It’s time. Tonight.
Stretched out on the couch with Adele snuggled up against my side, I studied Mikey’s text for a third time. Over the past few days, I’d spent every moment I wasn’t with Adele poring over the layout of Giorgio’s compound, the security, everything I could to prepare for this moment.
Turning the screen off, I set the phone aside and pulled Adele in closer so I could drop a kiss to the top of her head. “I have a favor.”
“Mmmm.” Her hand moved to my thigh, a light, teasing touch that instantly had my cock standing at attention. “What kind of favor?”
“While I appreciate where your mind is, not that kind of favor.” I paused, weighing my words. Despite her naturally submissive nature, Adele wasn’t the kind to simply sit and stay because Daddy said so. “I’d like for you to stay here tonight.”
“That is not much of a favor. I had assumed I would be coming here after work, yes?”
“Yes. But I think you should call off. Actually, I’d prefer if you went ahead and told your agency you will not be coming to work ever again.”
Sitting up to face me, Adele’s forehead scrunched up in a way that told me she was preparing for a fight. “I cannot simply quit without notice. I have work to do.”
I felt my own temper spike in response, but I was careful to keep my expression and tone as neutral as possible. “You don’t need the job. And we’re leaving soon for Chicago, so it’s really just a few days early.”
“But it is not professional to leave so abruptly. They are expecting me this evening.”
“Adele, this is not a request.” Capturing her chin in my hand, I put more steel behind my words. “I do not want you anywhere near Giorgio’s estate ever again. If I catch you there, there will be no pleasure for you in the punishment you’ll be receiving. Am I making myself perfectly clear, little girl?”
The struggle played out clearly in her eyes before she finally gave in with a pout. “Yes, Sir. I will call.”
“Good girl. Since you don’t have to get ready for work, why don’t you go take a nap? I have some things to do before this evening.”
“What is this evening?”
There was a note of curiosity in her tone, but no more than I would expect under the circumstances. “I have a meeting with some business associates.”
“Oh. And am I not allowed to attend?”
“I’m afraid you’d be bored to tears, sweetheart. I’ll make it up to you tomorrow, but tonight you’ll be on your own here at the apartment.”
“But I want to come with you. I barely know anything about what it is you do.”
“Trust me, you’ll be much happier here at home.” Pulling her close, I brushed a kiss across the crown of her head. “Go make that phone call and take a nap while I get some prep work done for this meeting. I’ll wake you before I go.”
“Yes, Sir.” Moving somewhat more stiffly than usual, she rose from the couch and headed to the bedroom. It was obvious her feelings were hurt, but there was little to be done about it, now. Still, a sulky babygirl could easily turn into a defiant one, and this was one time I would not be disobeyed. Not when her life could very well depend on her obedience.
“Adele,” I called after her, stopping her before she disappeared into the bedroom.
“Yes?” she replied without turning back, her voice tight with obvious annoyance.
“If you do not make that phone call before I have to leave this evening, you will find sitting to be a very uncomfortable option for several days. Am I understood?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
Still sulky, but I trusted she would obey in spite of it. “Good girl.”
I waited for the bedroom door to close behind her before making my way to the office where I pulled up the blueprints for Giorgio’s home one more time. Picking up my phone, I dialed Mikey’s number.
“Yeah.”
“Let’s go over the plan again. I don’t want any mistakes tonight.”
