Page 15 of Daddy's Stowaway
“Of course I do.” She led me to a change room equal in proportion to my old bedroom back home. “I added shoes and an evening bag as well as a wrap. Sometimes it can get breezy at night,” Simone said as she pointed to the different items.
I nodded dumbly. “Uh, okay, thanks.”
“You are welcome, sweetheart. Is there anything else you are looking for?”
“Well, yeah, actually, lingerie. Sexy lingerie if you know what I mean.” She grinned at me like she knew exactly what I meant, and an hour later, I left, having spent a few thousand dollars on lingerie and the red dress with matching heels and handbag.
All the shopping had made me hungry, and once I was comfortably seated by the pool, I ordered lunch and a pitcher of Sangria and went into my Kindle account. Linking it to my new phone. I picked up reading a sensational hot mafia book titledHis to Learnby Skylar West. The hours flew by, and when my phone said 3:30, I jumped in the pool, did a few laps, and then grabbed my things and started back to the house.
I loved the slight stretch of jungle that separated the main hotel property from Alex’s private beach. The five-minute stroll was a sensory experience, and I often stopped to smell fragrant flowers or just observe an unusual insect. Having never been out of Detroit, I had a lot to watch and learn.
When I exited the jungle, it was to find Alex just leaving the house, looking very upset. Seeing no one else in the vicinity, I called out, “Hi, Daddy.”
He glanced my way, his relief obvious by the sigh that emptied his body of tension. He jogged over to me and kissed my cheek.
“Are you okay? You look rather alarmed,” I asked.
“I need to put up cameras in that stretch. I knew you left the hotel fifteen minutes ago, and it’s only a five-minute walk.”
“Oh, you were worried about me? Sorry, I knew to be home at four, and I had the extra time to smell the flowers and watch this fascinating bug that crossed my path.”
His tension receding, he asked me about my day. “Uh, Daddy, I um spent a lot of money at one of your stores. Is that okay?”
He smiled warmly as he opened the front door after tapping in the code. “Of course it is. I told you, buy whatever you want.”
He didn’t understand what I was asking. I was embarrassed as I didn’t want to bring up value, preferring to sweep it under the rug along with everything else I found overwhelming about our arrangement.
“What I mean is, was it okay to spend so much on these items. Like I, uh, never imagined that so little could cost so much.” Speaking of my purchases, they were in a red box with a big bow and a note.
I loved meeting you today, Antonia, and I hope we can do lunch soon. Regards, Simone.
“Aww, she is so sweet. I really like her, Daddy.”
Alex smiled indulgently. “She is a lovely woman and is dating my friend Johnathan. We could meet them for dinner one night if you like?”
“Yes, please, I would like that very much. But you haven’t answered my question.”
“I think what you’re really asking me is if it’s okay to spend my money without prejudice. Because my kitten is evaluating her value and is having a hard time equating it within my opulent lifestyle, correct?”
He knew me so well. “Yes, Daddy, that is precisely what I am asking.”
“Yes, and let me say this for the last time. Anything means anything; I don’t care about the cost. Are we clear now?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Good, because pizza will be here in an hour. How about we get cleaned up, and you can give me a little fashion show. I want to see this new lingerie you bought today.”
“Do I have to?” I pretended to pout. “All I really want to do is suck your cock in the shower and put on one of your t-shirts afterward, please.”
Alex laughed. “You’re hard to say no to, little brat, you know that. Fine. The last one upstairs is a rotten egg.”
Alex took off with the box while I chased him, but with his long, athletic legs, he took three stairs at a time. I was way behind as I raced up as fast as my short legs could go, one at a time.
When I arrived, I found the box on the bed and the shower running. I grinned while I imagined the showercock-tailI would enjoy before dinner and followed the trail of male clothing to the bathroom, joining Alex in the shower.
