“Yeah, I guess.”
“Because you know that you have nothing to be frightened of, right? I’ll be taking care of you. The entire time. It’s up to me to worry about all of that. All you need to do is have fun. I promise I will not lose you. Ever. If you feel funny on the plane, I’ll hold you tight. If we get sick, they have hospitals. If they lose our luggage, I’ll buy us new clothes. Nothing bad is going to happen. Not while Daddy is with you.”
“I know, Daddy. I’m sorry. I’m being silly, aren’t I?”
He kissed the top of her forehead. “It’s okay to be frightened of the unknown. What’s not okay is keeping all this from Daddy.”
“I know, I feel really terrible about that.” She put her hand over her tummy. “Are you going to spank me?”
“Do you think I should?” he murmured.
“Yes, Daddy. I deserve it. And I need it to get rid of that icky feeling im my tummy.”
“Yes, I’m going to spank you. Then you’re having a nap. And every day until we leave, you’ll be having a nap.”
“But how? I’ll be working.”
“After lunch, you’ll be taking a nap on the couch in my office.”
She gaped up at him. “I can’t nap at work!”
“You can and you will,” he said firmly. “Because Daddy is in charge.”
Yikes.
Napping in his office every day was going to be weird. But she decided she was best not to argue. Duke had his serious face on. He meant business.
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Right, over my lap you go. It’s time for your punishment, then bed.”
He arranged her over his thighs and tugged down her pajama bottoms and panties.
“Wait!” she protested as he rubbed her ass.
“What is it?”
“Sav! He’ll hear.” Duke never spanked her when he was around.
“You need to start trusting Daddy,” Duke growled at her.
She turned to look at him. “I do trust you, Daddy.”
“Then you should know I wouldn’t do anything to humiliate you.”
Shoot. She should know that. She slumped over him, her legs and chest were resting on the mattress.
“I’m sorry, Daddy.” She sniffled. “You’re right.”
“Shh,” he told her kindly. “You’re tired and not thinking properly. Let’s get this done so you can nap.”
He wasn’t playing around as he smacked his hand down on her ass. Soon, she was kicking her feet, her bottom on fire as he laid into it. By the time he finished the spanking, she was a mess. He rolled her onto her side on the bed, then grabbed some tissues and crouched by the bed to clean her up.
Instead of pulling up her pants, he drew them completely off, then tucked her into the bed before curling up behind her.
“Shh, little rebel. You’re all right. Daddy has you. That’s right. Now, Daddy wants you to close your eyes. Just listen to the sound of my voice. Daddy has you. Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Good girl. Go to sleep now. That’s my good girl.”
She fell asleep with a smile on her face.

“Ahh, yes, sir, here is your booking,” the woman at the airport said.
“Is there a problem?” Duke asked, squeezing her hand tight. He’d told her before they’d even gotten dropped off that she wasn’t allowed to leave his side without permission. Even if she had to pee.
Instead of feeling embarrassed or grumpy, she just felt relieved that he was going to keep her close.
“No problem, sir. We just had a change to your tickets.”
They’d heard their names being called over the speakers as soon as they entered the airport, asking them to report to a customer service desk.
“A change?” Duke asked.
“Yes, sir, you’ve been upgraded to First Class.”
“What?” Duke asked. “Why?”
“I have a note here saying that someone paid for an upgrade. Oh, and he left a note.” She handed over a piece of paper. “Now, I’ll get you booked in and you can head to the First Class lounge.”
It wasn’t until they were settled in the lovely lounge that Duke had a chance to open the envelope. A scowl settled on his face. “That bastard.”
Uh-oh.
She peered over his shoulder at the note.
Enjoy the upgrade. Treat my girl right. I wouldn’t want to have to gut you.
The Fox.
Duke crunched up the piece of paper. “That interfering bastard.”
“He’s just trying to do something nice,” she told him, wincing at his glower. “In his own weird way.”
“He’s a controlling asshole,” Duke replied. He ran his hand over his face with a sigh.
“Are you really mad?”
“Mad about First Class tickets? Kind of hard to be mad about that.” He eyed her. “I wish I could give you that.”
Reaching over, she grasped hold of his chin. After a week of him making her nap and basically babying her, she was feeling so much better. And she knew that he needed her right now.
“Daddy, you give me everything I could ever want and more. You love me. That’s all I need. Everything else is just extra cherries on an ice cream sundae. This is nice.” She waved around where they were. “But it’s not what I need. That’s you. Understand?”
