His Seduction

Chapter 75.

"Are you sure you'll be alright?"
Nikolai knew he was being annoying, but the thought of Riley meeting with that despicable man had him worried for his safety. Especially since he wouldn't be there.

"Daddy, he's my father. He won't hurt me, I promise"
Riley clasped the back of his gold hoop earring before putting in the other.

"How are you so sure? That man hasn't exactly been a Saint"

"I thought so too, but after listening to Samuel's story I understand him now. At first I thought my father was just homophobic, but it's all making sense to me. In the beginning he wasn't like this, he tried to understand and accept who I was. But after I came back and actually started dating it's like he's reliving his childhood.

In his mind all he can see is that my sexuality is causing a rift in the family, just like his father's sexuality did back then. My dad, isn't mad, he's scared and that's because he doesn't know the full story. I have to at least give him a chance to make things right"

"I know, but that doesn't mean he'll accept this, he might not even believe it"

"I have to try"
The younger sighed before smoothing out the invisible wrinkles on his plaid skirt, he checked the mirror once more at his outfit then went to look for his shoes.

Finding the chunky off white sneakers he sat on the edge of the bed to put them on.

Nikolai took the sock from Riley's hand then got on his knees before his little.

With warm eyes, Riley looked down at the large man who had already started putting his shoes on.

The older tied the laces tightly before moving on to the next. Afterwards he stood and pulled the blonde to his feet as well.

"You look gorgeous"

"Thank you"
Riley blushed looking down at the space between them.

"Would you like to go out to dinner with me afterwards?"

"I would love to"
He smiled before getting on his toes and giving Nik a peck on his lips.

"Come, I'll drop you off"

Grabbing his purse Riley allowed himself to be lead hand in hand out the door.

The silence stretched between them and having lasted over 30 minutes Riley was finally too anxious to maintain it.

"Dad"

"Do not- don't call me that"

"But I'm your son"
The younger scoffed softly glancing down at his hands that were rubbing furiously against each other. He had almost gotten rid of this terrible habit.

"Are you? I mean- Look at you, for God's sake you have on a dress, and your face is covered in makeup. As a father how am I supposed to understand this?"

"You don't have to understand it, I never asked you to! All I needed was your support, all I needed was for you to love me, regardless of what I wore and who I liked. I wanted you to love me solely because I am your child. I've never hurt anyone and how I dress and my sexual orientation should not change the way you see me!"
He exclaimed, luckily it was quiet enough not to alert the other diners and they sat a good distance away from others.

"Well it does. You don't know what I've been through, how people like you destroyed my family"

"If you're talking about Nana then I know exactly what you've been through"
Riley sighed meeting his father's eyes for the first time since they had met up.
