“Shh, you,” I giggle. “Rosie's gonna hear you! And don't think too much into it.” I huff.
“You like me,” he taunts.
“Do not,” I growl.
“Do toooooo,” he sings back at me. And I can't help but smile. What can I say, the crazy fucker is growing on me.
“All done,” the nail tech says. Rosie holds up her toes and wiggles them.
“They’re so pretty!” she breathes, looking up at me and beaming with happiness. “Just like yours.”
“Just like mine, Kiddo,” I smile back.
We gather our things and stop to pay at the front counter. “Your total is $115,” the lady says, looking at me. But Rosie steps in front of me and digs into her small Hello Kitty purse before handing over a bunch of bills to the lady. The lady looks at me with a small smile and a raised brow. When I nod, the lady takes Rosie’s money and starts to count it out. Rosie watches her, waiting to see if she has enough.
While Rosie is distracted, I take two hundred-dollar bills from my pocket and discreetly slip it into Neo’s palm.
“She’s gonna notice that all her money, plus some, magically appears back in her purse,” Neo whispers with a chuckle.
“Next time she helps you clean the pen, give some to her as a reward for all her hard work,” I shrug.
“You’re amazing, you know that?” Neo says, stepping up against my back, his lips grazing my neck. “She's lucky to have you in her life. No matter what the others might think, you’re the best woman for the job.”
A shiver takes over my body as it awakens under his touch. Neo and I have been fucking around for a while now, and it's gotten to the point where anytime I touch myself at night, his name is the one I'm calling out. I want him, and it’s more than just for all the mind-blowing, amazing orgasms after a kill. I want him to be the one who gets me off for any reason, any time of the day. I really need that cock mold I told him to make. I don't trust him, and being with him in any other way would require that, but I will have to bring him to my dungeon. That will be the ultimate test. If he can survive that, then maybe I’ll upgrade that dildo of his cock to the real thing. I mean, friends with benefits is a thing, and that's what we are now... right? Oh, fuck if I know.
When the lady gives Rosie a nod to say that she has enough, Rosie looks back at us with pride in her eyes. “I can't believe I got to pay like a big person!” she says, excitedly. Then she frowns. “But now I don’t have any money left.”
“Don't worry. Uncle Neo was just saying that because you help him with big people work for the animals, you should get paid like a big person does.”
“Really?” She looks at Neo with wide, blue eyes.
“Yup!” Neo says, then picks Rosie up. She giggles as he maneuvers her onto his shoulders.
“Alright, Kiddo, we gotta go. Your daddy has been calling me like crazy, and I don't think he likes that I’ve been ignoring him,” I laugh, and she giggles again as we walk out of the shop and head back towards the club where the other guys are working.
“He’s gonna be mad at you,” she snickers.
“I think I can take him,” I say, flexing my arms. Rosie looks at my muscles and then looks back up at my face. I’m not crazy ripped or anything, but I do work out. And helping the girls with hours of practice helps a lot too.
“Yup, I think you could take him,” she nods in approval.
“Trust me, Posy, Queenie could take on Daddy, Uncle Axel, Uncle Dean, and me all at once and not even break a sweat,” Neo grins.
“Wow,” she whispers in wonder. “I wanna be just like you when I grow up.”
Neo bursts out laughing. “Oh, I bet your dad wouldlovethat,” Neo cackles.
I pinch him on the arm, and he laughs even harder. I look up at Rosie. “How about we aim to make you a strong, independent, loving, caring woman; how about that?”
“I guess that works too. I hope I'm a good mama like you, though,” she says.
“But I'm not a mama, silly girl.” I smile, tilting my head to the side.
“Well, you can be my mama. Daddy says my mama is gone, and she's in a place that won’t let her leave. And that means I get to stay with Daddy forever!” She bounces up and down, and Neo has to get a better grip so that she doesn't fall off his shoulder. “I’m so happy my wish came true.”
“Your wish?” I ask, needing to know.
“Yeah. I wished to God every night before bed that when I go to Daddy’s, I’d never have to leave again.”
