Added into Daddy’s Life novel Chapter 23

Michael's P.O.V.

What did she mean? I watched her as she watched me. How could she ask me that? She thought I was gonna drown her?

"Daddy....come on I have to get clean."

I didn't even know what to say. I watched as she stepped into the tub and sat quietly as she played with the rubber ducks. Did she seriously just forget that she zoned out for five minutes?

Before I could even speak my phone rang. Mya looked up at me and frowned. "I'll be right back baby ok?" She nodded and puckered her lips. "Kissy daddy." I smiled and quickly pecked her lips.

"Hoffstetter" I said answering the phone without looking at the caller ID. "Michael it's Nathan." My eyes widened. I haven't seen Nathan since I picked Mya up from the auction house. I spoke scratching the back of my head. "Hey Nathan what's up?"

"Well I'm calling because you had Mya for about two and a half weeks now and its time for inspection."

I was confused, "what do you mean inspection?" He cleared his throat, "we have a new policy here now that says; after two weeks of having your little, we have to come by to see how things are going between the dom and the little. We-" I cut him off. "Will you be doing the inspection or will someone else do it?" He hesitated and then stuttered a little. "Uh I will be doing it." My breath caught in my throat. "Are you kidding me? You of all people....you have about twenty three staff there and you're doing it? You didn't even treat the little right yourself so how the hell are you gonna do it?" He didn't answer. "I'll be there in exactly a half hour so have Mya ready and make sure everything is in check." With that he hung up.

I shook my head and took a deep breathe trying to calm my nerves. I didn't want Mya seeing me like this. I clenched and unclenched my fists and took one last deep breath.

"Daddy you back!!" Mya cheered as I walked back into the bathroom. I chuckled pecking her lips. "Of course princess, I wouldn't leave you."

I grabbed her rag since it was easier on her skin but she shook her head. "No daddy I want the puffy" she said pointing to her loofah. I shook my head, "not right now baby because your skin is really sensitive?"

"Sensitive?"

I nodded, "exactly. So how about this...lets bathe with the rag right now and then tonight after dinner we use the puffy, ok?" To my surprise she nodded, "Ok daddy." I smiled and pecked her lips.

I grabbed her wild berry body wash and applied it to her rag. She jumped when I pressed the rag against her skin. I gently rubbed her chest and back first since that was where she had the most cuts and scars.

"Stand up princess."

She grabbed my hand for support and slowly stood. I scrubbed her arms and her legs making sure to get the soap everywhere. Once I was done I grabbed the shampoo and applied a generous amount.

"Daddy I wanna sit" I nodded "go ahead honey." I added a little bit of water and slowly messaged her scalp. She sighed at the soothing contact. I chuckled quietly as I watched her eyes flutter close. I rinsed out the shampoo and grabbed the conditioner from the shelf. I poured it in her hair and repeated the messaging actions.

I drained the water from the tub and grabbed Mya's hand. "Stand up again baby." I turned on the shower head and rinsed the soap from her body. I made sure to do a double rinse for her hair to get all the conditioner out.

I lifted her petite frame out of the towel and wrapped her in her green frog towel. She whined and leaned into my chest. "You tired baby?" I asked kissing her wet hair. She nodded yawning.
