2. Lee Meets His Little

Chapter two

Lee Meets His Little

Danny was so cute. He made me want to hang out at Afterglow longer. But I couldn’t. I needed to put in extra time at work the next morning. I had to travel to the client’s site next week, and I needed to be ready. But damn, that boy was adorable.

Reluctantly, I flung my Member’s Only jacket over my shoulder and pressed down my skinny tie. I had fished them out for this night. Dressing up for 80s night was always a blast. But I’d been here too long. I headed out to my car, hoping Danny would call me. He was so shy, but that could have been his Little and not his normal everyday persona. And he did yell at the end. Which I found adorable. His friend seemed to be looking out for him, though. So maybe he’d goad Danny into calling.

It was rare to see new faces at Afterglow. So when I passed the Little Room. I was very surprised. And surprised he didn’t have a swarm of daddies around him begging for his time.

But now, home. I needed a shower and my bed.

Before I got home, an unknown number came up on my phone. I didn’t normally answer those, but it might be Danny, so I made an exception. Most likely, at this hour, it had to be Danny. Right? “Hello.”

“Uh, hello. Is this Lee? This is Skyler.”

“Yes, it’s Lee.”

“Good. Here’s Danny.”

I heard a tentative squeak and then, “Hello? Daddy Lee?” Good job, Skyler.

“Hi, Danny. What are you doing?”

“We just cleaned up our dinos cuz Sky said its time to go home. So we got our phones back from the Letter Daddy. But Sky said I should call you before we left, but I was scareded. So he helpeded me. What are you doing?” I couldn’t believe he said that all in one breath.

“You are so cute. I’m on my way home. I have to work tomorrow.”

“I liked your tie and your shoes.”

I’d been wearing my checkered Vans. “I liked your suspenders. Very cute.”

“Tank you. I don’t work tomorrow. It’s weekend. I want to play. Can you come over and play? I have a dragon stuffie. And you could read me a book.”

“Oh, sweet boy, I’d love to, but I can’t. I do have to work. And I’m going out of town next week for work too. But I’ll call you when I get back, and we can have playtime and dinner. How’s that sound?”

“Woot!” His voice was loud over the speaker, but I loved the enthusiasm and how he came out of his shell. But on the phone was different than in person. I couldn’t wait to see how that went. “I think you’re the cutest daddy, like ever. I hope you call me. This is my phone. Sky tooked it from me to call you.”

I chuckled. “Looks like I owe Skyler for that.”

“Funny. Funny, Sky. Stop laughing.” That last was said as a whisper to the side, so I knew he was talking to Skyler.

“Okay, get home safe, Danny. I’ll talk to you next week.”

“Okay, Daddy.” That phrase made my heart soar. And pound hard enough to send all the blood in my body straight to my dick. Wow. I had a very compelling reaction to this boy. I had to make him mine.

The week away sucked. But I had bills to pay, like my membership to Afterglow. That was important. I only had a tiny one-room apartment because of that bill, but it was totally worth it. But as I drove to the restaurant to meet Danny, I couldn’t help thinking about logistics. If he wanted to play after our meal, we would have to go to his place or Afterglow. That wouldn’t be so bad, but privacy would be better.

I parked and went in, giving my name at the hostess station. Danny wasn’t there yet. I hated waiting. It seemed like an hour later, but it had only been five minutes when Danny finally showed up. I stood and pulled his chair out for him, making him blush. I didn’t think I’d ever get tired of that.

It wasn’t a super fancy restaurant, but nicer than the normal chain. We ordered our drinks and looked at the menu. “What looks good to you, Danny?”

“Um…”

“There’s plenty of pasta or salads…” He blew out a loud breath. That wasn’t good. “You can order whatever you want, Danny. My treat.”

“C-Can I order off the kids’ menu?” He flipped the leather book over.

“Of course. Oh…” They didn’t have a kids’ menu. “I think I chose the wrong place, but you can get a pizza.”

“I like pizza but,” Danny leaned in and whispered, “this is super fancy. I’m not used to it.”

“Do you want to go somewhere else?”

He put a finger to his chin and looked up in a very dramatic thinking about it pose. “Noo…I’m sure it’s good. But.”

“But?”

He whispered again. “Can Daddy order for me?”

My heart thudded harder in my weakened chest. He pushed all my buttons. “Well, let’s see. Do you have any food allergies?”

Danny shook his head, but it was the lip bite that had my dick taking notice. He was going to kill me.

I adjusted myself a bit. “Okay. Let’s get meatballs for the appetizer. You like meatballs?”

“Yes.” He nodded furiously.

“And a cheese pizza?” The Margarita would fit for that.

“They don’t have pepperonis?”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“Okay. Cheese, please.” He was trying hard not to dip full-on into being little, and it was cute.

“Next time, we’ll go somewhere with a kids’ menu. Okay?”

His eyes widened. “You already said next time. You like me?”

