Need air. Need it fast.

But why didn’t I just think of it sooner…

In a moment of inspiration, Kane had remembered that the three Littles all used a safety app that allowed them to search for one another’s location.

The moments that followed had been intense.

Kane had immediately called Katie. No answer.

Then Sydney. Denied again.

Then just as he was about to try Katie once more, Sydney called and thirty frantic seconds later, Kane knew exactly where Cassie was.

Café Sin.

It didn’t sound too appealing.

Kane knew the area. It wasn’t a good one. Certainly not the kind of place he would ever want Cassie to go venturing on her own.

The upside was that Kane knew some shortcuts in that area of town that he remembered from his days visiting the casinos and late-night joints in the vicinity.

One quick Uber and several sprinted side-alleys and wall-hops later, and Kane was nearly there.

Kane was desperate to see Cassie. He needed to ensure that she was safe and unharmed.

But beyond that, Kane was also incredibly angry. The rules between a Daddy Dom and his Little were there for a reason.

Ruleshadto be obeyed.

It was the only way that things could ever successfully work in the long term.

And by doing something so foolish as this, Cassie had broken pretty much every rule in one swoop.

Still, before Kane could confront Cassie, he had to find her.

‘One more push, let those lungs open up big man,’ Kane said, trying to capture the spirit of his old firefighting academy training marshal. ‘Quitters never win. And winners sure as hell don’t quit. Especially where there’s a fire involved.’

With his old training marshal’s words echoing in his ears, Kane made one final sprint and within no time found himself rapidly approaching the café.

It was every bit as grim as Kane imagined.

For a brief moment, Kane began to wonder whether he’d been in there before.

Maybe a late-night card game.

Perhaps an illegal roulette table or after-hours drinking den.

But he didn’t have long to consider it.

Making her way out of the café was none other than… Cassie.

‘Daddy!’ Cassie cried out, her voice trembling. ‘How did you find me?’

Cassie ran over at full speed and buried her head in Kane’s chest.

It felt good.

Kane breathed a huge sigh of relief as Cassie gripped her delicate hands around him. For a second, his anger as Cassie’s irresponsible behavior subsided.
