“Good, I’m glad you called back. Raina would love to have company today.”

She couldn’t understand what the other person was saying.

“Good. See you soon.”

Alex hung up and grinned. “The girls will be here in thirty minutes. While I get some work done, why don’t you watch a movie or have a tea party? When I’m done, I’ll take you out to the pool. I don’t want you girls out there alone.”

“Okay. Should you tell that person to have the girls bring their suits?”

Alex texted someone and got a reply instantly.

“They’ll be here with their suits.”

“Oh, yeah. You haven’t seen the pool yet, have you?”

He shook his head. “There will be plenty of time for that. I plan on us using it a lot.”

Oh, my God. He keeps making it worse. She would be in agony by the time they went to bed.

“You’re a mean daddy.”

Chapter Eighteen

He snorted. “The girls should be here shortly. Do you want to go put your swimsuit on and a cover-up?”

“Yes. That way, I’ll be ready.”

“Good. Come back down when you’re ready.”

She nodded and raced from the room.

“Slow down before you trip and fall,” he yelled. He grinned when he heard her giggle, but her steps slackened.

He was at the front door with Rafael, Noah, and four girls. He turned when the girls looked over his shoulder to see Raina frozen on the steps.

He held out his hand. He wrapped his arm around her waist when she stood beside him. He felt her tremble and watched her stick her finger into her mouth, which was a sure sign of anxiety.

He hugged her against his body. “There is nothing to be afraid of. These are my friends. I’ve known the girls for a long time. You know Rafael and Mara.” She nodded. “These other people are Emma, Kyla, and Riley. Noah is her daddy.”

“Are they all littles?” Raina whispered.

“Yes,” he said.

Mara stepped forward and took her hand. “You’re going to love all the girls I know. The three behind me are very sweet. Although Riley’s been known to act out, but that’s just because she wants to be spanked.”

Raina grinned when Riley gasped, making Alex’s smile grow.

“I do not,” Riley said.

Alex almost snorted. Everyone knew what Riley was like. Her daddy ran his hand up and down her ass. “Are you sure about that, honey?”

The woman turned beet-red and slowly nodded. “I do.”

Noah kissed the woman on her head. “I’m proud of you for telling the truth.”

Riley beamed up at him.

Mara rolled her eyes so that only Raina could see, which made Raina grin.
