chapter 4

Sean shrugged, “As good as can be expected, I guess.

You?”

He really didn’t need to ask Ian to know the answer. The

man was practically beaming with pride as he watched his

little girl play.

Before Ian could answer, one of the club owners, Zane,

walked in and nodded toward the two men. They were all

friends, and Zane was also a Daddy. He often checked up on

the Littles’ area to ensure every Little in there was having a

good time. Sean had no idea why the man was still single,

but he also didn’t know why he was still single himself, so

his guess was as good as any.

“Hey, guys. How’s it going in here?” Zane asked.

Ian nodded, “Good. Maddie is over there having the time

of her life making a mess with glitter and paint.”

Sean and Zane looked over at the petite girl and grinned.

She was a total mess, as was the other Little she was

crafting with.

“Hey, Sean, can you stop by tomorrow around noon? I

have some business I need to… discuss with you,” Zane

asked.

He studied Zane for a moment before nodding his head. It

wasn’t unusual that Zane would ask to meet with him since

Sean was his business attorney, but the way he said it and

the look on his face seemed strange.

“Sure.”

Zane shook his hand and left the Littles’ area. Sean

looked over at the messy glittery girls and winced.

“Yeah, good luck with that, buddy. Your car is going to be

glitterfied for months after driving her home tonight.”

Ian groaned, but Sean could see the smile on his face as

he walked over to Maddie and tried to dust the glitter off of

her hands and clothes. Even though he wasn’t playing with

any Littles, it still felt good to be around them. Their

innocent energy made him smile, and he loved watching them play and giggle freely knowing they were in a safe

space.

A few minutes after Ian ushered out his glittery wife, Sean

left the club as well. None of the Littles he was familiar with

were there, and he wasn’t in the mood for trying to meet

someone new right then.

The following day, Sean worked from home. That was one

of the luxuries of his job. He had an office in downtown

Seattle, but he worked from his home office most of the

time unless he needed to meet with clients. He spent most

of the morning on calls with people who needed his advice

on which route to go with their business.

Around eleven-thirty, Sean grabbed his laptop and jacket

and left his house to head to The Playground, wondering if

Zane wanted to talk to him about opening another club. He

had talked about expanding in the past, but because of the

nature of the club, there were laws and limitations to where

he could have that kind of establishment.

Almost as soon as he pushed the button outside the door

to alert Zane of his arrival, the door opened, and Zane

ushered him into the building.

“Thanks for coming. I hope you didn’t have to reschedule

anything on my behalf.”

Sean followed him to his office and sat down in the chair

across from where Zane sat at his desk.

“No problem. I didn’t have anything scheduled today. So,

what’s up?”

The expression on Zane’s face made Sean feel a bit

uneasy. The man was up to something, and he was about to

find out what it was. But he was nowhere close to ready for

the bomb that Zane dropped in front of him.

“I have a Little that I want you to move into your house.”

He thanked his lucky stars that he didn’t have a tie on

because his air was already constricted enough as he

processed what Zane said.

“What… what are you talking about?”

This guy has lost it.

“It’s a long story,” Zane said.
