My Little Heart

One

I stood facing the floor-to-ceiling windows of the large living room. The trees looked dark and spooky in the distance. With the waning gibbous providing hardly any light.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think I was in the middle of a cheesy horror movie. A bunch of young people in one big house in the middle of the woods. Sitting bait to a blood-thirsty, masked face killer.

The thought sent a chill up my spine and I put some distance between myself and the window.

I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the process and couldn't help but rub my arms self consciously. The white dress I wore was new and I kept overthinking how I appeared in it.

It was covered in dainty pink flowers and I wore a pink cardigan over that matched. My white ruffle socks peaked out from my Mary Jane pumps and my best friend assured me it all went together perfectly.

Speaking of my best friend.

"I'm sorry! The kitchen was packed." Kiara says as she approaches me with two glasses of bubbly champagne. Her boyfriend Henry followed close behind with a drink of his own.

I took a big swig of the champagne and hoped it would ease my nerves. There was no way I'd make it through this night without at least a buzz.

We were at a BDSM event that was thirty minutes away from home. The house it was being held at was basically a mansion. It sat at the top of a hill and even had its own little gazebo right outside front.

The house was filled with unfamiliar faces. There were people wearing collars and leashes, and some subtle leather outfits. Others looked more like me and dressed in little attire. It did comfort me to see people like myself, but I was too shy to get more involved.

"This could be the night for you! I feel it in my nuggets." Kiara squeals and takes a look around the crowded room.

"You don't have any nuggets...do you?" Henry says jokingly.

"I've got some big lucky nuggets."

"I'm kind of freaking out." I say and fiddle around with my Cinnamoroll bracelets.

I hadn't seen anyone that caught my eye. Any dominant looking person I noticed was already accompanied by a little.

I was excited, though. I'd been wanting to be in an environment like this more often.

"Hello, I don't believe we've met. I'm Lori and the host of tonight's event." A woman greets after approaching us three.

She had dark auburn hair and piercing hazel eyes. Her fair skin was free of any blemishes and she had lovely, dramatic makeup. She wore a black dress that hugged her well and heels that made her tower over me. And I was 5"6!

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kiara and this is my boyfriend Henry and my best friend Sage." Kiara responds and gestures to us both. "Your house is lovely! Thank you for allowing others to join."

She nods in satisfaction. "Are you all apart of the BDSM community? I'm assuming so. We don't normally get people who aren't."

"We are actually but this is our first BDSM event. Sage is a little and a submissive. Henry and I are...well, to be determined." She elbows Henry who follows in nervous chuckles.

I covered my giggle at that too because I'd hear their experimenting in the other room from time to time. Not on purpose!

"That's great to hear. We have a playroom set up for littles if you'd like to join them." Lori says and turns her attention to me.

I quickly shake my head at that. "I-I'm okay."

"She's really shy." Kiara says and squeezes my arm supportively.
