Chapter 14

Maddy

The next day I woke bleary-eyed, with only about an hour to get ready for work. I found two texts from Colin. It surprised me because as a person who worked nights, and then spent extra time dating me after his shift, I figured he'd sleep in.

Colin: Would love to take you to lunch when you have your next day off.

His second text was even better.

Colin: I thought about you all night.

I couldn't believe my eyes. We'd only had two dates. I read the texts about ten times over trying to convince myself they were real and I wasn't dreaming. Then I checked the time of his texts. They came in at nine a.m. My hands shook as I prepared to text him back.

Maddy: I would love lunch. Tomorrow is my day off.

Colin: Pick you up at noon?

Maddy: But instead of lunch, can I see you tonight again?

Colin: I would love to, but I know you barely slept. Go home tonight, get a good night's sleep, and spend the day with me tomorrow. I have tonight and tomorrow night off.

Maddy: I want to spend all night with you. Tonight. I'm not tired.

I looked at the text before sending it. Was I being too forward? He had said he had tonight off. I decided as a daddy, he would let me know if it was too soon. That was his job. My job as the little was to ask for things and hopefully get them if daddy said so.

Colin: Baby boy, I would love that. I didn't want to move too fast for you. But I love the idea. I'll pick you up right after you get off work tonight. When do you get home?

Maddy: Around six-thirty.

Colin: Okay. I'll be there. Be ready. Bring an overnight bag.

Maddy: I can't wait.

The endorphins hit me straight in the heart. For a second, the room spun. Colin, the big bouncer, the guy who had not only rescued me from a flying metal car but seemed interested in every word I had to say, just said he'd love that I'd asked to spend the night with him. Now I could say it truthfully. Mr. Menacing wanted me.

It washard to concentrate at work. My skin was overly sensitive. I was either too hot or too cold. A restless shimmery warmth kept rising up like a fever from deep inside me.

I burned myself twice making fancy hot drinks.

I could still feel Colin's kiss on my lips, which I kept licking until they were nearly chapped.

I felt wild just thinking about doing any one of the daddy/little things we'd discussed on our last two dates, from bath time to having him dress and undress me.

I imagined his fingers would be all over me, touching as if by mistake while he removed my pants and shirt. But it wouldn't be a mistake. Not with Colin. He liked me a lot; I was convinced. He would want to touch me on every inch of skin he uncovered.

I couldn't wait for work to be over.

I was wound up tight as a kite string. When I got home, I grabbed my overnight bag. I hadn't had time to pack before work.

I stood in front of my dresser and open closet doors trying to figure out what to bring. Jammies? Stuffies to keep Kornie company? Definitely. And extra underwear. And jeans which were work clothes for me.

I had been in denial about my inner little for so long I hadn't gathered a lot of little boy things yet, but I did have something.

I stared at the pack of disposable adult diapers sitting in the shadows on the top shelf of my closet. They had never been opened. I'd bought them on a whim. I'd never had the nerve yet to experiment with them. Maybe Colin wouldn't be so hesitant. Maybe he would love to see me wearing them.

I snatched the bag of diapers off the top shelf and shoved it along with wet wipes into my backpack, which was now overly full of clothes, toy animals, toothbrush and toothpaste, and shaving kit. I couldn't zip it up.

Finally, I realized Kornie simply didn't fit inside. No problem. I could easily carry him. When I pulled him out I could finally zip it up. I was ready to go.

I kept checking my phone, impatient for time to go faster. I left a text for Dan. Finally, right at six-thirty, I looked out the window and saw the black BMW pull up.

I ran outside, my pack and Kornie flopping in my arms.

Colin got out with the car still running, came around to the passenger side and opened the door. I ran straight into him.

He opened his arms and wrapped them around me. He was like a strong force, a big immovable tree. He picked me up, pack and all, and swung me up until our faces were inches apart. Holding me in the air, he kissed me. My body immediately turned liquid and molten.

"That's my not-a-baby," he whispered into my ear.

I moaned in pleasure.

When he set me down, he took my pack and put it in the backseat. I got into the car and braced myself for a night to remember. I was ready to go now.

In the car, Colin reached out and brushed his fingers across my forehead. "No sign of a bump at all anymore."

"I'm fine. It was just a graze."

"I'm glad. Are you hungry?" Colin asked as he pulled away from the curb.

"Yes, please." I bounced on the seat, tossing Kornie up in the air and catching him. "I can't wait to see your place, but I am hungry, too."

"Let's go. I know just the place with great food."

Please.I wanted to beg. To plead. I thought I would explode if he didn't grab me and take me right now. I'd never felt this way for anyone.

"I see you brought Kornie."

"Oh. Um. Yeah?"

Colin smacked his forehead. "I forgot to invite him. I'm glad you thought to bring him. Let's just get this clear now. Every time I invite you anywhere, he's invited, too." He paused, frowning and looking very serious. "He is a he, isn't he?"

I gulped. "Yes."

This was amazing. And also a turn on for me. But if he was a daddy, then he accepted I had toys and would want me to have them with me sometimes.

