Okay, that was adorable. “How have you never been in a dungeon before?”
He shrugged. “I mean…” He waved his free hand as he turned, staring. “Everything. Hellooo, DC fishbowl. This issocool!”
“Don’t expect to see us in here,” I joked. “We played last night. I love you, honey, but I don’t want to see what you three get up to.”
He grinned, meeting my gaze. “Ditto.”
We explored the themed rooms and costumes, and then Jordan spied the other exit.
“What’s over there?” We headed across the space to the other door. We’d finished our coffees so we dumped the cups in the garbage as we emerged into the hall where the indoor pool, gym, and arcade were located.
I didn’t expect his happy gasp when he spotted the jungle gyms and ball pits and other equipment. He darted inside and had already kicked off his shoes by the time I caught up.
“Come on!” he said.
I laughed. “Hold on, let me get my shoes.” There was no one in here with us except for a woman watching over the space as I stuck my shoes in the cubby next to Jordan’s.
He grabbed me by the hand again and raced over to the large ball pit.
“I didn’t know you’re a Little,” I said.
His infectious grin made me laugh. “I’m not, but helloooo, this is sooo cool!” He climbed up to the ledge. “Come on!”
He jumped in with a happy yell, making me laugh again.
I stepped up and jumped in, landing next to him.
“Ahh, this is the life,” he said, leaning back like he was going to backstroke through the balls.
Something finally hit me. “You didn’t have a happy childhood.”
I knew this, but it hadn’t been at the front of my mind until now.
He looked at me. “Nope. When I wasn’t sick or in the hospital, I never got to cut loose like this.”
He dolphin jumped in the balls, disappearing under the surface before emerging again and sending balls flying around us. “Yeah, I want to have some sexy fun while we’re here At the Ranch, I mean. Not in here in the ball pit. More importantly, I want to do stuff like this that I can’t do anywhere else.” He happily sighed. “I want to play in the playground outside and splash around and ride the water slides and everything.”
“What does El want to do while you guys are here?”
“He wants to publicly be Leo’s pet in a place where he can relax and not draw attention. He won’t have to worry about who might see him. We’ll probably be the most boring kinky people ever while we’re here because we want to do all the normal stuff we usually can’t do. Or that we drastically scale back in public.”
Vic and I are a cis-het couple so we didn’t draw attention in that way. Sometimes it was easy for me to forget that my brother and brothers-in-law didn’t enjoy that same built-in anonymity, and not just because of Elliot’s fame, either.
“Horseback riding later?” I asked.
“Sure.”
After hitting the slides and jungle gym—and finding myself laughing with Jordan as we played—we finally headed upstairs to eat breakfast. We’d just given the waitress our order when Master Derek walked in, spotted us sitting there, and ambled over.
“Mind if I sit down?” he asked.
“Sure,” I said.
He pulled up a chair. “We didn’t have time to discuss this in-depth during your last visit, but I wanted to circle back to it. Would you be interested in working here?”
Jordan’s eyes widened. “Yes! She’ll take the job.”
Derek laughed. “Leo wasn’t wrong about you, Jordan.”
