He adjusted them until he was pressed up to her back and had an arm around her waist.

“How’s this?”

“I … it’s good.”

He kissed the back of her head. “Good. Go to sleep. We’ll nap for a few hours and then get up and eat. I also want to check out your stitches to make sure everything is okay.”

She nodded again and then yawned. He listened to her breathing even out and then deepened before he stuck his nose in her hair and inhaled. Her scent was something he’d noticed at the very beginning. It was a faint citrus mixed with vanilla. Every time he got close to her, saliva pooled in his mouth with the urge to taste her.

Fuck, once he got his head between her legs and his lips on her cunt, he couldn’t see himself ever wanting to stop.

His hard-on was throbbing thinking about it. It took a while for him to relax and finally sleep.

Chapter Ten

Casey was sitting on the floor of Aleena’s daddy’s office with a few of the littles, playing a card game. She tried to keep her attention to what she was doing, but the thought that Simon didn’t really want her filled her head.

“Hey, what’s up with you? You’ve hardly talked,” Riley asked.

Casey set her cards down. “Can I ask you guys a question?”

“Always. There’s nothing you can’t ask us,” Kinley said.

“Well, I’ve been living with Simon for about a week, and he hasn’t made any move to touch me. Did your daddies do that? Wait for a while after meeting you to … you know?” Casey asked.

They all shook their heads.

“Mine was pretty horny from the beginning,” Brylee said.

The other girls said the same thing.

Casey wiped a tear from her cheek. “He sleeps beside me at night, but he barely even kisses me like he did before. I don’t know what to do.”

The girls crowded in and all of them patted her and talked. It was so much that Casey couldn’t understand any of them.

“Guys, wait,” Sienna snapped. “One at a time.”

“I’ll go first,” Riley said.

“No, you won’t,” Sienna snapped. “You’ll just confuse her.”

“You bitch,” Riley retorted. Then, the two were arguing.

They had done this a few times over the last week and she would have smiled if she wasn’t so heartbroken.

Brylee squeezed her hand. “Ask him.”

“Oh God, no, I couldn’t. I know what he’ll say, and if it was face-to-face, I’d break down in front of him. I don’t want todo that. It will make him feel guilty.”

“What if there’s a good reason?” Aleena asked.

“He gets this look in his eyes when he thinks I’m not looking.”

“Can you describe it?” Riley asked.

Casey thought about it for a second. “The closest word I can use is disappointment.”

All five girls had tears in their eyes.
