With that, the two new Little friends sat on the floor in their rompers and began to look through the assorted and colorful stuffie sleeping bags. Arlo felt relaxed and totally at ease in Dale’s company. He wasn’t afraid of saying anything silly or whether Dale would judge him or say anything mean.

It might only have been for a few moments, but Arlo totally forgot about all his past trauma from his days in the military. Life was good. And it was all because Arlo had found himself in Eagle Ridge.

‘You know, I think I kinda love this place,’ Arlo said.

‘And I think you might kinda love something else too,’ Dale giggled, turning and pointing out of the playroom and toward the huddle of Daddies as they stood on the decking out front. ‘I don’t blame you, Axel’s smoking hot.’

‘Be careful your Daddy doesn’t hear you say that!’ Arlo giggled. ‘But, yeah, Axel definitely does make me feel all the right ways. I tried to stop myself thinking about him likethat, but it just doesn’t work. Ever since I first saw him in those Speedos. Wow. That’s one image I couldn’t get out of my mind even if I wanted to.’

‘I know the feeling,’ Dale said, rolling onto his back and putting his own stuffie Rebel inside a polka dotted sleeping bag. ‘I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of seeing my Daddy stepping out of the shower. His body is so… yummy. And his big Daddy dick is…’

‘Yeah?’

‘It makes me cum sometimes just by going inside me. Daddy doesn’t even need to move it in and out,’ Dale said, his cheeks going red before he burst out in a fit of giggles.

‘OMG,’ Arlo laughed. ‘Now that’s something I need to experience. Not with Kipp, obviously. But you know… maybe with Axel.’

Arlo took a moment to consider things. He might have been enjoying some great Little time with Dale, but that didn’t mean that Axel was out of his thoughts. Far from it. It was like the more time he spent in Little Space or playing with other Littles, the more it was that he could see the upsides of settling down with a Daddy.

But there was one problem…

‘The thing is… Axel doesn’t do relationships,’ Arlo said, a slightly glum look coming over him. ‘I know he’s been hurt in the past. I guess he just decided that was one time too many.’

‘That was before he met you, silly,’ Dale replied. ‘You can’t tell anyone I said this or I’ll be in for an almighty paddling, but I heard my Daddy talking with Axel and it sounded like Axel wanted to make you his Little. Like, officially.’

Arlo’s heart skipped a beat before then resuming at turbo-speed.

Is Dale right?

Could he have misheard?

What if Axel really does want to make me his Little?

Arlo could feel his mind going into overdrive. He knew it was a mistake to overthink things. Arlo had put his trust in people inthe past only to be let down in the worst ways. It didn’t make sense to assume that Axel wanted to be in a relationship with him based on one overheard conversation.

Arlo knew that Dale wouldn’t lie to him, but at the same time he had to at least try and remain calm. Despite never even considering that Eagle Ridge could become a home to him, suddenly Arlo was faced with the very real possibility that he might need to stay there if he wanted to make things work with Axel, a man who had all the makings of a wonderful Daddy.

Speaking of Axel, Arlo looked up and saw him walking into the playroom with a bottle of milk in his hand and a big, warm smile on his face.

‘How about we take your Little butt into the movie room?’ Axel asked, his strong arms looking as rock-solid as ever in his white t-shirt. ‘Milk and a movie…’

‘Yes please,’ Arlo replied, watching on as Kipp entered with his own bottle of milk for Dale.

‘Oh and don’t worry about heading back to the campsite tonight,’ Kipp said. ‘You and Axel can take a couple of the guest rooms upstairs. As far as I’m concerned, you’re both welcome to stay as long as you’d like. That’s if you’d like that, Arlo?’

‘Daddy?’ Arlo said, looking up to Axel. ‘Can we?’

‘I guess that’s a yes!’ Axel chuckled as he picked Arlo up and cradled him in his arms. ‘Now let’s get a movie on the projector screen. I’m thinking something that Daddies and Littles can enjoy…’

Arlo looked across to Dale and smiled as the pair of them were carried out of the playroom and into the movie room. A perfect day was very much looking like it was going to get a perfect evening to go along with it.

But Arlo’s mind was already thinking further ahead.

Bathtime and bedtime were just around the corner…

After a fun movie and lots of laughter and popcorn with Dale and Kipp, Arlo and Axel were now alone once more.

The guest bathroom was a cozily sized but still had enough room for a big freestanding bath in the center of the room. And with the bubbly water filling it to perfection, and a ton of rubber duckies and other toys in there ready to be played with, Arlo knew that the time for waiting was over.
