Warnings: sexual content, daddy kink, barebacking, mildly dubious consent, mentions of the pandemic

Jake didn't need a lot of money. He lived alone in a small apartment, and he didn't even have any pets. He hadn't always been such a lone wolf, but after his best friend Sami had betrayed him, Jake had stopped trusting people, especially after Fulton also let him down. It was easier not to trust anybody because then no one could disappoint him.

He had thought that the pandemic wouldn't hit him so hard. But then Impact stopped booking and paying him for no reason. Maybe they were still mad about everything oVe had done to the company. They hadn't been able to ban them from the program because the Draw was too important for their ratings. But now Sami didn't protect them anymore. Jake wondered why they hadn't punished Fulton, though. It was probably because he was friends with Ace Austin, one of the biggest stars of the X-Division.

Jake didn't have friends anymore, and he wasn't close to his biological family. His real family had been oVe, and now he had no one.

He had never even gotten his revenge. When Sami turned on him, it was extremely painful. Jake felt so lost afterward, so sad and lonely. But he had never felt hate. For some reason he didn't want to get in the ring with Sami and kick his ass. It was weird.

That was what wrestlers did, wasn't it? They betrayed each other, and then they fought each other, and sometimes they later became friends again. Jake wondered if they could just skip the fighting part and become friends again without almost killing each other first. Was that what he wanted? He wasn't sure if he wanted to be friends with Sami again. What he really wanted was to be able to trust someone else again.

With the months passing by, Jake's savings were eaten up. A lot of indy shows had to be canceled, and he wasn't the only one looking for a job. In January 2021 he had reached the point where he didn't know how to pay his rent. Scrolling through his Twitter timeline in search of ideas, he read that Sami had re-signed with Impact – allegedly for big money.

After staring at his phone for ten minutes, Jake decided to call his former best friend. Sami would probably ignore him anyway, he thought. But he didn't. When he answered the phone, Jake's eyes widened, and his heart began to race. "Hey..." He tried to sound friendly. He was the one who wanted something from Sami. "Congrats on your new Impact contract."

"That's not why you're calling?" Sami's tone wasn't hostile but reserved.

Jake didn't blame him. Someone with as many enemies as Sami always had to be careful and prepared to be attacked or lured into a trap. Back in the days, it had been them versus everything, and now Sami was as alone as he was. So Jake decided to get straight to the point. "I need money. I know Revolver won't be running any shows soon, but I thought..." His voice trailed off.

"Yeah, I have a job for you," Sami said and then explained what he meant.

When he offered to become Jake's sugar daddy, it caught Jake off guard. He hadn't expected something like that – then again, maybe he had. Sami could be pretty sadistic sometimes. It was possible that he wanted to use the opportunity to humiliate Jake even further. Jake had hoped that after everything they had been through together, there would at least be some kind of sympathy for his desperate situation left in Sami. Perhaps there was, and Jake judged him too soon. So he decided to accept the offer for now and see what would happen. He could still leave if things got ugly.

A few days later, he temporarily moved to Sami's new house, which he had recently bought. When he arrived, Sami showed him around and explained everything to him. He let Jake have his own room and promised that he would always leave him alone there. The only thing Jake wasn't allowed to have there were sex toys. He hadn't packed any of those in his bags anyway. So he didn't have a problem with that rule.

"You probably think I'm a bad guy," Sami started. "And I may be ruthless in the ring. But there are certain lines I won't cross. I want you to know that I won't kick you out of the house or take anything away from you if you say 'no'. Our safeword is 'Ohio', okay? Use it if you need to."

Jake was a bit surprised about that. It made their arrangement seem more like a normal relationship than something he only did for the money. He nodded. "Okay..."

"Promise me. I don't ever want to force you to anything you don't want to do."

"Okay, I promise."

"Good."

Sami took him to his own bedroom and told him to undress. When Jake was standing completely nude in front of him, Sami let his eyes wander over his body. Of course, they had seen each other without clothes before, but he had never stared at Jake's dick like that – or at least Jake had never noticed it. He lowered his eyes and tried to cover himself with his hands. But he didn't have much time to think about it before Sami asked him to lay down on the bed. Jake expected to get fucked now, and that was okay for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to this whole thing. It was pretty clear to him what sugar daddy meant. If he was able to survive deathmatches, he could take a dick up his ass. It wouldn't be the first time for him, and sometimes he even liked it.

However, Sami grabbed something from the drawer of his nightstand and sat down on the bed. It took Jake a moment to realize that the shiny metallic thing in Sami's hand was a cock cage. He had never worn one before, and even though Sami tried to not make it anything special, Jake couldn't help trembling a bit when the other man's fingers touched his dick for the first time. Sami locked it in the cage and kept the only key in his pocket. "You belong to me now, and your dick belongs to me. I decide what you do with it."

