As we headed to the door of No Limits, we were joined by another daddy and little, who I recognized but couldn’t put a name to. We all took the breathalyzer test and handed over our phones.
“Big Jake. This is my daddy, and we’re going to go play in the Littles Room.” Joey smiled widely.
The big biker-looking bouncer patted Joey’s head. “Glad to see you in better spirits, buddy. Have fun and stay safe.” I’d seenthe bouncer around but didn’t realize Joey knew him on a first-name basis. This truly was my little’s environment. I waved at Jake as I followed Joey, who skipped down the hallway side-by-side with Levi and the other little they’d picked up.
Inside the room, the boys set up a large carpet with a city map on it, and each picked cars from a bucket. While the three of us daddies watched from the side.
“Hey, I’m Lee, by the way.” He pointed to his boy. “That’s Danny. We were at your party. Don’t know if you remembered us.”
“Oh, that’s where I’ve seen you. Yes.” I recognized the names now as well. “Good to see you again.”
“We don’t get out here much anymore, but Danny really wanted to play with his friends and cut loose a bit.” Lee had dark, professionally cut hair and wore a nice vest over a T-shirt with black denim pants. He seemed friendly. “They all know each other. Danny works at Drew’s law firm, and he’s good friends with Levi and Skyler. I think they’re friends with the pups, too. I’d bet they’re all in that room, since it was recently added.” He waved his hand toward the hall.
“Pups?”
“Larry’s boy is a pup,” Hudson said with a large grin. “Didn’t you know that?”
“He called him that before, but I don’t think I know what that means.” I would have been pulling it up on my phone, but we’d had to give them up at the door. I liked that policy, but it was inconvenient now.
Hudson had it covered, though. “Like our boys pretend to be younger, age regression and all that.” We’d talked at length about the littles and the dynamics associated with them. But pups? “So, the pups like pet play. Todd’s pup name is Sunshine, and they put on collars and masks to play together like pups.”
Lee nodded. “That’s right. And the three of them are like brothers.”
“Three?”
“Yeah, Todd, Royce, and Jax.”
“Jax? Do you mean Jaxson Hoadley?”
Hudson chuckled. “Yep. That’s the one. He’s Jay or Jay-Jay and Royce is Boon.”
“I’m so confused.”
“With what?” Hudson asked.
I shrugged. “Who everyone is mostly.”
Hudson clapped my shoulder. “Keep hanging out with us and you’ll get to know everyone.”
Our boys hadn’t paid one bit of attention to us and our conversation. They were racing cars. Joey jumped up and yelled. “My daddy races cars. He knows how to go super-fast.”
Lee looked over at me. “I thought I heard something like that. You race?”
“No.” I shook my head. “I’m retired, but I won last year’s Formula One championship. That’s behind me now.”
“Nice.” Lee shook my hand again. “Way to go out on top.”
Joey had dropped back to his knees and continued playing with his friends. They probably would have kept it up all night, but nearly half an hour later, Hudson checked his watch. “Well. I have a room to get to. Levi. Time to go.” While Levi jumped up excitedly, the other two groaned and begged for more time. “There’s always next time, guys. Levi, are you going to help clean up?”
Levi turned back, grabbed a handful of toy cars and dropped them in a bucket. The others did the same, and when everything was picked up, Danny ran over to Lee. “Can we go back out? I want to dance with Skyler.”
“Yep.” Lee kissed his boy on the top of the head. “See you guys later.” He waved and walked Danny out the door.
Hudson and Levi went the other way down the hall to their reserved room, and Joey slid up to my side, fitting under my arm. “What are we doing next?”
“What do you want to do? I didn’t know I needed to reserve a room.”
He shrugged. “I don’t care. Let’s dance and have a drink. My friend Tucker should be here by now. Then after midnight we can go home and play as long as we want.” He wiggled his eyebrows.
