SUNNY AND DUKE
2nd December
“Daddy, I can’t breathe.”
“What?” Duke gave her an alarmed look. “What do you mean?”
“I mean . . . I can’t breathe.” She fanned her face with her hand. She was going to pass out.
Not. Good.
He glanced around frantically. “Fuck, we’re at least an hour away from a hospital.”
That they were. They were kind of in the middle of nowhere. Just snow and trees for miles. Oh, and a few other trucks and cars in the distance, with people doing the same thing they were.
Searching for the most magical tree they could find.
“I’ll call emergency services, get a chopper in here. Sit down. Maybe you should get in the car. How bad is it?” His face grew pale as he became more worried.
“Daddy, I don’t need a chopper,” she said.
“You can’t breathe!”
“But I know how to solve that.”
“What? How?”
“Take off ten of my fifty layers.”
He just stared at her for a long moment. “What?”
“You’ve got so many layers on me, Daddy. I can’t breathe.”
“Little Rebel,” he said in a low, growly voice. “Are you telling me that you scared me to death over wearing some extra layers that you actuallyneed? Because it iswinter. InMontana. And it’sfreezing.”
His voice grew progressively louder, although no less growly.
Um.
Uh-oh.
She took a step back. Then another. Drat. She could kind of use some backup right now. If someone else were around, then Duke wouldn’t spank her ass.
And he looked like he really wanted to spank her ass.
She needed an intervention. Santa. Maybe one of his elves.
Was that really too much to ask for?
“I didn’t scare you to death, though, Daddy.”
“What?” He gave her a startled look.
“You’re still alive and breathing, so I didn’t scare you to death.”
He took another step forward, and she jumped back, convinced that she was about to get dragged into the back of his truck and have her ass spanked.
