’s just how I like it, Daddy. I’m yours and yours alone.”

“Perfect.” He kisses me. “All right, let’s get going, or we’ll spend the whole day not getting anything done. Matteo’s here for a specific reason. Are you ready to head out?”

“Definitely ready.”

“Yep, I’m ready,” Matteo says. “Let’s go.”

The three of us leave the house and make our way back to Legend’s truck in the driveway. Matteo has several addresses that he wants to check out based on research he did before he came down to Los Angeles. So we go to all of those first. Several of them are not in neighborhoods that appeal to him. He’s looking for something sort of quirky with kind of a hip vibe and definitely queer friendly.

On the way, Legend explains how Matteo’s business is unique. It’s boudoir and sensual photography, but specifically for LGBT+ couples and individuals. So it’s important to be in an area where people can feel safe being themselves, which, fortunately, most of LA is that way. But some areas are more accepting than others. Especially because his business also has a kink vibe to it. He wants an environment where he can safely advertise and people will feel comfortable during their photo shoots.

We finally stop in one neighborhood that has the perfect aesthetic. There’s an empty little storefront surrounded by boutiques, restaurants, and mom-and-pop shops. There are rainbow flags in many of the business windows, which is an encouraging sign.

“Perfect,” Matteo says, gazing into the glass of the shop. “What do you think, Legend?”

He looks around. “Yeah, I really like this neighborhood. I come here a lot to eat at different restaurants. It’s got a great vibe, especially at night. It’s a cool area. I actually wanted to live here a while back, but it’s a little too bustling for me. I needed a place to get away from it all.”

Matteo nods. “Yeah, I like it.”

“I love it here, Daddy. Maybe this would be a really cool area for my business.”

“Ah, you know, that’s not a bad idea, kiddo,” Matteo says. “I could totally see this being a cool place to do some shooting.” And then Matteo’s face lights up. “Wait a second. You’re looking for a porn studio eventually, right?”

I nod. “Yes, that’s right, Matteo.”

“And I’m building a sensual photography studio. Guess what sensual photography studios have inside of them.”

“What?”

“Beds.” He grins. “Beds and all kinds of interesting setups. I’m really into Shibari, so I’ll have a rope room. I’m also into various kinks and BDSM. Photographing it, just to be clear.”

We all laugh.

My mind starts working overtime.

“You could use it as your studio for filming,” Matteo continues. “Whenever I’m not photographing someone.”

“Fuck, dude, that’s an amazing idea,” Legend says. “Bentley, you wouldn’t have to go
