Hawk grinned and nodded. “I think a handmade implement might be a good idea to have on hand. Especially for naughty Little girls who are spitting their green beans into their napkins.”
He turned his attention to Ellie, who was in the middle of doing just that. She froze and yanked the napkin away from her mouth, smiling at him innocently.
Derek chuckled. “Excellent. I’ll add you guys to the implement class roster. See y’all tomorrow.”
Not moving his gaze away from his blushing Little girl, Hawk raised his eyebrows. “Did you really think I wouldn’t catch that?”
Her mouth dropped open. “But you were looking that way,” she said, pointing toward the direction where Master Derek and Sadie had been standing.
Leaning closer to her face, he pinned her with his gaze. “It doesn’t matter which direction I appear to be looking, my attention is always on you, and now you get to answer to the consequences.”
The confusion on her face told him she didn’t know exactly what he’d meant by that until he signaled to the server. The boisterous woman came over to the table smiling sweetly. “What can I get for you?”
“I saw the baby food selections on the menu. Can I order some pureed green beans, please?”
Ellie
Well, that just sucked.
“But, Daddy, they gave me too many green beans,” she argued.
Emma nodded. “They really did. There were so many on her plate.”
Hawk turned and pinned Emma with a stern look. “You stay out of it unless you want pureed green beans too.”
Pulling her eyebrows together, Emma crossed her arms over her chest. “You can’t do that. You’re not the boss of me.”
Beau raised an eyebrow at his Little girl. “I can do that, and if you don’t keep out of their business, you’ll findyourselfwith a bowl of pureed vegetables.”
Emma’s mouth dropped open but Hawk’s attention was already back on Ellie, and she wanted to slide under the table when the server brought the small bowl of green mush and set it down on the table in front of her Daddy.
“You spit any of these out and I’ll bare your bottom right here in the restaurant and spank your butt,” he said as he held up a spoonful.
Letting out a sigh, she opened her mouth and winced. At least they were hot and had some kind of flavoring added to them, but they were still green and icky. She had a feeling she would still have a red bottom tonight before they went to bed.
As he fed her the last bite, she gagged and swallowed it, grabbing his glass of water to wash it down. When she set the glass down on the table, she noticed him smirking at her. Big mean beast.
The rest of dinner was uneventful, and even though she was pretty sure when they got back to the room she would be in trouble, Hawk still doted on her during the rest of the meal and as they walked back to the rooms. Ellie still felt uneasy whenever she did something naughty because of how her exes had treated her when she messed up, but Hawk always ensured she knew she was loved and that there were no hard feelings.
When they were alone in their room, she nibbled on her bottom lip nervously as she looked at her Daddy who was already in the process of looking through her suitcase, presumably for pajamas.
“Are you mad at me, Daddy?”
He turned and looked at her with a confused expression and then straightened and walked over to her, cupping her chin in his massive hand. “Not in the least. Are you worried because you didn’t eat your green beans?”
She nodded, looking up at him sadly. “I’m sorry I was naughty.”
His gaze softened and before she knew it, she was lifted into the air and set on his lap as he sat down on the edge of the bed. He shifted her so she was being cradled in his arms like a baby, which made her relax almost instantly.
“You were naughty for spitting out your vegetables, but you were already punished and forgiven. Are you still feeling guilty?”
Nodding, she twisted her finger in his shirt. “Yeah. I thought you were going to spank me when we got back to our room.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Do you think you need to be spanked, baby?”
That was a loaded question. Did she want to get spanked? No. But also yes. But also no way because her Daddy’s hands were like big wooden paddles. But she also knew she would feel much better if he spanked her. She needed the pain. It would help her unwind and make all the icky feelings go away. Spankings always did that for her.
“I don’t know why, but I just think it would make me feel better. Maybe less guilty for embarrassing you.”
