It worked. “Daddy,” she hissed. “Please tell me you’re kidding.”
“I was joking, Little girl. Get back to work. I’ll see you tonight.”
“Okay.”
He ended the call before he said, “I love you, Nicoya Stevens.” He felt it all the way to his soul, but he didn’t think she was ready to hear it yet.
Deciding he needed to get off work early in order to hit the grocery store, he hurried back out to the front of Bark and Branches. He wanted to get as much done as he could before he left the store in the capable hands of his employees.
By three o’clock, he was in his truck and headed to the store. He wanted to have plenty of time to work on the nursery before she got home too. He’d gotten a good start on it the night she’d been called in to work, but he hadn’t shown it to her yet because the timing had been off.
Tonight, he would introduce her to not only the nursery, but a deeper level of age play. Considering the stress she’d been under for the last few days, he thought she would benefit from a baby-girl evening.
The spanking had helped. The orgasm he’d given her after swatting her bottom had too. But sometimes Little girls needed to spend some time with zero responsibilities. His job was to make that happen for Nicoya.
After a quick trip to the grocery store, he headed for Little Cakes.
As soon as he stepped inside, he was bombarded by Ellie and her employees. Ellie quickly introduced him to Sue and Tori, whom he surmised were also Little.
“Are you here to get Maraschino Cherry cupcakes for Nicoya?” Ellie asked, beaming.
“How’d you guess?” he teased. “You better give me four. I suspect she might want a second one tomorrow.”
“Coming right up. Did she tell you about her plans to clean up a house?” Ellie asked as she boxed the cupcakes.
“She did. It’s very kind of you to offer to help.”
“We all will,” Sue stated.
“Definitely,” Tori added. “We saw Daisy earlier. She’s in. I’m sure Lark will come. She’s Ellie’s best friend.”
“Lark Adams?” he asked. It was a small world.
“Yes. Do you know her?” Tori asked as she opened a bag so Ellie could set the cupcake box gently inside.
“She was my realtor. Best realtor I’ve ever had,” he informed them.
Ellie giggled. “She is the best.”
He glanced around at all three women, marveling at how many people in town were Little. It was uncanny. Or maybe it wasn’t. Maybe it was simply a matter of living somewhere where people were openly true to themselves and their preferences.
Axel had often wondered what percentage of people enjoyed some form of age play. Now he suspected the number was probably much higher than the average person would expect. They simply weren’t willing to out themselves. If more people lived in an accepting community like this one, the world would be a happier place.
Axel handed Ellie his credit card just as Tarson came through from the back room. “Hey. I thought I heard your voice out here.” He extended a hand toward Axel.
“Good to see you again. I was actually going to hunt you down at some point. I have a proposition.”
“If it involves showing up with the Littles for the clean-up job Nicoya is arranging, several of us have already planned to be there.”
Axel smiled. “You read my mind. I was hoping to gather some men to do the outside. Bark and Branches will donate supplies, shrubs, and whatever else we need to get the house looking its best.”
“That’s very generous of you,” Tarson responded. “I’ve spoken to Garrett, Wyatt, Milo, Evan, and Davis already this morning.”
“Wow, you’ve been busy. It doesn’t sound like I even need to make calls,” Axel joked.
Tarson chuckled. “Evan and Davis were easy to catch. They both dropped off their Littles here for work this morning. Garrett has been in to see Ellie a few times today. Wyatt picked up cupcakes for the police station earlier. Milo came in on his break. He’s an EMT.”
“Thank you so much. I only formulated the plan this afternoon. You already had it executed. I’m grateful. Who else do I need to talk to?” Axel asked.
“I can handle gathering people,” Tarson replied. “Your contribution is huge. I’m sure Trace and Avery already know since they work with Nicoya.”
Sue rocked forward excitedly. “I’ll pop over to Maniac’s Tats and invite Maniac and Tatiana.”
Tori nodded. “Good idea. I have to make a cupcake delivery to CC’s Purrfect Coffee this afternoon. I’ll let her and Hunter know. He’s a doctor. I’ll call my brother Terry too. I’m sure he and Kiki will want to join us.”
Axel thought of one person he at least knew in town he could add to the list. “I’ll call Callen at the hardware store.”
