“I’ll be fine, Daddy. You said running in wolf form will come naturally. You said I won’t have any trouble.”
He chuckled. He had said that. Too late to pretend otherwise now. Besides he would never be in the habit of telling Amber fibs.
“I haven’t met all the Alphas or their mates yet. I can’t even remember everyone from the first day when we got here. I only saw them for a few minutes. You didn’t even introduce me to most of them. And it’s important for me to know Thorn and Surge. You said so yourself.”
He nuzzled his nose against hers. “Must you remember every single thing I say?” he teased.
She giggled. “Yes. It’s my duty as your mate. My mother taught me to listen closely and remember your likes and dislikes so I could prepare your favorite meals and maintain your home to your satisfaction. Since you don’t let me do any of those things, I’m going to grow quite bored. I need a new focus.”
She sat taller on his lap. She was making the sassiest argument in the history of arguments, and she was doing so while continuing to rock her clit against him.
Toying with the neckline of his T-shirt, she pasted on a fake, exaggerated serious expression and continued, “It’s my duty, Daddy. It would be impolite if I didn’t learn all your pack members’ names and their mates. Plus the bears. How can I possibly help out if I haven’t done everything in my power to memorize their faces with their names?” Her voice was beyond silly. She wasn’t even trying to sound believable.
Isaac started laughing. He couldn’t help himself. And the fact that he could never keep a straight face when his Little mate was sassy like this was exactly why she was able to climb all over him, literally and figuratively. The naughty girl had started this conversation by crawling up onto his lap so she could make her case while distracting him with her soaked panties.
She pushed her bottom lip out and cocked her head to the side. “How about if you go ahead and spank me now. That way I’ll have the reminder while we’re at the meeting. Maybe if my bottom is sore, it will help me behave. Sort of like a preemptive punishment.”
He laughed harder. “You are the naughtiest Little girl I’ve ever met. I can’t decide if you were born like this or if I’ve been too soft on you and turned you into a conniving Little thing.”
She giggled, which only wrapped him even tighter around her finger. “Daddy…”
It was time to turn the tables. “I’ll make you a deal.”
She narrowed her eyes skeptically.
“I’ll sink my teeth into your tender neck before we leave so that you’re well and truly marked for everyone to see. If you’re a good girl at the meeting, I’ll paddle your bottom until it’s bright red and on fire when we get home. If you’re naughty…” He let that word linger between them for a few seconds. “I’ll diaper you and put you to bed when we get home with no relief for that sweet pussy.”
She gasped, eyes wide again. “Define naughty in this instance.”
Yes. He had definitely created a monster. Sneaky Little thing was planning to negotiate what behaviors would be acceptable.
“Like does spinning around in circles until I get dizzy land me in a diaper or over your knee with that wicked paddle that burns so deeply when you strike me with it? What about conspiring with the other girls? If it’s all in good fun, is it still considered naughty?”
She never ceased to shock him, and she worked hard every day to surprise him with strings of words that flew out of her mouth so fast it was hard to believe she hadn’t rehearsed them.
He tugged her messy hair back, exposing her neck. “Any behavior deemed as unsafe like running away from my side while we’re traveling, stepping even one foot out of my line of sight when we arrive, getting too close to the edge of a ridge, or ignoring any safety command I add along the way. Anything that will cause me to lose years off the end of my life out of fear for your health and wellbeing will land you in your crib without permission to come for the rest of the day. Conspiring with the other Little girls to sneak away with snacks, convince the Alphas you need a playdate, or otherwise tricking the Daddies will earn you the paddle.”
She grinned wide. “I promise I’ll be good.”
“We stay only until I say it’s time to go, understood?”
“Yes, Sir.” She nodded dramatically.
“You never leave my sight.”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“You use the bathroom here before we leave. If you need to go while we’re at Brock’s house, I’ll take you, or you can wear a diaper.”
