Page 40 of Daddy's Pursuit
Once the giant lollipop was wrapped up, she placed it carefully in the glove compartment, as if handling a delicate treasure. Candy was a luxury she’d never been able to afford. It was as good as gold in her opinion.
Pulling into a parking slot, Jack looked over at her and said, “There’s a lot of dangerous stuff where we’re going. So I want you to be a good girl and stay by me. Don’t wander off. Do you understand?”
“Where are we going?” she asked excitedly.
“I asked if you understood the rules,” he asked sharply.
She was a bit more demure in her response. “Yes, Sir.”
“Good. Now, come on. Your question will be answered soon.”
Iris glowed at the sensation of Jack holding her hand while they walked. They went inside one of the many buildings, up an elevator, and came out on the roof.
Helicopters surrounded them.
“Whoa! This is awesome!”
Jack chuckled. “Welcome to the Hooper Heliport of the LAPD. This is where we keep our birds.”
“And I can look at them? Can I even look inside one?”
“You can do better than that, honey. We’re going to go for a ride.”
“Whoa! Seriously? Thank you, Daddy!”
She jumped up and down before wrapping her arms around his neck while she fell against him.
He laughed, twirling her several times, and kissing the top of her head.
Iris responded by kissing him, too. She peppered his cheeks and neck with dozens of little pecks.
“Mmm. I like that, sweet girl. But unfortunately Ace is waiting on us.”
“Who is Ace?”
“That’s me,” a dark-haired man said, stepping out from around a chopper. “I was trying to give you two some privacy. Looks like you were about to use one of these cockpits for romance. But I’ll warn you, it wouldn’t be very comfortable. The seats don’t recline.”
The couple laughed.
“We’ll save that for when we get home,” Jack stated.
Iris blushed as her imagination kicked into overdrive. What would tonight hold? She had a pretty good idea.
Wetness seeped into her diaper. Right now wasn’t the time to think about all that, she told herself. Daddy had worked hard to set this adventure up. She didn’t want to miss a minute of it!
“Iris, meet Ace Riggs.” Jack rubbed her back. “Now, what you need to know, is now that I’m your Daddy, it means you have lots of Uncles.”
“Yep,” Ace said. “And I’m going to be your favorite. Trust me. I’m the fun one.” He winked.
Iris giggled. “It’s nice meeting you, Uncle Ace.”
“Nice meeting you, too, darling.” He shook his head as he appraised her with a smile. “Aren’t you a doll? I know I’m going to have a blast spoiling you. That’s for sure. And when I find my Little, you two can get together and play.”
“I can’t wait!” she exclaimed.
“Neither can I,” Ace said with a chuckle.
Surely he’d find his Little soon, Iris thought. He was such a handsome man. He wasn’t as broad or as strong as Daddy, but it was evident his lean frame was corded with knotty muscle.
