‘Okay, yeah, we’ll talk later,’ I say, climbing out of Harrison’s SUV with a shy smile on my face. ‘Thank you. I… well, is it right to say I enjoyed that?’
‘No judgement from me,’ Harrison replies, a warm smile on his face. ‘And hopefully you won’t judge me when I say that I definitely enjoyed it.’
‘Don’t worry, I could tell,’ I giggle, feeling every inch like a flirty college student, despite the fact that I’m a twenty-six year old construction guy and built like an absolute unit. ‘Anyway… talk later.’
With that, I walk away from Harrison’s SUV and feel a glow come over me – and not just on my still warm ass either!
I can’t quite get my head around what just happened.
I guess that is what a real spanking feels like?
At first, I think I was way too in my head and uptight. I mean, I was definitely excited by the whole thing, there’s no doubting that. But I think I was way too conscious of protecting myself and not opening up to what was really happening.
I know that I’m a Little, and in truth I’ve known that for a long time.
But I’m still so new to the whole Little experience that I just haven’t experienced enough of it to know exactly how everything should feel and how I should be responding.
Luckily for me though, I think I might just have stumbled across a great Daddy in the shape of Harrison. While he might be a bigtime businessman who’s used to closing deals and making tough choices, I saw after the spanking that he definitely has a sensitive side too.
As he was rubbing the cooling cream into my sore as hell butt, Harrison made sure to ask lots of questions about how I was feeling – and even better, I could tell that he was truly listening to my responses too.
I’ve read online that some so-called Daddies only do the whole aftercare thing because they think they should. But instinctively I could tell that Harrison was doing it because it was what he wanted to do.
Anyway, I need to get my head back in the game now.
There will be plenty of time to think about Harrison – or should that be Daddy? – later. Right now I need to find Xander and ask him what I need to be doing for the rest of the day.
I might just have had my butt heated up in the back of a two hundred thousand dollar SUV, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m the newest member of the Blue Collar Boys.
My life is all about hard work and pushing my body to its limits.
I need to haul ass and get my butt into gear – I just hope that I don’t have to use any machinery that requires me to sit down!
* * *
The rest of my first day working with the Blue Collar Boys went super-well. And so too did the rest of the week, in fact.
I’m used to working hard, and I just love the fact that this is the ethos with the Blue Collar Boys too. I know from having worked in a crew of Daddies that sometimes Littles get a reputation amongst Daddies for being overly frivolous or easily distracted – but I always knew that this was a stereotype.
Sure, there probably are Littles who don’t like to work hard – but this is true of any kind of person from any walk of life too.
Anyway, I’m glad to be surrounded by a bunch of likeminded people. And what’s even better is that I think I’ve started to make friends with the members of the crew too.
It’s been a whirlwind of a first week, and I’m not even talking about the situation that’s developing with Harrison.
After the spanking, I must have walked back down to the rest of the crew with a super-obvious and guilty look on my face. I tried to act as naturally as I could, but it became quite clear from the friendly banter and giggles that everyone had worked out exactly what had gone on between me and Harrison.
Luckily, I could see that no one minded – and Xander even playfully teased me that he was going to put me on the forklift truck for the rest of the day.
Fortunately, for both me and my red-hot ass, I was given a series of tasks that kept me on my feet the whole time. To say I was thankful for that would be an understatement, that’s for sure.
Once my first day was done, I felt like this could be a good fit.
And so it proved to be over the rest of the week.
But now it’s Saturday morning, and I’ve got a playdate with my friend Nicky at Morning Milk .
It’s my first ever playdate and I have to admit that I do feel a bit nervous about what to expect. It’s not that I don’t think I’m going to have a good time, because I know that me and Nicky get on great.
But…
Just like with the spanking, this feels like a brand new thing that I’m doing. I’m stepping into the unknown and I don’t feel confident that I’ll do the right thing or feel the right way.
I mean, I think I know what to expect from the playdate, but until I actually get there and see for myself I suppose I’m not going to know for sure. So, the only answer seems to be that I need to finish off my breakfast, get changed, and head on down there – at least this time I won’t need Nicky to give me directions!
* * *
‘Yay! I’m so happy you made it,’ Nicky says, a big smile on his face. ‘I mean… you didn’t have me to guide you this time, so…’
‘Hey, I wasn’t that lost,’ I say, stepping over toward Nicky in the entrance lobby. ‘So… where do we do it?’
‘You mean the playdate?’ Nicky giggles, looking very cute in his red t-shirt and matching short. ‘We’re already doing it! Just hanging out, being us, that’s the playdate.’
