“I’ve come up with a better solution to keep you warm.”

I snuggle into him. “I like wearing your shirt, Daddy. It smells like you.”

“I’ll make sure the stuffed marn always smells like me. I even got two of them so I can swap them out. One can sleep with me, and one with you.”

I lean back. “Why can’t I sleep with you?” The question is so odd. I can’t believe I’m asking this man, who bought me, if I can sleep in his bed. Why would I want to do that? But I do, and the reason is obvious. I want to be as close to him as possible.

He pries me back so he can look into my eyes. “I’d never get any sleep if you were in my bed, naughty girl. Neither of us would.”

I frown.

He chuckles. “You’re going to need my cock inside you very soon, Little pet. After we’ve taken that step, it will be hard to stop. If you slept snuggled up against me, I’d end up fucking your tight cunt over and over all night. How would I get any work done the next day?”

My jaw drops. I don’t know some of the words he’s using, but I think I understand. “You’re talking about sex?”

His eyes dance as he laughs. “Yes, Little pet. Sex. Fucking. The huge appendage you can feel pressing against your tummy is my cock. The urge to fill your tight pussy with it is strong.”

My head is spinning. “It will hurt.”

“It would if I stripped you naked and entered you without preparing you, yes. But I’d never do that. I will work on stretching your cunt until your body is ready to accept me.”

I start trembling. Somewhere in my mind, I knew this was coming, but I’m nervous, and apparently, it’s something we’ll be doing sooner rather than later.

Daddy pats my back. “Don’t fret, Little pet. I will take care of you. Now, let’s go into the shelter. You can meet the marns and pet them while we wait for the council member to arrive.”

I’m nervous when Daddy takes me to the attached shelter. I’m afraid of the animals, and I cling to him tightly.

Daddy glances at me, undoubtedly noticing my leeriness. “You’re not used to furry animals, are you, Little pet?”

“No, Daddy. They scare me. Will they bite me?”

“Nope. At least not any of the ones I permit you to be close to. The two shorgs you saw yesterday who are loose in the shelter are my personal pets. They live here, and they’re so well-trained that they don’t need to be restrained.”

I cross my arms over my chest and pout. “I rank lower than them. Why do I have to be chained up and they don’t?”

Daddy taps my nose. “Because you are a coveted pet who could easily be abducted. It’s not usual for Venkorians to steal a shorg or a marn. It’s not even necessary. If they want one, all they have to do is adopt one. They can choose whatever pet they want.”

“But I’m a human, Daddy. You can’t keep me chained up like an animal.”

“On this planet, you are a highly sought-after pet. That makes you a target for anyone who might wish to disobey the laws. I won’t take any chances with your life, Rava. Don’t bring it up again.” His voice is stern. He grips my chin and lifts his brows.

“Yes, Sir.” But inside I’m seething. Even with the strong impulse to lean into him and inhale his scent, I’m not fond of the thought of being restrained all the time.

As soon as we step into the shelter, I notice two things. The men I saw working in here yesterday are here this morning again. They are in the middle of putting something down all over the floor.

After exchanging greetings with the men, Daddy turns away from this main room and enters the exam room I was in yesterday. He sits me on the table, takes the stuffed marn from me, and pulls my shirt over my head before I have a chance to protest.

“Daddy…” I whine.

He grips my chin again. “Are you allowed to use that tone with me?”

My breath catches. “No, Sir.”

“Did you like it when I spanked your bottom yesterday?”

“No, Sir.”

“Then I suspect you won’t enjoy it today, either.” He grabs my waist and turns me over. “On your tummy, naughty girl.”
