The phone on my desk buzzes against the sleek wood and I glance down, relief washing over me at the simple message from Evander.
Found her. Sheâs safe and in her Daddyâs capable hands.
Good. Hopefully Maxwell will ensure his Little girl never pulls a stunt like this again. Wherever she was hiding, she had nearly half the damn island searching for her. If she was my Little girl, she would not sit comfortably for the foreseeable future after such an incident.
My mind drifts a bit, and my cock swells in my slacks as images of a faceless Little girl, her bottom red and striped from my discipline fills my imagination.
As if on cue, my phone buzzes again. Itâs not a message this time, but a familiar face filling my screen. Curious what she could want, I hit the button to answer her call. âJuju. To what do I owe this lovely surprise?â
âUgh.â Her voice comes over the speaker, filled with the disgust only a little sister can manage. âYou know I hate it when you call me that.â
I do, and thatâs why I use that particular nickname. Juliet was a spoiled brat when her mother married my father, and becoming a Blackwood has only made her more entitled. Someone needs to put her in her place, and as her older brother I consider it my sacred duty to do so. âWhat do you need, Ju?â
âI was thinking Iâd come visit you for a bit. Mom says youâre out of the country and I thought you might want some company.â
Her tone is breezy. Too breezy, as if sheâs hiding something, and Iâm instantly on alert. âTrust me when I say that you do not want to be where I am right now, Juju.â
âCome on. Just for a few weeks. A month, tops, Iâm sure.â
Something isnât right. Sitting up straighter, I put every bit of âDaddyâ I have into my voice. âWhat arenât you telling me, Juliet?â
âItâs nothing, really,â she whines, sounding exactly like a Little girl trying to get out of telling her Daddy she was naughty. âJust a minor little felony charge.â
Shock renders me speechless for a moment. âWhat kind of felony charge?â
âI think the legal term is larceny.â
Jesus. âWho did you steal from?â
âDoes that really matter?â
It does, because sheltering her from the legal system is merely a matter of putting the right funds into the right hands. But if sheâs pissed off someone dangerous, Iâll need Evander to take extra precautions. âYes, it does. But we can talk about it more when you get to the island.â
âIsland?â Her voice perks up instantly. âLike a tropical island? With beaches and hot cabana boys? I am so there.â
I let her have her delusions. Sheâll learn the truth soon enough. âThere will be a plane waiting for you tonight. Iâll text you the details. Do our parents know about this âlittle felonyâ charge?â
When she responds, sheâs back to sulky spoiled child mode. âYes. Your dad talked my mom into completely cutting me off. They wonât even pay for a decent lawyer! Which is why I have to get out of here. Iâm too pretty for jail, Jasper.â
Glancing over at the picture of our parents on their wedding day, I canât help but grin. Itâs about time they grew a spine where Juliet was concerned. âWeâll take care of it, Juju. Be at the airport when I tell you. And pack light.â
âThank you so much. I promise youâll barely even notice Iâm there.â
I seriously doubt that. Because the Little girl in my fantasies, crying and begging over my knee as I turn her bottom a delightful shade of red is no longer some faceless stranger.
She looks exactly like my bratty little stepsister. And I canât fucking wait.
