15. Damian

Having sex with Carly was heaven. She was made for him, and she responded like no one he’d ever met before. After they’d come down from their orgasms, Damian carried his sleepy girl to the bath, filled the tub with bubbles and toys, and then climbed in with her. With his arms wrapped around her, he soaked in the feeling of her relaxing against his body while she made her mermaid Barbies dive in and out of the water. He let her play until the water started getting cold and their skin had become wrinkly.

Standing up behind her, Damian stepped out of the tub and wrapped a towel around his waist, grinning down at Carly, who stopped playing to watch him with lust-filled eyes. Grabbing another fluffy towel, he reached down and pulled the drain before helping her stand and step out onto the bathmat. As he wrapped her up, he brushed his lips against hers before giving her several small kisses.

“You’re beautiful, baby doll. Thank you for that special gift.”

Carly blushed and nodded, wrapping her arms around his waist.

“Can we do it again?” she asked.

Damian burst out laughing before he swooped her up, carried her into the bedroom, and tossed her on the bed, causing her towel to fly open.

“Oh, baby girl, we can do it again and again and again,” he growled.

The following day while Carly was in the guest bedroom filming a makeup tutorial for YouTube, Damian went downstairs to his office to call his friend Sean, a Daddy who was also his business attorney.

“Hey, Sean, I need some advice.”

“Sure thing. What can I help with?”

“I’m protecting someone who is being harassed on social media by another person. The person I’m protecting is a well-known makeup artist who works with celebrities and has a ton of followers, and the person harassing her is a batshit crazy model. Is there anything we can do to put a stop to the model talking badly about my client to the press and fans?”

Sean sighed, “Unfortunately, it’s not just black and white. The first amendment allows someone to speak about anything they wish. However, if the person is making false claims or saying things that are ruining your client’s reputation or career, she could consider a defamation lawsuit. It depends on the context of it all and how it’s affecting your client. We could always start with a cease-and-desist letter to the model warning of potential legal action if she continues to speak out falsely about your client.”

Damian thought about that and wondered if Carly would want to pursue any of those options.

“Do the cease-and-desist letters work?”

“It just depends. Some people don’t care about legal action. If the model is as batshit as you say, it might make her fly off the handle even worse, but at least you could say you tried to take the gentle route first.”

What Sean had said made sense, and maybe he should suggest it to Carly.

“Thanks, man. How are you doing?” Damian asked.

“Good. I’ve just been working a lot. I haven’t seen you at The Playground in a while.”

“My client is currently living with me. I owe her brother a favor, and I got roped into being her full-time bodyguard, so she’s with me all the time. She’s a Little, and currently, I’m her Daddy.”

Sean snorted, “You involved yourself with a client? So you’re telling me that I need to be prepared for a lawsuit against your company?”

Damian chuckled, “Nah. I’m sure it will be fine.”

“Whatever you say, my friend. Whatever you say.”

“Hey, do you think Gabby would be interested in a playdate?”

Gabby was Sean’s Little, and she was one of the sweetest women Damian had ever met. Gabby had come from a rough background, and the first time she had seen Damian, she had been terrified of him. Somehow, he wiggled his way into her heart, and now she was one of his favorite Littles to be around.

“Of course she would. She wants more Little friends.”

He nodded, “Let’s have a BBQ at my place this weekend. I’ll invite Ian and Maddie and Keith and Lainey too. Keith is protecting Lainey right now until we get this all figured out.”

“Sounds great. Let me know what you want us to bring.”

“What if I don’t fit in?” Carly asked nervously.

Damian stood at the kitchen counter and formed the ground beef into patties while Carly sat at the table nearby and colored in one of her new coloring books.

“Baby, you know Lainey, and you’ve met Maddie. Gabby is a total sweetheart and will love you.”

Carly stopped mid-coloring and looked up at him with an expression of concern.

“I know that I know them, but like… what if my Little side doesn’t fit in with their Little sides? What if I play differently or act differently?”

He thought it was sweet that she was so worried about fitting in with the other Littles. Not that she needed to worry. The women that were coming over would love and accept her however she was, but it was her first playdate, so her apprehension was understandable.

Washing his hands at the sink, Damian dried them with a towel and walked over to where Carly sat. He picked her up and carried her to the living room without any effort, sitting her down on his lap.

“Baby doll, you’re fretting all for nothing. Every Little is different. They all play differently, identify as different ages, and have different things they like and dislike. There is no right or wrong. And all of you will get along just fine and be nice and respectful to each other. If for some reason they aren’t kind to you, you tell me. I wouldn’t set you up to fail, remember?”

Carly ran her fingers over the dark hairs on Damian’s forearm and relaxed against his chest. Letting out a sigh, she nodded her head.

“Okay, Daddy.”

He kissed the top of her head and held her for several more minutes until the doorbell interrupted their quiet time together.

“Come on, let’s go answer the door.”

Damian lifted Carly to her feet and patted her bottom to get her moving forward. When she reached her hand up and wrapped her fist around his index finger, he smiled down at her and winked. He loved how physically small she was in comparison to him.

Damian checked the camera monitor on the wall near the entryway, making sure it was his friends at the front door before they answered. As soon as he confirmed that it was Sean, Gabby, Ian, and Maddie, he opened the door to welcome them inside.

Maddie’s voice was the first thing he heard, chattering away to Gabby while Sean held the leash of Gabby’s emotional support dog Olly and Ian held the leash of the hideous creature that they called a dog. The dog was a rescue, and they had named him Scrum, which Damian thought was a perfect name for the little gremlin.

“Damian!” Maddie squealed, jumping into his embrace.

He chuckled and hugged the overly excited Little with his free arm as Carly’s fist tightened around his finger. He wondered if Maddie had snuck in some candy before they came over.

“Maddie, you’ve met Carly.”

Maddie grinned and bobbed her head up and down before throwing her arms around Carly.

“I’m so excited to have a play date! I thought you might be a Little, but I didn’t know for sure.”

Damian noticed Carly’s cheeks turning pink, and he realized that Maddie’s enthusiasm and openness about being Little might be a bit much for Carly so soon.

“Hi, Gabby,” Damian said, hoping to move the attention away from his Little.

Gabby smiled up at him shyly, “Hi.”

“Gabby, Sean, this is Carly. Carly, these are my friends Sean and Gabby. You’ve already met Maddie, and this is her husband Ian.”

Ian and Sean both smiled down at Carly, who stepped in closer to Damian’s side for protection. The fact that she was seeking him out for support made his ego swell a bit as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and held her tightly.

“It’s nice to meet you all,” she said softly.

“I love your hair,” Gabby said.

Carly smiled and relaxed against Damian.

“Thank you. I like your dress.”

Stepping back from the doorway, Damian motioned for everyone to come in. Maddie took the leash from Ian and bounded into the house with Ian shaking his head behind her while Gabby grabbed onto Sean’s hand and walked in beside him.

Gabby was still coming out of her shell, and Damian hoped that making another Little friend would help both her and Carly to feel more comfortable.

“What can I get everyone to drink?” Damian asked as he closed the front door.
