I glance up to find Dimitri leaning against the doorway, a smile on his lips. I didn’t even hear him come in.
I say, “Papaiand I are friends.”
“Oh.” She frowns. “I don’t want you to be friends, though. I want you to like him.”
“I do like him.”
“Then you should date him.” Her eyes widen. “You should go on a date withPapai!”
“An excellent idea,” Dimitri says. “Lilith, will you go on a date with me tonight?”
Clara looks back and forth between us, excitement in her eyes.
Finally, I say, “I’d love to, Dimitri.”
Clara snorts. “You called him Dimitri.”
“That’s his name.”
“I know. It just sounds funny.” She hops off the couch. “I’m going to tell Diego!”
She rushes from the room and Dimitri takes her place on the couch.
“She’s going to be hyped up for the rest of the night,” I say.
He lifts my hand, kissing it. “That’s why we have a nanny,minha vida.”
I groan and tug my hand free. “Stop being so charming.”
“Is my date feeling grouchy today?” He leans in, nuzzling the spot on the side of my neck that drives me crazy. “Does she need her Daddy to make her feel better?”
I turn my head and whisper, “You’re playing dirty.”
“Always.” He stands, holding out his hand. “Come with me.”
I let him lead me upstairs, to our room. As the door closes, I spot Clara poking her head out of her bedroom, a huge grin on her face.
“You’re encouraging her,” I say as he walks me to the bed, falling back onto the mattress
“Am I?”
“Yes.”
“How’s your arm feeling?”
“Okay, I guess. Why?”
“Because I want to make sure you can hold on to the headboard while I fuck you.”
Heat rushes right to my core.
“Been thinking about that position for a while?”
He grins. “I think about every position where you’re concerned.”
“Oh?”
He lifts my shirt, baring my stomach and bra-covered breasts.
