Chapter Ten
Hadley held Finn’s hand tightly as they walked down to the stables.
“I see Sadie,” Finn said, trying to help her nerves. She had gotten quiet as soon as they’d left their room. Of course, she’d been a little nervous before leaving the room when he’d changed her diaper. Poor baby had been redder than Rudolph’s nose.
She nodded and sucked her pacifier harder. Finn stopped and knelt so she could see his eyes. “If you want to go back to the room, you tell me, baby. We don’t have to meet Alfie or Monica today,” he soothed.
She nodded.
He straightened and they continued their walk to the barn. The air was so cold it hurt to breathe. How did people willingly live in the state of Montana?
“Keep your hat and gloves on, okay?” Finn told her.
She nodded and gave an exaggerated little shiver.
“It is cold, babygirl.”
Hadley’s shoulders straightened at his term of endearment and he felt a pride in his chest. She was glad to be his when really, he was the lucky one.
“Hi!” Sadie yelled, running in their direction.
“Sadie,” a man yelled.
Sadie immediately stopped running. “Sorry, Master Travis,” she called over her shoulder.
She took Hadley’s hand and they walked together back toward another girl and the man, whom Finn now knew was Master Travis.
“Wren, this is Hadley, Hadley this is Wren,” Sadie introduced.
“It’s nice to meet you,” Wren said.
Hadley flipped through her cards. Nice to meet you.
“ This is my Daddy, Travis,” Wren said, directing her statement to both Hadley and Finn.
Finn extended his hand. “Hello, I’m Finn, Hadley’s Daddy.”
At the announcement, Sadie grabbed Hadley’s arms and started hopping around. “He’s your Daddy now?”
Hadley grinned and nodded, before jumping up and down too. Wren, not sure what they were celebrating, started jumping as well.
“Littles, the ice,” Finn reminded, firmly. He didn’t want them to fall.
They obediently stopped jumping but continued their squealing.
Travis chuckled and shook his head. “Alright, I promised Master Derek we wouldn’t be out here too long. It’s very cold.”
They followed Travis inside the stables and toward the back. The Littles chatted in excitement while Finn took in the area. He was in awe of the beauty of the stable. He knew it was big just from the outside, but it had well over two dozen stalls and these weren’t the only animals on the property. The floors were hard-packed and covered in hay. The smell of the hay made Hadley sneeze and Finn made a mental note to pick up some Benadryl on the way back to their room.
Travis opened the door to a stall labeled Alfie. An adorable alpaca wandered out into the open. His fur was thick and curly and even Finn would admit he wanted to cuddle him.
“You can pet him. He likes it. You can also feed him a carrot, but you need to hold your hand flat,” Master Travis said, demonstrating how to hold their hands.
Everyone took a carrot and Finn watched in amusement as the Little girls played with the alpaca that thought he was a horse. Shaking his head, Finn laughed. “Only at Rawhide Ranch.”
“Let’s just hope he doesn’t decide he’d rather be a reindeer after he sees the team we’re bringing in.”
The stable-master’s words caught Finn’s attention. “Where on earth are you going to find reindeer?”
Travis chuckled. “Believe me, when Derek sets his mind to something, I honestly don’t believe anything is impossible.” As the Little girls continued to fuss over Alfie, Travis told Finn how the horses in the stables had become unicorns for a prank. “Guess he was a bit leery of what those Littles might decide to do to the horses this time so you can bet Santa’s team will be authentic.”
Finn grinned as he looked over at his Little girl. She was eye to eye with an alpaca, one hand held out palm flat offering Alfie a carrot while her other was buried in the soft fur of the alpaca’s coat. Imagining her surprise at seeing an actual reindeer made his smile grow even wider. “If the reindeer are anything like Alfie, Derek might discover he’s going to need to build another stable.”
“Not to worry, he’ll make sure the Littles understand those reindeer belong to Santa and if they want to stay on the nice list, they won’t fuss when Santa takes them away. Besides, he’ll need his team to deliver gifts to all the boys and girls all over the world.”
Finn could easily understand the reasoning. “Well, I’ve got to say. It seems that every single day we’ve been here we’ve discovered something unexpected and, well… I guess you could say magical.”
“Just wait until you meet the turkeys and Stella.” Travis laughed.
“Stella?”
“A dairy cow with no milk.”
“No milk?”
“None. Not a drop. She’s really just a pet.”
Finn laughed. “A damn cow that doesn’t make milk.”
“One of the Little girls on the Ranch had a farm full of animals that didn’t do what they should. She loved them all, and now they live here where they’re very loved despite their differences,” Travis explained.
