Page 62 of Her Hero Daddy

She nodded, pulling her hand out from under the blanket, the pacifier he’d put in her mouth earlier held in her hand. He took it from her.

“Thank you, baby. Did that help you sleep?”

She nodded again as she sucked the rest of the bottle down to the last drop.

“It was weird at first, but it was soothing once I got used to it,” she said softly.

“Good. I’m glad, baby. That is the whole point of your Little space. For you to be able to be calm and relaxed and enjoy yourself.”

“Have you heard any news about Tim?”

He hated the worry in her voice as she asked. He knew that no matter how immersed in Little space she might be at any given time, she wouldn’t be able to fully relax until this was over.

“No. I haven’t. My brother is headed down here with two more guys. The guys are going to be out and about in the town, keeping their eye out for him. Damian is going to stay in the apartment in the garage while he’s here. He’ll be here later tonight.”

Her face dropped into the saddest expression he’d ever seen. Her bottom lip trembled slightly.

“What’s wrong, baby girl? Damian is very nice. Are you worried about him coming here? I can set him up in a hotel.”

She shook her head quickly. “No, it’s fine. I just, I was looking forward to spending more time as a Little. But maybe after he leaves, we can still do it?”

Ah. He hadn’t made it clear to her before that this wasn’t just a temporary thing for him. The only way it would be temporary is if she made that choice.

“Baby girl, you will still be in full Little mode with Damian here. He is also a Daddy, and he knows you’re a Little.”

Her eyes widened, and she let out a squeak. “You told your brother I’m a Little?”

Kane chuckled and brushed his hand over her hair. “He’s a Daddy. He is so happy that I found a Little. And as far as maybe after he leaves, we can do it, honey. I don’t want this to be temporary. I hope that you’ll find yourself wanting to be with me permanently, needing me to be your Daddy, and hopefully, falling deeply in love with me because I’m so hot, and I’ll fight alligators for you.”

He winked at her, and she burst out giggling. He didn’t care that it was at his expense; he just wanted to keep her laughing like that forever.

“Are you laughing because you don’t think I’m hot?” he asked, sounding completely offended.

He reached under the covers and lightly tickled her side, causing her to squeal loudly.

“No, Daddy! Stop, I need to go pee!”

He grinned and pulled his hand away.

“You are very hot, Daddy. And I didn’t know you were so sensitive about it,” she told him, smiling.

“Well, I am. I need you to tell me how hot I am at least five times a day, otherwise, I’ll think I’m not. Now, get going to the potty, and let’s go watch a movie.”

HAYLEE

You stupid bitch, you’re not leaving me!

No one leaves me!

You’re such an embarrassment!

Slap! Slap!

“Haylee, wake up! Wake up, baby. You’re having a nightmare.”

Letting out a scream, she sat straight up and began flailing her arms wildly.
