But it was easier to blame him right now than the town. Which wasn’t fair to Daddy. He had made her comfortable, healed her, fed her, and made her happy. What had she done? Been rude.

“You aren’t?” She sounded skeptical.

“No, Little one. When you are ready, you let me know.”

When she was ready. Would she ever be ready? She didn’t know. Everything was up in the air, everything in her life. Would she ever be able to do ballet again? Would she ever be able to walk by herself again? Was Daddy always going to have to be around her?

But the more she thought about it, the more she realized she probably would. Maybe they did have ballet shoes in the shop. Maybe she would have everything she needed in the town.

Daddy kissed her forehead as they walked into the house. He had been nothing but kind to her.

Maybe she should take the leap of faith and let him mark her. The Littles she met today had all been happy with who they were with. Maybe that was her sign that it was going to be okay and Daddy was going to take care of her.

“Such a good girl,” Daddy whispered as he sat her down on the ground.

She held onto his hand, not ready to let him go.

“Are you okay, Little one?”

“I want you to mark me.”

CHAPTER TEN

REVNA

Daddy stared at Revna in shock.

“Daddy?” she whispered, feeling unsure about what she just told him.

Was it a mistake to say that? Should she have waited a couple of more days? Was he going to get angry at her?

“I’m sorry Daddy.” Her shoulders caved in.

How could she be so stupid to say something like that? She knew Daddy wanted her to be ready for it and she was, but the way he was acting, it didn’t make her feel like it was the right choice.

“I’ll just go sit in my room.”

Revna made it several steps before she felt arms wrap around her.

“I didn’t say you could leave.”

“But you didn’t tell me to stay,” she shot back.

“You didn’t give me a chance to reply. You gave me all of three seconds before you started to speak again.”

Maybe that was true. Maybe she had only given him a couple of seconds, she didn’t know how long it was. All she knew, the look he made and the lack of response. It didn’t make her feel good.

Daddy started to slowly kiss the side of her neck.

“Are you sure?” he murmured, nicking her skin where her shoulder and neck met.

Shivering, she moaned and pulled her head to the opposite side, giving him more room.

“Please,” she whimpered.

“Are you sure?”

“Please.”
