Letting out a quiet whine, I do, and when he tucks his thumbs into the back of my leggings and diaper and tugs, I bite my bottom lip.
“Daddy, I’m sorry.”
It’s too late. Once I’ve crossed the line with Daddy, he doesn’t back down. It’s my favorite thing about him. I have no idea why I’ve been sassy all morning. Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well last night because of how excited I’ve been for this trip. It could also be because I’m getting close to my period, too. I get a little more bratty around that time.
His hand lands on one of my butt cheeks with a loud crack, and I bounce on my tiptoes as the sting spreads through me.
“I don’t know why you woke up and chose violence today, sweetheart, but you should know by now that you’re not going to get away with it.”
Without waiting for a response, Hawk peppers my bottom hard and fast, holding me with his other hand while trapping me against his pelvis so I can’t squirm anywhere.
Tears instantly fill my eyes, the way they always do when he punishes me like this. It’s quick, to the point, and with no breaks in between.
A sob breaks free, and he stops as quickly as he started, then reaches down and pulls my diaper up and adjusts it into place, then does my leggings next.
As soon as he turns me around to face him, I wrap my arms around his neck. Next, he lifts me with ease while I lock my legs around him.
“I got you, baby,” he murmurs as he leans against the car and rubs a hand up and down my back. “Daddy’s got you.”
“I’m sorry.” I cling to him and soak in his warmth, hating that I started the trip off by upsetting him. “I shouldn’t have been a brat.”
Hawk pulls his head back slightly so we’re able to look at each other. “Baby, I love youbecauseyou are a brat.Mybrat. And if that means I need to pull the car over and spank your bottom on the side of the fucking road so we can reconnect, I will do it. Understand?”
I nod and nuzzle into him while he gives me several kisses on my face. “Words, Ellie.”
“Yes, Daddy. I understand.” I sniffle and look at him again. “Did I ruin our vacation?”
My normally scowling husband actually smiles, and gosh, he’s beautiful when he does.
“You being a naughty Little girl on our vacation that is purely meant for you to be in Little Space the entire time didn’t ruin anything. I have a feeling you won’t be sitting comfortably for most of the trip. It’s going to be the most amazing time.”
The corners of my lips finally curl up, and I nod. It’s silly that I still worry so much after being together this long, but thankfully, Hawk and I recognize it will take a lot longer than a couple of years to heal our trauma.
He gently runs the pad of his thumb over my cheeks to dry them and then cups the back of my head. “Ready? We have an hour left of the drive. After I get you buckled in, I’m going to give you your paci, and I want you to sleep the rest of the way.”
I nod, and he raises an eyebrow.
“Yes, Daddy,” I whisper.
“Good girl.” When he opens the car door and lowers me into the seat, I suck in a breath as I try to get comfortable on my stinging bottom.
Lucy looks at me with wide, worried eyes, but she doesn’t say anything. It’s not like this is new to any of us, but as Littles, we always worry about our friends when they’re in trouble.
Hawk buckles me in and pulls a blanket over me, then slides my pacifier between my lips before he presses a kiss to my forehead and shuts the door.
As soon as he drives off, I find myself barely able to keep my eyes open.
Hawk
My girl needs this vacation.She works so hard at the dog rescue, and even though I only let her work a maximum of forty hours a week, I know her job is emotionally and mentally draining. Every night at bedtime, I help her escape into her Little headspace, but it’s been a while since she’s had the time or energy to really submerge herself like she’ll be able to while we’re here. It doesn’t matter how naughty she wants to be; I’ll be right there to spank her perfect ass and then hold her and reassure her that she’s my good girl.
Somehow, we managed to get the car unloaded without waking Ellie up, and she’s been sleeping now for almost three hours. I’m sure her diaper is soaked by now, and her schedule might be thrown off tonight, but I don’t give a shit. She needs to rest. With all her tossing and turning last night, I’d be surprised if she even slept for two hours. So yeah, I’m going to stay in this car with her until she wakes up on her own, and then we’ll go join the rest of our family in the enormous lodge we’ve rented.
Jesus, it’s beautiful.
We get snow in Seattle sometimes, but it’s nothing like this beautiful blanket of white surrounding us. So clean and fluffy. The girls are going to have a blast playing out here in the daylight.
Colt rented this place from a friend of his who lives in the area. We asked them if they would put Christmas lights up around the outside of the lodge, but not to decorate the inside, so the girls could all do it. I can already tell the inside is going to be more stunning than the photos because the outside is truly breathtaking.