Swallowing, Jake nodded slowly. The device was crafted from stainless steel and had an open, spiral design. He was still able to pee, take a shower and clean himself with his cock trapped in it. But it stopped him from getting an erection, and he couldn't masturbate either. Now he understood why he wasn't allowed to have sex toys in his room. He was completely at Sami's mercy if he wanted to have an orgasm.

After that, Sami didn't really touch him again – except for lots of cuddling, which they had already done before when they had still been friends. Sometimes, though, he made Jake wear a butt plug under his clothes and took the remote control for it. Then he turned it on while they were sitting at the table and had dinner or lying on the couch and watched TV. And because he was a sore loser, he also switched it on when they were playing video games against each other, and the vibrations in Jake's ass made it impossible for him to focus on the game.

It was always an uncomfortable feeling, especially since Sami never turned it on long enough for him to come. So it left him unsatisfied and longing for more.

"Who's your Daddy?" Sami asked one night when Jake was sitting on his lap.

"You are!" Jake answered with a big smile while he thought, This is stupid. Sami was younger than him, and he'd never even had a daddy kink. So why did it still feel so good to call him Daddy? Why did it make him feel safe? He looked at Sami. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Why do you want this?"

"I've always wanted you," Sami answered with an honest expression.

"Really?" Jake tilted his head, his eyes narrowed. "Then why did you never tell me? Why did you betray oVe and attack me?"

Because I thought you'd never love me back anyway. Because I couldn't take it anymore to be so close to you all the time without being able to give you more than kisses of friendship, Sami thought but didn't say out loud. Instead, he barked, "You're asking too many questions now. Why don't you use your mouth for something else instead?"

When he reached between them and unzipped his pants, Jake knew what he meant and got down on his knees in front of him. He didn't have a problem with sucking Sami's dick. He actually liked it. Sami tasted surprisingly good.

The thing Jake disliked was how horny it made him, even though he couldn't get hard because of the cock cage.

Soon he realized that Sami truly was a master of manipulation. Instead of asking Jake to sleep with him, he had only needed a few days to make him beg for it.

But Jake couldn't have cared less. All he wanted was that sweet, sweet release he craved so much.

"Please let me come," he begged one night after Sami had taken the butt plug away from him again and they were watching TV together.

Sami turned to him, raising an eyebrow. "Can I fuck you?"

"Yes, please!"

"Please what?"

Not caring about his dignity anymore, Jake got down on his knees. "Please fuck me, Daddy!"

With a smirk on his face, Sami stood up and they went to his bedroom.

Jake had always wondered if Sami was as brutal in bed as he was in the ring. But he wasn't. He was a gentle lover – or maybe this was just another mind game and he wanted Jake to beg him to fuck him harder. If that was the case, he had won. Jake was begging him again, begging him to fuck his brain out.

While Sami was inside him and made him feel so damn good, Jake realized something. He realized why he had never wanted to get his revenge and fight Sami in the ring. He also realized why he had really agreed to this and never said 'no' to anything. And he realized why he wanted Sami to fuck him. Sami made him feel safe and let him relax. With him, Jake was able to give himself up to the moment. He wasn't sure when exactly it had happened, but now he knew that he had fallen in love with Sami.

Even though he couldn't get hard or touch himself, Sami's thrusts against his prostate were enough to make him come and have a mind-blowing orgasm. A moment later, Sami followed him and shot his creamy load into Jake's ass.

While they lay together and recovered from the hot experience, Sami brushed his hand through Jake's hair. "I want you to be mine forever. I can't stand the thought of someone else touching you."

"I'm a wrestler. People touch me all the time," Jake mumbled while rubbing his tired eyes.

"You know what I mean."

"Yeah, don't worry. I'm all yours, Daddy," Jake confirmed and cuddled up closer to the other man. "I don't care about others."

"Will you marry me?"

"What?" Jake's eyes widened almost comically. "Are you serious?"

"I would never joke about something like that."

"Yes! Yes, I will!" Jake exclaimed with a huge smile. He had never thought that anyone would ever ask him this. But the fact that it was Sami, the man he had just realized he was in love with, made him happier than ever before in his life.

It was crazy. They had only been dating – or whatever it was they were doing – for a few days. But they had known each other for over 15 years. Sami believed that everything happened for a reason. Maybe everything that had happened in their lives so far had led to this one moment. Maybe it had always been meant to be like this. And maybe they would really stay together forever.
