The look on his face lightened. Leaning in, he kissed her gently. “I need you too, baby girl.” He settled back in his seat; her hand held tight in his. “What do you want to bet that he’s upgraded our hotel room as well?”
“Oh Daddy, I’m pretty sure we’ll have to suffer through staying in the penthouse.”
“Yeah, that’s what I figured too.”
Stepping out of the bathroom, she found a garment bag lying on the hotel room. The very flash hotel room. Just as they’d both suspected, the Fox had upgraded their hotel room to the penthouse.
Sneaky Foxie.
“Duke?”
There was no answer. Chewing at her lip, she moved toward the bag and grabbed the zip. If he didn’t want her to look, then surely he wouldn’t put it on the bed, right?
Just a small peek. It wouldn’t hurt.
As she undid the zip, all thoughts of taking a small peek disappeared. She gasped in delighted shock, and pulled out the dress.
“It’s an Alice dress!” she squealed. The blue dress puffed out at the bottom and had a white apron over it. It was simply gorgeous. It even had little capped sleeves.
“Millie made it for you.”
With a gasp, she turned to look at Duke. He carried a cake box in his hand.
“She did?” Her eyes watered. “It’s amazing. I can’t believe she did this and that you managed to get it here without me seeing.”
“Hey, it wasn’t meant to make you cry, little rebel.” Setting the box on the bed, he reached over and drew her against him. The towel she had wrapped around her slipped and fell to the floor. He ran his hand up and down her back.
A shiver of arousal rushed through her. Hmm, she wondered if they had time . . .
Smack!
“Owie!” She glared up at him as she rubbed her bottom cheek. That stung. “What was that for?”
“Just getting your attention.” He tapped her nose. “I know what you were thinking, and much as I appreciate where your mind was going we have to get moving. We have plans.”
Ooh. Yes, they did.
“Although I probably should spank your butt for peeking at the garment bag without me.”
Her mouth dropped open. He wouldn’t!
Using his finger on her chin, he closed her mouth. “Then again, I did know when I put it on the bed that you’d likely have a look.”
“Daddy, don’t scare me like that.”
Duke grinned, looking so carefree and gorgeous that she felt her breath catch. She loved this man so much.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be something else I need to spank you for.”
“No way, Daddy! I’m a good girl.”
“You are. You’re Daddy’s good girl. And his little rebel. And he wouldn’t have you any other way.”
Sunny gave him a huge smile. “You say the sweetest things.”
He just shook his head before moving to a set of drawers. He’d insisted on unpacking when they’d arrived yesterday while she rested. He drew out a bag, placing it on the bed. She eyed the cake box but she didn’t think she’d get away with sneaking a look at that.
Opening the bag, he drew out some white thigh-high stockings, a pair of black, shiny shoes and some white, ruffly panties.
“Daddy! I can’t wear these.”
“Why not?”
“Because . . . they’re what little girls wear.”
“And isn’t that what you are?” he asked in a silky-smooth voice.
“Yes, but . . .”
“But what?”
“Should I wear this? Won’t people think I’m strange?” She felt bad saying it when he’d gone to all this effort, but the last thing she wanted was to embarrass him.
Cupping her chin, he tilted her face back. “I don’t care what anyone thinks. And if anyone even looks at you strange, I’ll end them.”
“Daddy!” She gave him a flustered look. “See? You really do say the sweetest things.”
Once he’d gotten her dressed and done her hair, he picked up the cake box. “Ready?”
Anticipation made her heart race. “For what, Daddy?”
“For your Alice in Wonderland experience to begin, of course.” Opening the box, he showed her the cake inside. Written along the top in black icing were the words, Eat Me.
Sunny clapped her hands in excitement. This was going to be so much fun.
Duke held out the chair for his girl. She sat, then turned to give him a huge grin after he’d pushed her in.
“I can’t believe we’re having a tea party with the Mad Hatter.” She bounced with excitement.
Joy filled him. He loved how happy she was. They’d spent all morning at the Alice In Wonderland exhibition. Now they were at the Mad Hatter’s tea party.
“You’re not too tired?” he asked as she looked around everything in excitement. He’d been worried about her lately. He didn’t like seeing her worn down and worried. And then there had been the long flight here. Although traveling First Class was no hardship. Sunny had even managed a small nap on the flight.
