Her breath hitched. “You think I’ll be able to do more than suffer through the visions of people’s private lives?”
“I’m certain of it, Sienna. And it will probably be scary for a while, but you’ll adapt. I’ll be with you every step of the way. I promise.” He slid his hands up and down her back, soothing her.
Exhausted by the bombardment of information, she leaned into him, smashing the doll between them as she pressed her cheek against his chest.
He’d removed his suit jacket, which meant she could feel his warmth better through his white dress shirt. When he kissed the top of her head, she relaxed further.
There was no reason to be afraid of him. He’d never done anything to indicate he was an angry sort of person any of the times she’d watched him in her visions. And since meeting him this morning, she’d also had no reason to think he would shun her for leaning into him.
Suddenly, he lifted her by the hips and settled her on his knee between his thighs. Wrapping both arms around her, he leaned back and started rocking. “I know you’re scared, Baby girl. I’ll do everything in my power to help you learn to trust me and everyone around you. You are so loved. I feel that emotion multiplying by the minute inside me. You’re my world. My everything. Do you feel it, Little one?”
“Yes, Sir.” She did.
“Why don’t you try calling me Daddy? See how it feels.”
She snuggled deeper into his chest. “Yes, Daddy,” she murmured.
“Mmm. That sounds nice.” His hand ran up and down her arm and then her thigh. “I know you haven’t eaten well for a long time, but have you slept?”
“No…Daddy.” It was an odd endearment, but it pleased him, so she would give it a try.
“Nerves.”
“Uh huh.”
“How do you feel about taking a bottle and then napping for a while?”
“Nervous,” she admitted.
He chuckled. “That’s normal. Every new mate feels stressed when faced with this unexpected way of life. At least you had a warning. No one before you has had a single clue what their new world would entail.”
“Still scary,” she muttered.
He kept rocking and stroking her. “I know, Little one. It’s daunting. I’m sure you’ve seen what the mates of Alpha Protectors wear, right?”
“Yes, Sir…Daddy.”
“How do you feel about pretty dresses?”
“They’re so short, and they don’t cover anyone’s arms,” she admitted. “But they are pretty.”
He chuckled. “Yep. We don’t force our mates to keep their skin covered as is the custom in the valley. You’ll have more freedom to move and play without so many layers of material reaching down to your feet and wrists.” He fingered the hem of her skirt that extended to her ankles.
A pressing concern gave her the courage to ask what was on her mind. “Why do so many mates wear diapers? Are you going to make me do that?”
“Being diapered is one of the ways you will let me take care of you, Baby girl. It’s not mandatory. Some mates only wear a diaper occasionally. Others wear them all the time. Sometimes it’s by choice. Other times it’s out of necessity.”
“Necessity?”
“For example, when Khloe has a clairvoyant experience, she goes into a sort of trancelike state and tends to lose control of her bladder. She’d rather be diapered than risk wetting her panties.”
“Oh. That hasn’t happened to me.”
“And maybe it won’t. We’ll find out. But I don’t want you to fret if you have a powerful vision that causes you to wet yourself, Baby girl. We’ll clean it up and deal with it.”
Sienna leaned back, tears running down her face. She couldn’t stop them. Her emotions were all over the place. Probably because she was so exhausted. She’d cried so much lately that it was a wonder there were any tears left. “I don’t want to pee myself, Daddy.”
“I know, Little one. It’s a daunting possibility. But it won’t change how I feel about you. Or anyone else for that matter.”
“It would be embarrassing.” All the more reason she didn’t want to face other people. Ever.
“Lots of people have accidents, Baby girl. No one would say a word. Khloe isn’t the only one who wears a diaper nearly always. Olivia does because she’s blind in her human form. It’s easier than trying to find a bathroom when she’s not at home. Molly started wearing diapers when her Daddy built her an insulated room inside their home to block out sounds. Even though he has since insulated the entire house, she’d already grown accustomed to being diapered and prefers to be most of the time. All the other mates let their Daddies diaper them from time to time as a show of submission. It can be a very freeing experience. You’ll find you can fully relax and even sleep sounder when you don’t have to focus on controlling your bladder.”
