Their Princess

Chapter 81

I'm stirred awake by soft lips peppering kisses on my cheek, jaw, and neck. A hand cups my bottom and caresses it with a gentle touch. I turn in Daddy’s arm in search of my reward. And as if he already knew I would demand it, he unbuttoned his shirt and let me latch on his nipple. 

Although these days I like to suck on his cock but today I want to be in his arms. Throwing one leg on his hip, I clutch him tightly like a koala bear.

He chuckles. “ Good morning to you too, sweetheart.” I hum in reply. It's too early to use your vocal chords.

He let me stay in his arms for a while and then bathe me. I try to stand straight but it's too early for my liking. Daddy has to hold me with one hand while bathe me with another. 

I always plan to seduce him in the mornings like these but all my sexiness is wasted in trying to stay awake. 

I will try to be sexy tomorrow.

“ Hey, is she ready?” Rey asks from the door.

“ Yes. Why?”

“ I wanted to take her to the office.”

“ Eli won't like it.”

“ But she enjoyed herself yesterday. Right baby?” I nod my head under the sweater that is stuck on my head. Daddy pushes it down, making my hair more disheveled. 

“ Fine. Let me comb her hair first.” 

Daddy’s tab chimes in the silent room with a message. 

“ Baby, can you read the message for me?” As soon as I picked his tab up, I knew this day wasn't going to end well. “ What does it say, love?”

“ Shafira is here.” I say dryly.

—---------------------------------------------------

“ What do you want? I have got a lot of work so make it quick.” Daddy orders, shuffling through his paperwork while I sit beside Rey on the couch.

I refused to have breakfast in the dining room while Shafira chatted with Daddy in his office. So, now Rey is here with me feeding me extremely small bites so that I don't choke on my food as I'm way too invested in listening to what Shafira has to say rather than eating.

“ I need a favor.” Shafira replies in a small voice. She isn't wearing her usual confidence today. Hunched shoulders, red eyes, dark circles, casual clothes. It ain't like her. I wonder what made this steel woman crumble like this.

Maybe she is having one of those hard days. Although I don't like her, I just don't like it when people are sad. It feels like I'm tasked to help them out of this phase. 

“ Interesting. Never imagined this day would come. I'm all ears.” Daddy says. 

“ I…. I want you to marry me.” I choke on my last bite, coughing violently while trying to get my head around Shafira’s word.

“ Princess!!!” Daddy immediately kneels in front of me, offering me a glass of water while Rey pats my back. Tears pool in my eyes, but thankfully, I get myself under control.

Rey and Daddy sigh in relief. “ Be careful, love.” I nod absently. Daddy picks me up and takes me to his throne, and places me on his lap.

“ I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so blatant about it. I just wanted to get it out.” Looking at her face, I realize she is indeed feeling sorry.

“ Who are you working for, Shafira? Your father is under our custody, leaving you to our mercy. So, stop offering proposals and get to the point.” Rey glares Shafira down, who is actually looking like she is about to cry.
