“Good. I’m glad. I wouldn’t want to think of you lying in the woods alone waiting to die. However, whoever this Mitchel is, he’s a dead man,” Navin growls. He means it.
I shudder. Part of me would be delighted if Navin wiped this Earth of the likes of Mitchel, but I don’t want him to. I can already tell Navin is a good man. I don’t want anything to happen to him. “Don’t,” I tell him.
His brow furrows. “Don’t what, Little love?”
I shake my head. “Let it go,” I mutter. “Don’t think of Mitchel. He thinks I’m dead. Maybe you could help me get away from here.” I sit up taller as ideas form. “If I never go back to town, he’ll assume I died. Could you help me? If you have some clothes, boots, and a little food to spare, I could run away and—”
Navin flinches. “Brea… Little love… What are you talking about? Your home is here now. With me.” He grabs my hips and gives a tug so I shift closer to him and fall back against the covers.
I’m panting as I stare at him.
He moves his hands to my face, cupping me gently. “Brea, you’re mine. I’ll rarely let you out of my sight, Little love. You won’t like it when I’m not in the room. We’re a bonded couple now. There will be no running.”
He’s serious. “But you don’t know me. Maybe you won’t even like me when you get to know me. Thank you so much for saving my life, but I won’t burden you. If Mitchel ever found out I was here, he would kill all of you just for sport.”
Navin’s brows lift. “Why the hell do you think this Mitchel asshole is so powerful? I don’t intimidate easily, Little love. No one is going to get near you ever again, Brea.”
“But we’re not that far from town. A few hours? You would never get away with hiding me forever. Someone would eventually find out I’m here, and when it got back to Mitchel…”
“Brea…”
I shake my head. “I mean it, Navin. He would come for me. I won’t let you risk yourself to protect me. I’m nobody.”
Navin frowns. “Never talk about yourself like that again, Brea. Do you understand? I forbid it. If I hear you speaking ill of yourself, I’ll take you over my knees and spank you until you remember how important you are.”
I gasp. Spank me? And then I remember that I’m diapered, and he’s asked me to call him Daddy. He probably would spank me if I misbehaved. The thought of him taking a palm to my bottom makes me draw my knees together and squeeze them. Why the hell am I intrigued by the idea?
Navin continues lecturing me, “No more talk of running away. If I suspect you of actually planning such a cockamamie idea, I’ll spank your naughty bottom until it’s bright red and you’re sobbing and begging me to stop. Do I make myself clear?”
I can’t believe what I’m hearing. My head is spinning.
“Do you need a demonstration?”
“No.” I shake my head so hard my brain rattles. Tears come to my eyes. Suddenly I’m incredibly emotional. It’s been a long time since anyone so fiercely protected me. “But he’ll find me, Navin.”
“Daddy.” He reaches for the blanket and tugs it away from my chest, tossing it behind him onto the floor. Navin bends his head and suckles one of my nipples again before dragging his teeth across the tip. “Say it, Little love.” He bites down on the tip.
I arch my chest and moan. The sharp pain feels so good. It makes me crave things I’m only feeling for the first time this morning. I can’t even begin to process this sensation. “Daddy…” The word flows from my lips easier this time.
“Good girl. Now, let’s get this wet diaper off you and get you dressed. You need to eat, and then you need to tell me everything I should know about this asshole who tried to kill you.”
“Okay,” I mutter. There’s no sense arguing with him further. Maybe I can get him to see reason later. I can’t stay here. I’d be endangering his entire community.
Another thought comes to mind. These men are lion shifters. Even though I’ve never knowingly met a shifter before, I already suspect I’ll find out the others who live here are equally huge, and I bet I’m underestimating Navin. Perhaps he would be able to take on Mitchel with nothing but his bare hands. I probably shouldn’t doubt his capabilities.
Navin moves his hands to the front of my diaper, and before I know it, he has removed it and whisked it away, leaving me now totally naked and exposed.
I bend my knees, grip them together, and pull them toward my chest. Having exposed breasts was weird enough. I don’t want him staring at my pussy.
