“What was the book?” he asked in a low voice, knowing what Roman liked to read.
“It’s calledThree Daddies for Teresa. Have you read it? It’s excellent. By CJ Bennett.”
“I haven’t. You enjoy books about ageplay?” he asked.
Could she be a Little?
There were some clues that pointed to it. But it was hard to tell.
“Well, I haven’t read any before, but I like this one. How do you know if you’re a Caregiver or a Little?”

“Wow. Déjà vu,” she muttered as she sat up, her hand on her chest.
“What did I tell you about coming in here on your own?”
“That I wasn’t allowed to do it.”
“So, why are you in here?” he yelled.
“Well. I didn’t really think you would catch me.”
Was she serious? His head was about to explode at her cavalier attitude.
