Desiring the Forbidden by Megan Michaels

change that easily. I’ll be sure to not be here when she comes.” She tried pulling the blanket off. She needed to go to her room and be away from him for a bit.
    “No. You won’t be at your apartment by then. The guys will be arrested but that doesn’t mean that it’ll be safe for you. I think I can still control two girls — especially both of my girls. It’ll be fine. Trust me.” He pulled her against him, kissing her temple. She wished it would be that easy, but she had her doubts.
    “I’m going to finish up in the kitchen.” He stood, walking back toward the sink. “We’ll find something to do when I’m done. Oh, and Madison?”
    “Yes, Daddy.”
    “Don’t think I didn’t notice that you aren’t sitting on your butt. I’ll let it slide this time.”
    Her pussy clenched. She didn’t even know how to respond. “Thank you?”
    “You’re welcome, baby.”

    C ade came through the door loaded with bags and bags — and more bags — from the mall. He was always amazed watching women at the mall; they foraged for clothes, makeup and shoes like squirrels after acorns and nuts. He swore they spent an hour in Sephora alone looking at mascara, lipstick, and foundation.
    He didn’t say it to her, but he’d felt like a damn fool holding her clutch purse and pink and black-striped bags from the store next door, watching her with all that stuff painting her face — wondering why she thought she’d looked better with it. He loved her as she was. No makeup was needed. Her cheeks had a natural blush, her pink lips pouty and full, gray eye shadow and mascara completely unnecessary for her striking blue eyes. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. Natural. Women were more attractive, in his mind, without all that fluff.
    “All right, sweet pea, gather your new clothes. We can start washing them so you have things to wear starting tonight. Don’t forget the rule — no panties under either your yoga pants or skirts while at home. You can wear anything you want when I’m gone to work, but I want your ass available to me when I’m home. Gotta keep Daddy happy.” He winked at her, chuckling as he piled her bags onto her bed. He swore he saw the beginning of an eye roll, but he’d let her get away with it as long as she thought he was unaware.
    His cell phone vibrated in his pocket. “Trooper Cade Johnson.” His assistant, Wyatt, was on the line. By the sound of his voice, he was calling from the cruiser.
    “Captain, it looks like there’ll be a transaction going down this evening with Zack and Jared tonight at Sam’s Bar.”
    Cade looked over at Sunni, who was ripping tags off her clothes willy-nilly, blissfully unaware of his conversation. He slipped out of the room. “Do we know where and what time? I’d like to stay here with Sunni — Madison Weaver — unless it’s necessary for me to assist or be present.”
    “They’re saying it’s supposed to be around ten on Saturday night. They’re meeting up with a… Rachel Mendez.”
    “That’s a rough area over there. We need to have at least six troopers — and please tell me that the DEA is involved and will be present.” Cade turned on the coffee maker to make a fresh pot.
    “Yes, Sir. The DEA notified us of where and when. It’s their show — we’re just there for back-up. I’ll contact you if we need you to talk to someone, or fill out any paperwork.”
    Cade sighed loudly. “The son-of-a-bitchin’ paperwork can wait until Monday. Call if you need me for anything else.”
    He clicked the phone off, turning to fill the carafe with water — bumping right into Sunni.
    “Daddy, when the time comes, you can go arrest Zack and Jared. I’ll behave here on my own. Besides, I have all my new makeup, clothes, and books to read.”
    He pinched her chin between his thumb and forefinger. “Were you eavesdropping on my conversation, little girl?”
    Her throat visibly worked as she tried to
