“Thanks, Lindy. My Daddy is a pretty good listener, but I might take you up on that,” Gabby said, beginning to relax. These women were delightful and seemed honestly glad to meet her.
“I’m Samantha. I own a candy shop downtown if you ever need the escape a superb caramel provides. As you can see, I obviously eat too many.”
Gabby smiled at the plump woman, who seemed older than the others. “I like caramels. They’re my favorite.”
“Have you noticed all our Daddies are the hottest?” Kenzie asked, laughing.
“If you’re going to gossip about Daddies, I better join the men,” Kole suggested. He looked directly at Gabby to make sure she was okay with him leaving her with the Littles.
“I’m good, Daddy. Shoo, so I can talk about you,” Gabby said and smiled as the Littles all laughed happily. She could tell immediately that she didn’t need to worry about this group being catty or treating her differently because she was an actress.
Soon, Gabby was debating whether a marshmallow should be blackened or carefully toasted to a golden brown with Hannah. A large mastiff stood next to them, very willing to devour any marshmallow they decided wasn’t perfect. Gabby knew that PupPup would have loved the sweet dog named Lollipop.
That thought made her sad. Gabby stared into the fire, trying to recover her composure.
An older man stopped to check on her. “Are you okay, Gabby? Want me to call your Daddy over?”
“No. I’m okay. I was just sad for a moment. Someone stole my stuffie. He’s a puppy. The dogs reminded me of him.”
The silver fox looked concerned and said, “I’m so sorry, Little girl. Stuffies are family. You must miss him a lot.”
Hannah immediately wrapped her arms around Gabby to hug her.
“Someone took your stuffie? That’s horrible,” Hannah said, looking horrified. “Do you have another one?”
“I don’t. Well, Daddy made me one, but it’s not the same as PupPup,” Gabby admitted sadly.
“Is Kole looking for your stuffie?” Shelby asked.
“Yes. I don’t think he’ll find him. There’s something happening. Someone is taking my stuff and there was this really angry guy who approached me. A guy walking past scared him off, but he frightened me. He looked so angry.” Gabby shivered, remembering the hate shining from his gaze.
“That is scary. Want to borrow Lollipop? She’s a good guard dog,” Hannah offered.
Gabby smiled as the massive animal immediately returned to Hannah’s side when he heard his name. “I think Kole’s my guard dog,” she suggested with a laugh, trying to lighten the mood.
“Woof!” Lollipop seemed to agree with that suggestion, making everyone giggle.
“You’ll be safe here. Our Daddies don’t allow anyone to mess with us,” Samantha said with confidence. The handsome older Daddy kissed her on the top of her head before heading toward the men.
Gabby followed his progress and saw him talk to Kole before gathering the men around. In a few minutes, one of the handsome men walked into the house. That must be Deke, Hannah’s Daddy.
“Little girls. No more s’mores. Come roast a hotdog before the sugar makes your noses fall off,” Jeremy directed when Deke rejoined them with a large tray piled high.
“Sugar doesn’t do that,” Samantha protested.
“It does if you’re so sweet I take a bite of you,” her Daddy warned.
“Maybe I like that,” Samantha teased.
“I like spanking your bottom, too. Want to come get a hotdog or should we just skip ahead?” he asked.
“I’ll take a hotdog,” Gabby said quickly.
“Don’t want another spanking, huh?” Shelby teased.
“No way.” Then, realizing what she’d just admitted, Gabby felt her cheeks heat. Hopefully, they couldn’t tell in the fire’s glow.
“Sorry, Gabby. I shouldn’t have embarrassed you. We’ve all seen each other spanked when we’re bad. You look more relaxed than you did when I met you earlier,” Shelby apologized. “Spankings always make everything but my bottom feel better. I had guessed you’d been spanked.”
“Is it bad that I liked it?” Gabby whispered to the Littles gathered around.
“No!” resounded from each of them.
“No hotdogs?” Kole looked confused from behind Gabby, drawing their attention.
Hannah started giggling and one by one, the Littles all joined in.
“Just as I thought. The sugar has rotted their minds. Come on, Shelby. Decide whether you want to roast or burn your weenier,” Jeremy said, handing her a roasting stick with three hotdogs already loaded on it.
“I can’t eat three!” Shelby answered.
“Two are for your Daddies.”
Jeremy passed each of the other women a roasting stick with two. “Roast and chat. Be nice to your Daddy, or Daddies,” he suggested before walking away.
“Weenier!” burst from Samantha’s mouth when he was five steps away, and the Littles roared with laughter as they carefully heated the hotdogs.
Kole ushered Gabby through their front door. “Shower and bed for you, Little girl.”
“That was so fun, Daddy. I wasn’t hungry, but everything tasted so good.”
“Fresh air always makes me hungry.”
