Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Save him, daddy!

(Orville POV)

Zane and I are currently at the hotel lobby right now chatting while everyone is already inside their hotel rooms, sleeping. I'm glad that I was able to tuck in the kids early and read them a bedtime story faster than usual. I don't know if they find the hotel bed too comfy or they are just tired, that is why they fell asleep quickly but either way, that gave me a spare time to spend with my Zane.

"Are you sure your wife is already asleep? What if she sees us right here?" He said in a worrisome tone.

"So what? We're just talking and having coffee." I replied.

"Yeah but wouldn't your wife get suspicious if she sees us talking this late?"

"First of all, she's asleep, Zane. Second, even if she would, she can never ever guess that I am attracted to a guy so we're safe."

"If you say so!" He said, still fidgeting and looking around.

"Daddy!!"

I nearly spit out my coffee after hearing Sofia call me. I was not expecting that at all. How did she even get down here? Did she go down alone? How did she even manage to use the elevator?

"Hey Princess!" I said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek and hugged me with her little arms, making Zane smile.

"Daddy, why are you still awake?" She said as she sat on my lap.

"Daddy is just talking to…a friend." I answered which made Sofia look at Zane in a curious manner.

"Hi sweetie!" Zane said as he waved his hand in a very friendly way. I can tell he adores Sofia a lot. It's kind of hard not to because of her sweet nature.

"Hi Zane!!" She waved her hand before hopping off me to transfer on Zane's lap. Zane was caught off guard by Sofia's warmth towards a stranger. Sofia then snuggled her head on Zane's shoulders before playing with the string of his jacket.

"Is she always this sweet?" He asked as he was shaking Sofia's hand playfully.

"Pretty much! Clingy & sweet, let's put it that way."

"What does clingy mean, daddy?" She asked.

"It means you easily attach yourself to people or you always want to be by their side emotionally and physically." Zane eloquently explained.

"Oh!" Sofia said as she nodded her again over and over again.

"Daddy, I want to swim!"

"This late, sweetie? Shouldn't you be in bed? It's way past your bedtime."

"But it's still my birthday!!" Sofia crossed her arms and pretended to be upset. I looked at Zane to see his reaction but he just shrugged. With that, I sighed and gave in to her wish. It's her birthday anyway. It's only this once.

"Alright! Let's get your swimsuit and don't tell this to your brothers, okay?"

"Yay!!"

(Zane POV)

I am sitting at the edge of the pool with my feet soaked underwater and babysitting Sofia at the same time. I was watching her swim along the shallow part of the pool while waiting for her dad.

After about 5 minutes, Orville finally came out of the men's room and was wearing nothing except for a swimming trunks. I couldn't help but check him out. His body is so gorgeous and I can tell he's working hard to be in good shape. His abs are literally the first thing you notice when he's shirtless.

All of a sudden, flashbacks of me having sex with him are now running through my mind and I tried my best to shake it off. I felt a bulge growing in my pants and I pulled my jacket down so I can cover it in a way wherein Orville won't see and won't know what I am hiding.

"Hey!" He said as he stood next to me.

"Aren't you going to swim?" He asked.

"No, I'm good, Orville." I smiled.

"Do you want me to take your shirt off for you?"

I looked up at him, jaw hung open, not knowing if he's serious or not. I stood up and pulled my feet off the water to walk away from him when I suddenly slipped and fell off the pool.

"Ah!!!"

I tried to swim back to the surface but I realized that I haven't learned how to swim yet so nothing was happening, despite my best efforts. On top of that, I fell in the deep part of the pool. Great!

Though I also noticed that I was floating involuntarily so I did manage to reach the surface but what I can't manage to do is to stay afloat. I was struggling to remain calm and to relax. I was panicking and I was fighting to breathe. I don't want to die just yet.

"Save him, daddy!!" Sofia screamed.

Before Orville can even grab me, I did not know that I already lost consciousness but in a strange unfathomable way, my mind can still decipher what my body is able to feel. I felt myself being lifted out and levitating before getting placed on the ground.

My mouth was forced open by two hands and suddenly, I felt something moist and plump get inserted against my mouth.

"Is he dead?" An innocent voice asked.

I then felt a huge pressure on my chest and some force being applied over it.

"1, 2, 3"

After the count, something moist and plump was inserted again on my lips and this time, I indulged the taste of it because it's something that I tasted before and it is sensational and supreme in every way. I can't put my finger on it but it gives me the feeling of being cared for, being cherished and being loved. Nothing can surpass this taste.

As it pulls away, I jolted awake and managed to spit out the water that got stuck in me and as my vision gets clearer, I saw no one other than Orville hovering over me.

"Are you okay?"

Relieve completely washed over me and I was celebrating on the inside that he was the one who saved me so without any beating around the bush, I grabbed him by the back of his head and kissed him tenderly. He then returned the kiss in the same passionate way and relished my lips. As we pulled away, we realized that Sofia is looking at us. She has her eyes narrowed at both of us as if she is trying to figure out what just happened.

"Daddy, do you like Zane?"
