“Macie!” Eleanor yelled. “Uppies!”
Mac looked at Janie and she nodded her head. He gave Eleanor a big smile before he picked her up out of her mama’s arms. She snuggled into his chest and Janie’s heart started to melt even more. That was a precious moment.
But her heart sank. Eleanor didn’t have a father figure in her life because her father didn’t want her. What was Janie going to do when she grew up and started to ask questions or wanted a dad? Janie wasn’t prepared for that and didn’t know if she ever would be.
“You can’t spank me,” Janie said.
“We’ve already gone over this, but I’ll be glad to do it again,” Mac replied. “If I ever make you uncomfortable, say your safeword and I’ll take a step back.”
She nodded her head. Sure, he had made her feel uncomfortable at some points but it wasn't anything bad. Definitely not safeword worthy. It would have been inappropriate to say it in those situations.
“But, if I find out that you open the door without looking again, if it’s for me, your sister, or anything, I’ll spank your bare bottom,” Mac said.
Janie gulped and moved her hands to hold her bottom. She didn’t want to get spanked by him. She knew for sure it would hurt so badly.
“It’s a promise. I don’t say things and back down,” Mac said. “But you already knew that.”
She nodded her head. She did know that. He had sent her to the corner at the club and he had made good on other promises that he made. Like right now. He had come to take Eleanor and her to the doctors office.
“What if I take an Uber? Are you going to spank me then?” she asked. “Maybe next time I should take an Uber if I need to go somewhere.”
His eyes narrowed on her. “You do that, and you won't be able to sit for a week.”
“I don’t like the sound of that,” she whispered.
“It won’t be fun.” They stared at each other for a couple of seconds. It was almost like he was waiting to see if she was going to say or do something else.
“Do you need anything else before we go?” Mac asked.
Janie grabbed her purse on the little table near the door. “I’ve got everything I need in here.”
“Keys to your house?”
She nodded her head and held them up. They were attached to her purse. She tended to forget sometimes where they were. So, she decided to keep them attached to her purse.
“Come on. Lock the door and then we’ll get in my car,” Mac said.
Janie walked out, closed the door, and locked it before they made their way down her sidewalk. Right as they got to his car, she gasped.
“What’s wrong?” Mac asked. “Did you forget something? Feel alright?”
“I left the car seat in my car. We don’t have one,” Janie said.
She didn’t like it. Eleanor was just a kid and needed to be in the car seat.
“I bought one for Eleanor,” Mac said. “Don’t worry. I asked my sister and also did a lot of research before I purchased one. I bought one that is good and safe.”
Janie opened her mouth to speak.
“And I made sure to watch several videos and video chatted with my sister to see if I had installed it right,” he said.
“Wow,” she mumbled. She was not expecting him to say all of that. Janie had honestly thought if he had bought one he wouldn’t have gone through all the research. But he was showing that he cared.
“I also bought a booster seat for you,” Mac said as he opened two doors.
Janie glared at him. “I’m not sitting in that. I’m a grown adult who doesn’t need one.”
“I think with your height you do. I did research on that as well and it was recommended for you to use one.”
