Page 103 of Daddy's Little Surprise

“When I tell you to do something, you do it. Especially when it’s in a situation like this, if anything ever happened to you, I would never forgive myself. You and our baby are my life.”

“Sorry, Daddy.”

He kissed her forehead. “I know, Little girl. That’s another tally to your punishment when we get home.”

Rainey whined, stomping her foot as she looked at him. “Daddy.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Stomp your foot again, and your punishment will be worse.”

She was about to raise her foot, feeling defiant, but Deccan stopped her.

“I wouldn’t, Little one. I bet you won’t be sitting for a week and your hand will be aching from lines would be my guess. Do you want to add more?”

She turned around and glared at him, pushing the thought of him being scary to the back of her mind.

“Now, since your Daddy has scolded you, let’s continue our conversation. I have places to be, people to watch.”

“Echo?”

He hummed, not answering the question.

“Ju-just be careful. I know it’s n-not my place to sayanything, but just please be careful with her,” Rainey softly spoke.

Deccan tilted his head as if he was trying to figure her out. She may not know Echo well, but that didn’t mean she wanted something bad to happen to her. She was a sweet girl.

“Why did you want to meet? Echo didn’t tell me anything.”

“She wanted to?—”

“I wasn’t talking to you. If I were, I would have been looking at you. Talk for her again, and I won’t hesitate to shoot you.”

Rainey gasped.

“Don’t fucking test me.”

Daddy wrapped a possessive hand around her body. “Get behind me.”

“She will not be getting behind you. I won’t touch a hair on her body. No harm will be done.”

It didn’t make her feel any better. Sure, it was what Daddy wanted because she would be safe, but that left him to get hurt. If he didn’t say anything, then he wouldn’t.

“Now, Rainey. Why did you want to meet?”

She took a shaky breath in. Ten seconds of courage. That was all she needed to start, and hopefully, after hat it would be easier to talk to him.

“Take your time, and if you need to you can sit in the car while we talk. Get off your feet. I bet those are aching pretty badly.”

Rainey tried to keep her face as neutral as possible. How did he know her feet were hurting so much?

“I’m good at reading people. How about you sit in the back of the trunk while we talk. Give you some space to sit, but be able to see all of us.”

Before she could say anything, Daddy took her hand and turned her around before picking her up.

“Daddy!” she squealed.

“You’re okay. Should’ve done this a while ago.”

Daddy opened the trunk and sat her on it. It was a spacious trunk that connected to the rest of the car.
