Finally, when my entire bottom is on fire and I’m a sobbing, snotty mess, he stops, his hand resting heavy on my scorched flesh.
“Are you going to be a good girl for me, Camilla?”
Again I bob my head up and down in confirmation, desperate for him to believe me.
“Let’s make extra sure you remember to behave the rest of our trip.”
Pain explodes in a thick line across the tops of my thighs and a sob wells up in my chest as my feet flutter uselessly against the carpet.
Again and again his belt whips across my exposed flesh as I collapse over his knee, sobbing around my pacifier. Tears and drool mingle on my cheeks, my chin, but I’m too wrapped up in misery to care about the mess he’s making of me.
By the time he finishes, and helps me curl up in his lap, I am very sorry indeed that I ignored his rules. And I vow then and there to be the best-behaved assistant he’s ever had.
Three more days. I only have to survive three more days and then I can forget all about strict, demanding Doctor D.
Chapter Six
Millie
“Go ahead, little one. Cry it all out.”
Rocking me gently in his arms, Donovan pats my partially covered bottom. And god help me if I don’t actually feel better now that the punishment is over. My heart calms, and I’m able to drag in a deep, shuddering breath through my nose.
My eyes flutter closed as I drop my head onto his shoulder and I suck on the pacifier. But the taste of his potion still lingers and I gag a little in response.
Donovan’s chest vibrates with laughter. “Let’s get you cleaned up and then you can have a fresh paci. Do you need to use your diaper before bed?”
For a moment, the urge to do so is nearly overwhelming. Despite wearing one every day I’ve lived on the island, I’ve never actuallyusedthem. The idea of changing myself never appealed and being changed by someone else always felt far too intimate to share with just anyone.
Which is why I can’t bring myself to use it now. As tempting as it is to finally live out my littlest dreams, the last person I want to share that intimacy with ishim.
So I shake my head, and the only thing more surprising than the fact that he offered in the first place is that he seems almost disappointed when I refuse.
“All right, little one. Let’s go get you washed up and into bed.”
With another shocking display of strength that doesn’t match his lithe figure, he rises from the edge of the bed with me still in his arms and carries me to the bathroom. Setting me on my feet in front of the sink, he gently tugs the pacifier from my mouth and sets it aside.
“Such a messy little baby,” he murmurs as he flips on the tap. “Look at you. Covered in drool. And your nose all runny from all that crying.”
The words are meant to humiliate me and damn him, it’s working. Lifting my face to the mirror, I watch as my face flushes red beneath the tears and drool.
But when I try to scoop the water into my hands to wash my face, he stops me with one of those sharp taps to my hand that makes me feel oh so Little. “I’ll do that. Little girls don’t clean themselves up.”
He’sreallyleaning into the Little girl thing, for reasons I can’t fathom, but the last thing I want to do is give him another reason to spank me so I keep my mouth shut as he scrubs my face clean. I balk a bit when he tries to blow my nose, but a stern look is all it takes for me to give in.
Three days. Just three more days.
By the time we get me cleaned up, I use the bathroom and he wraps me up in a fresh diaper, my eyes are already drooping closed. The last thing I’m aware of before falling into a dead sleep is fearsome Doctor D tucking Cobie into bed with me and giving us both a kiss goodnight.
Then again, that part could have been a dream.
Yeah. It was probably just a dream.
Donovan
She looks so innocent, curled up on her side with her blue dragon stuffie clutched in her arms. And the way she smiled when I kissed her and Cobie both goodnight tells me she isn’t as impervious to our attraction as I previously thought.
As I watch her sleep, she whimpers softly, her brows drawing together almost as if she’s worrying about something. Poor little thing.
