Finn slips the sneaker off my left foot and whistles. ‘That’s one helluva sprain,’ he says. ‘Keep it elevated. I’ll get something cold.’
He goes over to the kitchen and I hear him rummaging around in the freezer. It’s sweet of him to go to all this trouble to look after me. But… if not him — then who?
He returns holding a bag of frozen peas, and holds it to my ankle. ‘Sorry,’ he says. ‘Bit cold.’
I grit my teeth together, trying not to scream. I’ve done more than enough of that lately, and I don’t want to become Little Miss Screamy in his mind. Not that I carewhathe thinks of me, of course. Not when he’s treated me so badly.
God, I’m confused.
‘I’m going to need to take a look at those other injuries too. Your knees look like they’re bleeding quite a lot. You’re going to have to take off your jeans.’
My blood runs cold. He wants me to take my jeans off? I’m wearing a diaper underneath.
‘I-I can’t take them off,’ I stammer. He gives me a look that’s hard to describe.
‘I’ve seen your legs before, darlin’. And I assume you’re wearing underwear? It’s not exactly X-rated. Imagine you’re at the beach, in a bikini. With a wrenched ankle and bloody knees.’
Those big blue eyes, they look so tender, not at all judgmental. Could I show him who I really am? Could I open up to him?
‘That’s exactly the problem,’ I say, ‘I’m not.’
‘Not what?’
‘Wearing underwear.’
His face twitches. ‘Look, I’m a grown-up. I’ve seen it all before. I just want to make sure you’re OK, nothing funny. Just imagine I reallyama doctor.’
I imagine Finn probing me, rubbing cream into me, making me all… slippery.
‘Finn,’ I say, taking hold of his hand. ‘Just promise me you won’t laugh, OK?’
He looks deadly serious. ‘Of course not.’
I unbutton my jeans. The diaper I’m wearing today is covered with rambunctious little tigers and rhinos. It’s not even medical-looking. There’s no way I can just tell him I suffer from incontinence or something. With a deep, terrified sigh, I pull down my jeans. Finn keeps his eyes on my ankle, but, just for a moment, he looks up.
‘Addy,’ he says, his voice full of emotion, ‘is that…?’
I nod. I don’t know what to say. It’s the most humiliating moment of my life. An incredibly sexy man is looking straight at my diaper. A man whose interest in me must be diminishing by the second.
‘It’s… really cute.’
My heart skips a beat. ‘You think so?’
‘I think it suits you, baby girl.’ His voice is all gruff and bear-like. I can’t believe he’s being so nice about this. ‘Now let’s take a look at that foot, darlin’.’ Finn takes hold of my pants, and pulls them down over my feet.
‘Ow, ow, ow,’ I say, as he pulls them over my ankle. It feels so swollen and the jeans feel tight coming off, but Finn manages, and he puts the frozen peas back over the injury. ‘That cold is starting to sting.’
‘Good,’ he tells me gruffly. ‘That means it’s working.’ His bedside manner could certainly use a few tweaks.
‘I can’t believe you’re not freaked out by… you know.’
He pauses for a moment. ‘You know, I had a feeling about you, that you might be a little special. I thought you had Little tendencies, but I gotta admit, I didn’t realize you wear diapers.’
‘You know about Littles?’ I say, stunned beyond belief.
‘Darlin’, I’m a Big.’ He shakes his head. ‘This is all making sense now. I told your sister when she stayed with me. We were talking about relationships and I told her I’ve struggled to find anyone. Then I thought — fuck it, I’ll tell her. So I did. Obviously, that’s why she sent you here. So you could stay with someone who’d be understanding.’
Itdoesall make sense now. Damn, Vee, you’re a sneaky little minx. Now that Finn knows, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
