Page 98 of Tinley's Daddy
“Perhaps we can talk more about the government of Grant Enterprises in the back.” He didn’t wait for her to answer. He pulled her up and hauled her into his arms.
“But Tyler’s back there,” she whined.
“Don’t worry.” Kyler knocked before opening the door. “Tyler, I need the room.”
The rest of their conversation was muffled by the plane engines.
“What about you?” I set Tinley in her seat next to me and tucked the blanket in around her. “You feel like you need a spanking for this transgression, too?”
“No, sir.” Tinley smirked. “That was all Rayna Drop.”
“Good answer.” I kissed her cheeks and her nose. She puckered and offered her lips. I kissed them too.
“So rude.” Tyler walked by, chewing on red licorice. He smiled down at Tinley and offered her a piece.
She looked at me. I nodded.
She took it and placed one end of it in her mouth.
Tyler flopped down in the seat farther up.
“Now close your eyes.”
She blinked them closed, but then they popped back open.
“Daddy.” She leaned her head against my arm.
“Yes, sweet T.”
“When we first met…” She took my hand. “How hard was it not to Daddy me that night?”
“I showed incredible restraint.” I caressed her cheek. “I wanted so much to take care of you. Especially when you got sick.”
“Gross.” She stuck her tongue out.
“Not gross to a Daddy.”
“What else would you have done?” Her eyes blanked a few times, but she fought to stay awake until I answered.
“I would have pulled your hair out of your face, placed a cold cloth across the back of your neck.” I rubbed her neck.
“That sounds nice.” She closed her eyes.
“Then I would have gotten you out of those clothes.”
“Daddy!” Her eyes shot back open wide.
“To give you a bath.” I chuckled.
“Oh.”
“And then I would have cleaned you from head to toe and everywhere in between.”
Her eyes drifted closed again.
“What else?”
“I would have wrapped those big, white, fluffy towels around you like a burrito and then I’d have to carry you into the nextroom so you wouldn’t trip and fall. Then I would lay you down on the bed and dress you in the cutest little onesie.”
