Page 39 of Daddies' Little Spitfire

"It would devastate us if you died," Oliver chimed in.

Her eyes closed as they continued to talk. She didn't want to hear this. Why were they telling her this? She had been doing so well before and now she was starting to crumble ever so slowly in front of them.

"Even if you don't think it'll help, you need to talk about it at some point," Leo said.

Her eyes flew open as she turned towards them. She glared at Leo.

"I don't have to fucking listen to you," she spat out. "I can do whatever the fuck I want because you aren't the boss of me. None of you are."

Before she could turn back around, Leo gripped her chin with his fingers.

"Yes we are the boss of you," he saidslowly. "I'm your Papa and Oliver is your Daddy and we are in control. We are taking care of you."

"You can't do whatever you want because you have rules to follow," Oliver said. "Unless you want your bottom spanked, have ginger up in your ass, write lines, or other things."

Hedda glared at both of them. They couldn't do this to her.

Leo let go of her chin and she continued to glare at them. She stuck her tongue out and smiled to herself inside. She didn't know what to say and sticking her tongue out felt appropriate in the moment. It showed them that she didn't care about what they said.

"You stick your tongue out again and I'll grab hold of it," Leo threatened.

She rolled her eyes. He wasn't going to actually do it and he wasn't fast enough either. Hedda could stick her tongue out super-fast and put it back in her mouth before he grabbed it.

And she was going to prove it to him.

Hedda stuck her tongue out again but before she could put it back in her mouth, Leo grabbed hold of it. Her eyes went wide as she stared at him. He had actually caught her tongue.

What does a person in this situation do?

Hedda had never had this happen to her before. Normally people were too slow to catch her tongue or didn't want to touch her. But Leo had managed to do it and now she didn't know what to do.

"Don't mess with me," Leo said as he continued to hold her tongue.

She tried to pull it out of his grip, but he held on tighter. Shit. She was in trouble now.

Oliver chuckled and she quickly looked over to the side where he was. Amusement was written all over his face and she didn't like it.

This wasn't an amusing situation. It was serious and she needed to get out of it.

"You shouldn't have done that," Oliver said.

No shit. She had figured that out already.

"But I can tell you already know that," he said. "Maybe next time you should listen to his warning."

She glared at him even more. It was like he was taunting her with what she had just done.

"Such an angry baby," Oliver mused. "Our angry baby."

Before she could do anything, Leo tugged on her tongue and she looked back at him.

"Listen and listen well," Leo said, his voice serious. "We're being patient with you and have been for a long time. It's better for you to talk about things. We've learned the hard way that talking is better than bottling it up."

Hedda closed her eyes and tried to not pay attention to what he was saying.

"Listen to Papa," Oliver said. "Open those pretty eyes and look at him while he talks to you."

But she didn't open her eyes. Pain landed on her bottom and she quickly opened to see Oliver giving her a pointed look.
