Chapter Six

Collin

I had a Daddy.

There were other people like me.

I had a Daddy.

“Come here, baby.” Daddy chuckled as I squeaked when he swept me up in his arms like I was a baby and walked over to sit down on one of the couches in the lounge. “You’re distracted.”

Maybe.

But since it was making him smile, I wasn’t worried about it.

“You’re a Daddy.” It was amazing. “You’ve got a thing that makes sense. And my playing makes sense. I’m a Middle.”

I had a kind of BDSM.

Daddy tried not to laugh but he was smiling as he nodded. “You’re right. I’m a Daddy. It was fascinating and strange to find other Doms like me.”

Nice caretaker Doms who didn’t mind their subs playing.

“Austin knew, didn’t he?” He was amazing but he was kind of sneaky.

Daddy’s chest jerked but he pretended to frown. “I refuse to admit that troublemaker was right.”

A snort came from behind us. “My trouble is always right. That’s what gets him into so much trouble.”

Giggling, I nodded and smiled up at Master Silas as he looked down at us. “He’s amazing. He knew I was a Middle.”

Looking like he wanted to laugh too, Master Silas walked around the couch and sat on an oversized chair in front of us. “He thought you might be somewhere on that spectrum, but if you’d have liked the Littles too, he wouldn’t have been surprised. They’re cute and he likes playing with them.”

So did he want to be a Daddy or a little?

Daddy made a soft thinking sound and I had a feeling he was wondering the same thing too. We were good and not nosy and didn’t ask. “He seemed to enjoy the barely controlled chaos of both playrooms.”

That finally made Silas chuckle. “He loves anything that leads to chaos. You should see him with the pups.”

That would be fun.

I’d always wanted a pup but I was allergic to the real ones.

And I wasn’t sure if I could play with the club pups.

Hmm.

Wiggling closer to Daddy, I leaned in and whispered. “Can we come back and play with the pups another time, Daddy?”

I had a Daddy.

I didn’t have to call him Master or Sir.

The other subs said I could call him that all the time because Daddies liked it.

“Yes.” Daddy paused and frowned. “I think that would be alright.”

He looked up to Master Silas but the big, big alpha answered before Daddy could ask any questions. “Yes. They’d love that. They don’t get a lot of random visitors because most of the Doms are still learning how to interact with them.”

Oh, yeah.

“It’s hard to find the rules.” Daddy was so smart. “Daddy told Austin that he needed a rules and manners section on the website. So new people know what to do.”

Master Silas made a thinking face and nodded. “That would be a good idea, and now that the club has been open for a while, we understand better what people need to know.”

Everything.

People needed to know everything.

“I got to play upstairs. New people might not know there’s fun stuff upstairs that you can keep your clothes on for.

” Hmm. I looked down at myself. “Most of your clothes. My new friends didn’t care what I was wearing.

One had on pajamas because he told his Daddy he didn’t want to wear clothes.

Somehow his Daddy tricked him but he’s not sure how it happened. His Daddy is sneaky.”

Master Silas laughed. “I know who you’re talking about and yes that little exhibitionist has a sneaky Daddy.”

I was glad I had a nice Daddy.

“I have a nice one. He’s not sneaky. I like that.

I thought he was just a really nice Dom but he’s a Daddy.

” That was amazing. “The other subs upstairs said that meant he needed to take care of me to be happy, so I don’t have to worry about needing help.

He needs me to need him. That’s a relief. It’s hard doing stuff all the time.”

Sometimes I just couldn’t put down my game even though I knew I had to.

Now I had a Daddy to make sure I got my grown-up stuff done.

That was going to be good and bad, but it was definitely going to be helpful.

Austin was going to love that I would be more on time with my projects.

Master Silas nodded and didn’t laugh or even smile. “It’s very hard for a lot of people but especially subs like Middles. They need their Daddies but they don’t always understand what they need.”

“I’m not a useless adult. I’m a Middle.” I really hated being useless. “That’s not lazy or bad.”

“It’s not.” Daddy kissed my head and gave me a big, snuggly hug. “I told you that there was nothing wrong with liking your games.”

Chuckling, he tickled my sides making me squeal. “Now I just understand I’m supposed to tell you no sometimes when you ask for five more minutes.”

Oops.

That was a bad lesson to teach a new Daddy.

I groaned when Daddy finally stopped tickling me and it made Master Silas laugh again. “That one is going to come back to bite you in the ass, but it’s important. Your Daddy is going to like helping you.”

Ugh.

“Does that mean I can’t complain when he’s helping?” When that made Master Silas laugh again, I knew I could still whine. “I’m going to like complaining.”

