We’d opened the window a smidgen, so every now and then, we got a whiff of supper cooking from inside. He had rummaged through his outdoor freezer for grouse soup, and we’d have fresh bread too. But I wasn’t ready to leave the water or his lap yet. My Daddy’s lap. I was plastered to him. Arms around his shoulders, legs caging him in, my face buried against his neck.
“You’re my Daddy,” I mumbled against his skin.
He hummed and pressed a kiss to my shoulder. “All yours. My beautiful boy.” He soaked the washcloth again, then returned it to my upper back. “I’m reveling too. It’s difficult to process, isn’t it?”
I nodded. Never in a million years had I dared to believe this could actually happen.
“Let me look at you.” He kissed my cheek and cupped the other in his hand, and I eased back and smiled sleepily. He smiled back and rested our foreheads together. “You made a comment when we got in—that this is the perfect aftercare. But is there anything else you’d like? We went at it fairly hard out there.”
I shook my head and slid my hands down his chest. “Just this. Being close to you. Touching and kissing and taking it easy.” I felt so pampered. He’d checked every little scrape, not that I had many of them. A couple on my face and some around my hips and butt. “When we add fear and more pain to that kind of play, maybe I’ll need something else. I don’t know. I haven’t been able to play as hard as I’ve wanted with takedowns yet.”
It wasn’t easy when you struggled to find partners you could trust.
“So if we use today to compare with your fantasy scenario, in terms of pain, fear, and mindfucks… On a scale from one to ten.”
Oh. Hmm. I tapped my chin and thought about it.
I mean, today hadn’t scared me one bit, and I knew Wade had gone easy on me. The focus had been on getting us together. He’d said he’d tested the waters a little. And my mindfuck had stemmed from the uncertainties. Would we or wouldn’t we? Was this happening or not? Were my dreams coming true?
I reached for my cocoa over his shoulder and took a big gulp, and I licked my lips.
“Today was a ten because we got together—and because your cock is pure magic,” I said frankly. He chuckled at that. “But compared to the pain and fear I hope we’ll get to together in a takedown in the future…? Maybe a four and a half. Mostly because I want to fight back as hard as I can, and I couldn’t do that today.”
“It was too soon to go harder,” he agreed.
“And impossible,” I said. “Like a starving man declining food. You just don’t do that.”
He grinned faintly and captured my mouth with his in a slow kiss.
Because we did that now. We kissed and stuff!
A burst of joy surged through me, and I locked my arms around his neck again.
He was the best kisser in the universe. He had to be! One kiss, and all I could think of was going further. Like, why weren’t we fucking right now? He’d even told me not to touch his cock—no distractions right now, little one—and that was so unfair, ’cause he touched me however he wanted.
“I wanna do more stuff, Daddy,” I whispered into the kiss.
He shivered and hummed. “Call me that again.”
I smiled and flicked the tip of my tongue against his upper lip. “Daddy…”
“Mmm, best sound ever.” He sighed contentedly. “But no more funny business today. You said it hurt when I used a finger just ten minutes ago. You need to recover.”
Blah!
Pish!
Boo!
“You know what we should do instead?” he murmured. “Talk about your birthday.”
I inched back and eyed him seriously. “There better be birthday sex.”
He rumbled a low laugh and nipped at my nose. Clown!
“Luckily for you, I won’t be able to stay away from your perfect little bottom,” he promised. I beamed. That was good news! “If you want, we can skip the presents and have sex all day long.”
Whoa.
My mouth popped open, and I didn’t know what to say.
Other than, he was so damn sexy when he had that wolfish, sadistic, amused look in his eyes.
I placed my hands on his cheeks and spoke as seriously as I could. “Daddy, you can give me presents while we do the grown-up stuff.”
My goodness, I was gonna have to start a list of my favorite Daddy expressions. When he had a lot of happiness in his eyes and he was humoring me with sexy little grins, I felt like it should be at the top of that list. Like right now.
He was happy, and it made my year.
“As great as that sounds…” He kissed me briefly. “I was actually thinking we could take a little trip tomorrow. Do you remember where you and Chris landed, about an hour south of here?”
