She nodded and continued, “Anyway, I needed a break when I left criminal justice, so I went to my relative’s farm to relax for a while. My grandfather had worked as a volunteer firefighter years ago. When I was sulking around, he set up an obstacle training course. To his complete surprise, I was a natural. He decided I must have inherited his side of the family’s strength.” Giana laughed and flexed her biceps.
“Being a firefighter has a huge physical component,” Koa agreed. He’d very definitely noticed her toned muscles.
“He said my butt’s big to store all my power,” Giana shared with a laugh that contained a bit of self-consciousness.
“Funny, I thought your adorable butt was made for me to spank.”
Her face blushed pink, and she dropped her forehead down to his shoulder. “That really turns me on,” she admitted.
“A good girl spanking should turn you on. A bad girl spanking—not so much.”
“I don’t plan to be bad. I mean, I know there are Littles who brat. Aspen and Pippa admitted they sometimes deliberately do the wrong thing. I can’t see myself doing that.”
“A spanking can be a release if you’re stressed or upset. Crying effectively releases all those pent-up feelings. Can you tell me if you need some extra discipline?” Koa asked, leaning back to scan her face.
Giana pressed her nose to his shirt and shook her head.
“Daddy needs to see you, Flame. I want to make sure you’re okay,” Koa said sternly. He cupped her cheeks and tilted her beautiful face up. She chewed on her bottom lip. Koa guessed she was fretting about his answer.
“This is a tough conversation to have in a few minutes. Would you feel better if I tell you I will give you whatever you need: a spanking, a hug, tender lovemaking, urgent sex, time as a very little Little. We’ll experiment with everything and see what works for us.”
Giana’s breath gusted from her lungs. Her features softened as the tension drained from her expression. “I would enjoy experimenting and knowing that I don’t have to do it again if I don’t like it. Or you don’t enjoy it,” she added quickly.
“I’ll be honest. I have some hard limits. How about if I send you a list of activities anyone might explore in a BDSM relationship, and you can check it out if you have free time and privacy at work?”
“Hard limits mean those things you don’t want to do?” she asked.
When he nodded, Giana hesitated. Helping her, he clarified, “I’m not a fan of knife or blood play, strap-ons, and humiliation. Can you live without those?”
“Oh, I wouldn’t like those either,” she agreed with a shudder.
“There may be some others you’d like to take off. Be honest. Daddy will pick up if you lie about something you don’t want because you think I am into it,” Koa warned.
A honk drew their attention as Aspen and Jerico drove past followed by Pippa, Zale, and the rest of the team heading home. Koa loved Giana’s enthusiastic waves at her new friends. He loved that she’d already bonded with the other little girls.
Koa tightened his arms around her waist and kissed her soundly. “I’ve missed holding you as I sleep, little girl.”
“We only shared a bed once,” she said.
“We did. Somehow, the amount of time wasn’t important. My heart has already decided you’re mine. I don’t plan to let you go, Flame.”
“Do you call me Flame because I’m a firefighter?”
“No, Giana. Because I’m drawn to you like a moth to a flame. You’re irresistible,” Koa told her.
They both looked down at her arm when a beep sounded.
“Oh, no. I have to go, Koa. I’m so sorry.”
“Call me Daddy and I’ll forgive you,” he told her before pressing a soft kiss to her irresistible lips.
“I’m so glad you’re home, Daddy,” she whispered.
“Will you come to my house when you get off?” he asked. “We have three days off before our training starts again.”
“In less than twenty-five hours, I’ll pound on your door,” she promised.
“I’m going to hold you to that.” Koa stepped back and helped Giana into her truck. He didn’t move from that spot until she had disappeared from sight. Then, he dragged himself back to his vehicle and climbed inside. He’d go get some sleep to revitalize while he waited for her.
CHAPTER 6
Giana spotted Koa from several houses away and barely kept herself from drooling. Her buff daddy wore only a brief pair of training shorts as he pushed the mower around the yard. It looked like he’d already cut his neighbors’ lawns on each side of him and only had a small patch left to go. She slowed to watch the amazing scenery as his toned body maneuvered the rumbling machine across the grass.
When he turned to mow that final strip, Koa noticed her. He ran the mower forward, finishing the job as she pulled into his driveway. She’d barely gotten the truck turned off when he reached her. Giana threw open the door and tumbled out into his arms, confident he would catch her.
