She arched into the pain, her head tipping back. “Sure…” she breathed. “That will work.”
He chuckled as he released her swollen buds. “That’s not the punishment, naughty girl. Even clamping your nipples wouldn’t be effective. I’m sure you’d enjoy the torment.” Grabbing her bottom to stop her from masturbating against him, he met her gaze. “But diapering you more often might work. It would put more of a barrier between your legs to keep you from rubbing your hot pussy against me every chance you get.”
She pouted. “That’s silly.”
He lifted a brow, challenging her as he eased back on his tight grip.
Amber shifted backward, just enough to keep it from being obvious how much she enjoyed rubbing herself. If he gave her permission, she could easily make herself come in seconds. Insatiable Little thing.
“Good girl. Now about the bears… Are you sure you want to meet them today?” He hated sharing her. After the first two days of meeting up with far too many Alphas and their mates, the two of them had remained relatively sequestered for a week. Isaac had spoken to his brother, his parents, and a few others by phone every day, but he and his mate hadn’t left the house, nor had anyone come over.
It had been blissful and allowed the two of them to deepen their bond and develop a routine. It wasn’t exactly a conventional routine. Hayes and the others weren’t going to be pleased when they learned how Isaac let his mate walk all over him. They would worry that she might influence the other girls and wreak havoc. Isaac couldn’t deny it was a possibility.
She threaded her small fingers in the back of his hair. “Yes, Daddy.”
Her blond curls were down and loose and messy this morning. He hadn’t done anything to secure them yet, mostly because he liked this look on her. Tussled. Recently fucked.
Matching her, he wove his fingers into the long locks. The pressure against her scalp made her breath hitch. He kissed her. “They’re meeting at Brock and Suzette’s house after lunch. There will be a lot of people there. You’ve never even gone for a run yet.”
He was leery about this plan, mostly because he was selfish and didn’t want to share his mate. It had only been a week. He wanted a month. He wasn’t going to get it, of course. There was too much going on to hide away with his Little girl for that long. But he could grumble about the injustice. No one would listen, but he could at least grumble.
“I’ll be fine, Daddy. You said running in wolf form will come naturally. You said I won’t have any trouble.”
He chuckled. He had said that. Too late to pretend otherwise now. Besides he would never be in the habit of telling Amber fibs.
“I haven’t met all the Alphas or their mates yet. I can’t even remember everyone from the first day when we got here. I only saw them for a few minutes. You didn’t even introduce me to most of them. And it’s important for me to know Thorn and Surge. You said so yourself.”
He nuzzled his nose against hers. “Must you remember every single thing I say?” he teased.
She giggled. “Yes. It’s my duty as your mate. My mother taught me to listen closely and remember your likes and dislikes so I could prepare your favorite meals and maintain your home to your satisfaction. Since you don’t let me do any of those things, I’m going to grow quite bored. I need a new focus.”
She sat taller on his lap. She was making the sassiest argument in the history of arguments, and she was doing so while continuing to rock her clit against him.
Toying with the neckline of his T-shirt, she pasted on a fake, exaggerated serious expression and continued, “It’s myduty, Daddy. It would be impolite if I didn’t learn all your pack members’ names and their mates. Plus the bears. How can I possibly help out if I haven’t done everything in my power to memorize their faces with their names?” Her voice was beyond silly. She wasn’t even trying to sound believable.
Isaac started laughing. He couldn’t help himself. And the fact that he could never keep a straight face when his Little mate was sassy like this was exactly why she was able to climb all over him, literally and figuratively. The naughty girl had started this conversation by crawling up onto his lap so she could make her case while distracting him with her soaked panties.
She pushed her bottom lip out and cocked her head to the side. “How about if you go ahead and spank me now. That way I’ll have the reminder while we’re at the meeting. Maybe if my bottom is sore, it will help me behave. Sort of like a preemptive punishment.”
He laughed harder. “You are the naughtiest Little girl I’ve ever met. I can’t decide if you were born like this or if I’ve been too soft on you and turned you into a conniving Little thing.”
She giggled, which only wrapped him even tighter around her finger. “Daddy…”
It was time to turn the tables. “I’ll make you a deal.”
She narrowed her eyes skeptically.
“I’ll sink my teeth into your tender neck before we leave so that you’re well and truly marked for everyone to see. If you’re a good girl at the meeting, I’ll paddle your bottom until it’s bright red and on fire when we get home. If you’re naughty…” He let that word linger between them for a few seconds. “I’ll diaper youand put you to bed when we get home with no relief for that sweet pussy.”
She gasped, eyes wide again. “Define naughty in this instance.”
Yes. He had definitely created a monster. Sneaky Little thing was planning to negotiate what behaviors would be acceptable.
“Like does spinning around in circles until I get dizzy land me in a diaper or over your knee with that wicked paddle that burns so deeply when you strike me with it? What about conspiring with the other girls? If it’s all in good fun, is it still considered naughty?”
She never ceased to shock him, and she worked hard every day to surprise him with strings of words that flew out of her mouth so fast it was hard to believe she hadn’t rehearsed them.
He tugged her messy hair back, exposing her neck. “Any behavior deemed as unsafe like running away from my side while we’re traveling, stepping even one foot out of my line of sight when we arrive, getting too close to the edge of a ridge, or ignoring any safety command I add along the way. Anything that will cause me to lose years off the end of my life out of fear for your health and wellbeing will land you in your crib without permission to come for the rest of the day. Conspiring with the other Little girls to sneak away with snacks, convince the Alphas you need a playdate, or otherwise tricking the Daddies will earn you the paddle.”
