Page 92 of Tinley's Daddy
I looked down at my feet. They never ceased to make me smile.
“You’ll look funny walking around the train station like that, but if you don’t mind…”
“You’re coming with me?”
Josh sat on the bed.
“Of course.” He pulled me in between his legs.
“You’re not getting rid of me?” I felt the tears coming down my cheeks.
“Oh. Sweet T, why are you crying?” He wiped the tears from beneath my eyes. “Of course I’m coming with you. I can’t very well keep my promise if I’m not by your side.”
A swell of emotions overtook me. I grabbed onto Josh to avoid falling to the ground. He scooped me up into his arms and sat me on his lap.
“Please don’t ever leave me,” I whispered and held him tight.
“You’re stuck with me until you tell me to leave.” Josh nuzzled my neck. His arms squeezed me against him.
We held each other until our hearts calmed and our breaths synced. I leaned back and looked into his eyes.
“I don’t want to go back to Pittsburgh.” I played with the collar of his shirt. “I mean, maybe someday. I guess I have to deal with some stuff there, but not now. And not with her.”
Josh blinked away his own tears and instead of speaking, pulled me close to him.
“You want me to tell her.” He ran a hand down my spine. It sent a chill through my body and woke up all my senses. He cupped my bottom and tapped it. Reminding me of the spanking from last night and more to come in my future.
“No, Daddy.” I blinked. “Daddy. I called you Daddy. It just sort of came out.” I peeked up at him. “Is that okay?”
“It’s more than okay.” He grinned and kissed me.
A squeak came from the direction of the door.
We both turned to find Rayna stooping down, the top of her head and eyes peeking around the corner.
“Rayna,” Josh called her, and she squeaked again. “Get in here.”
She sighed and stood up.
“Hey.” She walked in as if she hadn’t been caught snooping. She had tears in her eyes. “What’s up?” she asked. Her eyes grew wide.
“What are you doing?” I slid off Josh’s lap.
“You’re not going to Pittsburgh with her, are you?” Rayna bit her lip. “I mean, if you must, okay, but I hope you don’t becauseI have to show you around Vegas. It’s my city and I have to show you the ropes.”
“Rayna.” Josh rubbed his chin. “You’ve been to Vegas once.”
“But I’ve been doing my research, and someone has to show Tinley around.” Rayna winked at me.
“No, I’m not going with her.”
“Yea!” Rayna yelled and jumped up and down.
“You really are not good at this ninja stuff.” Josh chuckled.
“Daddddy.” I tapped him on the chest. “She’s just a little Ninja. What do you expect?”
We all giggled.
