Page 25 of Daddy's Little Duckling

To make matters worse she could still feel her Little near the surface. There was no way she would let her out right now. She can’t risk being an embarrassment to Emmett.

She didn’t care that Daddy said that Miles was a Daddy, as well. She paused and grinned at that name. She had called him Daddy and it felt right.

Rae took a deep breath and turned towards her overnight bag that was on the dresser.

Pulling out the oversized orange shirt and black leggings that she brought for her to wear today, she changed and headed into the bathroom to remove the pigtails that Daddy had put her hair into after he got her dressed before pulling her hair into a half up ponytail and securing it with a orange striped bow. Splashing some water on her face, she looked at herself in the mirror.

“You can do this Raelyn. There’s nothing to be worriedabout. I’m sure Miles is a good guy and you know that Daddy wouldn’t let him anywhere around you if he wasn’t safe.”

She grinned at calling Emmett Daddy. Rae didn’t mean to, but it felt right. She had been referring to him as Daddy in her head long before now and it was only a matter of time before she voiced that name out loud.

“Alright Rae, pull up your big girl panties and go out there. Stop hiding in this bathroom like a scaredy cat and just get it over with.”

Slipping out and quietly padding down the hallway, she stopped at the entrance of the living room. She could hear a quiet conversation being had between Daddy and Miles.

Rae could only imagine what was being said. Daddy was probably trying to convince Miles that she wasn’t a freak.

He said that Miles was a Daddy, too, and would understand, but you can never know for certain how someone feels about things until they are presented with it at that moment.

That’s when the true feelings of someone are revealed. She knew that first hand.

Rae shifted her stance and the floor creaked. Holding her breath she waited for the conversation to continue. Sadly, she should’ve known that wasn’t going to be the case.

“Little Duckling, come out here and stop hiding in the hallway.”

Grumbling, Raelyn took one last deep breath before heading into the living room to face the music. She noticed that Daddy was sitting on the couch while Miles stopped his pacing in front of the fireplace.

She could tell that this whole situation was causing him stress, though she didn’t know why. It’s not like he was the one in a vulnerable state that was walked in on unannounced.

Lola was perched on the cat tree in the corner justwatching the whole scene unfold. Raelyn walked over and picked her up.

Daddy held out his arms and beckoned her over to him. Sitting down beside him and placing Lola in her lap, Rae didn’t even have a chance to get comfortable before she felt herself being moved and placed in Daddy’s lap.

She didn’t want to admit it, but that motion helped ease her anxiety just a little bit and paired with running her hands through Lola’s fur, she knew that she would be okay.

“Raelyn, I would like you to meet my best friend, Miles.”

Rae gave a small wave to Miles before turning and hiding her face in Daddy’s shoulder.

“Hi, sweet girl. I am so glad for the opportunity to meet you.”

Rae peeked at him waiting to see if he was going to continue. She had no intentions of saying anything unless she had to and she should have known that her Daddy wasn’t going to let her get away with that.

“Rae, wouldn't you like to say something to Miles?”

She rolled her eyes at Daddy, unprepared for the smack that came across her backside. Gasping, she sat up and glared at Daddy. How rude of him to spank her, even worse how rude of him to spank her in front of Miles!

“Daddy! What was that for?

Eyes bulging out, Rae slapped a hand over her mouth. She couldn’t believe that she was dumb enough to call Emmett Daddy in front of Miles.

She watched the grin form on Daddy’s face and the slight shake of his shoulders told her that he found her funny.

Just like this morning, she had no idea why he was laughing, because this wasn’t a funny situation. It was so embarrassing.

She felt Daddy pull her hands from her mouth beforesaying “It’s okay, Little one. I told you, Miles is a Daddy, too. He isn’t going to bat an eye at me spanking you and especially not at you calling me Daddy in front of him.”

Raelyn took another deep breath before grumbling at her Daddy again.
