21. Haylee

"Hey, can I come in?" Ally asked through the closed bedroom door.

"Yep!"

Ally walked in, and Haylee felt instantly happy. She had missed her best friend. She missed all their girls' nights, gossip talk, and having someone who just loved her for herself. Ally had always been that friend, and Haylee knew coming across someone like that in a lifetime was incredible luck. She was also dying to talk to Ally about Kane. She hadn't wanted to say too much over text since she was using one of Kane's phones. Who knew if he was tracking it or something. He seemed like he would do something like that. Which kind of turned her on. Yeah, she was fucked-up in the head.

"How are you?" Ally asked.

She looked nervous as she stood at the side of the bed, staring at Haylee. Her bruises had started to fade, and her cuts were healing, but there was still evidence of the abuse she'd endured.

"I'm good. Sit down. I'm not broken, so don't even look at me like that," she answered playfully.

Ally smiled and sat on the bed, sitting cross-legged, facing Haylee.

"I know you're not broken. I just don't want to accidentally hurt you."

"You won't. I promise. I'm okay. I'm a little bit tired today, but Logan said that would happen while I'm healing. I'm also having trouble sleeping through the night, so I think that is also why I'm so tired."

"Oh! I brought you some coloring books and colored pencils and crayons. I figured since you're in bed so much, it would give you something to do."

Ally pulled a stack of coloring books out of the bag she'd brought in with her, along with a huge package of colored pencils and another of crayons. She seemed genuinely excited about the coloring stuff, and Haylee couldn't help but feel excited about them as well. She loved coloring. It was so calming and fun. The girls spread out the books on the bed, each picking one. Haylee chose one with animals on the cover, and Ally chose one with princesses. They both took their time selecting a page to color. Of course, Haylee found a picture of an alligator and chose that one. They began coloring as though they'd done it together a million times, even though it was the first time.

"Did you know that Kane is a Daddy Dom?" Haylee asked casually, not looking up from her coloring page.

She heard Ally take in a deep breath, which made her look up at her friend. Ally was blushing and almost looked shy, but something in her face told Haylee her answer.

"Umm… yes, I knew that. Luke is too."

It was Haylee's turn to suck in a deep breath and blush.

"What! You have a Daddy Dom for a boyfriend, and you didn't tell me?"

Ally giggled and nodded.

"Sorry. I wasn't exactly hiding it, but we haven't really talked in depth in a while."

A pang of guilt washed over Haylee, knowing she hadn't been a very good friend lately. She hadn't been keeping in touch with Ally very often except for over texts, and she could tell by the sound in her voice that it had made her sad.

"I'm really sorry, Ally. It wasn't that I didn't want to stay in touch. I was just…"

Ally reached out her hand, gently touching hers, "I know. It's okay. I just missed you so much. I'm glad you're here and safe, and we get to hang out again! Also, how did you find out that Kane is a Daddy?"

"Uh, he told me. I probably should have realized it, considering how he's so caring… and so bossy. He is just like so many of the Daddies we've read about. Except super intimidating," she giggled.

His intimidating side was actually one of her favorite things about him. Especially since that side seemed to soften anytime she touched him or got near him.

"Wait, so are you and Luke in like a whole dynamic and everything? Like the ones we've read about?"

The pure pleasure that came across Ally's face made Haylee tingle inside. Her friend was truly happy.

"Yep. We are, and let me tell you, it is way hotter than any book we ever read."

Questions swirled in her mind, wanting to know everything but that would need to happen on another day. She needed to talk to Ally about Kane. But she had to ask.

"So, does he… uh… spank you?" she asked nervously.

Spanking had always been something that had turned Haylee on in those books, but she'd never experienced one. The closest she'd gotten to a spanking was a slap on the ass during sex with Tim, which had been pretty lame.

"Yes. He does. Both sexy spankings and punishment spankings."

Ally was blushing terribly but smiled as she talked.

"Do the punishment spankings scare you?"

She couldn't help but ask. She knew that there was a huge difference between abuse and being spanked. She had read enough books and read enough blogs about the subject. The thought of being in trouble and having to go over a man's knee did things to her that she would never confess to anyone. Not even Ally.

"Scare me? No, I wouldn't say that. I get nervous before it happens, of course, because I know it will hurt, but it's a good hurt afterward. Luke would never actually harm me. I feel one hundred percent safe with him to give me what I need. And honestly, usually, after a punishment spanking, I feel so much better. It's hard to explain. It's like, euphoric or something."

Haylee thought about that for a minute. She couldn't believe Luke was a Daddy. Well, actually, she could see that. Just as the thought of Kane being a Daddy made sense. She'd had thoughts of Kane being her Daddy multiple times since he'd confessed what he was, and the thought always had her clenching her thighs together.

"Can I show you something?" Haylee asked.

