Page 14 of Daddy's Little Bunny (Ivory Mountain Daddies #2)

“I never thought that this would exist outside of the books I read. It always felt silly to dream about being a Little and having a Daddy and nursery to call mine, but that’s exactly what you are giving me right here.”

He pressed a kiss on her forehead. He wanted nothing more than to make her dreams come true and this was a step in that direction.

“Go explore, Little one. Daddy will be right over there.”

Miles settled into the rocker in the corner of the room and watched Olivia continue her exploration.

He watched her sit in front of the bookshelf. She reached out and started to run her fingers across the spines of the books.

“I have read a lot of these already, but there’s so many here that I haven’t seen before.”

“Good. Just means that Daddy can read them to you sometime.”

She gave him a beautiful grin before crawling over to the toy box. Opening the lid, she began pulling out different toys oohing and ahhing at every one of them she pulled out.

“Would you like to play with something there?”

He watched her bite her lip at his question. Standing up, Miles made his way to her and squatted down to her level before and freeing her lip from between her teeth.

“No biting. Tell Daddy what you want to do.”

“Can we play with the blocks? I loved playing with them growing up. I want to build the biggest castle ever.”

Running his hand over her head, Miles settled beside her and started to pull out the blocks for them to play with.

Miles was pleased to watch her shoulders relax and all the worries seemed to melt off her beautiful face. Any lingering worries that he had about her being a Little faded at the sight.

They continued to play for a few hours before Miles slipped out of the room to go make her a light snack and fill a water cup. He decided to test another limit with her and pulled out the Little plate and sippy cup that he had in the cabinet.

Putting some peanut butter and a chopped up apple on the ladybug decorated plate Miles filled the matching sippy cup and started making his way back towards the nursery. The buzzing of a phone stopped him short before he walked down the hallway.

Noting that it was Olivia’s phone, Miles grabbed it thinking that it might be important. The screen woke and what he saw made his heart drop.

Unknown: Now Cassidy, it’s naughty to ignore my phone calls. You will pay for that little stunt dearly.

It buzzed again with another text.

Unknown: Continue to run and hide. It’s fine, but just know you will never be safe and that I’m always watching. Waiting for my moment to take back what is mine.

Miles dropped the phone back on the table. Schooling the avalanche of emotions that he felt within, he headed back into the nursery and placed the plate and sippy on the floor beside her.

Sitting back in the rocking chair, Miles continued to watch over Liv as he formulated a plan in his head. No one was going to harm his Little girl and he would make sure of it.

Miles was surprised that Liv played all afternoon without a care in the world. As the evening was nearing, he knew that it was important for her to ease back out of Littlespace before traveling back home to prepare for her week ahead.

“Okay, Little Bunny. Daddy needs you to clean up the toys now. It’s time to go have dinner.”

“No, thank you. You can go though. I know that old people need to eat on a regular schedule.”

His eyebrow rose at her ignoring his direction. It seems that his Little girl was a sassy little thing when in Littlespace .

“That wasn’t a suggestion, Bunny. Pick up your toys now, please.”

Miles watched as she continued to play. It seems like he was going to need to take a different approach.

Weighing the odds of it backfiring on him, Miles walked over and placed a finger under her chin forcing her to look at him.

“You have two minutes to clean up your toys or you will spend time over my knee before dinner this evening.”

Her eyes widened at his statement. He knew it was a risk to voice a physical punishment like that, but it was one he was willing to take.

That finally caught her attention and she quickly started to pick up the blocks and placed them in the toy box. Once done, Miles helped her stand and they made their way back out of the nursery.

He watched her slide onto the barstool and wait to see what to do next. Deciding to let her come back to her Big side naturally, he started to cook dinner waiting to ask questions about her thoughts of it all.

Ten minutes passed before he cleared his throat.

“Did you have fun this afternoon, Liv?”

“I did. I really enjoyed being able to play with the blocks. It was everything that I remembered it to be.”

“Is there something that you would have liked to do differently?”

He loved that she took the time to consider his question rather than just blurting out the first thing that came to mind.

“No, I don't think so. It was a little hard at first to completely erase the thoughts that had been running rampant in my mind, but once I did, it was like the weight of the world eased off my shoulders.”

“That’s wonderful, babygirl.”

“Thank you for playing with me. I’m sure that you had better things that you could have been doing.”

“There was nothing more important for me to do than spend time with you.”

She blushed at his words. Deciding to keep the knowledge of those text messages to himself, Miles continued to ask questions, helping her fully come out of Littlespace.

By time dinner was done, Little Olivia was gone and she was back to being her adult self.

“I would love nothing more than to be able to convince you to stay another night, but I know that you have to work tomorrow.”

She nodded her head.

“I don’t want you driving while it’s too late and is too dark for you to see.”

“I don’t want that either. I don’t like the dark at all.”

“Good. Head on home, babygirl, but text Daddy as soon as you get there.”

“Okay, I can do that, Miles.”

“One day you will call me Daddy and I can’t wait to hear that word fall from your sweet lips.”

Helping her out to the car, Miles placed her bag on the passenger seat before heading around to where she stood on the other side. Grabbing her hips and pulling her close, he planted a kiss on her lips.

While he had intended to keep it short and sweet, it seemed like his Little girl had different plans. Letting her take the lead, they stood there making out like teenagers before Miles finally pulled away.

“If you don’t get in the car now, I won’t let you go anywhere but to my bedroom.”

A blush bloomed across her cheeks before she turned and slid into the car and buckled .

“Goodnight, Miles.”

“Goodnight, Little one. Drive safe and remember to text me when you get home.”

Miles stood in the driveway long after her taillights had faded. Knowing what he needed to do, he turned and headed inside. There was only one way to get more information about the mystery texts and he knew exactly where to start.
