4. Luke

By the time he got home that night, Ally hadn't left his mind. He loved cute Littles who were naturally bratty like her and loved to discipline them. He loved their challenges and loved when they finally submitted to him, despite thinking they were big enough to act however they wanted.

He couldn't stop thinking about how he'd walked in on her sleeping on the couch with her thumb in her mouth so sweetly, an animated movie playing on the TV. His mind flashed back to her bed with all the stuffed animals lined up perfectly. She definitely had Little tendencies, but his gut questioned if she had ever actually been a Little. Not that it was any of his business.

He didn't have the capacity to trust another woman yet. Not after what his last Little had done to him. Not that she had ever actually been a Little. She had played pretend while playing him like a puppet. Not that he was still bitter about it or anything.

It didn't mean he wouldn't think about Ally while he was in the shower pleasuring himself. Picturing her plump bottom in a crinkly diaper was enough to make him groan as he exploded in his hands and the hot water washed away his sticky cum.

She ground his gears, that was for sure. She needed a good spanking and a set of strict rules. She wasn't doing a very good job of taking care of herself and that pissed him off. Shaking the thoughts from his head, Luke told himself it wasn't his job to give her that. Not that she would want it anyway.

The next morning, Luke pulled up to her house at precisely nine forty-five. It had snowed all through the night, leaving several inches of white, fluffy powder on the ground. He loved this mountain town. It was quaint and homey. His ex, Melissa, would have hated it here. She hated anything genuine. The people in this town were as welcoming and kind as could be. Nosy but friendly older women in the town had dropped meals by every evening for the first few weeks he was there, wanting to know all about him.

Since he had arrived, people had been welcoming him into his new position as town sheriff. He had been sought out by the previous sheriff, Greg Webster, who had heard about Luke from his previous sergeant in the city. It had been perfect timing when Greg had reached out to him to offer the job. Greg retired within two weeks of Luke coming in as sheriff. The man had continued to keep in touch with him to make sure he had everything he needed. Luke noticed everyone in the small town seemed to care about each other.

His own relationship had already been on the rocks for some time before he was offered the job, due to the fact he refused to allow Melissa to control their relationship and every aspect of his life. Taking the job had been the best decision he'd made in a long time. He had originally asked Greg for some time to think about taking the job, and when he brought it up to Melissa, she had flipped out. She said she didn't want to date a sheriff in some small, no-good, hick town.

And then he had found her in bed with one of his fellow officers, Mike, the next day. In their bed. Apparently, she had been cheating on him for months. She told him the cop she was cheating with had more aspirations to become something worthwhile then he ever had. Luke accepted the job that same day and moved to the small town of Pinebrook, Oregon to start his new life the following week. Before he left, he had found out from his friend, Kane, that her new boyfriend was being investigated by the department. It really didn't surprise him. He'd always had a bad feeling about the guy.

In reality, their relationship had ended months prior to him finding her cheating. First, she told him she didn't want to be a Little anymore, which crushed him initially until he realized she had never actually wanted to be a Little in the first place. She wanted to be a woman of status and expected him to keep climbing the ladder until he became police chief of Seattle.

He had never wanted to be police chief. He wanted to be on the streets, helping the people and making a real difference, not having to make the decisions for the city. He wanted to be a part of the community and fulfill the promise he made when he became an officer. To serve and protect. He didn't feel that he could do that from behind a desk.

It wasn't until after their relationship ended and he moved to the small town that Luke realized it had all been a game to her. She knew he had money left to him after his grandparents had passed and knew he could give her any lifestyle she wanted. She pretended to be what he was looking for until she realized he wasn't going to let her call the shots in the relationship.

After she realized she couldn't control him, she'd turned nasty, throwing away all the Little items they had acquired during their relationship and rarely allowing him to touch her after that. Only when she had been drinking had she shown any interest in wanting to have sex with him.

He would never make that mistake again. He had fallen so hard for her, so happy he had finally found what he thought was a true Little, only to be burned so badly that when he moved to this small town, he hadn't looked back.

She called him after he moved and asked if she could see him. She was slurring her words when she called, promising she would be Little for him again and calling him Daddy. He told her to never contact him again before disconnecting the call and blocking her number. Despite the fresh start in a new town, he still felt a deep bitterness inside.

Ally knocked on the car window, jolting Luke from thoughts of his past. He quickly pushed the unlock button so she could climb in and get out of the frigid weather.

"Morning," he greeted.

Ally climbed in and buckled her seatbelt. He noticed her happy reaction to the seat he had preheated for her on his way over, feeling good that he was able to please her.

"Morning," she answered quietly.

He wanted to keep the conversation light. Luke figured she thought he was a complete jerk after his threats the previous night. He didn't care if she did think he was a jerk. In his opinion, he was doing what he needed to take care of a lost Little girl who clearly needed boundaries and someone to look after her.

"How'd you sleep?"

Smiling warmly, she looked over at him. "Better than I have in a long time. My house is so warm. Thank you."

Nodding, he smiled at her, staring into her vivid green eyes, happy that she got a good night's rest.

"I'm glad to hear it."

Navigating his way to the diner, Luke watched the road intently. There was a lot of snow on the ground. He expected several calls today about stranded cars and fender benders.

When they arrived at the diner, Luke got out of his SUV and followed Ally inside to order a coffee to go. She quietly made his drink, happily greeting other guests that came in for breakfast. He wanted her to greet him like that. He knew it was wishful thinking after last night, but he'd rather make sure she was safe and sound even if she hated him.

He held out his free hand. "Give me your car keys."

Ally looked at him questioningly.

"Give me your keys, Ally. I'm going to go see if I can figure out what's going on with your car."

"I'll call someone today to come fix it. You don't have to fix everything for me," she huffed.

Luke stepped forward towards her until he was close enough to whisper.

"You know, I really think you might need your cute bottom spanked for arguing with me all the time."

Ally's eyes snapped up at him. He assumed she was sizing him up to see if he was being serious. Without a word, she turned and grabbed her keys from under the counter.

"Here," she snapped.
