Ariana had a few more minutes left before she would be allowed to rush to the bathroom to relieve herself. Normally, he would administer the punishment while she held the fluid, but this wasn’t a normal situation.
She never should have been put in the position to begin with. He should have been able to explain to her what was to happen. Instead, she’d been thrown into the deep end without a life preserver.
All of which he shouldn’t give a damn about. She’d disobeyed. It should be simple. But nothing since he’d laid eyes on the girl was simple anymore.
When he arrived in the community washroom, Meggy, one of the night nannies was standing beside Ariana with the nozzle in hand. Shelby and Mae were already making their way back out from the toilets, their towels wrapped tightly around their bodies.
“You girls go on into the dressing rooms. Your daddies will be down shortly.” The nanny sent them on their way. They scurried together past him to the adjoining room.
“I’ll take care of this. You can go help the other girls. Ariana will be with me the rest of the evening.” He jerked his head toward the door, and Meggy nodded.
“Of course.” She hurried from the room as though her ass were about to be lit on fire, too. The night nannies, not having dealt with the Daddies as often, were skittish around most of them.
“Please.” Ariana turned her bright red face in his direction. Tears streaked her cheeks. He could pound Nancy into the ground with one blow with all the anger coursing through his body at seeing his girl so humiliated and beaten down.
“You disobeyed your nanny,” he said, gripping the nozzle.
“I’m sorry. I just didn’t understand what she wanted. I was confused. Surprised,” she explained.
“Still.” He began to ease the nozzle from her ass, being careful to watch for her muscles to clench before removing it fully. If she had an accident right there, she would be shattered. “Hold as best you can, Ariana. Let’s get you to the toilet.” He touched her arm, helping her from the bench.
“I can go on my own.” She pulled gently from his grasp. “Please.” Tear-filled eyes met his gaze.
He was a complete fucking asshole. How many girls had he put through this? He’d always consoled himself with the fact they didn’t know better. But seeing the embarrassment in her expression, he knew for certain.
She knew exactly what was going on. Lullaby was not working on her mind.
“Okay, go on. I’ll be right here.” He nodded, and she took off to the bathroom, her hands pressing against her asscheeks, as if that would help.
He picked up her discarded towel on the floor and dropped it on the bench. The door to the bathroom opened and Frank Romero walked in, Nancy right behind him.
Fucking hell.
“Costello.”
“Frank. Good to see you.” Costello put out his hand to his boss for a handshake. Once the pleasantries were exchanged, he pointed to the toilets.
“She in there?”
“Ariana? Yes,” Costello answered.
“Nancy said there was some trouble with her tonight.”
“I’m about to deal with Ariana’s behavior, even though it wouldn’t have happened if Nancy hadn’t gone forward with the enema without my knowledge. I like to inform the girls when it’s going to take place and why. It’s important that they understand they are doing it for me, so when they get sold, they know everything they’re asked to do is for that Daddy.”
Frank nodded. “I agree.” He turned to his cousin. “We aren’t going through all this hassle of training these girls just to torment them for our own fun. Their new owners may do so, but that’s not what we do here. We sell quality products, and we can’t do that if you get in the way of their training.”
“Of course.” Nancy lowered her gaze.
“I hope she didn’t bother you with this,” Costello said, pleased to see her plan at getting Frank involved had obviously backfired.
“No, no, I was here anyway when I ran into her. I was going to check in with Shelby and Gianni. But since I’m here. Might as well meet this Ariana girl. Bring her to the dayroom for her discipline. It’s good for the other girls.”
Costello’s heart slowed. “Sure thing,” he agreed. What choice did he have? If he said no…fuck that, no one said no to Frank.
Ariana had been through so much already for the day, and now she was going to have to bear a public punishment. And she didn’t have the Lullaby to help cloud her mind from the realities of it.
“I’ll see you in there then,” Frank said.
The door closed behind them just as Ariana came out of the toilets.
“Ariana.” He sighed. “You really picked the wrong night to misbehave.”
“I was only confused.”
“It doesn’t matter.” He shook his head. “You’re going to have to learn to obey every command given no matter by who or if you understand why.”
