Page 32 of Trained By Her Daddy

“Mmm hmm. And do you understand why I want our story to remain private?”

“You’ll get no more arguments from me on the subject. You’re the Daddy. You’re in charge.”

“Ahh. I feel we’ve made some good progress this morning. And now this case is closed, little miss. Understood?”

There was a tinge of chastisement in his undertone, and he knew just how to make my toes curl. It didn’t matter why Jake brought us together—this was the man I wanted to be with. The man I’d always needed in my life. “Yes, sir.”

“Good to hear. So, now it’s time for you to pen a new novel, and I need to go back to work. There’s an important meeting in Orlando, tomorrow, but I’ll only be gone one night. Do you think it’s possible to behave yourself while I’m gone?”

Why does my breath catch when he accentuates that word in a sentence? There’s no doubt he knows what it does to me. “Yes, I promise to adhere to all the rules. Would you like me to drive you to the airport?”

He angled his head toward mine. “I thought I’d take an Uber and leave you with my car.”

“Would it be okay if I explored the city on my own?”

“You don’t need to ask permission to go out when I’m away, sweet girl. Just make sure you stay within the shopping budget and obey all traffic rules.”

“Got it.”

“Wonderful. And just so you aren’t tempted to make any calls while you’re driving, I suggest you keep the phone in your purse.”

“I will, Daddy.”

“Good girl.”
