chapter 5

Sean gave him a look and crossed his arms over his

chest, waiting. He had all day. Zane leaned back in his chair

and flipped a pen around in his fingers nervously.

“I hired a new girl as a favor to a friend of mine who owns

the same type of club in Reno. He called me and asked me

to take her on, but she had to have a job where she worked

alone and wasn’t around other people. She comes here

during the day when the club is closed to clean.”

Okay, that explained nothing, so he motioned for Zane to

continue. Letting out a deep sigh, Zane nodded and

continued.

“Raff, my friend in Reno, told me a bit about her which is

a big reason as to why I agreed to hire her. She worked for

him for four years after he took her in when he found her

living on the streets. She has severe anxiety and doesn’t

talk a lot. He told me not to ask her a bunch of questions

when she came, so I didn’t, but I found out yesterday that

she’s been living in her car.”

Sean sucked in a breath and felt his chest tighten at the

thought of a Little living on the streets. He hated that

anyone lived on the streets in general, but an innocent Little

was even worse.

“Why is she living in her car?” he asked.

Zane gave him a skeptical look.

“I just told you that Raff said not to ask her a bunch of

questions, so I didn’t. I just found out yesterday anyway, so I

haven’t exactly had a chance to question her.”

“How long has she been working here?”

“Almost a month.”

Jesus. Fuck.

“A month? She’s been living on the streets for a month?”

Sean burst out.

He wasn’t a violent man, but the thought of it pissed him

off. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Sean willed himself to

calm down and talk rationally to his friend. He couldn’t just

take in a stranger, right?

“Why don’t you set her up in a room here and help her

out until she can get a place of her own?” he asked.

“I thought about it, but she has severe anxiety. She will

hardly look me in the eye and barely speaks to me. Her

entire body trembles almost every time I say anything to

her. Living in a club that has dozens of people in it every

night would not be a good fit, even if she locked herself in a

room.”

Sean thought about it for a minute.

“How do you know she’s a Little if she barely speaks to

you?”

“Raff said he had a feeling she was a Little. He told me

she did a great job cleaning the club and that she would go

into the Littles’ area of his club frequently just to touch the

dolls or pick up a toy for a moment before putting it down

and going back to work. She does the same thing here.

Other signs tell me she’s a Little as well.”

He raised his eyebrow, “Such as?”

Zane shrugged. “Just a feeling.”

“Jesus, Zane. Even if she needs a place to go and is a

Little, with the amount of anxiety you say she has, what

makes you think she’ll just move in with a stranger? And

why don’t you move her in with you? You’re a Daddy.”

His friend was smiling at him, and Sean kind of wanted to

deck him. The man had obviously lost his freaking mind.

Even if Sean said yes, the woman wouldn’t just be willing to

live with some random stranger. Although, he had to admit

that he was intrigued.

“Honestly, I thought of you because I think she needs a

Daddy like you. I think she needs some gentleness, and you

know that’s not me. I can be too overbearing and

demanding. I think she would do better under your care. You

already have a full nursery set up, which I think would help

her feel safer. Besides, you know I’m a package deal with

Jace and I think she will be intimidated enough with one

Daddy.”
