“Pack whatever you need, and we’ll head to my house.”

“I have to work tomorrow, so I’ll drive to your house,” she suggested.

Rainey knew he said she wasn’t going to work but maybe he forgot. Maybe he’d let her work.

Daddy let go of her face and tapped her nose with his finger. “Nice try. Why don’t you text Grace and let her know she needs to open tomorrow? I bet she’ll understand this late since she saw you pass out in my arms. Tomorrow, you’ll be sleeping in and eating food to nourish your body while drinking lots of liquids.”

“And what if I don’t want to?”

Rainey didn’t know where that came from, but she wasn’t going to back down now. While it sounded appealing to be able to sleep in, eating food that would only make her puke a coupleof minutes later sure didn’t.

“You can find out if you want, but you won’t like the consequences.”

She grumbled under her breath as she turned around, getting ready to pack the things she needed. Before she could take a step, Daddy patted her bottom.

“Be a good girl, and don’t grumble while you pack.”

Everything in her wanted to turn around and stick her tongue out at him, but she held herself back. They hadn’t talked about consequences and what her punishments would be. They didn’t even talk about being in a dynamic yet, so she needed to be respectful and not push an invisible boundary.

“Good girl.”

CHAPTER FIVE

RAINEY

Rainey and Daddy stood outside his house. It was a one-story house with three bedrooms, a living room, and a screened-in patio. Daddy said it was beautiful, and he couldn’t wait to show her every little piece.

She honestly couldn’t wait to see the patio. Just thinking about sitting outside, reading a book, and not worrying about all the bugs made her sigh in happiness. Rainey was allergic to what seemed like everything. Anytime she got bitten by a mosquito, the site would swell up before she even touched it. The same went for bees and wasps.

“Do you use your patio a lot?”

“Not as much as I’d like to.”

“That’s a shame. If I had one, I would use it every chance I got.”

It was something she had dreamed about, but when she looked into the cost of one, it was super expensive. She could have figured out how to do it herself, but she wasn’t handy and probably would have made a huge mess of it.

“You can use it anytime you want. It’s not like a normal screened-in patio. The roof is glass, so the sun shines in, and when it rains, you can see the rain hitting it.”

She stared at him in awe. That sounded like absolute heaven.

“Tomorrow, I’ll show you what it looks like. You can spend as much time as you want out there as long as you relax and do nothing else. If I catch you doing anything but relaxing, you’ll be out there with supervision.”

She gasped. “You would not.”

Daddy got down to her level. “Watch me, Little girl.”

Before she could say anything, he stood to his full height and unlocked the front door. She stood close behind him as they walked in. His living room had several pictures hung on the wall in a little splash of color, but everything else was neutral. It suited him.

“Those pillows are so pretty,” she whispered. They were a bright yellow and didn’t fit in his living room, but she loved them. “You have two of them!”

Daddy looked at her funnily, but she didn’t pay any attention . Rainey knew he didn’t know about her liking things in even numbers. It was an odd thing, but anytime she didn’t have an even number, her skin started to crawl. That was one of the reasons why her pastries were sold in even numbers. That way, her mind was always at rest.

Dumb, but it helped her, and nobody seemed to complain.

All of a sudden, Rainey saw a dog dash toward them. She let out a little squeal and waddled behind Marco, gripping his arm and shirt while she closed her eyes. He would save her.

“Dane, sit,” Daddy commanded.
