Relief washed through Michael at that. They didn't make it a requirement that the person they were going to hire had to be in the scene, only that the person wouldn't judge and knew up front what type of club it was. If they weren't comfortable with it, then this wasn't the job for them.

In the very beginning, they had a lot of people who wanted to work here but when they figured out what type of club it was, a lot of them said no thank you and left. BDSM wasn't for everyone and Michael knew that.

“You have this fond look as you talk about her. Are you interested in her?” Finn asked. “I’ve never heard you talk like that before about a girl.”

Jaxson shrugged his shoulders and Michael couldn't help but smile. He was totally interested in her and couldn't hide it now.

"Something is different about her. I don’t know what it is, but I feel connected to her in a way. I’m worried about her," Jaxson explained.

"You're totally interested in her," Michael said.

"I'm not! There's just something different about her and I want to make sure she’s okay. She doesn’t have any family here. Is there something wrong with that?" Jaxson asked, exasperated.

Michael shook his head and stood up. "Nothing wrong with that. Just thought you were interested in her. Well, since I'm done with what I needed to do, I'm going to go home and check on Monroe."

"We’ll catch up later. Maybe once Monroe is fully healed, she can come over and hang out with Charlotte. They could have a playdate," Finn said.

Michael stopped right before the door and looked back at Finn. "I don't know if she's a Little yet. She has shown signs, but I don't want to assume anything and make her feel uncomfortable. Right now, I'm just focused on her healing and getting some more weight on her."

"Good luck! Hope she heals soon and gets to feeling better. Remember to be patient with her and she'll come around," Jaxson said.

He waved as he walked out of his office and toward the entrance of the building. Michael slowed down as he passed the gift shop where they kept all the stuffed toys people sold to the club so the club in return could sell to other people.

"Hey, Jonah." Michael waved as he walked into the room.

He had thought on several occasions today that he should bring Monroe here once she was fully recovered to let her get a stuffed toy. He thought it might brighten up her day and give her stuffed bunny a friend.

"Hey, Michael. How are you? I haven't seen you in several days," Jonah smiled.

"I'm good. I took some personal days and have been hanging around my house, relaxing," he replied. "How are you? How's Moriah?"

Moriah was Jonah's sub, and they were a cute couple. They had been part of the club since it first opened.

“Can I talk to you for a second about that?” Jonah sighed and rubbed his hand down his face.

“What's up?” Michael didn't like how stressed he looked.

“I feel like I'm failing her. She's been keeping something from me. I've been patient and giving her space so she can come to me when she's ready, but it's been two weeks and I'm worried about her,” Jonah confessed. “I don't want to bring it up and make her shut down because she isn't ready to tell me, but I'm worried something could be wrong."

The last time Jonah and Moriah came into the club, Michael had felt that something was off between them. They'd never been on the Little side of the club, but were on the other side where the club catered to other people's needs and desires.

A couple of the owners had wanted to only make the club cater to Littles, Middles, and anyone who was interested in age play, but there were a couple of other owners that were Daddies who also liked to dabble in other aspects of BDSM so they added a smaller room onto the building for them.

“You're the Dom and you know what's best for her as your sub but also as your wife. If you're worried about her and what she's keeping from you, then tell her that. Sit her down and tell her you're worried about her and didn't want to push her, but it has been going on for a while and you want to make it better," Michael said. "Communication is key to life and marriage. You need to remind her of that, and you need to bring that worry to her. Don't be afraid to talk to her and let her know how you're feeling and that you're worried."

Michael liked it when people came to him for advice. It showed they trusted him and that he was a safe place for the person.

"Thank you, Michael. I'll be sitting her down tonight and having a talk with her," Jonah said. "I really appreciate it."

"No problem! Before I go, I want to get someone a stuffie. Do you have a bunny or maybe an elephant?" he asked.

At first, he wasn’t going to get anything, but stopping here and looking, he knew he couldn’t go home without getting one.

“Yes! We just got an elephant stuffie in the other day!” Jonah said as he grabbed the elephant.

It was grey and looked really soft. “I’ll take it!”

Jonah rang him up quickly and he paid.
