His Little Boy

"I think... I think I was so in love with the idea of saving myself that I didn't realize I was letting myself drown. " "And now?" "And now you're my lifeboat." It was only meant to be a favour. Only meant to be for a few weeks. Yet when Stryker Odello finds himself a Daddy for a scarred little boy, he finds the darkness that swamped his life cracking and splits of light shining through. High functioning alcoholic at best, meeting the needs of the little proved more challenging than he first anticipated. Broken and distrustful, getting through to Jamie Sinclair was a hard feat. Both damaged from the past, hurt and cautious, could they learn to let go and figure out how to love again? Or was life's only joy to direct a tragedy?

Jaime buried his face into the crease of Stryker's neck. It made grabbing the changing bag from the car harder than it should have been. On afterthought, he grabbed the panda. Jamie had refused to exchange it for one of the newer toys that he had bought him, clutching the tattered old thing to his chest and shaking his head no when Stryker had given him the option.

/"Your kid has a real set of lungs on him,/" was Maddy's greeting as he opened the door after Stryker knocked it twice.

/"Yeah,/" Stryker said dryly. /"Glad you heard. Thanks so much for all your help, pal./"

Maddy shrugged. Mild humour turned his lips and his eyes gleamed with silent delight. /"Why would I? Watching you struggle was funny. Watching you turn from asshole to Daddy in three seconds flat was even funnier. Besides, I've already won one bet. Helping you won't help me win the other one./"

/"If my hands weren't full, I'd punch you./"
