Page 101 of Daddy's Little Surprise

Rainey’s eyebrows raised.

“No.”

“Yes. You’ve already landed yourself in big trouble; do you want to get into even more?”

“How?”

Daddy placed his hand on his hips. “How? You lied to Daddy several times today. You put yourself in danger. Those are two serious things, especially breaking a safety rule.”

She kept her mouth shut. Rainey had done both of those things. She felt absolutely awful for it, but she needed to do this and didn’t want to get Daddy involved. Not when he could be in danger. She didn’t know what Pete would do if he saw him.

“I could’ve done it by myself. I could have taken care of myself.”

“What if they hurt you? Threatened you? Kidnapped you?”

“I would have taken care of it.”

How? She didn’t know, but she would have figured something out. She had for most of her life, and she was still alive.

“I bet you could take care of yourself, but you also have to think about our baby. I’m not saying you are a bad mother; that is the last thing I am implying. I’m just saying if anything happens to you, our baby might suffer as well. But you don’t have to worry about that anymore because Daddy is here, and I will take care of everything.”

“But.”

“No buts. What you did was naughty. Lying to Daddy and putting yourself and our baby in danger. You know better. Your rules are in place so you don’t hurt yourself.”

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered.

“I know you are. When we get home, your punishment will happen after I look you over to check you’re okay. Then all is forgiven once the punishment is over.”

Daddy walked up and wrapped his arms around her. She nodded and cried into his shirt. She knew the punishment was going to be bad, and the thought of the drive back was killing her.

“If she were my girl, I would punish her right here.”

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

RAINEY

Rainey gripped Daddy’s shirt. Who else was here?

“You must be Deccan,” Daddy said as he let go of her and pushed her behind him.

Holding his shirt tighter, she buried her head into his back. When Daddy showed up, she didn’t think Echo had actually contacted Deccan. She figured it was just a ploy to see if she would go and Daddy would come and get her.

“You must be Marco, and behind you must be Rainey.”

A shiver ran through her body. His voice was void of any emotion. How did she think she could do this all by herself? Daddy was right next to her; she was shaking as he took control of everything.

“Rainey, get in the car.”

“If she does, someone will get hurt die.”

Her eyes went wide as she pushed herself closer to Daddy. She was going to have to disobey Daddy this time.

“Who the fuck is in the car?”

“Leo, he works with me. I can tell him to go home if you want.”
