Page 20 of Impressing Brett

I yank the covers off and sit up, facing him. “She can’t be. I’ve never seen her do anything Little.”

He smiles. “She compartmentalizes, Little lamb. Most participants in this lifestyle do. A few are lucky enough to spend the majority of their time in Little space, but most people don’t have the luxury or don’t need quite that much time regressed. Eve has an adult hat she wears at work and a Little hat she wears at home.”

I’m dumbfounded. I stare at him in shock. I wrack my brain and come up with nothing. I’ve never ever noticed a single hint that Eve enjoys age play. Is she that good at separating?

Brett reaches up and strokes the top of the teddy bear’s head, making me realize I’m clutching it against my chest. “You met Bear. Did he keep you company last night?”

I hold him tighter. After all, who the fuck cares now? “Yes,” I whisper. “What kind of name is Bear?”

He chuckles. “You’ll have to ask Eve. She named him. Do you have a special stuffed animal at home who normally sleeps with you?”

I nod. My God, he’s talking to me as if I’m four or five years old, and it feels so fucking good and so scary at the same time. “I have Banana.” My face heats at my admission.

“Is Banana a banana or a monkey?”

He gets it. I smile. “He’s a monkey.”

“I’d like to meet him someday.”

“I hope he’s safe. I hope all of them are safe,” I admit.

“Who are the others?” he asks gently.

“They’re dolls. Jasmine, Molly, and Priscilla.” If this man is bullshitting me, he’s going to ruin my life.

“I can’t wait to meet them.” He smiles, crawls onto the bed, and sits against the headboard. He pats his lap. “Come here, Little lamb. I think you need a hug.”

I keep Bear in my arms but climb onto his lap and lean against his chest.

He wraps his arms around me, and it feels so good. He kisses the top of my head. “I know you’re overwhelmed, and I’m sorry for that. It will take some time to wrap your head around this, but I’ll be right here for you if you’ll let me.”

I’m breathing heavily. What does that mean? I have a burning question that needs to be answered right now. I tip my head back. “Do you just see me as a needy Little girl who needs a Daddy to coddle her?”

He shakes his head. “No, Little lamb. I see your grown adult woman, too. I see her, and I’m crazy attracted to her. She’s a package deal with your Little, and your Little isn’t needy. She’s submissive. She craves a caregiver.”

I search his gaze, making sure he’s not lying to me. “You’re attracted to me?” I ask hesitantly.

“Very. Have been since I met you.”

“Then why didn’t you ever say something?”

“Because, in my heart, I’m also a Daddy, Lacy. I had no idea until last night you had a Little side. It would’ve been unfair of me to ask you out and pretend to be vanilla. I’ve tried it before. It’s not satisfying. I need a woman who likes to submit to me as my Little as well.”

Wow. Holy shit.

“I would love for that to be you.”

“Oh.”

He smiles.

My heart is racing. This is all happening so fast.

“Are you also attracted to me that way, Lacy?”

My eyes bug out. “Duh.”

He chuckles.