‘Oh, okay,’ I reply, a little embarrassed. ‘I’m new to all this.’
‘That’s totally cool,’ Nicky says, smiling warmly. ‘Come on, let me show you to the new toy room. They’ve got some brand new stuffies, and some special toy trains for them all to fit into. You’ll love it!’
With that, the pair of us walk through into the toy room.
Right away, I feel myself feel all warm and tingly inside. From the brightly colored wallpaper and matching fluffy carpet right down to the fun nursery rhyme music playing, this is exactly what I’d imagined.
But even better than the décor, the toy trains and stuffies look incredible…
‘Come on, let’s dive right in!’ Nicky squeals, running over to the pile of new stuffies and immediately taking a red squirrel and plopping him down in one of the trains. ‘Choo-choo! We’re going to Squirrelville!’
Nicky’s enthusiasm is infectious and I run over toward the stuffies.
‘They all look like so much fun, which one do I pick?’ I say, casting my eyes over an array of bears, otters, dinosaurs, penguins, and even what looks like an alien.
‘Pick more than one, it’s not like you’re choosing your Forever Friend,’ Nicky giggles. ‘Hey, try this one for starters.’
Nicky hands me a purple and yellow zebra with a huge mohawk style fluffy haircut. Instinctively, I bring him in for a big squeeze and feel myself breathe a huge sigh of relief.
‘Feels good, doesn’t it?’ Nicky says, happily pushing his squirrel around in the train. ‘And when you find your Forever Friend, it’s just even better!’
‘And have you found yours?’ I say, taking the zebra and making him trot along the floor as I too get on all fours.
‘Yes, his name’s Boost and he’s the sweetest little dolphin in the world,’ Nicky says. ‘Boost’s at home today drying off after we had too much fun in the bath last night!’
‘ Hehe , sounds awesome,’ I giggle.
We start to play together and before long our two stuffies are conducting the entire collection around the room. It’s so much fun, and exactly the kind of activity that I’ve always dreamed of doing again since becoming an adult.
‘I want my milk now,’ Nicky says a little later, sitting on his butt and giving the squirrel stuffie a cuddle. ‘I’m thirsty.’
‘Me too. I want my milk,’ I say, feeling myself regressing and allowing myself to simply go with it rather than try to analyze what’s happening. ‘Where can we get our milk?’
‘Don’t worry. Milkies are coming,’ Nicky grins at the sight of a member of staff called Celeste walking in with two bottles of warm milk for us. ‘Yay!’
‘Yay!’ I say, blushing a little as the staff member hands me the milk, but not feeling myself coming out of Little Space. ‘ Fank youuu .’
‘Now you two be good boys and drink your milk,’ Celeste says. ‘And then take yourselves off for a nap under the blankets in the corner. I think after all that playing you both need a rest.’
‘Yes, Celeste,’ we both say in unison. ‘We will!’
Celeste smiles warmly and walks out of the room.
I look over to Nicky and see that he is already holding the bottle in both hands and happily glugging the milk down.
Without a second thought, I do the same as Nicky. The second the milk hits my tongue I feel myself sinking deeper into my happy place.
With the warm milk trickling down my throat, I feel safe, secure, and a little bit sleepy too.
‘I… tired,’ I say, a little dribble of milk at the corner of my mouth.
‘Me… too,’ Nicky replies. ‘Come on, follow me.’
I watch as Nicky crawls on all fours toward the big pile of bean bags and blankets in the corner. Without hesitation, I crawl behind him and snuggle up on top of two purple bean bags, my body sinking into their warm embrace as I pull up a patchwork quilt.
‘I’m having fun,’ I say, smiling to myself as I pull the blanket right up to my eyes. ‘Can we be… friends?’
I glance over to Nicky and see that he’s already half-asleep, but still awake enough to respond to me though…
‘Yay! Of course,’ Nicky replies. ‘I think we’re going to be friends forever. Now all we need to do is help you find your Forever Friend stuffie.’
‘I’d like that,’ I reply, beginning to doze off.
‘Try and dream about him,’ Nicky says, his eyelids drooping as he snuggles deeper into the beanbag. ‘And when you wake up you can te…. te… tell…’
Nicky drops off to sleep and I feel my eyes shutting too.
This might have been my very first playdate, but I know in my heart of hearts that it’s just the beginning.
After a great first week at work and now a wonderful playdate with my new BFF Nicky, I’m feeling like Los Torros might just be the place where I truly settle down.
Now all I need to do is work out where Harrison fits into all of this – and most importantly, whether he could actually be my Daddy…
