With trembling fingers, Lulu tore into the wrapping paper, her breath catching as a soft, fluffy bundle emerged. It was a Christmas tree decoration, whittled from wood, beautifully intricate, with her name and Ben’s etched into it.

“Oh wow,” she marveled. “That’s gorgeous!”

But as she lifted the decoration fully from the paper, something else caught the light. it was attached to the decoration with a pink ribbon, glinting brightly under the Christmas lights.

Lulu's heart stopped as she realized what it was—a ring, delicate and beautiful, with a sparkling diamond at its center.

The world around her seemed to go still and quiet as Ben dropped to one knee before her, his eyes shining with love and hope. "Lulu, my darling little girl, you've brought more joy and light into my life than I ever thought possible. I can't imagine spending another day without you by my side." He took a deep, shaky breath, his voice thick with emotion. "Will you marry me?"

For a moment, Lulu couldn't speak, her heart too full to form words. But as she looked into Ben's eyes, seeing the depth of his love and commitment reflected there, she knew there was only one answer she could give.

"Yes," she whispered, her voice trembling with happiness. "Yes, Ben, yes!"

As they broke apart, Lulu suddenly became aware of the cheers and applause surrounding them. The guests and staff of Littlecreek Ranch had gathered around, their faces alight with joy as they celebrated the couple's announcement.

Ben slipped the ring onto her finger, his own hand shaking with joy and relief. Lulu threw her arms around his neck, laughing and crying all at once as he lifted her off her feet and spun her around.

As he set her back down, Chuck approached, his usually stern face split wide with a grin. "Congratulations, you two," he said gruffly, pulling them both into a bear hug. "I couldn't be happier for you."

Zoey was next, her eyes shining with tears of joy as she embraced Lulu tightly. "I just knew you two were meant to be," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I'm so happy I get to be a part of your special day."

As the celebrations continued around them, Lulu leaned into Ben's embrace, her heart overflowing with love and gratitude. She knew that whatever challenges the future might bring, they would face them together—not just as Daddy and Little, but as partners in every sense of the word. With Ben by her side and the love and support of their incredible community surrounding them, anything was possible.

Epilogue

ONE YEAR LATER

Pale sunlight filtered through the lace curtains of the bedroom window, casting intricate shadows on the wall. Lulu stretched languidly beneath the cozy quilt, savoring the warmth of Ben's arms around her. She blinked slowly, taking in the rustic charm of their new home—the exposed wooden beams, the antique furnishings she'd lovingly selected, the photographs of their friends and family adorning the walls.

Ben stirred beside her, his beard tickling her cheek as he nuzzled closer. "Merry Christmas, babygirl," he murmured, his voice still rough with sleep.

Lulu giggled, her heart fluttering at the endearment. "Merry Christmas, Daddy," she whispered back, snuggling deeper into his embrace.

For a moment they lay there in contented silence, listening to the soft sounds of the ranch coming to life outside their window. Lulu's mind drifted to the day ahead—the laughter and chatter of their guests, the twinkling lights and glittering ornaments, the aroma of gingerbread and Texan pines. Their first Christmas in their new home, the sanctuary they'd built together.

As they lay intertwined, basking in the glow of their love, Lulu felt a surge of desire bubble up within her. The way Ben's strong arms enveloped her, the rugged warmth of his body pressed against hers, stirred something primal in her soul. She shifted slightly, her gaze meeting Ben's crystal-blue eyes filled with adoration and an unmistakable hunger that mirrored her own.

"Daddy," she whispered, her voice soft and laden with need.

Ben's lips curled into a knowing smile as he sensed the change in the air between them. With a tender touch, he caressed her cheek, his fingers trailing down to her collarbone, igniting a trail of fire along her skin.

"Lulu," he murmured, his voice low and gravelly. "I can see the fire in your eyes, babygirl. Tell me what you want. Let me make this Christmas one to remember."

A shiver of anticipation coursed through Lulu as she leaned in closer, capturing his lips in a heated kiss that spoke volumes of her desire.

“I want . . . a special Christmas kiss, Daddy.”

He arched an eyebrow, clearly knowingexactlywhat she wanted.

Chuckling softly, Ben's eyes sparkled with mischief as he leaned in to grant her request. His lips captured hers in a searing kiss that melted any lingering hint of sleepiness. Lulu's heart raced with excitement as his hands roamed over her body, sending delicious tingles along her skin.

Sensing her eagerness, Ben's touch grew bolder, trailing down the curve of her waist and slipping under the hem of her nightshirt. Lulu gasped softly as his fingers danced along her thigh, teasing and tempting her with feather-light strokes. His warm breath brushed against her ear as he whispered, "You're so beautiful, babygirl."

A thrill shot through Lulu at his words, igniting a fierce desire within her. Her fingers tangled in his tousled hair, craving more of his intoxicating touch. With a hunger born of love and passion, she guided him lower until his mouth found the sensitive folds of her sex.

Ben kissed her hungrily, thoughtfully. It was like poetry. They’d spent so many hours in this room together, getting to know one another’s bodies, learning just how the other one liked it. Ben was a Master of Lulu’s pleasure. He kissed and licked and fondled like a magician performing a great spell, and she came, and she came, and she came, until both of them were breathless, slick with sweat and smiles.

But it wasn’t over yet. Ben was hard, ready to explode like a Christmas cracker, and when he was sure that she was ready for him, he pinned her down to the mattress with a growl, taking her exactly as he wanted her, deep and rough and relentless, until they both came together with a loud moan of release.
