“Lie back, Little love.”
I drop onto my back and stare at the ceiling. I certainly don’t need to watch him clipping each loop along my thigh. It might make me nauseous.
Saying nothing while he works, I go into my head instead. My entire existence is surreal. I’ve been claimed by a lion shifter. I’m so enamored with him that I can’t think straight. It’s difficult to focus on anything but him at all times. I suspect all my attention was fully centered on him even while I was in a deep sleep. I’m pretty sure all my dreams included him—mostly eating my pussy.
His scent fills the entire cabin. Every inhale draws him into me and turns me on. If that’s fated, it’s working. It should have been funny for him to suggest I press myself against him, but the truth is I’d love nothing more than to do just that—climb him like a monkey and hold on to his neck for the rest of time.
I wonder how long it will take for Mitchel to discover that I didn’t die in the woods and what he will do when he finds out. I might be able to keep my existence a secret for a while, but it can’t last forever. Eventually someone will talk, and he’ll find out I’m living among the lion shifters.
“There. All done.” Daddy kisses my scar.
I lift my body upright and look down. It’s amazing. It barely even itches now. “What if I crack my skull or cut my arm off. Can you fix that, too?”
He’s putting his supplies away as he glances at me. “I don’t need to bite you again, Little love, if that’s what you mean. My essence runs through your blood. It’s permanent. It has changed you.”
I shudder. “Changed me?”
He finishes what he’s doing and lifts me into his arms so I’m facing him.
I hook my ankles around his waist and hold on to his neck.
“Changed you in ways you’re already aware of. You’ll heal quickly, and you’re deeply bound to me.”
“That’s it?” I wonder if there’s more.
“Isn’t that enough?” He chuckles.
I shrug. “It’s weird. Like I got picked up by aliens and they did scientific experiments on me and then put me back on Earth. Except the alien is you, and I’m now stuck with you for eternity.”
He laughs harder. “I guess that’s pretty accurate, Little love. I’ll do my best to make sure you never mind being stuck with me.”
I hug him tight as he carries me from the room, pressing my nose against his neck because nuzzling him is something I can’t get enough of. I love the fact that he’s only wearing low-hanging jeans and no shirt. His feet are also bare. It’s sexy.
Daddy rubs my back as he carries me to the kitchen. He sets me on the booster seat and buckles me in.
It’s a waste of time to question him or argue about the fact that I’m not a toddler, and I won’t fall. He’s deaf to my complaints.
As he cinches the straps tighter so the one between my legs pulls up against my pussy, he says, “The restraints are meant to keep you safe, Little love. Don’t use the straps to masturbate. If I find you rubbing your clit intentionally against the nylon, I will swat your pussy and leave you wanting more. Understood?”
My breath hitches. “Yes, Daddy.”
“Good girl.” He cups my face, kisses me hard, and turns toward the kitchen counter. When he returns, he hands me the coloring book and pencils.
I’m glad because I find it soothing. I don’t think I’ve done any coloring since I was very young. If I’d known it would be so relaxing, maybe I would have taken up this hobby earlier. Then again, I’ve never had the time to do something so frivolous before now. I’ve always had to work hard to make sure I could pay the rent and put food in my mouth.
I glance at Daddy’s back often as I color. He’s mesmerizing. He has bigger muscles than anyone I’ve ever known, and I suspect it’s mostly genetic. Though he is also a logger. That has to be hard work.
The cabin smells amazing when he finishes cooking, and I feel like a princess as he sets a steaming plate in front of me. Sausage, eggs, hashbrowns, and toast.
“I’m going to be spoiled,” I tell him as I dig in.
He pours me a cup of juice, which he puts in a sippy cup. “That’s the goal, Little love. I intend to spoil you for the rest of your life.”
“Maybe I died in the woods, and this is heaven. If that’s the case, I must have been a very good girl on Earth because this is obviously the top rung of heaven.”
He chuckles as he sits next to me. “You’re very much alive, and I’m glad you’re happy.” He kisses my temple and starts eating.
