“I promise I’ll take good care of him. Now go on, get, before we change our minds.”

“Yes, Daddies. Thank you!”

Giving them each one more kiss, she turned on her heel and scrambled out the door, squealing all the way.

Chapter Eleven

Tessa

“Okay, girls. I know it’s a sleepover and I know you guys wanna stay up and chat and play, and that’s okay for a little while, but there are gonna be some rules.”

His announcement was met with a chorus of good-natured groans from Tessa and her friends. “Sleepovers don’t have rules, Daddy!” Luna protested.

“Well, this one does,” Baze countered. “I’m going to bed soon. I’ll leave you be for a while but if I hear you after eleven, everyone is getting a spanking. If I hear you after twelve, I call all your Daddies and you go home.”

Tessa stilled. She’d been ready to protest, but the threats Baze was making were serious business.

“Yes, Mister Daddy,” they sing-songed in unison.

“Good girls.” He gave them each a kiss on the cheek and gave Luna a kiss on the lips before leaving the room, shutting off the light as he went.

Luna cocked her head, listening to the sound of her Daddy’s footsteps as he walked away. “Okay,” she whispered as soon as the door was closed. “I have the best idea for what we can do though.”

Tessa hesitated. “Just how much trouble will it get us in?” She knew her friends would all be on the same page about not getting sent home in the middle of the night, but she knew also that Mariah, Margo and Luna were naughty enough to get them all in trouble.

“This isn’t naughty. It’s not breaking any rules. It’s just a fun prank.”

Tessa brightened. She did love a good prank, even if she didn’t always love the consequence of said prank.

Intrigued, she watched as Luna pulled open a dresser drawer, dug around for a minute and came up with a small pile of white papers.

“I have tattoos!” she exclaimed.

“Ooh, lemme see!” Margo cried, jumping up to make a grab for what Luna was holding. Mariah was right behind her.

“I don’t know. A tattoo might make the Daddies mad.” Tessa frowned. She was still learning about Dax and Beau, still feeling them out. She didn’t think they would get too upset, but she couldn’t be sure. Well, she was sure Dax wouldn’t. With Beau, she couldn’t tell. He had strong, silent type vibes. She didn’t know him as well yet.

“Oh relax,” her twin sister, Ellie spoke up from beside her. “It’s temporary. It comes out with soap and water.”

“Well… I guess that would be okay.” Tessa took a tiny step forward. “What kind do you have?” She was secretly hoping for a giraffe but she knew that was a long shot.

“They are all the same!” Margo exclaimed gleefully.

Tessa’s enthusiasm dropped.

“They are hearts that say Daddy’s,” Luna explained. “I thought we could put them on our butts!”

Her friends exploded in raucous laughter and Tessa couldn’t help but join in. The thought of Dax or Beau or both changing her, helping her into her jammies or even spanking her only to discover a tattoo on her bottom marking their territory, was too good to resist.

“I’m in!”

“Yay!” Margo, Mariah, and Ellie all clapped. Jade and Jilly hung behind looking unsure.

“Jilly doesn’t have a Daddy,” Jade reminded them, “and I’m not sure when Ryan will be home. But he did say if I got in trouble here, there would be more waiting for me when he did.”

“Well, of course!” Margo rolled her eyes. “Knox said the same. That’s part of the fun.”

“Graham said that too,” Mariah admitted. “Even though he knows me well enough to know it’s not really a deterrent.”
