Page 20 of Daddies' Little Cubs

“So, let me get this straight. Jessa signed you up for this college just so that you both could get to know your sister better.”

“Yep.”

“As much as I don’t agree with the route that she took, I am glad that she did because now you are here and I got to meet you.”

Destiny felt a blush rush across her cheeks. She quickly glanced away so that he wouldn’t see it.

“No no no. Don’t turn away from me now, Little girl. Let me see your beautiful face.”

She felt his finger touch her face as he turned her back towards him.

“There’s that pretty face. I meant what I said. I'm glad that I got to meet you and that you are here.”

She nodded her head “I’m glad that I’m here too.”

“I want to get to know you, Destiny. I enjoy your company and would love to get to know more about you, Little one.”

“There really isn’t much worth learning. I’m a homebody who keeps to herself. You should spend time doing something else.”

She heard Jackson grumble at her words, responding, “Don’t talk about yourself like that, Destiny. Let me decide how I spend my time because I know that I wouldn’t be wasting it getting to know you.”

Destiny nodded as he continued to speak.

“Be a good Little girl now and finish your book. I’ll come check on you again here in a little bit.”

“Yes, Sir!”

“I love hearing sir fall from your lips, but one day I hope that you will call me something different.” Jackson stated before turning and leaving her to her thoughts.

Destiny didn’t have a clue what he meant by his statement, but she didn’t have time to think about it. The characters in the book she was reading are calling out to her to continue their story.

Picking up her book, she continued to dive in and get lost in her own little world.

Destiny turnedoff her Kindle and placed it on the table in front of her. Jackson hadn’t returned yet before she finished the book.

Glancing at the time on her phone, she noticed that it was almost time for Jess to get out of class. Wanting to get there before she was released, Des quickly stuffed her things back into her bag before gathering her trash and heading towards the exit.

“Desi wait a second. Let me walk you out.” Jackson stated as he walked to where she was standing besides the trash can.

“Oh, there’s no need for that.”

“I know that I don’t need to, but I want to. I didn’t get a chance to make it back over to you, so humor an old man would you?”

Destiny scoffed at his statement. He wasn’t that old. He looked barely over thirty.

She let him turn and direct her towards the front doors and shivered when he placed his hand on her lower back. She didn’t want to admit how right it felt to have his hand there on her.

“So, did you finish your book, Little one?”

“I did!”

“And? Are you going to tell me the name so I can read it?”

Shaking her at him, she grinned. She wasn’t telling him the title just yet. She needed time to come up with a different answer.

“Okay Desi. I’ll let you keep your secret just a little bit longer, but next time you’re here I want a title.”

“Sure Jackson, I’ll tell you then.”
