“Who will do the cooking and cleaning?”
He chuckled. “I will, Little one.”
“What will I do?”
“Whatever you want. If you have a hobby you want to pursue, I’ll make that happen. Some Littles like music or books or art. Whatever your heart desires.”
“What if I like knife play or bungee jumping?” she joked.
“Sassy girl…” He popped off the tray and unfastened her, but he kept his hands on the arms of the highchair. “My job as your mate is to make sure you’re safe and happy. That means there will be rules. Rules that are meant to keep you from getting hurt. If you break them, guess what happens?”
Her brown eyes were so pretty when they widened in shock. “I get spanked?”
“Exactly.” She didn’t seem overly incensed by the idea. In fact, as expected, she squirmed. So he dropped the next bomb. “Little girls who do naughty things in order to get their bottoms swatted do not get orgasms after a spanking.”
Her pretty cheeks turned pink again.
She was an absolute delight. He was the luckiest Alpha in the mountains.
Chapter Seven
Amber took off running toward the front door as soon as she scented Rylee in the clearing. She’d been waiting patiently for her friend to arrive ever since she’d eaten. Pacing, looking around Daddy’s home, learning her environment.
Suddenly she was swept off the floor when Isaac wrapped an arm around her from behind and lifted her off her feet, plastering her back to his front. He held her so high her feet were dangling, and her heart was racing.
His lips came to her ear, tickling. “No running in the house, and no opening the door to anyone without Daddy.”
“Okay, okay.” She squirmed in his grip, trying to get free, hoping he would set her down.
He held her tighter. “Try that again. A bit more reverent. A bit less snarky.”
“Sorry, Daddy. I won’t run or open the door.” It was humbling submitting to him.
“Good girl.”
She could scent Rylee and Hayes on the porch. They didn’t need to knock. She tried to be patient, knowing her Daddy was testing her.
Isaac surprised her when he tipped her head to the side and bit her neck.
She moaned as she went limp in his grip. There was no denying this man anything when he nipped at her sensitive skin. She would submit to him every time.
He gripped the tight muscle once more with his teeth and dragged them across her skin, silently demanding her compliance. “Be a good girl, Amber,” he said as he lifted his head and kissed her cheek.
She was off-kilter now. Aroused and wiggly. The room was spinning a bit as she was forced to face the intensity of their union.
Isaac finally opened the front door.
Amber was beyond aware that her dress was hiked up enough that their guests could see the front of her panties. Between the bite and him exposing her, she couldn’t overlook his dominance.
Rylee and Hayes were holding hands on the porch.
Rylee giggled and covered her mouth. “Welcome to the mountain,” she teased.
When Amber tried to wiggle in his arms to get him to put her down, he held her tighter, wrapping his arm around her hips. His mark lined up with her thigh as he nuzzled her ear again. “Submit,” he whispered.
She stopped struggling and whimpered, breathing heavily. Her panties were soaked with her arousal, her nipples pushing hard against the front of her dress. Without the layers of shifts she’d worn her entire life, there was no hiding the puckered tips. In addition, the bite on her neck throbbed with her pulse. He’d intentionally bitten her at the last second so Rylee and Hayes would see it.
“Good, Little wolf.” He lowered her to her feet. Everything about this mating was unconventional. She’d only had a taste ofwhat it meant to be mated to an Alpha Protector. She’d only been awake a short time since her transition. He’d made her aware of a few rules and asserted his authority, but there was so much more for her to learn. That much was obvious. Instead they had guests.