"Are you nervous, Maddy?"

I shrugged.

"That's not a no. Tell me why."

I pinched my lips together as I thought. "Well, um, we're spending the night together. For the first time."

"Yes. I'm very happy about that. Are you?"

I nodded. "I've never had a daddy before. So I'm not sure what to expect. Or what you want. Tonight, I mean."

"I'm glad you told me. I can easily help with that."

"You can?"

"First, I want you to know you can ask me anything. Anything at all."

I already had so many questions. "I guess the first thing I'm wondering is if there are different kinds of daddies and what kind you are."

He snorted. "I think I am the sort of daddy that is needed for each particular individual. I don't mold boys. I let them grow into the things they want and love. I love all of it. What is your idea of a daddy?"

"The daddies I imagined or read about do different things for their boys. Like cook. And dress them. Give them baths. Even punishments. Like spankings. And sometimes make them wear diapers." I flushed at that last image of Colin maybe powdering my ass and wrapping me in a Huggee like what I'd packed.

"As I said, daddies and their boys work out what they want between them."

"Like making a list?"

"Yes. But I can tell you I like all of what you just said. You can request things, too."

I flushed even harder, sweat breaking out on my back. "I like all of that. But you should be able to request things, too."

He flashed me a grin. "I think we're going to get along just fine."

The restaurant he took me to for dinner was an upscale place. I left Kornie in the car because I still wasn't comfortable taking him just anywhere.

We had a private booth, juicy steaks, loaded baked potatoes, and Caesar salads. I was used to ramen, so this, like last night's appetizers, was quite a treat.

"Don't worry," Colin said. "I'm paying. If you don't mind, that's something I love to do as a daddy. I want to pay for my boys."

"Boys? As in plural?"

He rolled his eyes and hardened his mouth. "One at a time, not-a-baby. I don't share."

Another shiver of excitement shot through me.

Our conversation became more intimate as the afternoon grew late. We lingered at the restaurant. Colin never had any alcohol, though the waiter brought the drinks menu and asked twice. I didn't want any, but Colin said, "Usually, I don't drink. If you do, that needs to be something we discuss."

"No. Very rarely. Special occasions."

"Good. I allow wine for my boys on holidays if they want it. And I celebrate on holidays, too, with some drinking. But most of the time it's a hard no for me."

"I'm good with that."

He winked at me. "We're already getting along so well."

After what seemed like hours, Colin checked his phone and frowned.

I was instantly worried. I had not forgotten about his harasser.

"I've got to drop by work." He looked pained.

"But—but it's closed today."

"I know. But Trent is in town and he wants to see me. The meeting should be short."

"Can I come with you?"

"Do you want to?"

I nodded. "I want to be with you." What I really wanted to say was, Please don't leave me.

This had been such a fantastic afternoon. And tonight I was expecting much more. I wanted Colin so much I thought I might explode.

"I'll stay out of the way. I promise. I'll wait as long as it takes. I just want to be with you."

"You are the sweetest not-a-baby baby ever," he said.

It was as if I had just learned to breathe. And now I realized I liked it. I wanted to touch Colin and never stop. He made me feel comfortable with the whole person I was and the little (still a new word for me) inside I'd been denying to myself and everyone, afraid to fully show myself.

We left the restaurant and walked together out to his car. As we were walking, a man in a wrinkled trench coat was heading toward the building. He came toward us, which wasn't that odd for anyone whose goal was the front door. But he came a bit fast, and he didn't seem to see us.

Just as he got a few feet away and I thought he might run into us, Colin grabbed me and shoved me behind him.

"Hey! Watch out."

The man looked up just at that moment. "Oh, sorry. I'm preoccupied."

"Who are you?" Colin asked, teeth gritted.

"What?"

"Are you following us?"

"I've never seen you in my life. I'm sorry," the guy said. "I wasn't paying attention."

Colin said nothing as the man moved past us and went into the diner.

"Did you think he was coming after you?" I asked from behind him.

Colin turned. "I don't know. I'm jumpy because of the harasser. It may be what this meeting at the club is about."

I nodded and took his hand in mine. "It'll be okay, Daddy." I spoke softly.

"Thank you. You're a breath of fresh air, Maddy."

When we got to the club, Colin parked on the curb just outside one of the side exits. I unbuckled my seatbelt. Colin leaned toward me.

"Maddy, before we go in, may I kiss you?"

I thought he'd never ask. We'd only shared two kisses, both brief.

"Yes, please." I turned toward him and tilted my face up, feeling like a golden light had just spilled all over me. All that was missing was the romance movie soundtrack.

Colin put his fingers under my chin, cupping softly. When his lips brushed mine, it was as if sparks ignited all over my body. He was so warm and plush, his lips moving slightly, opening to tease me. I wondered if I should open my mouth. I wondered what he would taste like.

As that erotic thought shot straight to my groin, Colin pulled back. I didn't want to let him go. It would feel too cold not to have his mouth on mine.

I blinked fast.

He tickled my chin. "You're too wonderful."

My heart skipped. "I am?"

He kissed my forehead and sat back. "Yes. You are."
