MICHAEL
It happened in slow motion. Michael watched as Monroe’s eyes went
wide and she started to cough. Shit. He didn’t meant for her to choke on the
water.
Michael waited a couple of seconds to see if she would catch her breath
and stop coughing. He didn’t want to go over there and make everything
worse.
It didn’t get better and he found himself quickly walking over to her and
sitting down. His hands gently made contact with her back, patting her to
help her stop coughing.
“Exhale slowly,” he whispered.
Monroe shook her head and tears sprang to her eyes as she coughed
more violently. Her face turned red as she continued to cough, and worry
filled Michael.
“Exhale for Daddy,” he found himself saying. “Do it for Daddy.”
Michael watched as she slowly started to exhale and come back to her
senses. Tears still ran down her face and it took everything in him not to run
his thumb across her cheek to get rid of them.
Every instinct in him was screaming at him to take care of her, to baby
her and help her get better. But it wasn't his place to do that. Monroe didn't
know him. And he was already pushing his boundaries.
In the heat of the moment, he called himself Daddy. Something he knew
better than to do yet he still did it. Monroe had his Daddy instincts kicking
in full force. He hadn’t felt like this in years and couldn’t stop himself.
He needed to remember patience and also the fact that he didn’t know if
she was into the DDlg lifestyle.
He had seen the stuffie in the back of her car, but that didn’t mean
anything. Yes, it made him feel it was more likely she was a Little, but it
wasn't a certainty.
He would never forgive himself if he made her uncomfortable or pushed
his lifestyle on her and she didn't want it. He wouldn't want to do that to
anybody.
Monroe's head quickly moved in his direction and she started to
tremble. That was his cue to get up and walk slowly away from her.
He knew there was a risk that if he got too close, she would panic even
more, and he didn't want that to happen. He didn't know how much more
her body could take. She had to be exhausted physically and mentally and
panicking would only worsen both.
Michael wanted her in a relaxed state. He knew it would take a little bit
of time getting there because she didn't know him, but he was willing to
take all the time she needed. Though, if she wanted to go to the hospital, he
would take her.
It wouldn't be his first choice and he couldn’t really see her doing that.
Monroe was jumpy and scared around him, and he knew something terrible
had happened before she drove down his street. Being in a hospital with
hundreds of strangers would trigger her fear and probably do her no good at
all.
He wanted to tell her that, and that he'd take good care of her, spoil her,
and cherish her, but he didn’t want to overwhelm her.
She already looked overwhelmed - overwhelmed and scared. Michael
didn't know how he was going to calm her down and get her to trust him.
