He nearly backed out of it, he could do his research online, right? But it wasn’t the same as talking to an actual Daddy Dom.

And she deserved the best. Which is exactly what he wanted to give her.

“Shall we go?” she asked, reaching for her suitcase.

That familiar flare of annoyance filled him. But he dampened it down. Being an angry dick wasn’t who he wanted to be anymore.

He had to do better.

He would do better.

“Joey will be here any minute, let him carry it down.”

“Oh, but I can take it. There’s no reason for him to come all the way up here.” She slid her hand around the handle.

“Alice,” he said in a dark voice. Then he stopped himself.

You don’t have the right to boss her around.

“Yes?” she asked, peering at him in confusion.

God, she’d looked adorable in that onesie. He wondered if she had any more of them. If she had any cute outfits. And what she liked to play with or how young her Little was. Did she often suck her thumb? Did she need a pacifier?

“Just leave it for Joey. Please,” he managed to add on.

“Why are you doing that?” she asked.

“Doing what?”

“Saying please. That’s not really like you. Generally, you just bark out orders and expect to be obeyed.”

“Well, I sound like a real dick, don’t I?” he said.

She shrugged. “I don’t know. You carry it off well.”

“Yeah.” He stared down at her. “Are you saying you like when I boss you around?”

Alice peeked up at him, then away. “I wouldn’t go that far.”

Oh, she was lying to him.

“You lying to me, little girl?” he murmured.

A shudder ran through her and she opened her mouth to reply. But a knock sounded, interrupting them. He caught the relief on her face.

She’d definitely been lying. Which meant that shedidlike him bossing her around.

Interesting.

Another knock and he reached over to open the door to his smiling, cheerful brother.

“Hello!”

“As usual, you have shitty timing,” he told him.

Joey’s smile didn’t falter. “It’s a gift.”

“It’s a pain in the ass.”
