A flash of white caught her eye, and she glanced up to see a large white SUV pass. There has to be a thousand white SUVs. Connecting her phone to the Jeep’s navigation, she retraced her steps and figured out where she’d made a mistake. Okay. Look for the red barn next time and turn right.
Pippa was determined to adjust to her new life, and that included being able to drive around without getting lost. With everything seeming much more familiar, she relaxed. Making herself notice all the white SUVs, Pippa reminded herself that they had to be the most plentiful vehicle on the road. She had nothing to worry about.
Pulling into Zale’s driveway, Pippa triggered the garage door opener and parked the Jeep inside. Smiling at the duck bottoms facing her, Pippa decided she could understand why Jeep owners loved their vehicles. As far as she knew, no one else did anything as fun as the ducks.
After lowering the garage door, she grabbed her sling bag and her lunchbox. Sliding off the seat, Pippa headed inside. She dropped the water bottle she’d used as an ice source to keep her lunch cold back in the freezer. Pippa shoved the bottom freezer drawer back into place and whirled around to go get changed.
A large body lounged against the kitchen island. Even as her mind recognized Zale, her surprise screeched from her mouth. “Ahhhh!”
“Hi, kitten.”
His deep voice broke her paralysis. Pippa bolted forward to throw herself into his arms. “Daddy!”
Zale squeezed her tightly against him, lifting her feet from the floor. “I missed you, little girl.”
“I missed you so much, Daddy.”
“Let’s go sit down and you can tell me about your day. You started at the daycare today?” he asked.
“How did you know? I didn’t leave a note or anything.”
“I ran into Aspen at the base. After she got a few kisses from her daddy, she told me the two of you had celebrated last night.”
“I could use some kisses,” she said, batting her eyes at him.
“Me, too.” Zale cupped her face and kissed her softly before deepening the exchange. Heat flared between them. When he lifted his head, they were both breathing quicker.
“Maybe I tell you about my day later?” Pippa asked.
“Good plan.” He leaned forward and threw her over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry.
“Daddy, I can walk!”
Whack! His hand swatted her bottom firmly, drawing a gasp from her lips. “I think this bottom needs some attention on the way.”
“I’ve been good,” Pippa promised as they entered the hallway.
“Right. How many vegetables did you eat?”
Silence filled the air. There hadn’t been any on the pizza last night. She was getting a deluxe one next time. That type would have peppers and onions disguised under the cheese. Lying to her daddy wouldn’t be a good idea.
When they reached the bedroom, she finally said, “Um…”
A second smack landed on her bottom. “Um… Indeed.”
He leaned forward to drop her onto the bed and loomed over her. “Next time I’m gone, eat the veggies in the freezer instead of the red licorice I found in the pantry.”
“It’s red…” Pippa tried.
“You really want a spanking, don’t you?” he asked with twinkling brown eyes that erased the threat in his voice.
“Kiss me, Daddy. I missed you.”
Zale captured her lips once again and kissed her with so much emotion. He’d missed her, too.
Pippa threaded her fingers through his bristly short hair and returned each with all the love inside her. His eyes were dark with hunger this time when he lifted his head. Moving urgently, Zale stood and started ripping his clothes off.
She pushed herself up on her elbows to watch. Damn, he was in fine shape. He was more handsome than the stars in the movies. When he pushed his pants and briefs over his hips, Pippa stared at his burgeoning cock as it lengthened and thickened.
“Little girl, you’re staring,” he teased, as he stepped out of his garments.
“I’m not sorry,” she admitted, glancing up at his face.
“I think it’s time for me to return the favor.” He stepped forward to pull her to her feet by the bed. His hand caressed over her, somehow easing her clothing off along the way. Her pretty jumper dress and bra soon flew somewhere across the room.
Lowering himself to one knee, Zale eased her shoes off and stroked his hands from her ankles up her legs to the plain cotton panties she wore. Pippa promised herself that she would buy something lacy and decadent with her first paycheck. The feel of his rough fingertips glancing over the thin elastic waistband made her meet his gaze.
“You are so beautiful, kitten. I am the luckiest daddy in the world.”
“I’m not very fancy,” she whispered.
“I don’t need fancy. Nothing can make me want you more.” He tugged her panties down, allowing the band to brush against her skin.
