“Shh, baby,” he soothed when she whined at the pressure as he pushed it inside her. The plug he’d chosen was significantly wider than the ginger had been, so it was no wonder she was struggling a bit. “We’re almost done. It will feel better when it’s all the way in, I promise.”
“It’s too big! It hurts!”
The hint of panic in her voice stopped him, and he held the plug there, holding her open but not forcing it any further. “Deepbreath, Ruby. Take a deep breath for Daddy and relax your muscles. Can you do that for me, baby?”
“I’m tr-trying, Sir.”
“I know. And I know it’s hard, but you’re taking it so fucking well for me, my sweet Ruby Red. What’s your color, baby?”
“I, um. Green?”
“Ruby. Do not lie to me right now, little girl. What is your color?”
Closing her eyes, she dragged in another deep breath. “Green, Sir. With maybe a hint of yellow. It just hurts a little more than I expected it to, is all. I’ll be okay.”
“What kind of hurt? Is it a sharp pain? Or more of a surface pain?”
“No. It’s more of a burn. Um, the friction, maybe?”
“Ah, ok.” Pulling the plug free, he coated it with more lube before pressing it against her hole again. “How’s this?”
“Better,” she said with a sigh of relief as he pushed it inside. “Sorry, I don’t mean to be dramatic, it’s just?—”
“Stop.” He put every ounce of ‘Daddy’ he had into that single syllable, earning him a wide-eyed look from her reflection. “You do not ever apologize to me, or anyone else, for voicing your needs. Especially when something doesn’t feel right in a scene. Am I making myself perfectly clear, Ruby?”
Tears shimmered on her lashes, and her lips turned up in a tremulous smile. “Yes, Daddy. Thank you.”
“Good girl. I’m very proud of you for telling me it hurt too much. Thank you for being honest with me.”
“Oh.” An adorable pink flush rose to her cheeks. “You’re welcome.”
With one more push, the plug slid home, the muscles of her anus snapping closed around the thin neck as she let out a shuddering breath.
“Beautiful. It’s almost a shame I won’t get to see it most of the night. But you’ll know it’s there, won’t you Ruby? And every time you feel it inside you, you’ll think of all the filthy things Daddy is going to do to you when we get back to my place.”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“That’s my girl. Come on. Let’s get you dressed so we can go to dinner.”
CHAPTER 26
RUBY
She was fairly certain the only reason he’d picked the restaurant he had was to give him more time to torture her. There were plenty of great burger places much closer to her apartment, and even a few out where he lived.
But no. Here there were, half an hour from town on some deserted back road headed to a town she’d only ever heard of in passing and sure as hell had never actually been to.
“You’re sulking.”
It wasn’t delivered as a rebuke, but she sat up straighter anyway, deliberately smoothing out her expression. “I am not.”
“You are, and it’s adorable.” Glancing over, he flashed that devastatingly charming smile at her again, the one that had gotten her hooked on him in the first place when they’d just been two people flirting across her bar. “I suppose you’re entitled to a bit of a sulk, all things considered.”
“I amnotsulking. I’m just… tired.”
Whoops. Wrong thing to say. She saw the moment his Daddy radar went off as they pulled into the parking lot of the most honky honky-tonk she’d ever seen. “Did you not get enough sleep?”
“I’m fine, really. Can we talk about this inside? I’m starving.”
