“You’ll also get hungry, and eventually your bottom will hurt so badly on the inside and the outside that you’ll stop pestering Daddy.”
I clamp my lips closed. It would seem I’ve used up my nagging quota for now.
TWELVE
Daddy settles in his favorite chair, cradles me, and pops the nipple into my mouth. “If you’re a good girl and take your bottle, I’ll answer some of your questions while you do so. If you let go of that nipple to argue, that’s the end of the inquiry. Understood?”
I nod. I need to control the urge to piss him off. Maybe not always, but right now, I’d rather have answers than have that nasty root pushed into my bottom again.
“Last question first. The formula is specifically designed for any aliens who come to our planet. There’s a good chance your tummy won’t be able to handle our food. It’s not the same as what you’re accustomed to eating. So, until something else is developed, you will not eat any foods on Venkoria. When I think you’re ready and you’ve earned the privilege, I will add specially designed kibble to your diet. It’s crunchy and will give you more satisfaction as well as keep your teeth healthy.”
Kibble? Is he joking? He’s not. And it takes every ounce of willpower not to immediately spit out the nipple and yell at him. But it’s better if I don’t, so I can get more answers.
“Let’s see… Oh, pregnancy. We are not compatible. You can’t get pregnant from me. Probably because Venkorians are far too large. If we had offspring, the fetus would be too big for you to carry.”
Thank heavens. That was my primary concern.
He peels back the edge of my blanket, exposing my breast. “As for clothes, I’m rather enjoying your naked body. But unfortunately, your body temperature runs lower than mine, so I will eventually put clothes on you to keep you warm. Don’t ask me again. I will do so whenIfeel like it.” He emphasizes his words with a pinch to my nipple.
As usual, his touch makes my entire body tingle, and I pause sucking on the bottle to arch my chest into his palm.
He narrows his eyes. “Let’s see… What else did you ask?”
I point toward my diaper.
“Ah, yes. The answer is no. No using the toilet. At no point in the foreseeable future will you have the freedom to move around at will. You may start crawling if you’re strong enough, but absolutely no standing yet. You will not leave my side. When we’re here in the apartment, which will be most of the time, I expect you to be next to me, preferably touching me. I’ve taken a few days off, but then I must resume my job, which I do from my home office. You will be in there with me while I’m working. It would be extremely inconvenient to take you to the bathroom. Wipe that idea from your mind. Besides, taking care of you intimately is one of my pleasures. And I will do so on my schedule, not yours.”
I sigh behind the nipple. Darn. Then I point toward the window, hoping he’ll remember I want to go outside.
He glances that way, thinking for a minute before turning back to me. “Outside? It is odd that you’ve never been outside, except for yesterday’s trip to my home. Luckily for you, I happen to own the roof of this building. It’s one floorabove us. It’s my own private oasis. Perhaps, if you’re good, I’ll take you there soon.”
My eyes widen. That’s the most exciting thing I’ve ever heard.
My bottle is empty. He removes it from my mouth before sitting me more upright and rubbing my back. The blanket falls around my waist, which should embarrass me, but I’m used to him seeing me naked. I don’t mind so much, as long as he’s holding me because his body heat keeps me warm.
Plus, I really enjoy the way he looks at me. It’s obvious he thinks I’m extremely attractive. That alone warms my heart.
“You may remind me what other questions you have, Little pet.”
Good. He’s being very generous this morning. “What do you do for work?”
“I’m the Finance Director for the government.”
Yikes, that sounds important. I move to my next question. “Do you have other pets on Venkoria?”
“Sure. Not cats and dogs, like humans had on Earth. I’ve done a crash course on your history lately, so I’m vaguely familiar with the animals that lived on Earth, including extinct ones like dinosaurs. We have similar pets here, but do not ask me to get you one.Youare the pet in this house. That’s all I can manage for the moment.”
I sit taller. “But you said you expected me to be furry with no intelligence. Now you know that I’m smart. I talk and walk and learn just like you. I’m not really a pet. Surely you can see that.”
He narrows his gaze. “Let me explain why your theory will not hold up here, naughty girl.”
I sigh. “Okay, Daddy.”
“Most importantly, you and all the other females coming from the space station are weak and tiny. You would not be ableto defend yourselves against even the smallest, most incompetent Venkorian. But, in addition, word of your abilities is spreading, which is causing Venkorians all over the planet to put their name on the waiting list to acquire a human. Only the very wealthy will be able to afford such a pet.
“Not everyone on this planet is law-abiding. Just like any society. There are those among us who will try to kidnap a human pet. If you were to walk outside this building right now on your own, someone would snatch you off the street in five seconds, and I’d never see you again.”
I gasp. I hadn’t thought of that.
