Page 22 of Daddy's Sinful Baby Girl

“Come here, Baby.”

With a cry, she dove into his arms. He let her cry it out, and then wiped her face and helped her blow her nose. The funny thing was, it all felt so natural.

“How are you feeling?” Simon asked.

“Tired,” she murmured against his chest.

“Then let’s get you home, and we’ll take a nap.”

She looked up at him. “You still want me?”

He smiled. “Baby, you can’t get rid of me.”

“But I was stupid.”

“That’s not true. This is all new to us, and we’re both going to make mistakes. But we’ll overcome everything. The fact that I was there to help you, feels like destiny. I’ve been looking for you for a long time. I’m not going to let you go.”

She sniffed and nodded.

“Good girl. Let’s get home,” he said and set her on her feet before grabbing her bags in one hand and hers in his other. “Tell me if you get too tired to walk.”

Casey nodded and clung to his hand as they walked across the parking lot toward a large black car. He unlocked it, opened the passenger-side door, and lifted her in, even putting on her seat belt. She waited and watched as he walked around the front of the SUV and got in. She couldn’t take her eyes off him. Everything about him was beautiful and masculine. He was very large, but it didn’t bother her. She just felt safer.

Within thirty minutes, they were turning into a street and then under a huge building.

“You live here?”

Simon glanced at her after he parked. “Yes, for now, but we’ll look for a house soon.”

“Oh, I don’t need a house. As long as I’m with you, I’m good.”

Simon got out, walked over to her side, and opened the door. Instead of helping her out he cupped her face.

“I’m glad you feel that way, Baby. Now, if you don’t have any objections, I’m going to kiss you.”

She reached up and gripped his wrists. “No, I don’t object.” In fact, she had wanted him to kiss her for hours now.

The first touch of their lips made her whole body tingle. He kept his kisses soft and easy.

When he continued, she pressed closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Chapter Nine

He had no idea how long they stood there kissing, but when he lifted his head and she finally focused, she was wrapped around him like an octopus. Her legs were around his hips, and herarms werearound his neckexactly where he wanted them.

“Oh, my God. I’m so sorry.”

She tried to wiggle to get down, but he didn’t let her go.

“Simon, I’ve got to be heavy.”

He snorted. “Baby, my gym bag weighs more than you.”

They stood silently gazing at each other. The sound of a car door shutting pulled them from their daze.

“Let’s get you up to the apartment,” he said. He grabbed her bags and walked toward the elevator.

“Simon,” she whispered frantically. “You can’t carry me all the way there.”
