“Little girl, when Daddy says something he expects you to obey.”
Angie’s lower lip dropped on a pout. “But I don’t need a nap.”
“Daddy decides what you need and don’t need. What you have to do is listen to Daddy and obey him. Understand? Or Daddy will need to get stricter.”
She sighed. Long and loud. “But what if Daddy is wrong?”
“Daddy is never wrong.”
She eyed him suspiciously. “Uh-huh. I don’t think I believe that. Do I really have to have a nap, Daddy?”
“Yes.”
He stood and drew back the blankets.
“I’m not gonna sleep.”
“You will. Climb into bed.” He drew open a bedside drawer. Turning, he saw that she hadn’t moved.
“All right, then,” he said.
Seems she needed more.
Sitting, he drew her over his lap and opened the back flap of her onesie to reveal her panties underneath.
“Daddy! What are you doing?” she cried, trying to wriggle off his lap.
He tightened his hold on her. “You’re not obeying Daddy. I gave you a warning. Now, you’re going to bed with a warm bottom.”
Nooo!
She kicked her feet and kept trying to slide off his lap but he held her tight.
His hand landed several times on her butt. She let out a screech, even though his smacks weren’t that hard or sore.
Stopping, he rubbed her bottom.
Okay, that wasn’t that bad at all. Was that all?
“How are you, baby? Green, yellow, or red?”
Drat. She wanted to say red but she was more of a green.
“Green,” she grumbled.
“Good to know.”
His hand landed again, over and over until she gave up trying to fight it. By the end her bottom was throbbing.
Jared sat her up on his lap, facing him. He rubbed her back until she settled. Then he drew her back, looking down at her.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
“Like I got my bottom spanked by Daddy,” she grumbled.
How did he think she felt?
“Are you angry at me?”
“What? No, Daddy. Why would I be?”
“Just checking,” he murmured. “I want you to know that Daddy always has your best interests at heart. Even though this doesn’t seem a serious infraction, one day it might be. One day, obeying Daddy might be a life or death situation. Okay?”
That was scary. But she knew he didn’t live a safe life. That was something she had to take into consideration.
Then again, she’d never really lived a safe life, had she?
Even when she tried to, it took a twist.
So she nodded. “I understand, Daddy.”
He gave her another hug and then tucked her into bed with Wally and Wallina. Then he placed a pacifier against her lips.
She frowned at him.
“Just try it,” he told her. “If you don’t like it, you don’t need to use it.”
Fine.
Opening her mouth, she took the pacifier into her mouth. It felt a bit weird, but she decided to go with it for a while.
After tucking her in, Daddy picked up a book that she hadn’t realized was in the bedside drawer.
She grew excited as she saw it was the latest Daddy Dom by CJ Bennett.
Awesome.
“Where is North?” she asked later that night as Jared held her hand and led her upstairs.
They’d had a simple dinner of grilled cheese.
If Rex was here they’d have had a feast. But she was all too aware that he wasn’t.
Where was he?
“He’ll be home soon,” Jared told her as they reached the top of the stairs.
Instead of leading her to her room, he stopped at the door next to hers.
His room.
He led her inside and into the bathroom. He handed her a toothbrush to get ready and she noticed that a number of her things were in here.
Things North had bought for her. Where was he? Was he trying to find Rex?
“I need some pajamas,” she said as they finished in the bathroom.
“Go into the closet, the right side is yours.”
Hers? What did that mean?
As she walked into the closet, she saw that one side was filled with clothes.
For her.
“Pajamas are in the third drawer down,” Jared stated.
Turning, she saw Jared behind her. “How? What?”
He shrugged. “North ordered you some more clothes.”
“I really didn’t need them and why are they in here?”
“Because this is where I want them to be. This is where I want you to be. Every night.”
Holy heck.
She’d moved into Jared Bartolli’s bedroom. This was a big step.
Was it too fast?
Well, this whole experience was crazy and quick. It wasn’t normal.
Not at all.
“Is there a problem?”
“Is it not too fast?” she asked.
“I know what I want, baby girl. And when I want something I go after it. Get dressed in your pajamas. Don’t think so much.”
Don’t think so much? Easier said than done. But she found herself getting into her pajamas and climbing into bed to wait for him.
He came to bed just dressed in pajama bottoms and a bare chest.
Damn that was hot.
Getting into bed with her, he drew her against his chest and just held her. Some of the tension she hadn’t realized she was holding released.
