“I don’t want to leave.” Piper spoke to her toast so softly that Cat would have missed it if she wasn’t so tuned in to the other woman.
“That’s good news,” Cat said quietly and gently, feeling almost like she was coaxing a scared animal out from under a rock. “Does that mean you’d be willing to discuss things a little bit more?”
“I think so? But how do you know I’m the one you want? You don’t even know me.”
“Well, truth be told, we don’t know,” Sam offered after being silent for a while. “Just like you don’t know if you would want us. We can spend some time getting to know each other. We’re just getting started and making sure the interest is there.”

Piper took a bite of toast so she didn’t have to talk for a second. Not that she had said much the entire morning, but she felt like she was supposed to say something. She didn’t know what she was supposed to say, but she should say something. Her feelings were jumbled and overwhelmed, and her nerves were completely shot. What would Kay say to her in that moment? She didn’t have to think about it long; she knew exactly what Kay would say.
What do you have to lose at this point? If these people don’t expect sex from you, then why not at least give it a shot?
“If not sex, then what do you get out of an arrangement like this?”
“BDSM is not all about sex. Catherine and I both get an immense gratification from taking care of others.”
“Our job makes it possible to help so many people, but I’ve been feeling like something was missing for a while now. I want a Little of our own,” Catherine added.
“I’m just learning about being a Little.”
“That’s completely fine,” Catherine assured her.
“Will you tell us a bit more about what you came to the Ranch seeking?” Sam asked again.
In for a penny, in for a pound, Piper thought. Taking a deep breath, she started at the beginning and told the couple everything. From how she found kink to how she made her way to the Ranch. She told the entire messy story, and when she was done, she felt like she needed a nap.
“Oh, honey.” Cat reached across the table and covered her hand with hers. “You should have never been made to feel like you are too much. That man should be castrated.”
The words sounded funny in Cat’s kind tone and Piper giggled.
Sam and Catherine both smiled at her and her heart warmed. It felt nice to have them look at her like she had done something to please them. Her tummy danced and her heart rate sped up.
“You have an adorable laugh,” Sam complimented.
“Thank you.” She felt her cheeks warm in embarrassment. She’d never been good at taking a compliment.
“So, you essentially came here to dip your toes back into the lifestyle,” Sam restated.
“Yes. I wanted to be able to play and have sex as a hard limit and not have to worry about a relationship. Kay said if I came here, I would learn what the lifestyle is really about and meet really good people.”
“You mentioned Kay before, who is she to you?”
“She’s my best friend. We’ve been friends since second grade. I kept my secret from her for a lotta years. I was such a goody two-shoes growing up, and I wasn’t sure I wanted anyone to know. When things went bad, I was too embarrassed to talk about it, but now she knows and she understands a lot because she’s a Switch. She never told me either because she was afraid I wouldn’t accept her. We were both silly.”
“Well, I’m glad you both have it all ironed out now. It can be hard to know who to talk to about this stuff. Sam and I are open with our families and now that our kids are grown, they know where we work and all of that, but some people aren’t as lucky as us.”
Piper nodded. She could see herself opening up with her girls about things maybe later on down the road, but in that moment, just the thought of it made her want to puke.
“It’s getting close to the time we have to get to work,” Sam reminded them.
Piper looked at the clock. “I’m supposed to meet Sadie and some other Littles out on the playground after breakfast.”
“You are? Well, that sounds like fun.”
“And trouble,” Sam interjected. “Be careful of that one, she can take the most innocent Little and turn them into a bonafide brat.”
He laughed, but the words still twisted in her stomach. She liked Sadie a lot and wanted to be friends with her, but maybe it was a bad idea.
