“I’m sure most of them do to some degree. The males of our species are Dominants, Little one. Most of them anyway. And most of the females are submissive by nature. Not all males like to play as deep a role in their Little girl’s life as I will in yours, but nearly every Alpha Protector does.”
“Oh.” Her eyes were wide with wonder. He could see a thousand questions behind them. Probably so many that she didn’t know where to start.
“After our honeymoon period, I’ll take you to meet the other Little girls who are mated to Alpha Protectors. You’ll learn that they all have overbearing Daddies who take care of them in every way.” He smiled as he brought her fingers to his lips and kissed the tips.
Her breath hitched. “I’m all tingly again,” she whispered.
“I’m glad, Little one. Your body is aligning with mine. In the coming days that feeling will grow. For both of us. You won’t want to be parted from me.”
He loved how shallow and rapid her breaths came.
He washed her right arm next before setting the loofah aside for a moment to hold her arm up and press their wrists together. “Feel the connection, Little mate?”
She gasped and grabbed the edge of the tub with her other hand, eyes wide. Her body started shaking. When she tried to pull her arm away, he circled both their wrists with his free hand and forced her to stay connected like he had earlier.
He watched her struggle. His own struggle was equal, but he managed to control it better because he wasn’t as stunned as her. He’d been educated on this phenomenon. He knew intellectually what to expect.
She whimpered. “Daddy…” Her breaths came faster and deeper. Enough bubbles had popped for him to see her pretty nipples above the water. The pale skin of her cheeks was red, and that ran down her chest.
“Feel it, Bella. Don’t fight it.” He continued to hold her. He would let her go soon, but he wanted her to experience the intensity of their bond.
When she released the edge of the tub and lowered her hand into the water, he shook his head. “Put your hand back where it was, Bella,” he demanded.
She gasped, freezing her movements.
“I know your pussy feels needy. I know you want to touch it, rub it, anything to alleviate the need. But I forbid it. Grab the side of the tub,” he insisted again.
Her hand jerked out of the water and returned to the side of the tub. She gripped it harder this time. She was trembling as she tipped her head back.
When he finally released her arm, he gently set her fingers on the other side of the tub. “Keep them here,” he said.
He was as affected as her. His cock was harder than ever. But he forced himself to remain in control while he cupped her face. “That’s the bond, Bella. That’s what it does. We don’t have to touch our marks against each other to feel the connection. That just intensifies it.”
She swallowed hard, staring at him. Trembling all over. So fucking sexy.
He smiled. “I admit I didn’t know it would be that strong either. People told me, but it’s something you have to experience yourself.”
“Oh.”
He reached under the water and cupped her breast, loving the way she flinched. “I own your pleasure, Bella.” His voice was deep. It sounded odd even to his own ears. “You won’t touch yourself without permission, understood?”
She gave a slow nod. “Yes, Sir.”
It was appropriate for her to call him Sir at this moment. He liked it. “Spread your legs, Little mate. Let me finish washing you.”
Water splashed around because she was shaking so badly. He liked that too. He liked that he affected her so strongly.
He started with her feet, ran the loofah up her legs. and reached between them to stroke over her pussy.
She moaned and slammed her knees together against his arm.
“Open, Bella. Be a good girl.”
She panted adorably as he let the loofah float away and used his fingers to stroke through her folds before he reached farther back to slide along her small crack and the puckered hole.
She clenched, holding her breath. “Please, Daddy. Not there.”
“Everywhere, Little mate. No part of you will be off limits to Daddy. I will know your body intimately inside and out. Including here.” He tapped her rosebud. He considered pushing his finger inside now to give her a taste, but decided against it. She could hold on to that tiny piece of modesty for a while longer.
