Page 35 of Daddy's Little Surprise

“Walk! No rushing!” Daddy yelled.

She slowed down right as she got to the door. Quickly glancing back, she waved at Daddy before heading in and making her way toward the counters. She so badly wanted coffee but would have to settle for hot chocolate instead.

Grace was smiling as she made a customer their coffee.

“I don’t need any questions asked,” Rainey rushed out as she started to make her hot chocolate.

“Too bad. Expect a lot of questions. Only a couple of people saw it, but it’s definitely going to spread like wildfire. Marco saving you has already been the talk of the town,” Grace chuckled.

Rainey closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. She was expecting it to be the talk of the town, but answering questions from random people? What if they didn’t approve and ended up not liking her? Would she have to move again?

“Even if he hadn’t kissed you, it would still be the talk of the town. He drove you to work. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him drive anyone to work. I haven’t really seen him take interest in a girl.”

Rainey resumed making her hot chocolate, trying to pretend nothing happened.

“So, how are things going between you two?”

It was hard when she had a nosy employee.

“I’m not going to let this go. You need somebody to talk to. I’m here for you. I’ll just keep asking until you either fireme, which I know you won’t do, or answer me. Either way, we’ve got all day.”

“It’s a new development. I’m trying to wrap my brain around everything. It seems to be going really fast, but it kind of feels right,” Rainey finally said.

She would prefer not to talk about it in the open, where customers could hear, but they couldn’t exactly go into her office. Nobody had been in her office but her, and she didn’t want them to realize she had been sleeping in there or that she was a Little.

So, outside her office was just going to have to do. Rainey would just have to make sure nobody was around and paying attention.

“Don’t give it up if people give you a hard time for going fast. Marco is loyal, and he’s an amazing Daddy.”

Rainey quickly turned to Grace, staring at her in shock.

“Yes, I know he’s a Daddy. I go to his club. I’ve seen him interact with a coupleof Littles, but nothing ever serious.”

“That means you’re a?—”

“Yes, I am a Little. Don’t have a Daddy yet. We’re still working on that, but I’m kind of content where I am right now . I didn’t want to be living off him, but now I’m making money, so I don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

Rainey laughed and took a sip of her drink. “Good luck. If he’s anything like my Daddy, even though you make money, he’ll want to pay for things.”

“How’d that go for you?”

She shrugged. “He told me to use my money for fun things. If I wanted a book, I could buy it, or if I wanted… I don’t know, actually. I’ve been trying to save up since getting pregnant, so I haven’t bought things for fun.”

“Well, good luck with that, too. You’ll figure it out in no time. And I have no doubt that Marco will spoil you beyond belief. Embrace it. Love it. Don’t throw it back in his face.”

Rainey already knew that. He hadn’t spoiled her yet, but when he did, she might give him a little trouble before accepting it.

The doorbell jingled, and Rainey looked over to see a group of girls coming in.

“Good luck,” Grace quietly said.

“Hi!” One of the girls waved at her. “I’m Charlotte. We know Marco. We were wondering if you had some free time to get to know each other.”

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

MARCO

Marco had been staring at his computer screen for several minutes, not getting anything done. His mind was on Rainey, but when was it not? Ever since she’d passed out in his arms, she had been on his mind.
