In this snippet, Maggie and her Daddy go shopping for more toys for Maggie to play with when she is acting little.

“Ian! I don’t need
that!” I shouted as he tossed another doll into our cart. The cart was already
filled to the top with books, two objects Ian called creatograms, colorful
beads, coloring books, and several dolls. Now we were moving toward games and
stuffed animals.
“Young lady, I don’t
want to hear that again. You may not need any of this stuff, but it’s okay to
want it. Besides, who says that this isn’t all for me? I love a good tiara,” he
joked, picking up a plastic crown that was bright silver with colorful gems all
over it from one of the shelves and putting it on his head, while batting his
eyes.
“Daddy, you’re being
silly,” I giggled. He laughed right along with me.
When we settled down,
I said, “But seriously, I don’t want to use all of your money on buying toys.”
He stopped walking,
turned his head to the ceiling, and took a deep breath before he turned toward
me. He bent down until we were at eye level.
“Listen, baby girl.
Whether you need any of this or not, it pleases me to buy it for you. Now, I
don’t want to hear any more complaints or I’ll take you shopping every day for
the rest of our mating period.”
“You wouldn’t!” I was
trying to save the guy some money. What kind of man got frustrated when his
mate was trying to save him money?
“Try me, little
girl.” After a stare-down with Ian’s eyes turning a dark red, I dropped my gaze
first, submitting to what he wanted. “Now I want you to pick out a dozen
stuffed animals and put them in the cart,” he ordered.
I nodded, going down
the aisle, grabbing the ones that I wanted. After I chose my first two animals,
I suddenly really got into it and started to have fun.
“Oh! Look at this
cutie!”
I wasn’t sure what
some of these animals were, but I didn’t care because they were so adorable and
extra soft.
Within minutes, I had
picked out my dozen, plus one more, and turned toward my daddy.
“Good girl. Would you
like to look at the puzzles?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Maggie,” he growled
in a warning tone.
“It’s not because I’m
trying to save your money. It’s because I’m not good at puzzles, honest. It’s
really sad; even the easiest puzzles confuse me.”
I felt a little
stupid admitting that. A normal person would be able to solve a puzzle for kids
in a matter of seconds. Me? A kids’ puzzle could take me an hour to do.
“Well, how about we
get two and I’ll help you with them?”
I nodded and chose
one puzzle that was a picture of the sea with strange but colorful fish in it,
and another puzzle that was a picture of the Aureusian skyline. They each had
only forty pieces. I hoped I didn’t make a complete fool of myself when Ian and
I did them.
When I went to put
the puzzles in the cart, there was no room. I thought it was too much, but
didn’t dare say so again.
“I think we’ll have
stop, Daddy, or get another cart.”
It felt so weird to
call him that, but I knew right away that it pleased him when a huge grin lit
up his face.
“I guess you’re
right, sweetie. We can come back any time.”
He had to be kidding,
but when no smile crossed his face, I knew he wasn’t.
We went over to the
checkout area. Daddy emptied the contents of our cart onto the conveyer belt. He
turned toward me and said, “Sweetie, put your puzzles up here so I can pay for
them.”
“Are you sure I can
get them?” He had already spent so much money on me today.
He nodded and smiled
as I put my puzzles on the moving belt. After that, the teller rang up all of
our purchases and bagged them.
Once Daddy paid, a kind worker
helped us load everything into our ship, and we headed home.

THE BLURB
When
twenty-six-year-old Maggie Reeves wakes up in a hospital after a car accident,
the last thing she expects is for a doctor from the planet Aureus to show up at
her bedside. It is disturbing enough that she has seen this handsome alien
before, in dreams so intimate that just thinking about them leaves her
blushing, but the real shock comes when he calmly informs Maggie that she is
his destined mate and he will be taking her with him to his world to finish her
treatment.
Though
Ian knows that his beautiful human mate is none too pleased with her situation,
his planet’s treaty with Earth gives him two weeks to convince Maggie to accept
the match. During that time, he will be her firm but loving daddy. He will hold
his little girl in his arms, comfort her when she is sad, and cook her favorite
foods, but he will also see to her most intimate, embarrassing needs and he
will not hesitate to spank her bare bottom when she is naughty.
Despite
her initial reluctance to trust him, Maggie soon finds herself surrendering
willingly to Ian’s strict but gentle dominance and letting him take care of her
completely. But when the mating period comes to an end and she is free to
return to Earth if she chooses, will Maggie decide to stay with her new daddy
or leave his arms forever?
