The Primal's Kitten

Chapter Twenty

I woke up, tangled in my blanket, my heart racing a mile a minute. “Motherfucker,” I grumbled and stuffed a pillow over my face to hide the frustrated groan I couldn’t suppress. I was finally ready to start my kink journey again, had met a really hot guy, and this is what my brain does? Rude! I rubbed my face and picked up my phone to see what time it was, only seven. Ugh. I looked over toward the other bed, finding Lish and Gavin still sound asleep. At least there was that, I worried that I might have made noise in my sleep and woke them up but it looked like I was in the clear. Phew! The room was a little on the warm side, so I decided to take a cool shower, washing and conditioning my hair before I got out and put some product in it before plopping it in an old t-shirt so it would curl better. Lish and Gavin were starting to rouse from their own slumber so I called down for some breakfast and coffee and went back to getting ready for the day while the two of them drug themselves into the shower. I couldn’t help but laugh, they both looked like they needed one, and a lot of strong coffee. 

By the time they were getting out of the shower, I had put moisturizer and primer on my face, just a thin layer of both to keep me from getting too glossy during the day if the rest of the place was as warm as our room. I smoothed lotion over my whole body and finally put on a little bit of makeup, just mascara and some eyeliner, not wanting to overdo it on the first day and regret it if I went into the pool tonight. Breakfast arrived and we all sat for a few minutes, just enjoying the coffee and the spread of food I had ordered. Everything was delicious and we smashed right through all of it before doing the last things we each needed to get ready for the day. Today was opening day and it was pretty quiet and chill until later in the afternoon, so I put on one of my new dresses, a pretty pale blue thing that fell to my mid-thighs, barely concealing the curve of my generous ass in the back. It had short puffy sleeves and a sweetheart neckline, making me feel extra little. I guess I had sort of known when I picked it out, huh? I paired it with cream thigh high socks and my pair of low-heeled mary jane’s. “Well look at you! I didn’t think you were capable of looking any more innocent than usual, and then you go and do something like this!” Lish laughed like she was funny and I lobbed a pillow at her as she worked on pulling her newly straightened hair into a high ponytail. Gavin gave me a grin but didn't say anything since he knew I would throw something heavier at him. Smart man. 

Once the three of us were ready, we grabbed our room keys and went to leave, though Lish suddenly remembered something and pushed me back into the room. “You brought your collar, right? You should start wearing it since everything will be in full swing in a few hours. I know you’ll want to go out on your own for classes, and I want to make sure none of the creeps thinks they can snag you since you’re unescorted and uncollared.” I had almost forgotten, but I raced to my bag and took the collar out, struggling for a moment before Gavin lifted my hair out of the way so I could get it on without trapping any of my curls under it or in the buckle. “Ah, there we go, perfection.” Lish grinned at me and we closed the door of the room before heading for the elevator. 

We walked around together for a few hours, popping in on various classes we all had wanted to go to, and then heading for the vendor room. It was loud with chatter and music, but the whole vibe was exciting to me. There were rows upon rows of artists and crafters selling their work so we took our time wandering through, picking out things here and there we might want and buying the few things we knew we couldn’t live without. Lish came away from the vendor hall with a new ball gag, a leather puppy mask, a body harness for herself and a matching one for Gavin, and a new studded paddle since her old one was starting to fall apart from use. Gavin had managed to sneak away to buy Lish a corset she had been looking at, and I took the bag, sandwiching it between my own so she would be none the wiser. The only things I had settled on that I couldn’t leave without were a fur flogger in a soft pale purple with a cream-coloured leather wrapped handle and a cream-coloured corset that was dotted with pink flower petals. The detail was so perfect, I just couldn’t pass it up, so I bought it. We stopped to get lunch and took it back to our room to relax and drop off our bags since it seemed the rest of the afternoon we would be apart, until the bottom’s buffet later in the evening. Once we were done with our food, I looked over the schedule again, checking which places I really wanted to go and if I had time. There was a primal talk and showcase that I knew I didn’t want to miss, so I grabbed my key, checked my purse, and grabbed a bottle of water before I left the room to find it. I was thankful to get there early enough to find a good seat, and settled myself in the middle of a row toward the center of the room, not wanting to make it difficult for anyone to get by me. 

The class started exactly fifteen minutes later, and I had been in such animated conversation with Clara, who had sat beside me, that I didn’t notice when Logan walked in and stood in the front chattering with various people. I noticed when I heard his voice fill the room from the mic clipped to his shirt though. s**t, I didn’t know he was a presenter. I sat happily and listened as he explained everything from the beginnings of primal play, to finding a partner, and even showed a few take-down techniques that were safe and easy to learn. I knew about halfway through that I was prey if my dreams hadn’t told me as much months ago. I was hooked, I wanted, I needed to be hunted, to be bitten and clawed and held under a strong body until I gave in and submitted. I wanted it all, the bruises, the marks, the blood. If I hadn’t been sure before, I was now. When the class was over, Logan stood around for a bit talking, but I slipped out and headed for a discussion meeting. Thankfully Gavin was there, though Lish was not, so we sat together and spent the next hour talking with other submissives about the dangers of the lifestyle we were involved in, how to spot fakes and predators, and so many other safety issues and things to be careful of. It gave me a lot to think about, though I knew a lot of it from Lish and Gavin having these talks with me too. 

With the discussion over, I decided to take a break from classes and went to the room that housed the Little’s playspace. I walked in a little timidly but was quickly enveloped by the excitement of several other Littles, pulled toward a bouncy house and unceremoniously dragged in. I only noticed once I was bouncing that it was Clara who had brought me in and I squealed in delight as we bounced off the walls and each other, crashing back and forth in a fit of giggles. We bounced around until we were both panting and climbed out to go sit on the side to catch our breath. Another woman came over and offered us both juice boxes and a bag of fruit snacks. “I saw you both jumping and thought you might need a snack! I’m Tammy, my Mommy runs the room and I help her by handing out snacks!” She giggled and pointed across the room where a middle-aged woman sat comfortably in a rocking chair, keeping an eye on the room. I grinned at Tammy and accepted my snack. “Thank you!” I barely managed that before I stuck the straw in my juice box and took a long sip. Once we were done, we tossed our empties in the trash and went to sit at one of half a dozen tables set up for coloring. I pulled one of the printed pages from the middle of the table and took up a pack of crayons, settling in to lose myself in the simple act of coloring. It was delightful to just do something so easy, so calming, and for the first time, I found myself in little space. 

I spent almost two hours in the Littles room, coloring and playing with dolls before I checked my schedule and decided I needed to go if I was going to meet Lish and Gavin for dinner before the bottoms buffet. I found them waiting for me outside the restaurant in the hotel, and soon after we were seated, I was spilling all the details of my afternoon. “I thought you looked a little flushed, must have been all that jumping.” Lish laughed a little and reached out to hug me. Gavin just grinned. “I wondered if you were a Little, you get that giggle and a spark in your eye over the smallest things. It’s adorable.” I laughed and lobbed my napkin at him playfully before we settled down to eat and chat about what they had been up to while we were all apart. Once dinner was over, and dessert had been enjoyed, I checked the time on my phone and we all decided to go catch a nap and some more downtime before the main event tonight. I had had an exciting day already and hadn’t realized how tired I had become so we headed for the room. I peeled my dress off and tucked it into a bag for dirty laundry and then climbed under my blanket while Lish and Gavin both set alarms so we’d have enough time to get ready. Within moments of the lights being out, I fell directly into a deep sleep, filled with wonder and excitement for what else I might learn about myself this weekend.