“So far. I like you a lot.”

He smiled ear to ear. “I like you a lot too.”

The server came by and took our order. With that part over, it was time to get to know him. “Danny?”

“Yes?” I could tell daddy was on the tip of his tongue, and my ego soared, even though he didn’t actually say it. He had before, so he was probably holding back in public.

“Let’s get to know each other better. What do you do for a living?”

“I’m a lawyer with an awesome firm in Tampa. It’s LGBTQ-friendly. The owner is gay and has a boyfriend.”

That was a surprise. “Somehow, I don’t see you in a courtroom.”

“I deal with contracts and business law mostly. I’m pretty good too.” With those big eyes, he could probably negotiate a win every time.

“I believe it.” I took a sip of my wine.

“What about you?”

“I work at a consulting firm. I’m already leading teams and helping other companies solve problems. In fact, I’m up for a promotion.”

“Wow. I know you’ll get it.”

“I hope so.” It was my turn to lean closer, and although I didn’t whisper, I did lower my voice. “My membership to Afterglow is expensive.”

“I can only imagine.”

“You’re not a member?”

He shook his head, and his golden-brown bangs slid over his shiny green eyes. He wasn’t dressed in anything I’d call Little—slacks and a button-up. But his hair looked young, not fashionable at all. But if he used product, he could sweep the top back, and it would look more modern. I liked it as it was and wanted to dig my hands into it. “You could probably afford it. Lawyers make good money.”

He shrugged his shoulder. “Junior lawyer. And I have a nice apartment with two bedrooms.”

I mouthed playroom . He nodded.

“It’s cheaper than a membership. But I don’t have any friends to play with. So it was fun the other night. I had a special pass.”

“Okay. After dinner, we can go see it, or we can go to the club. If you want.”

Danny wiggled in his chair. “That sounds like fun. I want to go to the club. I can see my room any time.”

“Club it is.” It would be a treat for him, and I would thoroughly enjoy giving it to him.

After dinner—which was very good, thank you—we skipped dessert and headed to the parking lot, eager to get over to Afterglow. But once we were outside, Danny tugged my sleeve. “Daddy. I can’t play in my dressy pants. I need to go home and change first. Can I meet you there in like thirty minutes?”

I dropped a kiss on his forehead. “Of course, sweetie. I’ll see you there.”

“Yay!” He threw a hand in the air as he cheered, then skipped, unashamed, to his car. He waved as he drove off.

I needed way more of Danny in my life.

At the club, I filled out paperwork. Well, it was one sheet of paper. To get Danny a pass. Then I waited at the bar, but I only drank water. I wondered how I’d become so impatient, checking my phone every four or five seconds. I couldn’t wait to see him again.

Finally, he showed up and came bounding over. “You left my name at the door. It was like they knew me!”

“Good. Want a drink or play?”

“Pway!” he yelled over the music that had started up. So I grabbed his hand and headed across the dance floor toward the doors to the back. I had to show my ID and the pass they gave me for Danny. We turned in our phones and completed the breath tests. Standard entry to No Limits . Then, we headed down the hall.

Danny was speed walking. “Walk, Danny. It’s not going anywhere.”

He turned around and gave me the cheesiest grin I had ever seen. Then he turned back and took gigantic steps as far as his legs could reach. But it was slow. His antics made me laugh.

Finally, we went into the playroom. Danny bounced on his feet, looking around like he couldn’t decide what to do. There was only one other Little in the room, playing by herself in the far corner. “Danny, why don’t you go see if she wants to play.”

“But she’s playing dolls. I don’t like dolls.” He pouted. I wanted to kiss that bottom lip that stuck so far out he might trip on it.

“Ask her if she’d like to do something else. But be nice.”

“Yes, Daddy.” He skipped across the room while I made my way over to the chairs against the far wall.

Danny took the girl’s hand and walked over to the coloring table. They went through books and found a couple, then started coloring. He was so sweet. I was going to need an extra dentist appointment when I finally ate him up.

After coloring for a while, Danny ran over to me and flung the book in my lap. “Daddy! Look. I colored dis for you. Look.”

“It’s nice.” It was a picture of a knight and a dragon, mostly colored inside the lines.

“This is me.” He pointed to the dragon. “And this is you.” He pointed to the knight wearing purple armor.

“Why this picture?”

“I love dragons. I’m going to be a dragon when I grow up, and I need a knight to love and take care of me.”

I hugged him tightly. No dragon slaying for this knight. “I want to keep this. Let me get it out.” I carefully worked the page back and forth until I could tear it out without ripping it. “Thank you.”

“I hope you can be my daddy-knight. I like you lots.”

“Me too. Let’s make another date.”

“Yay!” Danny threw that hand in the air again. Then he started singing a made-up song as he went back to help the girl pick up the crayons. I was already convinced that I needed to be his daddy. That boy made my heart soar.
