We have a million issues.A billion.We’re bothveryfucked up.But at the end of the day, he’s what I need, and our relationship would be ruined if he gave in and changed his mind.
Twenty-Seven
Rook
Dante says nothing on the drive home.Thank heavens.
I climb into the back and hold Briana in my arms.When we reach the house, I carry her upstairs to my room, pull the key out of my pocket, and unlock the door.
“You lock your room?”she asks.
“Yes, princess.I don’t like the idea of anyone being able to come in when I’m not around.I will also be able to lockyouin whenever necessary.”
She flinches in my arms.
I’m grateful Silver was not around when we returned.I’m sure he’s furious and pacing somewhere in the house.But he will have to deal with me later.Tonight, I need to focus on my girl.
I set her on her feet and relock the door.
She looks around.“Why do you have so many computers?”
It’s funny that’s her first question.She’s overlooking some key components of my room if her first comment is about my desk arrangement.
Taking her hand, I lead her toward the bank of monitors.“It’s only a few computers, princess.Most are monitors.”I power up the most important one.
Her breath hitches as soon as it comes on, and she steps closer.“That’s my bedroom.”
“It is.”
Her eyes are wide when she turns toward me.“You’ve been spying on me?”
“Yes.”
Her mouth hangs open.I can practically see her brain racing through all the possible things I’ve seen.
“I have audio in there, too.Do you know how hard it was not to punish you every time you cussed?”
She jerks her hand free of mine and folds her arms.“That’s so invasive.”She’s so irrationally calm.It’s as a result of weeks of me training her.She might be stunned, but she’s not surprised.Not really.
“Very invasive.Yes.”
“Rook…” She’s trying out my name.
I grab her chin and tip her head back.“You will address me as Daddy or Sir.You’re not my equal, princess.You willneverbe my equal.You’re my submissive.Nothing changes because you can see my face and know my name.I’ll let you cry out my name when my cock is buried deep inside you, but that’s the only time.”
Her eyes are so wide.She’s trembling.It’s fucking delightful.
I need to be firm with her.I’ve always been demanding and bossy.That will not change, and she needs to know it.
“What…” She swallows.“What are we to each other?”
I move my hand from her chin to her ponytail and pull it, arching her neck.“You’re mine.”
She licks her lips.“I know that, Daddy, but what does it mean?”
“It means you don’t even breathe without my permission.It means you eat when I tell you, sleep when I tell you, follow my rules, and obey me in all ways.It’s what we’ve always been.It’s what we both crave.We’re a matched pair, princess.You need my dominance, and I need your submission.You need my guidance, and I need your obedience.”
I love the way she’s panting.Fuck, I’m hard.And I’m not going to fuck her tonight.She’s in hot water for disregarding my orders earlier.I won’t let that slide.Even though she was under a lot of stress and the situation in the dining room was heated, she needs to know that she obeys me atalltimes, no matter what.
