He laughed at that. “I can arrange that if you want, baby girl.”
Umm, say what now?
“No need to look so alarmed. Some people like being gagged.”
“Why would anyone like being gagged?” she asked tiredly. That rush of adrenaline she’d gotten when he appeared by her bed was fading leaving her weak and woozy.
“Sometimes people enjoy being gagged, bound, spanked and fucked.”
“Like BDSM?” she asked before she thought better of it.
“Sure.”
“Are you a Dom?”
“Yep,” he replied honestly. “Actually, I’m a Daddy Dom.”
“A Daddy Dom? Really?”
“Do you know what a Daddy Dom is?” he asked.
“Yeah. I like to read Daddy Dom stories.”
“Is that so,” he murmured. “Good to know, baby girl.”
Wait. He was a Daddy Dom and he was calling her baby girl. “I’m not a Little.”
“Sure you aren’t, baby. And I don’t have an asshole for a father.”
“Your father is most definitely an asshole. Oh shit, I said that out loud, didn’t I? Maybe that
gag is a good idea.” It was so hard to keep her eyes open.
“Gigi? Why didn’t you tell me who you were yesterday at the hospice or this morning when I was accusing you of stealing from my grandmother?”
“It didn’t seem appropriate yesterday when you just got there. And this morning, you were yelling at me. You were mad. You scared me.”
He cursed. “I’m so sorry, baby.”
“S’okay.” The young note to her voice belied her statement that she wasn’t a Little. But she was too tired to care.
“No, it’s not. And you shouldn’t forgive so easily. You should insist I make it up to you. Gigi? Tell me what happened to you after you left. How did you get those scrapes and your swollen ankle?”
“I fell over, running away from you.”
“I wasn’t chasing you.” He frowned.
“I was scared. You were mad. Like Dad used to get.”
“Fuck. Me.”
Her eyes closed. She was so tired. She just needed sleep. She didn’t need the hospital.
“Sweet pea? Gigi, stay with me. Stay awake. We’re almost there, sweetheart. Come on, wake up and show me those beautiful blue eyes of yours.”
“Just wanna sleep.”
“I know, little one. Soon you can sleep all you want. In fact, I’m going to insist on it. I don’t think you’ve been taking proper care of yourself, but that’s all going to change. I’m here now.”
