“Yeah? He works out every day. There’s an amazing gym here in the clubhouse, most of the members work out in,” Emilee said, wrinkling her forehead and tilting her head to the side. “Are you a chubby chaser? You don’t like fit men? Like you prefer a dad bod?” Mackenzie asked.
“Oh no! Not at all! It’s more like fit men don’t like me. I’m far from fit…”
“What?! You’re gorgeous!” Emilee countered.
“Yes, absolutely beautiful!” Mackenzie said. “And don’t let Uncle Sav hear you say otherwise. It’ll piss him off.”
“What will piss me off?” a deep voice asked from behind them. “And you know better than to use that kind of language, little girl.”
“Uncle Sav,” Mackenzie said without turning around. “You aren’t my Daddy, you can’t boss me around.”
“No, he’s not your Daddy, but I am,” another voice said. All three girls turned to see Arrow, Irish and Savage standing behind them.
“Uh oh,” Emilee said. “She shouldn’t have said that.”
It hadn’t taken Savannah long to realize that Makenzie said a lot of things she shouldn’t.
“You know how I feel about being disrespectful to any of your uncles,” Irish said. “Apologize right now and then go upstairs and wait for me.”
“I’m sorry, Uncle Sav,” Mackenzie said.
“But it’s not her fault!” Savannah said, suddenly feeling the need to cover for her new friend. “I was the one who said something wrong, and Mackenzie was correcting me.”
“Oh?” Irish came around to the front of the seating area and dropped to a squat in front of Savannah, so they were at eye level. “Did you tell Mackenzie to use a curse word?”
Savannah shook her head.
“I didn’t think so. Did you instruct her to be disrespectful to Savage?”
“No, but… she wasn’t really being disrespectful, was she? I mean, Savage isn’t her Daddy, or her boss and she was just being informative.”
“Informative?” Irish repeated. All three of the large men laughed. “Since you are new here, and don’t know any better, I can understand where you are coming from. All of the men in here identify as a Daddy Dom. Not all of them are into DDlg, some have submissives instead of littles. Regardless, we all look out for each other and each other’s partners. That means enforcing the rules and even, at times, correcting another member’s woman. Savage willinformyou of the rules and the consequences of breaking them while you are staying here.” Irish stood and looked at Mackenzie. “Why are you still down here, little girl?”
When Mackenzie didn’t move, Irish started counting. “One, two…”
Mackenzie let out a squeal and jumped to her feet before he got to three. She took off quickly, running towards the stairs.
“Walk!” Savage called out to her.
Savannah watched as Mackenzie slowed down. She shook her head. What exactly had she gotten herself into?
CHAPTER 6
SAVAGE
Savage turned his attention back to Savannah, his expression unreadable as he studied her. She was a conundrum. He’d met her at a little playdate, but if he didn’t know any better, he’d wonder if she knew anything at all about the lifestyle. She was sweet and innocent, and if he didn’t approach her carefully, he’d ruin her.
“Let's let them talk,” Arrow said to Emilee.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to go–” Savannah protested.
Arrow looked at Savage, they exchanged looks, Savage letting him know with a raised eyebrow and a slight head tilt that he’d appreciate the alone time. He needed to speak with Savannah about the rules she would follow while staying there.
In a firm but calm voice, Arrow said to Emilee, “Come with me, Em.”
Emilee accepted Arrow’s outstretched hand and stood, giving Savannah an encouraging nod and a slight smile as Arrow led her away.
“See you at dinner!”
