‘I can think of worse ways of spending my time,’ Danny squealed, his milk bottle toppling over in his excitement.
‘Michael is known for being so focused on his business investments that I’m sure he’ll keep things professional,’ Louie said. ‘My Daddy said that he’s never met anyone so serious and stern as Michael in his whole life!’
Korben understood how Max could come to that conclusion.
But on the other hand, Korben had witnessed Michael’s dry humor at first hand. There was definitely a more fun, spontaneous person inside Michael trying to get out. And it was this, on top of Michael’s suave good looks, that was making Korben feel so dizzy with excitement.
I could be the Little to bring out his best Daddy side.
He’d train me to be his boy, and I’d help him have more fun.
But… how would that work with the investment?
Korben was still very unsure about both progressing any kind of relationship with Michael, either financial or personal. But all that could wait.
With the sound of soothing nursery rhymes playing in the background and his eyes beginning to droop, Korben knew that the only thing he’d be thinking about soon was how many magical unicorns were jumping over the rainbow in his dreams.
‘I want to go snoozy,’ Korben said, a smile on his face as he began to let his eyes shut.
‘Me too,’ Louie said, cuddling up to his stuffie Huggle.
‘Me three,’ Danny added, waving goodnight with the paws of his dog stuffie, Sandwich.
‘Nighty-nighty,’ the three said in unison, pulling a large blanket up over themselves and quickly falling asleep.
Korben knew he had big decisions to make on the horizon.
But in this moment, the only thing that mattered was being with his best Littles and enjoying every moment of his Little Space sleep time.
Chapter 4
Michael
Michael strode into his lawyer’s office with serious intentions.
‘Good morning, Grey,’ Michael said, shaking hands with Grey Todd, his longtime lawyer and friend. ‘Thank you for meeting me at such short notice.’
‘Of course,’ Grey replied, his slicked back black hair and handsome jawline looking as imposing as ever. ‘When I got your message, I figured it was time to clear my appointments. And you know I’d always make space for a man of your caliber. Us Princeford grads have to stick together, right?’
‘Indeed,’ Michael replied.
Michael smiled and the pair of them briefly embraced.
Grey’s office was a large corner office in one of the city’s most prestigious buildings. With its panoramic views of the city beyond the floor to ceiling windows and sleek but comfortable interior, Grey’s office was a place to discuss tricky legal situations, catch up on old times, or simply run over ideas for potential investments.
Grey Todd was one of the top corporate lawyers in the city and had a long history of handling some of the most high profile business disputes and corporate actions. Grey was smart and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the law.
Having trained as a prosecutor but since moved into corporate action, Grey had a balanced and highly perceptive mind. Only a fool would try and get anything past Grey, and it was well known that Grey didn’t stand for deceptive behavior.
But Grey was far more than a quick minded and trusted lawyer, he was a great friend too.
Michael and Grey first met back at Princeford and had grown closer over the years as their lives both took them down the path of becoming a Daddy. With both men staying single into their forties too, they were always good company for one another when it came to a late night vodka or three.
But this wasn’t a social visit. Far from it. Michael had been dealing with something of a headache in recent months, and by the sounds of things, that headache was only getting progressively worse…
‘We’ve spoken about Phillip Neal before,’ Michael said, taking a seat opposite Grey. ‘And it looks like this sonofabitch is back to cause some more shit.’
‘Okay, tell me more,’ Grey replied, handing Michael a small glass of iced water.
