RUBY

Waking up with Zane and Jace surrounding her was something she could get used to. And that was the problem, really. Getting used to these men would break her once they got tired of her. How could she be their Little but still keep her heart protected? It would be impossible if they continued treating her like she walked on water.

Jace was so sweet and gentle while still having a firm side to him, and Zane was just a big, huge bulldozer who showed small glimpses of his soft side. Both the men did things to her in different ways. She loved that Zane didn’t ask for forgiveness when he was being stubborn and she knew that in his own mind, he was always trying to do the right thing. But the gentleness she felt with Jace was something she didn’t know if she’d ever get used to. He treated her so delicately.

Zane sat her down at a small table in the large kitchen and when she looked down, she realized he’d set her in a booster seat and her legs were dangling. Looking up at him, her mouth fell open when he reached down and started securing a strap around her waist.

“Don’t want our little girl to fall,” he said with a wink.

Sheesh! She had a feeling there wouldn’t be much wiggle room when it came to Zane. He was over the top protective but even though she tried to deny it, deep down, she loved it. Craved it even.

“What’s our girl want for a snack? Any allergies or foods you hate?” Jace asked as he started rifling through the large stainless-steel refrigerator.

“I’m allergic to peanuts and I don’t like seafood,” she answered.

Zane’s eyes widened. “How allergic to peanuts are you?”

“Allergic enough to carry an epi-pen in my car at all times and in my purse.”

Jace looked back at her with a concerned look on his face.

“We need to order some epi-pens for each of us to have on hand, just in case,” Zane said.

And there he goes with the overprotective side.

She couldn’t help but giggle, which the men didn’t seem to appreciate based on the glares they were shooting her way.

“Your health and safety is no laughing matter, little girl. We take that very seriously,” Jace said sternly.

Well, shoot. Protective Daddy number two arrived and his name was Jace.

“You guys worry too much.”

Raising his eyebrows, Zane leaned down and cupped her chin. “There’s no such thing as worrying too much when it comes to a Little.”

Jace put together a spread of crackers, cheese, fruit, and raisins and then placed it on the table just out of her reach. When he set a pink sippy cup in front of her with fairies on it, she looked up at him. Did he expect her to drink out of that? She had some sippy cups at home, but she had never actually used them. She’d been too nervous to try them.

“Do you need Daddy to hold it for you to take a drink?” Jace asked.

Wait, what? He would do that?

Shaking her head, she eyed the cup again before picking it up by the handles on each side.

Both men sat on either side of her, watching her, and she wondered if they were always going to watch her so closely or if it was just something they were doing because it was new. It probably should have bothered her that they were doing it, but instead, it felt like they actually cared, and that was a feeling she had always craved. It was a little embarrassing when she brought the spout of the cup up to her mouth and drank from it, but that slight embarrassment seemed to make her body react in a way she hadn’t expected. She was thankful she was no longer completely naked, though a pair of panties would have been nice. Thankfully the t-shirt they put her in practically went down to her knees.

“Let’s talk about your limits, Ruby. What are they?” Jace asked.

Zane picked up a cracker and a piece of cheese, stacking the cheese on top, and then held it up to her mouth. Reaching out to take it from him, he pulled back and shook his head.

“Zaddy wants to feed you. Open.”

Opening her mouth for him, she accepted the bite of food, thinking about Jace’s question. Did she have hard limits? She wasn’t really sure. There were things she definitely wouldn’t ever want to try, but she was pretty sure they were things the two men weren’t even into.

“Maybe you could tell me what you guys like and I could say if it would be a limit or not?”

They both nodded.
