chapter 4

It never worked. Once they changed, Finn knew what they were like. He

hated judging people, but he also didn’t want to waste his time. He was

getting older, and all he wanted to do was settle down with his little girl and

live his life.

Finn was also a very busy man, as he worked long hours for the club.

All of his friends and co-owners wanted him to take more time off and try

to find a little. They could see how stressed he was.

Finn scoffed at that several times. None of the other owners had littles

of their own. They were all searching for a little to cherish. Finn thought

that they needed to focus on finding their own and not worrying about him

and his life.

He thought back to the little girl that was downstairs. She was different.

He didn’t know how, maybe how she acted, but she was different.

And Finn was intrigued.

He watched the little move over to the coloring corner and pick out a

book and markers. She was absolutely precious, lying on her stomach, her

legs kicking every once in a while.

The woman she came with walked over and placed a sippy cup and

some crackers beside her.

Who was this woman?

Was she the little’s Mommy?

Finn watched the lady as she went back to her seat. She watched the

little girl for a bit before her eyes started to wander. She was looking over at

two boys who were playing with the toy cars together. Finn could see a

longing in her eyes because he too felt like that.

They both just wanted someone to cherish.

Realization hit Finn. The lady wasn’t the girl’s Mommy. She was

probably a friend who brought her here.

A smile tugged on his face. If the little girl had a Daddy, he would have

come with her.

Finn was going to try his luck and talk to her. The worst she could say

was that she already had a Daddy and that he wasn’t there. He felt a pull to

her, and he didn’t want to ignore it.

This was the first time in years he felt a pull toward someone, and he

wasn’t about to let it go down the drain.

Finn’s friend, Mac, and also one of the other owners walked up next to

him.

“You’ve been staring at her for a while. Going to go talk to her?” Mac

asked. “If you don’t, I think I might. She’s super cute with her feet moving

back and forth as she colors. I don’t think she’ll mind me coming and

talking to her.”

Finn growled and looked over at Mac. “Back off.”

Mac laughed and patted his shoulder. Finn knew right then and there

that Mac was playing with him and wanted to get a reaction. He should

have known better than to fall into that trap.

He was normally good at seeing right through Mac and his games, but

this time he didn’t. He was too engrossed as he watched the little color that

he didn’t look at all the cues he was giving him, and Mac knew.

“Well, go talk to her. Who knows, by the time you get down there, she

could be gone,” Mac said and walked away.

Finn stood up from his chair and made his way toward the front door.

His office, well, the lounge area that everyone sat in while people played

was on the second floor and looked over the whole club. It was a huge

room.

“Where are you going?” Marco asked right before Finn could exit the

room.

Marco was another one of the other owners who liked to hang around

people. He didn’t have to be doing anything, but he preferred not to be alone. Maybe that’s why Finn and Marco got along so well. They were both

lonely and just wanted to be around people.

“Downstairs,” Finn replied and walked out of the room.

He didn’t want to explain to his friends and co-owners what he was

going to do. He knew that they would be looking out the window and

watching him. Finn rarely went downstairs when the club was open. He

didn’t want people coming up to him and trying to be his friend.

Most people at the club only wanted to be his friend so they could ask

for discounts. Well, it was mostly girls that did. There was the occasional

male sub that would ask, but that was rare.

Finn quickly made his way down the stairs and toward the little room.

He didn’t want to take a long time and find out the little girl left. That

would make Finn sad and feel like he missed out on something.

He opened the door and looked over at the coloring corner. His whole

body relaxed at the sight of the little girl still coloring. He hadn’t missed

her.
