“Yes,” Blaze agrees. “To keep track of how they are doing. However, we let that one slide because the Sub said she only wanted to tap out to use the restroom.”

“Must not have been doing a very good job if the Sub could even think,” Steel shakes his head. “We should do Dom lessons.”

“But then the fucker went into the Dark Room. There was a Sub waiting on a partner to play with, and she got unlucky with that fucker.”

Blaze is fuming as he types something.

“According to some watchers,” Steel says, moving to stand beside his brother. Instantly, Blaze calms. “He didn’t say a word to her before starting the scene. He didn’t know her safe word or her limits. He’s fucking banned. This is why we vet all of our members.”

“I thought new members weren’t even allowed to be in the scene rooms without another Dom?” I ask.

“They’re not,” Steel growls. “We need more security.”

“Maybe mentors?” I suggest. “I know many of the long-time members here just come to watch most of the time. Maybe you can use them to start mentoring new Doms. Or even use them as Alpha Doms who help keep an eye on things.”

“Damn, he’s full of ideas,” Blaze smiles. “Alright, added to the list of things to figure out.”

“Tomorrow is your night off,” Steel reminds me. “Am I right in assuming you won’t be coming to sit in with the Littles this time?”

I smile and shake my head.

“I think I’d rather stay home with my boy,” I answer.

“You’re good for him,” Steel says. “I think you’ll be the one to make him feel safe in this world again.”

“However,” Blaze adds, his smile gone. “I feel the need to warn you that if you hurt him, I’ll slit your throat.”

I nod, knowing he’s serious.

“If there comes a time where I’ve hurt him, you won’t have to worry about killing me. I’d walk myself right onto your blade.”

A few tense moments tick by before Blaze smiles and stands.

“Alright, now that that’s out of the way, I’m going to do my rounds.”

“How’s the Sub?” I ask as I follow them from the room.

“She’ll be okay,” Steel says. “She’s a little scared but says she just wants to regress, so I took her to the Little’s room.”

“Good. I hope that fucker didn’t ruin this place for her.”

“Hey, Uncle Taylor, want a chip?”

“No, thank you, little one,” I smile. “What are you doing out here?”

“I wanted to watch,” she nods to a Dom spanking a Sub. “It’s nice being on this end of a spanking.”

“You know the rules, Little Sarah,” Steel says. “You can be out here, but you have to stay at the bar unless you’re with a guardian.”

“I know, Sir,” she smiles. “But I seed you all coming and wanted to offer my snackie.”

“Very kind,” Blaze says. “Now, back to the bar or back to the room.”

With a pout, the little princess heads back towards the room.

“Littles are a handful,” Blaze sighs.

“What if your person turns out to be a Little?” I ask.
