Gavin kept his hands on her thighs and stroked her skin. “You waited kind of long, Baby girl.”
“I didn’t realize I had to go until it was suddenly urgent.” Her cheeks were pink, and he feared she was embarrassed.
“It’s okay, Little one. You made it.” He wiped her before lifting her back onto her feet.
“Daddy…”
“Yes?”
“That was too stressful. Will you please just put a diaper on me?”
“Of course, Baby girl.” He was surprised, especially since she’d gone now, and she’d made it. But he certainly didn’t mind diapering her. He preferred it when she let him care for her intimate needs. “Hold my shoulders.”
He reached down to remove her shoes and pull her leggings and panties off before swinging her up onto the changing table Felix had in the guest bathroom. Not every house had a changing table in the bathroom, but Gavin knew Khloe usually wore a diaper, so perhaps that was why. In fact, maybe that was why Molly asked for one.
Gavin grabbed a diaper from the shelf under the table and lifted Molly’s legs to slide it under her. He opened a drawer to find some cream and applied it to Molly’s folds.
“Daddy…”
“Yes, Baby girl?”
Her cheeks were bright pink, and she didn’t meet his gaze. “Will you put the plug in me, too?”
Now he was even more surprised.
“Did you do something naughty, Little one?”
She shook her head. “No. It just makes me feel like you’re with me even when you’re not. Is that silly?”
He bent over and kissed her tummy. “Not at all. Every time you squirm, you’ll be reminded that Daddy loves you and that no part of you is off-limits, won’t you?”
“Yes, Sir,” she murmured.
He tried not to gloat, but inside he was ecstatic. He’d never dreamed he would have a bond this close with his Little. It simply wasn’t something anyone could describe. They’d tried, but until an Alpha Protector experienced their own bond with their mate, they could not fully grasp the intensity.
As he pushed the plug into his girl’s bottom, she bit her lip and whimpered. Her essence leaked out to fill him with every breath he took. She was the most precious creature on Earth.
There were so many questions about her gift, and he knew they wouldn’t likely get answers for possibly years to come, but it didn’t matter. He would do everything in his power to hone her gift and make sure she was ready to support the pack any way necessary. Whenever she was needed, she would step up to the plate.
Yes, it was scary. He didn’t like her being in any danger. He hated that she was bombarded with noises all the time. He would prefer she have an easy life with no worries. But that’s not the hand they were dealt, and she was so very brave, never complaining about the discomfort she felt every time she was out of the silent room.
She hadn’t said a single word about the toll it was undoubtedly taking on her to block all the excess noises to be here. She would probably fall asleep when they got home and sleep clear until morning.
Gavin would watch over her. She would be safe and loved.
As soon as he had the diaper secured, he replaced her leggings and her shoes. When he lifted her up, she wrapped her small arms around him. “Thank you, Daddy. I love you.”
“I love you, too, Baby girl.” He kissed her neck and rubbed her back for a while before tucking her panties in his pocket and standing her on her feet. “Are you ready to go home? Or do you want to go back with the girls and stay for lunch?”
“I want to stay, Daddy.”
“Okay. You let me know if it gets too overwhelming.” He gave her bottom a pat to send her off toward Khloe’s playroom. He watched her until she disappeared. She was so adorable, and all his.
Based on the way she skipped to rejoin her new friends, he knew she was feeling far more confident. There was no way she would have asked to be diapered if she was still worried theywould make fun of her, not even after most likely discovering Khloe was diapered.
Returning to the kitchen, he resumed his spot around the large table with the other men. They were all rather somber for this meeting. It seemed monumental that yet a third mate had odd powers. Several of the pack elders had joined them by speakerphone earlier.
Arion sat absently tapping a pen on the table. “I think we need to be prepared that there will be more mates with more abilities.”
