“You’re a tease, Daddy,” I groaned as I placed my other foot back on the floor. He stood up in front of me and lifted my chin, forcing me to look right up at the stern expression that painted his face.
“Your pleasure is mine to give, mine to take, but also mine to deny, little girl,” he said firmly, and my pussy clenched ever harder as a delicious shiver raced down my spine.
“Yes, Daddy,” I murmured, and he drew me into a long kiss that left me feeling breathless and shaky and so well loved that I was saddened when it eventually ended.
“Come now. Let’s get you back to the hotel so you can fool Janet into thinking you had the best night of your life with Salvador rather than your daddy,” he grinned, and I grazed my teeth along my swollen lower lip.
“Okay,” I replied, and he offered his hand. I took it and the two of us walked out the front door together.
The car was still waiting for us and when I climbed inside, I angled my hips in such a way that I gave him just the slightest glimpse of my nakedness beneath my dress.
He chuckled knowingly.
“Naughty girl. The next time you and I are alone together, you’re going to be showing me a whole lot more than just a glimpse of that bare little pussy.”

The trip back to the hotel went by far too quickly. His arms around me were comforting and I didn’t want it to end, but when it inevitably did, I pulled myself together and drew away from him, intending to get out of the car.
“Little girl?”
“Yes, Daddy?”
“Daddy will always protect his little girl. You will be safe from the moment you walk through that door until you walk back out. Understand?”
“I do, Daddy,” I whispered, biting my lip as warmth buzzed just beneath my skin. He grasped my wrist and slipped something cold over it.
“What is this?” I asked hesitantly.
“It’s a bracelet I had made for you, sweet girl. It’s a silver bangle and on the inside, you’ll see the words ‘Daddy’s Girl’ engraved. In the middle of the bangle is a rare gemstone. If you press down firmly on that jewel, it will send a message straight to my phone,” he explained. “You and I are going to work together to take down the people that threatened you.”
“How?”
“The Fixer will be dealt with tonight, but we need to use her to get to the Father. I know you. You’re intelligent and strong and you think very well on your feet. Use those skills to figure out a way we can get through to the Father so we can handle him too.”
“If I press the stone…”
“I will come for you. No matter what.”
My mind raced.
“Are you going to kill her?”
He shook his head.
“No. I’m going to make some calls and put everyone that’s ever owed me anything to work tonight. I’m going to build a case against her that so ironclad that she will be behind bars for the rest of her life,” he answered.
I don’t know why I cared if she lived or died, but the fact that he did meant something to me. He was a strong man, a good man, and I was so lucky to call him mine.
“Give me a few hours. Find a way to get to the Father,” he added.
“How will I know when you’re ready?”
“You won’t, but you don’t need to worry about that,” he answered.
I sighed shakily.
“You can do this. I know my little girl is going to make me proud,” he added firmly and I lifted my eyes to meet his.
I smiled in return.
“It takes a very strong woman to be Daddy’s little girl. Remember that. You can take on the world and I will always be there at your side,” he said, and I found his fingers with mine. I squeezed them tight.
My heart was so full.
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Let’s conquer the world, little girl.”
“I’m looking forward to it, Daddy,” I grinned, and he knocked on the glass window, signaling to the driver to open the door. I slipped out and approached the hotel with as much self-assurance as I could. I heard the car pull away behind me, but it didn’t sadden me. I had Daddy’s bracelet around my wrist and my pussy was still bare for him beneath my dress. My bottom still stung a great deal from both his palm and the wooden spoon and if I really focused on it, my asshole was still a bit warm from the ginger.
I felt his hands all over me even though they weren’t touching me anymore and that was the most empowering thing in the world.
Without even a second’s hesitation, I took the elevator up to the top floor. I slipped the keycard out of the small purse I’d taken with me and walked inside. I plastered a grin on my face and stumbled a bit, taking on the persona of an excited girl who had a bit too much wine on her night out.
“Well, you look like you had fun.”
I giggled and looked away, playing up my giddiness in the way that I knew best.
“I like my job. What can I say?” I grinned.
“Your cheeks are flushed,” she observed, and I smirked.
“They should be,” I shrugged.
“That good, huh?”
“I’m certainly going to enjoy myself with this one. Not only is he the epitome of a wine and dine guy, but he’s also really fucking good in the sack,” I mused, and she laughed heartily.
Good. It was working.
“Sometimes, my marks are terrible and it’s a hell of a lot of work to fake it with them. I’m happy to say Salvador is not one of those men.”
“You were with him for a long time,” she mused.
“I’m a needy girl. What can I say?”
“He likes that?”
“God. He fucking ate that shit up like ice cream
