Daddy's Girl (Locked to Nariko Lunae)

It'd been a long day to cap off a long week - but well worth it to get a full three day weekend away from the office, his PA and his phone. It was worth it to spend time with his special little girl. Dawn marked his beloved daughter Nariko's thirteenth birthday and he had the biggest of surprises planned for her. A trip anywhere her heart desires, anything she might want while they're away handed to her and Friday night after a very special dinner he'd present her with a very special piece of jewelry and, most importantly in his mind, make her not just a woman - but his special lady. He'd picked out her necklace - her collar - months before, when he had know that she was ready - that if he wanted her, he would have to pluck her soon before her mind was mixed up with her Nanny's incessant rules about what proper society did.

He didn't give a shit about proper society.

What he did care about was making his little girl very, very happy. And knowing that soon she would return that happiness in spades.

It was late when he got in the night before her birthday after a two week trip to Tokyo and while he was exhausted, his very first trip wasn't to his own bed but to Nariko's room where he could still see her small reading light on under the door.

"Nari," he murmured, pushing open  the door just in time to see her light flick off and the blanket yanked up over her head. "Nari, love... I know you're not sleeping. I saw your light in the window." Boldly, he climbed into her large bed behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist as he pulled back her blanket and pressed a warm kiss against her ear. "What're we reading this time?"