It was Daddy’s turn to groan, so I gave him a cute cheek kiss like Austin taught me. “I’m going to appreciate your help, though, Daddy.”

Sometimes.

“You’re going to be an adorable pain in the butt.” Daddy was nearly laughing, so I knew he didn’t mind. “I guess I’m just going to have to find good bribes to help you to behave.”

Oh. I was going to like bribes.

“Punishments work too.” Master Silas flashed a naughty grin when I covered up Daddy’s ears. “I’m pretty sure he already knows that part.”

“Don’t listen to the naughty Dom, Daddy.” Shaking my head, I kept Daddy’s ears covered so he couldn’t hear Master Silas. “You’re a nice Daddy to your boy.”

Me.

I was his Middle.

Bribes were much better than punishments.

“I’m going to like being a good boy.” Kissing his cheek as I released his ears sounded like a good idea. “I like rewards and you like rewarding me.”

Master Silas was laughing, but Daddy nodded and knew what a serious discussion it was. “You do like rewards and I like making you happy, so we’re going to have to come up with rules that help us do both.”

Hmm.

“I like being happy and I like you being happy.” Daddy was being sneaky, though. “I’ll ask Austin how to make both of us happy.”

Yes, he would help me figure out what Daddy was up to.

Master Silas’s laughter was going to get me in trouble, though, so I glared at him. “I’m being nice and letting Austin help me.”

If he wasn’t nice, I’d tell Austin it would be a good idea to buy another country.

Hmm.

Looking sweet, I shrugged. “I can be very helpful and give Austin lots of ideas.”

It was Daddy’s turn to laugh and Master Silas groaned. “Fine. I’ll stop encouraging your Daddy to punish you.”

Whew.

Daddy was going to tell me not to worry once he stopped laughing.

It was just going to take a while.

Master Silas didn’t have lots of patience, though, so he only waited a few seconds before he looked at me and raised one eyebrow. “I came over to see if you wanted a tour guide, but your Daddy seems to be in a mood.”

Hmm.

I was pretty sure Master Silas was in a mood.

“What kind of stuff would we see?” I didn’t want to see anything scary. “I gave Austin my limits list, so he knows what to show me. Not just the club application.”

Daddy managed to stop laughing long enough to kiss my head. “That was a smart decision.”

Austin liked knowing things… it made him happy.

“You’ve got two options. We can walk through the room with the actual BDSM equipment and then go see a flogging demo. Another option would be to be the sex dummy in a sounding demo then get aftercare once you’ve orgasmed your brains out.”

Wow.

Master Silas gave good options.

They were so good Daddy finally stopped giggling. “Austin really did read all those lists we sent him.”

Master Silas just rolled his eyes and ignored Daddy. “So?”

Leaning closer to Daddy, I whispered again. “You’d have to take my cage off for that, Daddy.”

“You’re right.” Daddy let out a slow breath. “Everyone would see your penis and see you orgasm too. Are you still okay with trying that?”

Daddy said it might be fun to talk about something but not fun to do something but just thinking about it was making me wiggle and my cage feel tighter. I’d forgotten it while I was playing… well… mostly as long as I wasn’t jumping too much.

But now I couldn’t forget it.

“Are you still okay with that, Daddy?” Did knowing he was a Daddy change that?

Master Silas sighed. “Collin, I’m pretty sure your Daddy is hard as a rock imagining it. Morris, Collin would be hard as a rock but you have him caged.”

Master Silas was just as bossy as Austin, and it helped Daddy to remember he was Daddy. “Thank you for that wonderfully succinct explanation. However, just because the penis is interested in something doesn’t mean the rest of the person agrees.”

Smirking, Master Silas gave a half-shrug. “But it does this time.”

Daddy’s grumble said that he didn’t like Master Silas being right. “This time everyone seems to be in agreement.”

Everyone?

Daddy and his penis?

Daddy and me and his penis?

Daddy’s penis and my penis?

Mine was stuck but it was still trying to tell me it was a good idea.

“What do you think, baby?” Daddy kissed my head and tried not to sound like he wanted to go yippy. “Should we go explore the sounds?”

He had his work voice on and sounded like he’d just asked if I needed tickets to the theater instead of asking if I wanted to show everyone my penis.

“Exploring could be interesting.” Using my work voice made me want to giggle, but I was pretty sure I was supposed to sound serious. “It’s on our lists.”

And we’d said we were going to play… and if I ignored a tiny voice in the back of my head that said I needed to see if Daddy would still like me after we played, well, that was okay because I ignored a lot of stressful things in life.

I was a Middle, so that meant I didn’t have to do stressful things.

Yep.

I was a Middle and that meant I didn’t have to worry.
