His eyes soften, but he doesn’t relent. “I think someone was watching me.” Rage flares brightly in his eyes as they move from my face to slowly surveil the area around us.
“Any idea who?” I try to shake my head, but his iron grip keeps me in place.
Brushing his hand up my jaw into my hair, he pulls me forward. Placing a comforting kiss on my head, he assures me, “You’re safe, baby doll. Daddy will take care of everything.” And I believe him. How can I not when he’s adhered to every promise he’s made me?
CHAPTER 12
Galen
“Daddy?” Fuck, I’ll never tire of the sound of her throaty little whine.
“Sshhh, baby doll, Daddy just needs to fill you up.” For a week now, I’ve been fucking her to sleep every night as I hunt down the asshole who scared the shit out of her that first day I picked her up. Since then, she’s been doing everything online.
“Sooooo big.” Her eyes struggle to open as I slide deeper into her tight cunt.
“Back to sleep, baby. Daddy will take care of you.” She yawns and nods her head, quickly following orders. I discovered a few nights ago that she’s a heavy sleeper, and there’s something addicting about fucking her while she’s out cold.
Sometimes, like tonight, she’ll wake up, and other times, she doesn’t even notice when I rock in and out of her tight sheath until she wakes up in the morning to more cum leaking from her body.
Lying on her side, I push her leg up, opening her to me as I gently glide my dick inside her to the hilt. Groaning as her body constricts around my aching dick, I fight the instinct to pound her the way she likes.
Soaked as I withdraw, I push back in until I have nowhere else to go. She’s so fucking tiny underneath me, like my perfect doll, and I can’t get enough.
Tilting her shoulder back to get at her tits, I bend over and suck a pebbled bud into my mouth as I rock in and out. Her body lights up like I knew it would, and soon, her orgasm springs to the surface.
Gripping her hips, I plunge repeatedly, deep dicking my wife until my own release races up my spine, and I can’t hold back from spurting thick rope after rope deep inside her core. Biting down on her tit, I ride the wave of euphoria until I’m depleted and collapse behind her. Pulling her into my body, I spend the night holding her as tight to me as I can.
Brushing Piper’s hair as she talks through the plot of a story she intends to write, I feel pride expanding my heart. This woman is so full of life. She’s smart, witty, and far more creative than I imagined.
“Galen?” Her head tilts back to look at me.
“Sorry, baby, I was daydreaming.” Dropping a kiss on her lips, I lick across the seam so she knows exactly what I was thinking about. “What did you ask me?”
Rolling her eyes, she sighs before repeating her question. “I was asking if you think I should go with a rag-tag pack of shifters from different species who find their fated mates in a small town or if I should stay traditional and away from anything paranormal?” The hope in her eyes shows me the answer I need to give.
“Shifters would be cool.” Her bright smile brings me to my knees, literally. “Christ, the way you own me, Piper. You know how much I love you, right?” Cupping her cheeks in my large palms, she cuddles into them as I drag her closer.
Wrapping her arms around my neck, she meets my kiss with a soft one of her own. “Of course, I know. You tell me all the time, and I feel it in every touch.”
“Good.” I return to my feet and spin her around to finish braiding her hair. “Because I have to tell you something.” Our eyes meet in the mirror, and I hate how she transitions straight to fear.
“What?”
“I know who’s been following you.” And it fucking enrages me to the point that I’ve had to stop myself from committing murder since getting the alert on my phone early this morning.
She takes in a deep breath before asking who.
“Marcus.” I spit his name like the curse it is.
“But…why?” Fastening her hair at the ends, I guide her to stand before me.
“I wish you could see and understand what every breathing male on earth does when it comes to you, baby.”
“I don’t…I don’t understand.” I fucking hope she never loses this innocence; it might actually kill me.
“I know you don’t, doll, and I’m fucking glad.” She pouts, and I want to suck on her luscious lips. “You just need to know I will always take care of any threats against you, okay? After today, you can go back to school if you want, or you can continue what we’ve been doing the last week. Whatever you want.” Please want to stay home. I can no longer imagine being separated from her for any length of time.
“What are you going to do?” Resting her head against my chest, she circles my waist with her arms, holding onto me.
