Page 36 of Daddy's Little Surprise

That was a lie.

She started to occupy his mind when Dane started to take a different walking route. Now, it had just intensified since moving in with him.

Jackson, Finn, Michael, Leo, and Oliver walked into his office. His eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t have a meeting scheduled with any of them. Why were all of them here?

“So, who’s the girl? How’s the girl?” Finn asked.

“How did you find out? Who told you?”

Marco wasn’t surprised they were asking about her. He had put a claim on her this morning. He wanted everyone to know she was his and nobody else was going to get her.

“Charlotte. She and some of the girls were getting their daily dose of caffeine when they saw youkiss her.”

Marco knew the news was going to spread like wildfire, but with those Little girls, it was going to go even faster. He wasn’t expecting them to be near when he put his claim on her.

“So, who’s the girl, and how is the girl?” Jackson asked. “We all want to know. We’re not going to leave until we do.”

“If you don’t answer, then we’re going to go straight to the other source. We know she just moved into town this year and opened the coffee shop,” Leo said.

He definitely wasn’t getting out of this. Not unless he wanted them to go to her, which he didn’t. Rainey didn’t need their questions. She was probably already getting questions from Grace.

“Do you want to know how we met, or do you want to know that she is the coffee shop owner, is pregnant and is also a Little?”

“All of it. You guys bombarded me with questions when I started to take care of Monroe,” Michael said.

“I was walking to the coffee shop, ready to go in and finally talk to her,” Marco started.

“About time. How long have you been walking Dane around her coffee shop?”

Marco glared at Jackson.

“Sorry, but it was about time. It’s been forever, and you desperately needed to talk to her, or you never would. I was actually going to ask you today about it and give you a push, but I clearly don’t need to do that anymore.” Jackson sat in one of his chairs.

“Shut up.” Leo slapped his shoulder. “Let the man talk. I want to know what happened.”

“Like you haven’t heard it already. I have no doubt several people saw us and have already started different rumors.”

“Yeah, but I want to hear from one of the two sources. So, if you’re not going to tell me, I guess I’m spending the day in the coffee shop, asking her questions.”

“None of you will talk to her yet. This is still very new, and I don’t need you guys ruining it for me. Do you understand?”

“Don’t talk to us like we’re your sub. But yes, we do understand,” Finn said. “Now, tell us what’s going on.”

“Three days ago, I went to the coffee shop. Right as I was walking up, she walked out and looked nauseous. I held her hair back as she threw up, took her inside the coffee shop, and then she passed out in my arms. So, I took her to the hospital and stayed with her until she woke up. I saw Mike, and he saw right through my lie of being her fiancé, but he let me stay,” Marco explained. “Mike didn’t want her to return to her house without someone to help her and watch over her, so she came home with me. But we stopped at the coffee shop first, and that’s when I realized she lived there.”

“Shit, really?” Michael asked.

“Yes, she had been sleeping on her couch.”

“Isn’t she pregnant?” Michael asked.

“Yes, she is pregnant and was absolutely exhausted. I brought her back to my house, and things happened. The following day, I told her I wanted to be her Daddy and wanted her. Dane and I already knew she was mine. I also might have told her I loved her right after we had sex.”

It was probably too much information to share, but heneeded their opinions. He knew he told Rainey they could go at whatever pace they needed to, even if it was faster than what everyone else thought it should be.

“Shit. You work fast.” Leo whistled.

“You could get into a lot of legal trouble if she decided to do anything,” Jackson said.
