“These?” He held up a pair with some soft fluff on the inside of the cuffs.

She shrugged and nodded.

Salem picked up a ball gag next and watched the way she shook her head.

Right. Definitely a no.

Interesting.

Next, he moved to the pet play area. He grabbed a pair of puppy ears that were attached to a headband. There was also a matching tail that you secured to an anal plug.

“These are cute. Similar in color to Atlas.”

She shook her head again. There was a small blush on her cheeks.

“No, my pet?” he murmured. “You like to be patted and coddled as my pet, but you don’t think you’d like to look the part? Perhaps get a doggy bed? A cage?”

He was pushing her. Maybe harder than he should.

And to his surprise, she raised her thumb to her mouth and started sucking.

Shock held him still. He really hadn’t been expecting that reaction. And the way her eyes widened told him that she hadn’t consciously intended to do that.

“Maybe this isn’t quite right, hmm?” Perhaps they needed to spend some more time together as Pet and Sir to figure out exactly how that dynamic would work best for them. He put those things back. He’d told her that she didn’t need them to be his pet, and he’d meant it.

Then he walked over to her, cupping the side of her face with his hand. “It’s all right. You don’t have to worry. I won’t do anything that makes you uncomfortable. Perhaps I’ll push sometimes, but you can always use your safeword, understand?”

She nodded and he tapped her hand. “Would you like a pacifier instead of sucking your thumb? Sucking your thumb can be unhygienic.”

Salem pushed the trolley into the baby and toddler area. They were getting closer to the clothes, but he wanted to see how she reacted to the things in this aisle.

“Ahh, here we go. Some pacifiers. Do you see anything you like?”

She shook her head.

But he caught her studying the pacifiers. He reached out for one with a puppy face on the front of it and held it out to her.

She drew her thumb out of her mouth. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know how you feel about it?” he asked.

Tamsyn nodded. “I don’t think I’m a baby. But then, I didn’t expect to suck my thumb either. It just felt right.”

“You don’t have to be a baby to suck your thumb or use one of these. Older Littles do that too. For comfort, for sleep. Sucking on something can just help you shut off from the world. I have another idea for something you can suck on . . . and I just realized how much I sound like Alexei right now.” He shook his head in mock-horror and she giggled.

“Oh, I know what Papa would like me to suck.”

“Don’t encourage him. So let’s give the pacifier a go. And maybe a bottle before naps. And a sippy cup for other times. As well as some plates and cutlery. They have a lot in this range.” Everything he chose had images of a brown and white dog on it.

“Um, Daddy?”

“Yes?”

“Don’t you think you’re going a bit overboard? You’re gonna be broke by the end of this trip.” Her eyes were wide as she watched him add more things to the cart.

He shook his head. “Don’t worry about money. That’s my job, not yours.”

“I’m not sure that’s true. If you run out of money, I’m out of a job.”
