The Daddy P.I. Casefiles: The First Collection Frost, J (good beach reads .TXT) 📖

“If Master Niall was impressed . . .” I wiggle my eyebrows and Vashi laughs.

“I am hopeful he will collar her when we are together in January.”

“I would love that.” I clap my hands together softly, not wanting to summon Martyn back from wherever he’s whisked. Benjie couldn’t get time off to come to my collaring, but he’s promised to come to Vegas in January for our wedding. If he would bring Lilah and collar her, I’d be over the moon. Maybe if I casually mention it to Daddy—

“What are you two plotting?” Daddy asks, walking into the breakfast room.

I jump nearly out the window. His Batman hearing is out of control.

“World domination,” Niall says, striding over to stand behind Vashi’s chair and rest his hands on her shoulders. “Behavin’ yerself, mo cheann beag?”

Vashi smiles up at her Dom. “Of course.”

“Uh-huh.” He smooths a massive palm down the black silk fall of her hair. “Ready to see the noisy, watery thing?”

“Yes, pukka sahib.”

Niall’s question gets us moving, even though I’d almost give up another view of the Falls to spend another hour gossiping with Vashi. We video-call every few days, but it’s not the same as sitting here with her over tea, enjoying the view together. I gather Professor Teddington under one arm and with the other I reach out to Vashi. She takes my hand and squeezes. We walk out of the breakfast room together.

* * *

Despite the orgasm denial, I really am the luckiest little girl in the world. Daddy gets special permission from Martyn to take Professor Teddington sight-seeing with us. Martyn even produces a tiny, yellow rain slicker for him in case we get close to the Falls. With Professor Teddington in one hand and Vashi holding the other, I don’t have a hand free for Daddy, so whenever we stop to see a view as we take the Cave of the Winds tour, I cuddle up to him and make sure he knows he’s the best daddy ever. He snuggles me back and when we get to the wet parts, makes sure both Professor Teddington and I stay dry.

I worry a little about Vashi who is wearing another of her beautiful saris, today in red and gold, with bangles winding up her arms and gold through her ears and nose. Although she’s wearing hiking sandals like I am, I don’t want her lovely clothes to be ruined by the dust and spray. She looks wholly unconcerned, though, and keeps pace with Niall and Daddy even with their much longer legs. When we get to Bridal Veil Falls, Niall tenderly wraps her in three light ponchos, and when he takes them off, she doesn’t have a drop on her.

She squeezes my hand when we start walking again. “There is always much masala chai with Niall.”

Having seen his ferocity with Shaan, who decided to stay back at the inn today, firsthand, Niall’s tenderness with Vashi always comes as a surprise. Daddy has moments of ferocity, too, but they’re rarely aimed at me. When they are, and he’s a wolfy-daddy, I don’t mind at all.

When we get back to the inn after a quick stop at the restaurant for tonight to make sure they’re still okay with the increased reservation, we have to climb over the bags filling the foyer.

“Javier’s arrived,” Daddy says, chuckling, as he helps me over the pile of designer luggage and straight into a hug from Mistress Maude. “How many days are you lot staying?”

“We thought we’d make a long weekend of it,” she says, releasing me to kiss Daddy on both cheeks. We did just see her last weekend at the club, but it’s always nice to feel missed. Master Javier swoops me up next, giving me a hug that fills my lungs with the scent of fresh linen and tobacco, before he hands me off into Austin’s bear hug.

“There they are!” I hear from the lounge before I’m rushed by my purple-haired friend Aggie. Aggie’s wearing purple coveralls and sparkly purple Keds that match her hair. She looks so cute that I want to go and change into something little, even though the shirt and capris I’m wearing were cool and comfortable for our walk.

I get another big hug, this time from Aggie’s daddy, Warrin, before my daddy reels me in and tucks me against his side while he talks to Javier and Niall. Warrin gets drawn into the conversation, too, and I gather they’re setting the ground rules for the arm-wrestling contest after dinner. Men are so silly. I catch Vashi’s eyes and roll mine. She giggles.

Daddy pinches my ear.

“Ow!”

He tips his head to growl, “I saw that, cheeky monkey. Just because you’re around your subbie friends, don’t think you can get away with being disrespectful.”

“No, Daddy, super-respectful, me.”

“Uh-huh. Just remember you have your usual date with my paddle in the morning. It can be a wolfy date, or it can be a fire salamander date. Depends on the level of cheek today.”

I shiver and wiggle a little closer to him. “Wolfy date.”

Fire salamander dates with Daddy’s evil paddle leave me sore all day. Wolfy dates only leave me sore for most of the day, and I get orgasms. Although realizing that, whether or not I behave, I won’t be getting orgasms during my Saturday paddling makes me frown.

Warrin reaches over and pinches my cheek. What’s with all the daddy pinches? “No frowns on your big weekend, Em.”

“Sorry, sir.” I smile as I snuggle back into Daddy’s side.

“Maybe Emmy has things to frown about,” Aggie says to her daddy. She waves her hands over her groin. “Maybe this is a no O zone, like you did to me before I was collared.”

Vashi and I break into giggles that ring over the deeper tones of the Doms’ laughter.

“No O zone?” Warrin asks his little while he’s still chuckling.

She nods. “The five looongest days of my life, baba.”

Warrin chucks her under her chin. “We’ll double it for our fifth anniversary