Ally nodded, intrigued by the question, and sat up on her knees on the mattress. Haylee got up and pulled the pink pull-ups from the dresser's top drawer. Ally's eyes went as big as saucers, and Haylee wasn't sure if her friend would be able to handle this.

"I had an accident in my sleep the other night during a nightmare, which is why Kane moved me into this room. Last night before I took a bath, he brought me these and told me I might find comfort in wearing them to bed. I kind of got freaked-out, and he assured me that he didn't expect me to wear them, and he just wanted to offer whatever he could to make me feel safer and more comfortable."

"And what did you say?" Ally asked curiously.

"I didn't really say anything. I didn't know what to say. He told me it was my choice and just left them with me."

"Did you wear one?"

Haylee shook her head. "No. I thought about it briefly, but I don't know if it's something I would enjoy. They are really cute and soft, but… I don't know. Would it be weird if I did? That would be weird, right?"

Ally seemed more quiet than normal, as though trying to think about her response. She didn't think her friend would judge her, but adult women wanting to wear pull-ups wasn't exactly the most common thing.

"If I tell you something, do you promise not to judge me or stop being my friend?" Ally asked after a long silence.

"Of course. You know I wouldn't judge you for anything, and you'll always be my friend. You are stuck with me."

"Luke is my Daddy, and he puts me in diapers," she admitted, blushing profusely.

Haylee felt her breathing stop as she digested the information. Ally wore diapers? Was it something she liked, or did Luke force it on her? Was it humiliating? She had so many questions.

"Are you going to say something, or are you going to stare at me like I'm an alien?" Ally asked nervously.

"Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just soaking it in. Do you like wearing them? Does he force you? Is it weird? Wait, do you use them?"

Ally laughed. "Wow, okay. One question at a time. Yes, I like wearing them. A lot, actually. He does force me to wear them, however, that is something I agreed to when we decided on the dynamic. I like that he forces me. It was weird at first, but not anymore, and yes, I do use them."

Huh.

"How often do you wear them?"

"Almost all the time," she answered as she twirled her hair around her finger.

"Soooo… you don't think it would be weird if I decided I wanted to wear a pull-up?"

Ally laughed. "No, silly. It wouldn't be weird at all. Actually, I really like these… I need to ask Daddy… I mean Luke to get me some like this. The ones I have are white with bunnies on them."

Daddy.Why did hearing her call him Daddy affect her so much? It came out of her mouth so naturally and with such love. Haylee had fantasized about calling someone Daddy after reading books about it, but knowing that Ally had that in real life and that Kane was also a Daddy Dom made her wonder what a relationship would be like.

"I think Kane really likes you. He seems protective of you, and when I saw him with you the other day, it was like he naturally wanted to take care of you. It was really sweet. Maybe you should give it a chance. If I hadn't given it a chance, I would have missed out on the most amazing thing in the world."

Yeah, but Kane hadn't offered to be anything to her, and she couldn't just come out and ask him to be her Daddy. Right? That would sound desperate, and like he would really want to deal with a headcase like her. She was still recovering from Tim, and he was still on the loose. Kane didn't need or want that kind of drama.

"Are you wearing a diaper right now?" Haylee asked curiously.

Ally nodded. "I'm wearing a pull-up. Wanna see?"

She nodded her head before she could think it over. She did want to see it. Maybe it would make her feel less weird about the thought of wearing one herself, even though she didn't think she would actually wear one any time soon.

Ally lay down on the bed and pulled the front of her dress up, showing off her white pull-up with bunnies printed all over it. Haylee stood next to the bed, staring at it in wonder.

"It's so cute!" she said excitedly.

A deep sound of a throat clearing made Haylee startle, and Ally squealed as she pulled down her dress as fast as she could. Haylee whirled around to find Luke and Kane standing in the doorway with amused expressions.

"What are you two Little girls doing?" Luke asked.

"Oh… uh… nothing much. We were just coloring," Ally answered, her voice unusually high.

Luke crossed his arms over his chest. "Really? Because it looked to me like you were showing off your pull-up to Miss Haylee."

Haylee's cheeks burned as her eyes met Kane's. His dark eyes studied her, causing a shiver to run down her spine.

"I was showing her the cute bunnies, Daddy," Ally answered, sounding very childlike.

"Oh, you were, huh? And Little Miss Haylee, what did you think about the bunnies?" Luke asked.

Uh-oh. Shoot.

Lowering her eyes to the carpet, she was sure her cheeks must have been bright red, "I thought they were really cute."

Now her voice sounded almost childlike. And why did she like the way she sounded?

"Ahh. I see. Well, I came up to tell Ally that it's time to go home. But maybe she can come over for another coloring date again tomorrow or the next day."

Ally stuck her lip out in a pout but stood from the bed and went to Luke, who was holding out his hand for her. He kissed the top of her head and smiled adoringly at her. Haylee noticed her cheeks were also bright red while both men seemed to be utterly amused.
