Chapter One

Chase

“Hey, Chase, your pet project is coming tonight.” Galven glances at me with a crooked smile.

I roll my eyes. “She’s not my pet project.” She kind of is though. Everyone knows it. Josie has been coming to the Dungeon for months. She comes every Friday night. She’s shy, incredibly quiet, and always nervous.

She’s adorable.

Have I ever had a conversation with her that lasted more than five seconds? No. Has she let her gaze meet mine? No. Has she ever shown the tiniest interest in pursuing anything with me? Again, no.

“She needs a Daddy,” Galven says as he finishes tying off a bunch of balloons to the low wall around the playroom.

“Are you sure? Some Littles are just happy being Little by themselves. They don’t actually crave the attention of a caregiver.”

Galven leans a hip against the wall and shrugs.

“I’ve owned this club for a long time. I’ve watched nearly every member grow into themselves inside these walls.

That includes Josie. She may be skittish, but she was far more skittish when she first joined.

She has really opened up to the other Littles in the club. ”

I run a hand down my face and sigh. “She hasn’t opened up to any Daddies.”

“Maybe the timing wasn’t quite right. Maybe she just needs more time to get to know people than some people do,” Galven suggests.

I have my doubts, but I hope he’s right. I hope I can eventually reach her. Maybe tonight will be the night.
