Oops. Her hands creeped behind her to cover her bottom. She did not need another spanking.
“And you just gave me a big, fake smile to cover up your disappointment.”
“When did you get so observant, Daddy?”
“I’ve always been observant, little girl. Just because I’ve been busy doesn’t mean I don’t notice things. You’re not happy here?”
“I am!” she protested. “Really. I am.” She placed her hands on his shoulders. “I know you’re busy trying to find my stalker. And you have work. I’m fine.”
“Maeve,” he said warningly. “Don’t keep things from me.”
“I guess I got used to spending lots of time with you. But I know you’re busy because of me. I’m not complaining—”
He placed a hand over her mouth. “Hush, girl.”
She did the only thing that a Little could do in that situation.
She licked his palm.
His eyes widened. “Did you just lick my palm?”
She shook her head slowly. Then she did it again.
Oh, Lord. She was in trouble now.
“Did you lick my palm a second time?”
And there went her tongue.
This time, he removed his hand. He stared at his palm. Then at her.
“It was my tongue!” she said hastily. “It has a mind of its own.”
“Does it? Well, maybe your tongue needs something to keep it occupied.”
Hmm. That sounded enjoyable.
He stood and walked out of the small living room into the bedroom. At least they had a bit of space here. A very tidy space. At least, it had been before she moved in. She tried to clean up after herself. But sometimes it felt like for every one thing she put away, three more things got dropped in its place.
It was quite bizarre.
When he returned, he had her pacifier in his hand.
Drat. That wasn’t what she’d been wanting.
He raised his eyebrows at her. “You’re pouting, little girl.”
“Daddy, I never pout. But I was hoping for something else to occupy my mouth.”
“Poor baby. Open.” She opened her mouth and he put the pacifier in. “Now,
show me this doggy day spa. This guy here looks like he needs a good makeover.”
He picked up one of the scruffy that had come with her doggy day spa set.
Maeve couldn’t hide the big, genuine smile as one of the gruffest, toughest men she knew settled down to play with her.
