16. Luke

"Okay, crawl into bed, baby. Get your stuffies situated," Luke instructed, following her into her bedroom.

Ally did as she was told and crawled under the covers, pulling a large stuffed elephant close to her body.He began tucking the blankets all around her body, making sure she was snuggled in tight. Her eyes were already becoming heavy.

"Will you lay with me?" she asked sleepily.

Nodding, Luke lay on top of the covers next to her and wrapped his arm around her. It didn't take long before Ally was fast asleep in his arms. He smiled when her thumb found its way into her mouth.

She really needs a pacifier.

Driving Ally to work over the next couple of days gave him something to look forward to. They kept the conversation light and he had walked her to her door each time, reminding her to charge her phone and lock the deadbolt.

They texted regularly, mostly just checking in with each other. He ached to hold her in his arms again, but he needed to give her space, and he needed to keep his feelings in check until he knew if she wanted to try being his baby girl or not.

Once her car was ready to be picked up, Luke dreaded picking her up from work to take her to get her car. He worried that once they didn't have a reason to see each other, she would avoid him. It made him uneasy that she hadn't mentioned the book to him during their drives. He didn't want to press the topic and potentially push her away permanently. He wanted her in his life, even if it was just as friends. He would fantasize about her being his Little from a distance if he had to.

Pulling up to the diner a few minutes early, Luke decided to go in and wait for her to finish her shift. He wanted to relish every moment he could get with her in his presence. Thoughts of Melissa had mostly disappeared from his mind over the past few weeks since he met Ally. Instead, his mind was constantly focused on the cute Little girl.

He knew she was a Little. Her Little tendencies were so strong at times, but he didn't think she had any idea that she had them. They seemed to come so natural to her.

The night he showed up at her doorstep and she was in her pink footie pajamas, he almost lost it. She looked absolutely adorable and all he wanted to do was wrap her up in a thick diaper and feed her a bottle as she went to sleep.

When she went potty in front of him, he knew she was completely humiliated, but it had turned him on immensely seeing her in such an innocent form. He was also so proud of her for submitting to him in such an intimate way.

"Oh hi," she said happily when he walked in the diner.

"Hi, sweet girl."

"I'm almost done, I just need to clean my last table."

Luke nodded and flashed a smile.

"No problem, baby girl, take your time. I'm in no rush."

He wasn't in any kind of rush. He would wait for her all night if it meant getting to have her in his presence. He would see her day and night if it was up to him. Hell, he would move her into his house if he had the chance. He needed her to be his and only his. He needed to dominate her in every way possible and own her body. But he wouldn't do it without her consent, and she hadn't given him that yet.

He knew he had pushed her limits since the night they met when he threatened to spank her, but when it came down to it, she could have stopped it all and he wouldn't have done anything to her without her consent. He knew that even though she didn't like the discipline spanking she had received, she had consented to it. She had consented to everything so far whether she knew it or not.

"Ready to go?"

"Yep, let's go," he answered, guiding her out of the diner with his hand at the small of her back.

The ride home seemed quieter than normal. Ally seemed lost in her thoughts.

"What's on your mind, little one?"

Ally looked over at him, studying him before shaking her head.

"Nothing."

He wanted to force her to share everything with him, but he couldn't. She wasn't his to force. If she was, he would have a rule that required her to communicate anything that was bothering her.

When they got to the tire store, Luke instructed Ally to stay in the car as he went inside to get her keys and pay for the tires. She was sitting in the same spot he left her when he walked out. He was pleased that she obeyed him.

When he opened the car door, she had the book he had given her in her hand and his stomach dropped. This was it. She was going to give him the book, tell him he was a crazy perv, and never speak to him again.

Stepping out of the car, Ally grabbed her purse and turned toward him, holding the book out for him to take from her. When he took hold of the book, a brief moment passed before she released her grip. Her saucer sized green eyes looked up at him.

"I want you to be my Daddy."
