Aspen POV.
“Get in the car, not another word,” I growl at my two puppies, I decided they are puppies, not wolves, not grown up, not even littles, they are just puppies. It’s not just them who’s getting in trouble tonight, Kiara and Micah aren’t in any better situation either, four littles, four puppies, four trouble makers.
“But, daddy,” Eliot tries to sound cute, gives me his puppy eyes, and even tries to get away from me.
“The only butt is your butt, both of yours, get in before I kick it to mars,” I say using Ashlynn’s mother’s threat.
“If we’re on Mars, who would keep you company here,” Eliot asks me again, he’s the one who’s trying to get out of his punishment while Ashlynn was quiet, maybe she’s scared of what I’d do.
“Keep it quiet Eliot, sit in the car,” I say ordering him in, while Ashlynn got in on her own, no fighting from her side.
“Daddy…” Ashlynn decides to talk now, of course, no little could stay quiet, not when worried they’d get punished
“Yes?” I answer Ashlynn, even now that I’m furious at her, I know not to stay quiet, I’m mad but I’m not going to cut her off, that would only break her little heart.
“I’m sorry,” she says, she should be sorry.
“We’re getting home, you’re both going to get in bed and keep quiet,” I order them both, we did go to the club, it’s a nice club, it’s a smart idea to do little nights, I should add that to my clubs, but until I get back there, the idea could wait.
“Okay,” Ashlynn agrees with me right away while Eliot tries to talk, but she shut him up until we got to the house, Ashlynn’s mother’s place.
We were going to sleep in Ashlynn’s room, her old-old room, the one she used to share with Jordan, my baby doesn’t like being alone, not since she was young, she’s still a puppy who’s afraid of being alone. She and Eliot took one bed and I slept on the other, better be away from them, away from their arses before I decide to tan them for what they did today.
“Daddy are you still mad?” Eliot asks me, cuddling with the other puppy, giving me his best look.
“I’m not mad, but what you two did, was unacceptable,” I say in a scolding voice, I’d really love to spank them both, but I won’t, yet.
“But Ashy can drive, we did nothing,” Eliot says, of course, she can but not when she’s in her little space.
“Baby Ash, shouldn’t be near a car without me or some dom, and you two shouldn’t have left the club without me,” I say mad at them, this isn’t the first time they do it, Jacob told me they did the same thing before, but last time a police car stopped them, this time it was the club bouncer, they even used the same trick, only this time it was Eliot who pretended to be big and not Ashlynn.
“Me play with cars all the time,” Ashlynn says with a big pout, I tried my best not to laugh, I’m supposed to be mad at them, not laughing.
“Yes, toy cars, not real cars Ashlynn and better keep it that way,” I say in a firm voice.
“Okay,” they both agree finally ready to go down and sleep.
“Now sleep, we have to wake up early,” I order them, we’re going to my home, well our home next, we’re going back to the city, once the whole war thing is over, then we’ll get back here or maybe to Micah’s place, the offer was still standing, we now have two options but we need to end my business there first.
“Nighty,” Ash says, while Eliot just grumbles something into her neck, falling asleep.
I woke up first, waking Ashlynn with me, she got up right away, but Eliot, I had to pick him up, dress him and carry him outside, we left Ashlynn’s car behind, she can have it when we move back in after I make sure she’s a good driver and that she doesn’t drive in her little space, not ever.
“Ready to say bye?” I ask Ashlynn, and she went and hugged all of her family, I was happy for her to have such a happy loving family, she had a good life, better than the two of us, and we plan on keeping on with the happy life once we settle back in.
“Are we taking another plane?” she asks me, she doesn’t really know where we are going.
“Yes, but it’s a shorter one, you can nap through it, once we get there, we’ll take another car ride to home,” I explain to her.
“Does Eliot have a playroom there?” she asks me, she means like the one int the Island, having to keep Eliot on an island, he needed the playroom to keep him entertained.
“Yes, you two have a playroom, our place is your place now, we’ll add toys you enjoy too,” I promise her, she can have anything she wants.
“Thank you,” she says, she’s the cutest, the most behaved little I’ve ever met, especially when she’s compared to the brat I deal with the whole day.
“You’re welcome,” I answer her, with a smile.
We got to the plane soon, we took a private one, I come from old money, very old money, it’s not just the mafia work, we have some legit work too, I tried my best to keep the legit work going, it’s my back plan if things go west.
Eliot was good to be sat all alone, he was asleep, he’s a heavy sleeper, he woke up a couple of times when he saw it’s me who’s holding him, he went right back to sleep. I and the princess got our chance to cuddle, with her sitting on my lap, she was half asleep, but still had a tone of questions to ask.
“Where do you live?” she asks me.
“I live in an apartment,” I answer her.
“And what would I do the whole day?” she asks me, she’s right what would she do? Eliot works with me, but she can’t join us, that’s not a chance.
“You can be a stay at home princess,” I suggest, I won’t force her to work.
“That’s boring,” she says rolling her eyes at me.
“You can work in one of my companies, I can make you the boss,” I say with a wink, sure I can find her some clean, safe job.
“Okay,” she says with a giggle.
