chapter 4

JACE

Jace sat behind his desk and scanned the three large

screens that hung on the walls of the office he shared with

his partner and best friend, Zane.

After one of their friends’ Littles was attacked outside of

the club by a fake Daddy a few months prior, as well as an

incident with a different creep in the bar a couple of

months before that, Jace and Zane decided they needed to

make the club a safer place for everyone, most importantly,

vulnerable Littles and subs.

Now the club was even busier than usual for a Saturday

night. It had been busier ever since they’d reopened after

closing down for a month to make some changes. The

month they’d closed down had been spent reviewing their

memberships, interviewing all members who identified as a

Top, whether they were a Daddy, Mommy, Dom, Domme, or

anything else they identified as.

They now had more security cameras in place that

played live feeds from every angle of the club except the

private rooms, as well as the parking lots and streets

surrounding the building. They even hired someone to sit

and monitor the live feeds the entire time the club was

open in the event that Jace or Zane weren’t in their office

watching it themselves.

Closing the club and interviewing its members proved to

be a positive experience. The men had expelled a dozen or

so members they’d felt didn’t take the term safe, sane, and

consensual seriously, but they’d also gotten to know a lot of

their members much better, and those trusted members

had seemed to start bringing in their friends to try out the

club.

“Hey. Busy night,” Zane said.

Jace looked up from the screens and nodded. He hadn’t

even heard his friend come into the office.

“Very busy. Everything good?” Jace asked.

Zane nodded. “Yeah. Just came to check on you. You

good?”

“Yep. I’ll be out soon.”

His friend studied him for a few seconds before nodding

his head and leaving the office. Slumping back in his chair,

Jace ran his hand over his face. He loved the club and being

in business with his best friend, but being out in the club

and seeing many men whom he considered friends having a

good time with their Littles was a stark reminder of what

they didn’t have.

He knew Zane was lonely, too, but it didn’t seem to

bother him as much as it did Jace. Of course, there were

always single Littles at the club who wanted Jace and Zane

to Daddy them together because that’s what they did. They

always shared their women. Whether it was a one-time

thing or an ongoing relationship, they shared. The few

times they’d tried to be with a woman solo, it had never felt

right.

Unfortunately, once the women actually experienced

having two strong Daddies watching over them and

realizing they had very little leeway or breathing room, the

relationships never worked out. Apparently, for some

women, there was such a thing as too much attention.

Fast movement on one of the screens caught his eye.

Looking at the screen, Jace realized it was in the Littles area and his friend, Ian, and one of the room monitors had

rushed over to a couple of Littles that were sitting at the

dollhouse. Ian’s Little, Maddie, who could be quite a

handful at times, seemed to be in tears while the other

Little who he’d never seen before was sitting cross-legged

with her arms crossed over her chest and a scowl on her

face.
