Page 39 of Daddy's Desire

Her breath snagged in her throat and then burst from her lungs as she slowly came down from something she’d never be able to explain, and have it sound like how she felt. It was too much, and she felt a little shaky.

His breathing had slowed, but he kept his face tucked against her neck. Her arms wrapped around him.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

He finally raised his head and smiled down at her. “Oh,Sweetheart, I’m more than okay. I’ve never felt that degree of pleasure in my life.”

Her eyes widened. “Really?”

Ronin bent and kissed her. “Really. How are you doing?”

She felt herself blush again and thought about it a moment. “Good. Tired and still a bit shaky, and my body is still humming from … what we just did.” She felt her face grow hot with embarrassment.

He smiled gently down at her. “That means I did my job in pleasuring you.”

He started to pull out of her, which made her flinch from the friction.

“I’m sorry, Sweetheart. Let me start the bathtub. It will fit both of us very easily,” he said.

She lay there half-dozing when he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. The tension and soreness immediately eased as the water surrounded them, so she relaxed against his chest.

“This feels good, doesn’t it?” he murmured against the top of her head.

“Mmmm, yes. It’s wonderful,” she told him and closed her eyes.

They were both silent as the minutes passed, just being together was enough. She drifted between being awake and asleep. It was a feeling of peace she wanted to experience again and again.

When the water started to cool, he pulled the plug. He sat her up, stood, and wrapped a towel around his waist. “Let me get you out before you prune.”

He easily lifted her from the bathtub and stood her on thebathmat. He then used a towel to go over every inch of her body, drying and leaving kisses in places.

“Your hair is wet.” He handed her a robe. “Put this on.”

“It won’t take long to dry it. It’s just the ends.”

He stood behind her with his hands on her shoulders. Staring at him this way made their height difference more noticeable.

“Is this your real hair color?” he asked as he fingered some of the strands.

She nodded and made a face. “Yes. I didn’t like the blonde.”

“This suits you better,” he told her.

She nodded.

“Are you hungry?” he asked.

She nodded. She suddenly felt ravenous.

“Why don’t you order something while I take care of the bath? I need to callthe office.”

“I can get us some food.”

He stopped her from leaving the bathroom. “Say it,” he demanded.

She was lost and stared at their reflections in the mirror. “Say what?”

“Call me Daddy. Do you feel okay calling me that?” Ronin asked.
