When the bottle is empty, I rise carefully so as not to disturb her, pad into the bedroom, and grab a pacifier from the same container where her diapers are.
The moment I pop it into her mouth, she resumes suckling, a soft sigh escaping her lips as she relaxes further in my arms. The poor thing is totally worn out.
I hate to put her down. I’d rather continue to hold her, but I need to do some things while she naps, so I ease her onto the bed, cover her with a soft blanket, and prop pillows around her. I don’t want her to fall off.
The first thing I do is change out of these uncomfortable dress pants and into the stretchy black pants that are common among my people. The next thing I do is send a text to John, listing the things I’d like him to get from Ava’s apartment. I suspect he’ll need to go for Mia, too.
Moments later, my phone rings. It’s Surgient. I answer immediately. “Hey.”
“How are you doing?” he asks softly.
I chuckle sardonically. “Everything they say is true. This Little girl is so feisty I didn’t think I’d ever get her to calm down, take a bottle, and sleep.” This is an understatement, but I don’t want to go into details.
“I’ve seen it in every male I’ve spoken to for two years, my friend.” Surgient would know. He’s been the intake doctor on the mothership for those two years. He’s examined every Little girl before she was put into stasis to leave for Eleadia.
“I promised Ava I would send someone to her apartment to get some things,” I tell him.
“I promised Mia the same. Have you lined someone up?”
“Yes. John from the front desk. He says he does this often. I texted him a list. I’ll share his contact information with you. He’ll get both of their things and deal with the manager of their building tomorrow, too.”
“Excellent. Thank you.”
“It’s going to be a very long trip home,” I say as I run a hand through my hair.
“Yes. Eternal.”
“I think Ava is at least slightly mollified by the knowledge that her best friend was also chosen tonight. What were the chances?”
“It’s rare. I’ve heard of friends both getting selected before, but not on the same night,” Surgient says.
I sigh. I’m almost as exhausted as Ava. “I guess I’ll see you in six months and a few weeks.”
“Yep. The girls will be chomping at the bit to get together.”
“Let’s hope. If Ava hasn’t stabbed me in my sleep.” I try to laugh, but it’s not filled with humor.
As I set the phone down, I turn back toward the bedroom.
Ava is right where I left her. She looks so peaceful in slumber. She’s completely relaxed for the first time since I met her. The formula helped. It has calming properties.
I don’t move. I can’t. I need to watch her. Her sweet little legs are spread wide to comfortably accommodate her diaper. Her arms are resting bent and near her head in a very open submissive position. I wonder if she normally sleeps so open and peacefully. Her hair is wild and gorgeous, forming a halo around her head. She’s rhythmically sucking the pacifier as if she does so every day, which I know for certain is not the case. I bet this feisty girl stopped using a soothing aid when she was about one.
The best part is that the blanket has slid down her body just enough that her nipples are exposed. She has the most perfect nipples I’ve ever seen. I’m going to enjoy worshiping them, and my cock stiffens at the thought of having them pierced.
There are so many more hurdles to overcome. I’m concerned my Little girl is not going to transition quickly. I know she will eventually, but it’s not going to happen overnight. She’s particularly angry about having what she thinks of as her freewill taken from her.
What she doesn’t understand yet is that neither of us really exercises freewill. She’s just mine, and I’m hers. She’s battling her instincts, but they aren’t natural instincts. They’re learned. When she realizes that and follows her heart, she’ll see that submitting to me is far more natural and comfortable than fighting with me in a battle of wills.
I have to give her time. She’ll come around eventually. Every Little girl does.
Chapter Nine
Ava
I’m jolted awake, though I’m not sure what woke me. All I know is that suddenly my eyes are wide, my heart is racing, and I’m so very confused.
I blink several times as I realize I’m in someone’s arms.
Ganrax… Papi… It wasn’t a dream. It’s true.
My first thought is shocking. Relief. I’m so glad it’s true. I was chosen by a man who treats me like spun gold. In my dream, he smiled at me the entire time.
