Page 19 of Daddy's Little Surprise

“It can be a year from now that you tell me, I don’t care. I just want a chance with you. I want to be the father to your children. I know you’re pregnant with another man’s baby, but I don’t care. I have this connection with you, and I’m going to treat her or him like they were my flesh and blood.”

Tears formed as he continued to talk.

“I want to cherish both of you for the rest of our lives.”

“Stop,” she whimpered.

“I’ll stop for now, but know everything I said is true. I don’t say things unless I mean them.”

Daddy wrapped his arms around her and pulled her naked body against his. She relaxed into his embrace and took several deep breaths.

“Everything is going to be okay.”

Rainey hoped he was right.

CHAPTER SEVEN

MARCO

Marco placed some slices of strawberries and watermelon into a bowl before putting it on the tray. He was making Rainey breakfast in bed. She was currently

asleep, snuggled up to her stuffed animal, Tootsie, and his pillow.

He didn’t want to leave her this morning, but he needed to make her breakfast. They had both slept in, Rainey snuggled up to his side. He loved the feeling of her against him, something he could get used to.

That brought his mind back to last night.

They’d had sex in the kitchen. He couldn’t help but look over at the slim counter and replay it in his head. The boys had laughed at him when he was building it, but he didn’t care. Marco knew it was going to come in handy one day, and it did.

Sighing, he pulled the French toast out of the pan and onto her plate. It was something light, so hopefully, she wouldbe able to eat it and keep it down. He placed a bottle of chocolate milk on the tray and started to cut up the French toast.

Dane whined, and Marco looked down at him.

“I know, buddy,” he gently said. “I know you want to see Rainey, but you can’t right now.”

He knew exactly what Marco was saying because he started to whine more. Marco bent down and started to pet him.

“After I finish feeding her, you can come in and get snuggles from her.”

Marco had a feeling he was starting to lose Dane to Rainey, but Marco couldn’t be mad. He was completely infatuated, obsessed, and in love with Rainey himself.

“I can’t believe I said that last night,” he whispered as he got up.

He told Rainey he loved her. He didn’t regret telling her because it was the truth, but it was too early. They hadn’t known each other for a long time, but he knew.

She was the one.

Marco took the tray of food and started walking toward their room. Dane followed the whole way.

“Stay,” Marco commanded as he opened the door.

He quietly walked in and shut the door before heading toward the bed. Placing the tray on the dresser, he gently sat next to Rainey and ran his hands through her hair.

So soft and silky.

“Good morning, sleepy head.”

She moaned and pushed her head into his hand. A smilespread across his face as he continued to run his hands through her hair.
