Chapter 17
The next two weeks went by quickly. The snow came, dusting Portland in a beautiful, almost magical glow. The holiday season was fast upon them, the trees lit with twinkling lights, noses and cheeks red from the bite of cold winds. Teagan found her place within her Daddy's arms. There were a few more spankings and many more orgasms. Luca was the perfect Daddy friend, as Teagan would mutter to herself before breaking out into a fit of laughter. Patient, kind but strict, and consistent in his rules. He truly was making her a better person.
In a few short weeks, she felt like she had known Luca her entire life. They spoke multiple times a day via text and always spoke before bed if they weren't physically together. She had a new normal. Every Tuesday, they had dinner at Ro's house. Tonight, was the third Tuesday of December, and Jason and Evie would be joining them for the first time. It wouldn't be the typical dinner, as there were many topics on the agenda for discussion.
It was almost noon when Teagan got out of the shower and was getting ready for work. She had settled into a routine of sorts, but it was completely off today, as she had been woken in the middle of the night by a case and hadn't left work until the early hours in the morning. Her phone was full of missed texts. Both her sisters had been Chatty-Cathys, her partner had a couple questions about the case, and Luca had sent a series of texts that got increasingly more aggressive as they went unanswered. One of the ways he had been challenging her to be better was to help her get into healthier sleeping and eating patterns. She had balked at first, but now, Teagan had to admit that she had more energy than ever. It was no surprise then, when she saw his last text.
I am assuming you are still sleeping or you stayed up too late. What time did you go to bed last night, darlin'? Luca inquired via text.
Morning, Daddy, late night case. I'm just getting going for the day.
That is acceptable. Are you all right?Luca had asked her that after every case she responded to. It was sweet how he worried about her. At first, she had balked at his concern, seeing it as him doubting her strength. Now, she saw his question as genuine care for her.
I am good, Daddy.
I have a busy day today. I'll be thinking of you, but I might be unreachable. See you at dinner?
Of course. You know how much I love Ro's tacos.
I'll have you for dessert.
Teagan giggled as she slipped on her boots and grabbed her coat. She had felt lighter since the night Luca had taken her anal virginity. The raw, primal experience of his ownership had been the light switch that went off in her brain, the final push of acceptance. He had shown her since then how enjoyable anal could be and how orgasm denial was an affective punishment. There were other punishments he had introduced when she tested him just past being a brat; his creativity had no ends. Luca was a firm believer in making the punishment fit the crime. Stay up too late? Early bedtime. Mouthy? Soap was the cure. She had written lines and an essay and, of course, had more than one sore behind. Teagan hadn't gone a day without a punishment, but she hadn't felt a single ounce of regret about finally submitting to Luca.
"Are you going to tell me who has caused this smile to light up your face these past couple of weeks?" Lieutenant Downy didn't bother knocking before coming into Teagan's office.
"You know I found my sisters," she said vaguely.
"I do. My wife and I were incredibly happy to see that you had a family and that the three of you embraced each other. I can credit them for part of your happiness, but I know what love looks like, and you are glowing like a woman in love," Downy countered.
"Am I?" She answered a question with a question, a trait she had learned from being around the members of S.E.A.L., all of whom had been trained in interrogation, and she had been picking up a few techniques, storing them in her back pocket for tactical use.
"You are, indeed. Someday, I hope you will trust me enough to tell me. And, Teagan?"
"Yes, boss?"
"I've already approved your vacation time from Christmas Eve until the third of January."
"I… what?" She hadn't put in a vacation request.
"You've been working every holiday since you started working for the department. I put in leave for you. I want you to enjoy this first holiday season with your sisters and this maybe-suitor of yours," the large, balding man said from the doorframe. He winked at Teagan before leaving just as quickly as he had come.
Scratching her head, she turned back to her computer and continued to type away, hoping to speed the day away. She couldn't wait to be eating Ro's delicious tacos while cuddled in Luca's arms.

Teagan stomped up the sidewalk and tapped the snow off of her boots before entering the Eriksons' house. She didn't bother knocking, Ro had blistered her ears on more than one occasion for doing so when she was expected. She was family.
The laughter sounded forced to her ears; that was a first. "Teagan! There you are!" Ro swung into the room, took her by the arm and pulled her into the kitchen, sending her barely removed boot flying. All Teagan could do was laugh. "I made that guacamole that you like so much." Ro pushed an empty plate into her hands and pointed to the large array of food stretching across the counter.
"Don't worry! I'm not Evie. I'll fill my plate up." She started to do just that. Chips loaded, she started topping with meat, beans, cheese and a big scoop of homemade guacamole.
"Hey! I heard that!" Evie came around the corner, glaring at her sisters. Ro thrust a plate into her empty hands, but unlike Teagan, Evie carefully made her selections. She filled her plate with lettuce and vegetables.
"That can't be all you are eating," Jason said, scowling at Evie's plate. She picked up a small spoonful of cheese and sprinkled it on top.
"I see the party is in here!" Teagan turned to the sound of Luca's voice as he came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist and stole a chip. After chewing, he bent down and kissed her.
"Now, that is something I won't get tired of seeing," Ro said, observing them. "It's almost like you two like each other or something."
