“I’ve got to take this, you got her?” he asked Grady.
“Of course. I’ll get her bottle and put her back down for a nap.”
“No nap!” she cried.
Daddy G sent her a stern look. “You will do as you’re told, Twinkletoes.”
Darn it.
Damon kissed the top of her head and moved out of the room, already on his phone.
She finished her lines with a triumphant shout. “Finished!”
Grady took the piece of paper, reading over it. “Very good.”
“Thanks, Daddy G. I tried my hardest.”
He sent her a soft look. “Let me get your bot-bot and then it’s time for your nap.”
“But I’m really not tired and I slept a little bit. Couldn’t I just watch TV or something?”
“No. You need your rest. Remember what the doctor said? Lots of rest and no stress.”
“TV isn’t stressful.”
“Yesterday, you cried watching a nature show.”
“The lions were being so mean! That doesn’t count.”
The look he shot her was filled with doubt. He refilled one of her bot-bots with water and then handed it to her before picking her up and cradling her against his chest.
“Daddy G, I don’t think I can sleep.”
“What if I lay down with you?”
“Really? A special nap?”
“Special nap,” he confirmed.
“Will you wrap me?”
“If you like.”
“Uh-huh. And I gets to suck on your diddle?”
“If you swear to never call it a diddle again, you can,” he said sternly.
She couldn’t hold back a giggle. “Deal.”
He set her down on the floor next to the changing table. Then he laid a thin muslin blanket on the table. Lifting her, he placed her on top of the blanket and wrapped her up tight.
“Good, Twinkletoes?” he asked.
“Yes, Daddy G. Perfect.” She already felt much more relaxed. Even more so when he picked her up and set her on his lap in the rocking chair.
He placed the nipple of her bot-bot to her lips and she started sucking back some water. Her eyes closed as he started singing her favorite nursery rhyme.
When she’d had enough water, she turned her head away. “No mores, Daddy G. Effie will have to pee.”
“Do you have to pee right now?” he asked.
“No. Not yet. Effie sleep now. With Daddy G,” she said demandingly.
“All right, we’ll have to go sleep in my bed, though. There’s not enough room for Daddy in your crib.”
“Okay, Daddy G.”
He carried her out of her playroom and into his room. Setting her down, he drew the covers back and placed some pillows along one side of the bed so she wouldn’t roll out.
Her Daddies always took the best care of her.
As he laid her on the bed, he placed her so she was halfway down the bed before he stripped off naked and lay down next to her, pulling the covers up over her head. They were both on their sides, facing each other. Her face was level with his cock, and leaning in, she latched on.
He let out a sigh, running his fingers through her hair. “Sleep, Daddy’s sweetheart.”
And after a few minutes of sucking on his cock, that’s exactly what she did. Safe with her Daddy.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Effie braced herself as she walked into the kitchen in her work clothes. She was carrying her laptop in the green case with a sloth on the front that Grady had bought for her.
Thankfully, Brooks had already left for school. She’d timed that on purpose. He didn’t need to be here for the growling.
“I’m going to work today.”
“No, you’re not,” Steele told her. “Go get changed into comfy clothes. You’re on the couch today. Grady is staying home with you.”
She put the laptop down as Grady turned from the stove to look at her. Then he looked at Steele and turned back to the food. Right. No help with her ogre from him.
“I’m going into work. I’ve had enough time off and I don’t need any more.”
Steele leaned his hands on the counter, staring at her sternly. “You’re. Staying. Here.”
“No. I’m going to work. Grady is needed at work. So am I. There’s no reason to stay home.”
“You’re staying home.”
“I’m not.”
“Do you want a spanking?”
“You can’t spank me for disagreeing with you!” She threw her hands into the air.
“Can’t I?”
“Grady, you want to weigh in?” she asked.
“All right. Effie, you’re staying home.”
Damn it.
Steele grinned and crossed his arms over his chest. “That backfired, huh?”
Time to find a new tactic.
“I need to go to work. I need things to go back to normal. Things haven’t been normal for a while and I need that.”
Both men looked at her.
“I could just fucking fire you,” Steele muttered.
She could get mad at that, but she knew he was just grumbling. He was an ogre, after all. Moving around the counter, she slid up next to him. He turned to face her and she put her hands on his chest. “Please?”
“Aww, fuck it.” He glared down at her. “That damn pout.”
