She reached for his hand, which pleased him, and he pulled her down the hallway to the bedroom.

“How about you use the bathroom if you need to and brush your teeth?” he said as he closed the curtains to make the room dark enough for them to sleep.

“My teeth?” she asked.

He glanced over at her when he turned the lamp on the bedside table to be able to see without brightening the room.

“Because I’m going to be kissing you.”

He smiled gently when she stood frozen. “Nothing is going to happen until you’re ready for it. Now, go.”

She turned and walked into the bathroom, and closed the door. While she did that, he grabbed one of his t-shirts for her, undressed, and pulled on some shorts. He usually always slept naked, but he needed to remind himself she was very innocent and he had to slow down until he got a cue from her that she was ready to take the next step.

She walked out of the bathroom. Her eyes ran over him, and then a torrid blush covered her face and chest when she realized he was watching her.

He grinned. “Come here, Sweetheart.”

She stood docilely in front of him. He wanted to laugh at the fact that she thought she wasn’t a submissive. She was submissive down to her bones, but she’d never had a chance to learn that side of her personality because she’d always taken care of everyone else. Now, she could let her submissive side out because he was there to train and take care of her.

Caden set the shirt he held on the mattress before reaching for hers. Her hands immediately gripped his to prevent them from moving.

“Little sub, let go of my hands.”

If anything, she tightened her grip.

“I’m just going to put you in one of my shirts so you’re comfortable sleeping.”

“But…”

“This is one of those times I’m asking you to trust me. Can you do that for me, Sweetheart?”

She looked up at him and must have seen something because her hands released his.

“Good girl.”

He swept the shirt off her and threw it on the chair. She tensed but didn’t say anything when he unsnapped her bra and put it with the shirt.

“I’m so proud of you,” he said as he pulled on his shirt. He smiled when he took a step back. She could wear it like a dress, it was so big on her.

Next, he pulled off her shoes, socks, and jeans. He really wanted to take her panties off, but he didn’t want to push her anymore then, and the thought of her naked cunt against him would drive him crazy. Oh, he knew it would only take one tug from him for them to disintegrate, but it helped, nonetheless.

He lifted the blanket. “Hop in. I’ll be right back.”

“Are we going to sleep together?” she asked.

“Yes. From now on, we won’t spend a night away from each other. Are you good with that?”

She nodded and climbed onto the mattress. He tucked her in. “I’ll be right back.”

He walked into the bathroom, aware that her eyes followed him. After taking a piss and brushing his teeth, he walked out of the bathroom and over to the bed, sliding in next to her.

He pulled her into his arms and wrapped an arm around her back. Her head fit perfectly in the notch of his shoulder, and one of her legs was pressed against his.

He tipped her head up with a finger under her chin. “Now, I get a kiss.”

Caden watched her expression carefully as their lips met. He never understood it when men talked about their first kiss and how every cell in their body heated and the world around them receded when they met “the one.”

Now, he knew what they were talking about. He didn’t know if he’d be able to take his attention off Bella now, even if the place was on fire.
