“You okay?” he asked gently.
“Uh-huh. I just forget sometimes that you’re not here just for me, but for all the women. I was just hoping I wouldn’t have to share you for a little while longer.”
That comment had Drake wishing for the same thing. But the only way to do that would be to retreat upstairs to the privacy of their rooms.
“Stay right here,” he said as he rose and walked away from the table.
It took just a moment to find their waitress and change their order. He also instructed her to bill their meals to his room. Their food was just being fixed, so she quickly managed the change and a few minutes later he had their food in a plastic bag with plenty of ketchup packets and plasticware to eat with. The waitress even added a couple of bottles of water since she had not delivered their drinks yet.
Taking the bag of food, he returned to the table and held out his free hand. “Let’s go.”
He was surprised when Lacy didn’t ask questions. Instead, she pushed out her chair, took his hand and walked with him to the bank of elevators. She used her free hand to push the call button as she bounced on her toes.
They did not speak until they were safe in their rooms with the doors secured for the night.
“Now, little girl, I want you to change into your Little pajamas and strip away all those Big thoughts and worries. From now until tomorrow morning Daddy is in charge.”
Lacy blinked, then nodded slowly. “Okay, Daddy.”
“Or would you like Daddy to help you get changed?”
“I can do it,” she whispered in a slightly higher tone.
He could almost see her shifting gears and sliding into her Little persona as she crossed the room to where her suitcase lay on the floor by the dresser.
“I’ll be next door changing. Come over when you’re ready and we’ll have dinner.”
“Okay, Daddy,” she said, sounding young and nervous and distracted all at once. After pulling out what looked like a set of bright-yellow pajamas, she looked over her shoulder at him.
“Good girl,” he said before stepping through the open doorway between their rooms, leaving her to change on her own.
Chapter 12
As soon as Drake moved out of sight, Lacy froze. She knew being a Little in a relationship with a Daddy meant she would have to accept punishments for naughtiness, but she wasn’t feeling very Little. What she really wanted was to be Big and have Drake fuck her until neither of them could move before falling asleep wrapped together.
She just wasn’t sure how to ask Drake for what she wanted.
Then she reminded herself that it didn’t matter if she was Little Lacy or Big Lacy as long as she was with him.
“Lacy? You okay in there?” Drake called from the other room a moment before he appeared in the doorway.
When he saw she had not moved, he took two steps toward her before stopping. “Lacy?”
Lacy shook herself before she said, “I’m okay. Just got lost in thought for a minute.”
Drake finished crossing the room and took her in his arms. “If you need more time, or want to take a step back, it will be okay.”
“No, that’s not it,” she said quickly. “I’m fine.”
Drake looked skeptical for a moment then looked down at her pajamas. “How about if I help you get changed? I shouldn’t expect my Little girl to dress herself without help.”
Lacy inhaled a breath as her Little side immediately pushed forward and all she wanted was to let this man take over. “Okay, Daddy.”
She stood in the circle of his arms and rested her head against his chest for another few seconds. Leaning into him, she was not surprised when he took her weight and held her tighter. He did not release her until she lifted her head and looked up at him.
He “All right, Lacy-girl, let’s take these grown-up clothes off and get you into your pajamas.”
Lacy cooperated as he stripped her down to her red cotton panties with the yellow rubber duck on the front. She had to fight the urge to cover herself, but somehow she kept her arms by her side.
