He smiled. He was well aware that newly mated Little girls had a lot to learn about the customs of his people. Though they were from the same pack, Alpha Protectors took caring for their mates far more seriously than the average shifters in town.

Though most of the inhabitants of the valley practiced some level of age play in their relationships, few went to thisextreme. Strong male Dominance was inherent in their species. The majority of females were deeply submissive to their mates. However, up here in the mountains, Alpha Protectors were far more dominant than any other males.

“A room just for you, Little doll. A place you can play and relax and take naps. Did I get the color scheme right?”

She turned her gaze back to the room, and he watched her expression as she scanned all around. “I love lavender,” she murmured. “It’s so pretty. But why do I need a nursery for babies?”

“Alpha Protectors take care of our mates in every intimate way, Little one,” he said gently. “From now on, I will take care of all your needs. You will learn to submit completely to me.”

When she struggled to pull her arms free of the towel, he stilled her with a hand on her bicep. “Relax, Little doll. I’ve got you.”

She whimpered. He could see the panic rising in her expression. He could scent it, too.

He carried her over to the changing table, placed her on her back, and opened the towel. Before she could go into a full panic, he threaded his fingers with hers and pressed their marks against each other.

Leaning over her, he met her gaze. “Deep breaths.”

She was panting and squirming, trying to find the edge of the towel with her other hand.

“Leave the towel alone, Little one,” he said, allowing his voice to hold a bit more of a command.

She stopped her efforts and curled her hand up between her breasts. “Scared, Daddy. No one has ever seen me naked.”

He smiled. “I’m glad. They never will, either. But as your Daddy, I will be intimately acquainted with your body, starting now. I need to examine you to make sure you’re not injured beyond the bruises. I want to give you some medicine to easeyour sore muscles. Tomorrow you will wake up achy from being manhandled in an unconscious state. I want to minimize that as much as possible.”

Her lips parted, and she licked them. “Are you going to consummate our mating now?”

He shook his head as he lifted his forearm from hers to ease back on the connection that was driving him to distraction, and he knew it would be doing the same thing to her. “No, Little doll. Not tonight. You’re too traumatized for me to introduce you to the kind of pleasure I will lavish on you for the rest of our lives. We’ll wait until your body is healed to do that.”

A relieved breath left her lungs. Not surprising. He knew Little girls had anxiety about their first sexual encounter. It was normal. She’d been kept pure for her entire twenty years. It was Brock’s responsibility to teach her how to accept and anticipate pleasure. She would learn, but he would take his time with her.

“Because of what happened today?” She looked away, turning her head toward the wall. “Because I’m dirty.”

“No, Little doll. You’re not dirty. You’re just as precious to me now as you were this morning. I would not have entered your body tonight no matter what had happened today. You need time to adjust first. Look at me,” he demanded.

She turned her head back in his direction.

“Good girl. I want you to be brave for me while I examine you.”

“I’m fine, Daddy.”

“Who will decide that, Little one?” He lifted a brow.

She swallowed. “Youwill, Daddy.”

“Good girl. I know you were taught to obey me, Suzette.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“I need you to trust that I have your best interests always at heart, and I will never do anything to hurt you. I need you to putyour faith in me as I guide you and train you to understand the ways of my people.”

“Okay, Daddy.” She was panting.

He could smell her arousal. He was certain when he parted her legs, he would find her dripping with need. It was normal. She was his mate. Her body was calling to him even though her mind had not yet caught up.

Chapter Five

Suzette had never been more unnerved in her life. It felt like the world was spinning too fast, and she wasn’t sure she could hold on. But it seemed like Brock—Daddy—knew everything. He understood how she felt and was prepared to help her.
