Page 26 of A Daddy for Maddy

He laughed and then fed me the rest of whatever I asked for.

“Wing!”

He brought the wing to my lips. His fingers were covered in sauce. I didn’t want to miss a drop, so I licked his fingers before every bite.

“Baby, you will be my undoing.”

I loved the compliment. We hadn’t even kissed yet, but the intimacy with Colin was growing, and I wanted more.

Later, he took me back to the littles room well fed and happy.

My skin was warm all over as I sat in front of the TV. It was all I could do. The littles and daddies around me had become a low mumble. I didn’t hear or see them clearly. All I could think of was Colin.

The time passed quickly as I daydreamed. I may have even dozed off because before I knew it, a hand rested on the top of my head. I wasn’t startled. I knew who it was.

“Time to go, baby,” Colin said.

I got up and grabbed Kornie to my chest. I took his hand with my other hand.

On the way out, men were still hanging around. The club would not close for another hour or so.

“Are you tired, baby?” Colin asked when we got to my car.

I shook my head.

“Are you hungry?”

I really wasn’t. “Can we go for coffee?”

“Of course, we can.”

We drove with me following Colin to an all-night diner.

Every minute we talked at the diner, and I told him about my life and my feelings and how I thought I was alone in my discovery that I liked little things, I felt closer to him. We sat and talked non-stop until the sun started to come up.

“It’s so late. Or early. You need to get your sleep before your own shift, baby.”

“Yeah. But I don’t want to leave you.”

“I promise I’ll text you tomorrow, okay?”

I nodded.

Then he leaned down and kissed me right on the lips. It made my body feel light and my mind dizzy.

I felt like I was floating as I drove home. I wondered when I would get invited to his house. It couldn’t be soon enough.

The next day I woke bleary-eyed, with only about an hour to get ready for work. I found two texts from Colin. It surprised me because as a person who worked nights, and then spent extra time dating me after his shift, I figured he’d sleep in.

Colin: Would love to take you to lunch when you have your next day off.

His second text was even better.

Colin: I thought about you all night.
