Chapter One
Kay
I finished painting the white bunny on the mural before I stepped back and admired my hard work. I’d been working on a playroom for the Little girls in our lives for four days and I was fucking proud of my efforts.
“Oh, Kay, it’s beautiful!” my boss, Leland said, admiring the room.
The Little girls finally had a fun room at Daddies Ink for them to play in, and I had been asked to paint all the walls. I’d justfinished the last one. It had been designed for Ashley, my friend Smoke’s Little one, and it was painted with a pastel forest scene. Each wall was a reflection of each Little girl in our lives. I’d painted candy skulls, kitties, a farm scene, and a pastel forest.
“I hope they like it,” I said, gathering up the brushes I’d used. There was always an element of vulnerability when you completed an art piece and were waiting on the recipient’s reactions.
“I think they’ll love it, especially since Auntie Kay painted it for them,” Smoke said as he stepped into the room and looked around.
“Yeah, you could have painted a turd on the wall and they would have oooooed and ahhhhed it for days,” Leland said with a laugh.
His words filled my heart with joy. I did love being Auntie Kay. Loving their Little ones helped me pass the time while I waited for my own Little girl.
“I still don’t understand why we are leaving that one wall blank. It sticks out terribly,” I complained again.
Leland and Smoke both chuckled.
“You haven’t figured it out yet, Kay?” Blade teased.
“Figured what out?” I asked, too tired to try and navigate what they were talking about.
“That wall will be for your Little one when you find her,” Leland said, throwing his big arm over my shoulders.
Emotions clogged my throat and I looked away.
“She will be welcomed with open arms,” Blade added.
“That is very sweet,” I told them, my eyes glassy with tears. I was so thankful for the family we’d created.
“Can we come inside?” Rogue asked, interrupting our emotional moment. She was standing in the hall with Eloise, Blade’s Little girl.. They were both bouncing on their toes.
“You may, but don’t touch anything because it’s still wet. Look with your eyes only,” Leland, Rogue’s Daddy Dom, warned.
“Yes, Sir,” she said.
“Eyes only, babygirl,” Blade told Eliose.
She nodded around her thumb and followed Rogue in.
Shrieks pierced my ears and I laughed in delight as they ran around taking in all of the details.
“We still have to move the sofa and tables in,” Leland said, pointing out the places the pieces would go.
“And all the play furniture and toys,” Blade reminded them.
“It’s perfect!” Rogue screamed before running to me and giving me a giant hug. “Thank you, Auntie Kay! Thank you!”
Eliose hugged me from behind. “Tanx!”
Laughing, I hugged them back, thankful to have made them so happy.

“We're going to The Thirsty Turtle again this weekend. They’re having a pajama party. Do you want to come?” Leland asked, sitting down in my office.
