“Nope, that’s not happening, Little girl. You are grounded and know that you can’t have anyone over for a sleepover.” Emmett said, crushing the dreams of both girls.
“Besides, I’ll be taking Olivia home. So once again, gather your things and tell your friend goodnight. We need to get you home.”
Miles held back the chuckle that bubbled up at her sigh. He could tell that his Little girl didn’t want to do that, but she didn’t have a choice.
It was getting late and Little girls needed to go to bed early so that they were plenty rested.
Liv would need to get used to it now because she would have a bedtime when she becomes his. That would only be one of the rules that she would have.
Miles was what some would call an overbearing Daddy. He would never say that he was strict, but rather he was thorough with keeping his Little Bunny safe.
After helping her into the truck and climbing in the driver seat, he pulled out his phone ready to enter her address.
“Okay, Little girl. Tell me where I’m headed.” He could tell that she didn’t want to give up that information.
“You have two options, Little one. You can either give me your address so that I can drive you home or you can come home with me and stay in my spare bedroom. Your choice.”
She shook her head and quickly rattled off her address.
Miles didn’t like the address she gave him. That was in the worst part of town, even worse than the shoebox that Raelyn had lived in.
He would be doing something about this as soon as she became his. No way would he be okay with his Little Bunny living here any longer than she needed to.
Following the GPS, he pulled out of the driveway and headed towards the place that his Little girl calls home.
CHAPTER SEVEN
OLIVIA
Olivia has been trying to calm the nerves raging inside of her as they made their way towards her house.
She wasn’t ashamed at all about where she lived, but Liv knew that he wasn’t going to be thrilled when they got there.
As he pulled into the parking spot in front of her apartment building, Olivia tried to dash out of the truck before Miles had a chance to put the truck into park. The stupid door wouldn’t budge though.
She tried again huffing when nothing happened. With a look of exasperation, Olivia turned and faced Miles not prepared for the look on his face.
“Little Bunny, I know that you didn’t just try and open the door while the truck was still moving?”
“Uh…no?” she questioned.
“Really? Cause if the child proof locks weren’t engaged you would have fallen right out of the truck while it was still moving. So would you like to try and answer my question again?”
“Okay, so maybe I did. It doesn’t matter because it’s not like I could get out anyways.”
“It seems like we need to have a small discussion about health and safety before I leave here tonight.”
Rolling her eyes, Olivia sighed and pulled on the door handle again hoping that it would magically open even though she knew that it wouldn’t. Who puts the child proof locks on anyways?
She heard Miles climb out of the truck and waited for him to make his appearance at her door. Olivia tried to slide out of the truck once he opened the door, but she was stopped by a hard chest.
“Olivia, it isn’t safe for you to climb out on your own. The truck is too high up and you will fall if you’re not careful.”
Olivia felt his hands slide around her waist before she was airborne, then landing on her feet.
Shutting the truck door, Miles grabbed her hand and led them towards the entrance of her building before she even had a chance to process what just happened.
Miles stepped to the side allowing her to lead them towards her apartment. The panic that had faded was back with full vengeance. This would be the first time she had let a man into her apartment since she escaped.