Hadley looked up at Finn and he winked at her, silently communicating that she was loved despite her differences as well.
Finn fed Hadley a bite of applesauce. “You did so good eating all your dinner tonight, baby.”
Hadley rubbed her watery eyes and sniffled.
“Meeting all the fuzzy friends messed your allergies up. I’ve got some medicine to give you after you finish eating.”
She nodded and took a bite of the soup he’d ordered her. It was a new food, but she’d eaten almost all of it. “It was worth it to meet Alfie, Stella, and all the turkeys, Daddy.”
He chuckled. “That cow was a literal pasture puppy. So fucking sweet.”
“So fucking sweet,” she parroted, making him laugh.
“Sweet girls don’t repeat their Daddy’s naughty words.”
“Maybe Daddy shouldn’t say naughty words then.”
“Fair point.” He laughed again.
“All done?” she asked.
“You want to be all done?”
She nodded.
“Is your belly full?”
She nodded again.
“Okay, baby. Do you want to have a baba on the couch while I clean up the kitchen?”
“Okay, Daddy.” He kissed her forehead and lifted her from the highchair. Once he got her settled on the couch with one of her favorite movies, he went back and fixed her a bottle of apple juice. After drawing up the medicine, he carried her bottle over to her and gave her the medicine and then her bottle.
“You relax here, Peeps, and when I’m done, I will give you a bath and we can snuggle in Daddy’s big bed, okay?”
“All night?”
“All night, baby.”
She grinned and went back to watching her movie. He smiled, he could finally sleep holding her in his arms.
Finn cleaned the kitchen in record time and peeked in on Hadley. She looked so sleepy, but he knew she wouldn’t be willing to go to bed without a bath.
“Hey, Peeps, are you ready for a bath?”
“Shower with you?”
“You want to take a shower with Daddy?”
She nodded.
“I would love that, baby. Let’s go,” he said, scooping her up from the couch.
He carried her into the bathroom and stripped her off before sitting her on the potty. “Daddy’s going to go get some pajamas for you. You stay right there for me, okay?”
She nodded. Poor baby, she looked so sleepy and so flushed from her embarrassment from being naked in front of him.
He came back into the bathroom a few minutes later, glad to find her still awake. He kicked off his shoes and unbuckled his belt. His Little girl suddenly looked much more awake.
Finn chuckled as Hadley leaned forward to watch him undress. He made a show of it, humming under his breath and flexing his hips. She giggled and clapped, egging him on. He unbuttoned his pants and peeled them and his boxers off. He was already fully erect and his cock bobbed with his movements.
“Whoa,” Hadley whispered.
He wished he could ask her about her sexual experience without embarrassing her, although he was pretty sure she didn’t have any.
Fisting his cock, he stroked himself slowly, happy to see her breathing change a tiny bit.
Reaching up, he began to unbutton his shirt before sliding his thick shoulders from it.
“You’re so big,” Hadley said. “All over.”
“You’re going to make my head swell, Peeps.”
“Which one?”
Laughing, he kissed her on the forehead and reached inside the shower to turn the water on. She wrapped her hand around his cock and stroked much like he’d done.
“Shit, Hadley,” he groaned.
She pulled her hand back. “I’m sorry.”
“No, baby, you don’t have to be sorry. It just felt so good,” he explained, guiding her hand back to his length. She stroked him again and he dropped his head. “Fuck.”
“It’s so hard, but not really.”
“It’s smooth,” he filled in for her.
“Yeah, smooth. And very big.”
“I can’t wait to be buried deep inside you.”
“It won’t fit,” she replied.
Laughing, Finn secured her hair in a clip and helped her stand before guiding her into the shower. He lathered up a cloth. “Can Daddy bathe you, Peeps?”
She flushed in the way he adored. “Yes, Daddy.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing that.”
“Yes?” she teased.
“Daddy, you silly goose.”
He washed her gently as he stole kisses from her lush lips. “I love you, little girl.”
“I love you too, Daddy. I can’t believe this is happening.”
“That we’re together?”
“Yeah. It seems so surreal.”
“I agree. Like a dream that I never want to wake up from.”
He stole one more kiss before taking pity on her. Poor baby was so sleepy.
“Daddy’s gonna wash your pussy now, Peeps.”
She nodded.
He gently washed her sweet little cunt and ass. “All clean, babygirl. You did so good for me. Let Daddy get cleaned up and we’ll snuggle like cozy bugs in rugs.”
“Ew, Daddy. Can we just snuggle like Daddy and Hadley? I dun wanna be a bugs.”
Finn smiled and kissed her forehead. “Yes, baby. That sounds good too.”
