She let her lips part, confused when he slid the nipple inside. When she suckled, nothing came out.
“It’s a pacifier, Baby girl. It will help soothe you so you can fall asleep.” He lowered her into the crib, draped the blanket around her, and then tucked Ava the eagle in her arms. Rubbing her tummy with his palm, he leaned over and kissed her forehead. “Rest, Little one. There’s a monitor in the corner of your crib. Daddy will know when you wake up.”
She felt his absence the moment he stopped touching her. It annoyed her greatly that she couldn’t make out his features or see what he was doing. She only knew he had lifted the railing on the side of the crib when it clicked into place.
“You’re safe in your crib, Little rebel. There’s no way you can fall out. Let your body relax. Do not ever stand in the crib or try to crawl out. If you wake up, Daddy will come get you. And one more rule.” He lifted her fingers to his lips and kissed them. “Your pleasure belongs to Daddy. You will not touch yourself without Daddy’s permission. That means you need to keep your fingers away from your nipples and your pussy at all times. We haven’t gone over the rules yet, but I can tell you that naughty Little girls who disobey Daddy get their bottoms spanked. Naughty Little girls who play with their greedy little buds get their nipples spanked.”
She gasped around the pacifier.
“No warnings, Olivia. You heard me.” His voice was firm. He released her hand and shuffled from the room.
She turned her face in his direction and could make out the shadow that fell into the room as he exited. She didn’t think this nursery had any windows. Either that or they had blinds that were closed because it was pretty dark in here now that he’d turned off a light.
For several restless minutes, she squirmed as she suckled on the pacifier. She wasn’t sure it was doing anything to calm her racing heart, but she kept sucking anyway. Thoughts rushed through her mind in rapid fire. Memories of him sucking her pussy, feeding her, patting her diapered bottom.
Would he really spank her nipples? The idea made her shudder. She didn’t want to find out. She would not touch them. It shouldn’t have been a hardship since she hadn’t ever played with them before today, but somehow, now that she’d found out how good it felt for him to stroke the sensitive buds, she craved more of that.
It took a while for her mind to settle, but eventually she relaxed and drifted off.
Chapter Six
Damon took the monitor and stepped outside onto the porch. He set it on the wooden table and took a seat before calling his brother.
Arion picked up on the first ring. “You already get tired of your mate?” he teased.
Damon grunted. “Hardly. She’s napping.”
“I figured. How is she adjusting?”
“It’s a challenge. She thinks I’m babying her because of her visual challenges. It’s hard to get her to understand that all Alpha Protectors treat their mates to the same exact dominance.”
“Well, we don’t all have bumpers on the furniture,” he joked. “Have you consummated the claiming?”
“Not yet. She’s so innocent about our ways. She needs time.”
“But you’re worried about the abilities of her wolf,” Arion stated. He was well aware of Damon’s concerns.
“Yes. Taking care of her human will never be a hardship, but what if her wolf is also visually impaired?” He’d thought about this a million times over the years. They all had. The logistics were complicated. The thought of never being able to take his Little mate out for a run in the woods stressed him, more for her than for himself.
He longed to show her the wonders of the mountains. He longed to run free with her by his side, the wind hitting them in the face as they explored together. It was one of the joys of having a mate.
“You’ll adjust,” Arion stated. “You’ll figure it out because you have no other options. She’s your mate. I know in your heart she is perfect. I’m certain you feel the bond growing by the hour. You will never for a moment find her to be a burden. Her visual impairment only strengthens your desire to take care of her in every way.”
Arion was right. He knew exactly how Damon felt because he’d been in his shoes not so very long ago. Just over a year.
Damon ran a hand through his thick hair as he watched his precious mate sleeping on the monitor.
“If her wolf is unable to see,” his brother continued, “I’m certain her other senses will be heightened to measures we can’t imagine. I bet she will be able to use scent and feel to get around in the woods.”
