chapter 5

Ash

Ash opened his front door to find his brothers, Hawk

and Angel, standing on his doorstep.

“Come on, asshole, let’s go,” Hawk said gruffly.

Rolling his eyes, Ash grabbed his leather jacket from

the coat rack and his keys from the entryway table and

stepped out of the house. It was warm enough that he didn’t

put the jacket on, but it would cool down later in the

evening.

It was Saturday night, and they were heading to

Shadows, the nightclub that their brother Maddox owned.

They went most Saturday nights, and this weekend, Ash was

hoping to find an unaccompanied Little in the club to play

Daddy to for the night.

Even though he wasn’t a long-term kind of guy,

seeing his brother Knox with his new woman who was also a

Little had been making Ash ache for that kind of connection.

Only for one night, though. That was all he could commit to.

It was all he wanted. And it had been months since he’d

been with anyone, for reasons that he didn’t even know.

His dry streak needed to come to an end, and he

hoped to end the night balls deep inside an adorable woman

who would call him Daddy and let him completely dominate

her in bed.

It wouldn’t be the same as what Knox had with Addie,

and if Ash were honest with himself, seeing the connection

that they had made him feel a little bit jealous, but he knew

that kind of relationship just wasn’t for him.

Ash, Hawk, and Angel climbed into his burgundy 1969

Dodge Charger and headed toward the club. The rest of his brothers would meet them there. Well, all of them except for

Knox, who was skipping out on going to the club so he could

spend time with Addie. She was turning his brother soft. But

he didn’t mind. Addie was adorable, and she seemed

perfect for Knox.

“You assholes are finding your own ride home

tonight,” Ash said as he drove.

Hawk laughed and nodded, knowing what Ash was

implying. They were all single, except for Knox, and because

of the way they all lived their lives, they kept it that way. A

couple of his brothers had ongoing casual relationships at

times, but Ash didn’t like to have anything more than just

one night with a woman.

“Damn, always ditching us for something cuter,”

Angel said with a smirk.

Ash flipped him off and grinned.

“Until you’re wearing pigtails and calling me Daddy,

you’re damn straight,” Ash replied.

Angel grimaced, “I’d rather fucking die.”

They all burst out laughing at the image of big,

tattooed Angel wearing a dress with his hair in pigtails. Ash

loved that they could all tease each other the way that they

did. The men he called his brothers were his best friends,

and he would do anything for them. It was a connection that

he knew was rare, even with blood siblings.

“Honestly, seeing Knox with Addie is making me

question my decision to be single,” Hawk said.

Looking over at him, Ash studied his brother. Hawk

was only a year older than Ash but years wiser. Hawk was

more serious and much more reserved.

“You’re going soft on me, brother? What the fuck?”

Ash asked.

Hawk shrugged, “I’m just saying. Seeing how much

Addie adores Knox and looks at him like he hung the moon

and stars for her and how happy Knox seems now, it’s giving me second thoughts. Making me realize that I’m

lonely.”

Looking at Angel through the rearview mirror, Ash

could see that Angel was just as surprised by Hawk’s

statement as he was.

Ash drove through the streets of Seattle, looking out

at the city he loved, thinking about what Hawk had said. His

brother wasn’t wrong. Knox was incredibly happy, and Addie

was the sweetest addition to their family. He knew there

was a big difference between a woman calling him Daddy

while he was fucking her and a Little calling him Daddy

while he was taking care of her. And for some reason, the

vision of him taking care of a Little filled his mind and gave

him a warm feeling inside.

Don’t even start thinking about shit like that.

After parking his car in one of the VIP parking spots

that were in the front of the club just for him and his

brothers’ classic cars, Ash, Hawk, and Angel nodded to the

bouncer as they walked into the club.

It was nearly nine, and the club was already packed.

The men made their way toward their usual table, where

Colt and Wolf were already sitting. Wolf stood and grinned at

them, slapping each man on the back as he hugged them.

“Beau and Maddox are on their way,” Wolf said.

Nodding his head, Ash surveyed the club, searching

for one of the single Littles who he’d hooked up with before.

It would make it easier if he ran into someone he knew.

Someone who knew what to expect from him and wouldn’t

make it awkward when it was over.

Ash and his brothers were all tall, muscular men with

tattoos. He knew they were all intimidating, which came in

handy when they had a job to do but when they are trying

to meet an innocent Little to play with, their scariness could

sometimes create challenges. Sure, they always had women

flocking to them when they were at the club, but they

weren’t usually the type of women that they wanted.
