Page 31 of Daddy's Little Sunshine

It took three days for Rico to finally contact him about the paperwork. Donovan’s phone rang as he was sitting on the couch, admiring his handiwork on Lainey’s bright pink bottom. Poor thing was going stir crazy locked up in his apartment, and she’d snapped at him one too many times this morning. Not that he could blame her, but he’d finally had enough. When his phone buzzed, he tore his gaze from her beautiful ass long enough to hit the answer button on his screen. “Hello?”

Jimmy’s rough, deep rumble came through the speaker. “Don. It’s Jay. Want to meet for a drink tonight?”

“Sounds good. Same place?”

“Same place, same time. See you there.”

The call ended, and Donovan returned to his quiet contemplation of the little girl quietly sniffling in the corner. It only took about thirty seconds for her to turn her head and ask, “Who was that?”

“Nose in the corner, sunshine. We can talk about it when your ten minutes are up.”

She stomped her foot and huffed but turned back to face the corner. Chuckling at the display, he shook his head. Little brat. His little brat, if everything went the way he hoped it would. The timer on his phone beeped a few minutes later, and he called for her.

Running for the couch, she launched herself into his arms. “I hate the stupid corner, Daddy.”

“Well, don’t have an attitude with your daddy, and you won’t have to spend any more time there, sunshine.”

She sighed heavily, but didn’t argue. He had a hunch she didn’t hate being punished as much as she claimed. If he put his hand between her legs, he was certain he’d find her soaking wet and ready for him.

He was imagining doing exactly that when she spoke up again. “Who was on the phone?”

The question brought him crashing back to reality. “Rico’s man, Jimmy. I think your papers are ready. Meeting him tonight to pick them up.”

“Oh.” Her voice was quiet when she spoke again. “So, this is my last night as Lainey Goldberg?”

His heart broke a little at the sadness in her voice. “Maybe. We still have to figure out where we’re going and how we’re getting there, but we’ll probably only be in the city another day or so.”

Sitting up, she swung a leg over his lap. “Make love to me.”

Happy to oblige, he reached for her shirt. “Your wish is my command, sunshine.”

The shaking of her head made him pause. Her eyes burned with a need so fierce, it nearly stopped his heart. “No. Not ‘sunshine’. Not ‘Daddy’. You and me. Donovan and Lainey. I want to make love as our true selves, at least once before everything changes.”

“Okay.” Cupping the back of her head, he drew her down for a long, lingering kiss. “Lainey,” he whispered against her lips.

She straightened and reached for the hem of the oversized t-shirt she’d stolen from him earlier. Her eyes locked on his, she pulled it up and over her head, leaving her completely bare.

God, she was beautiful. Running his hands up her long torso, he cupped her breasts. Her breath hitched, but she never broke eye contact. He watched her eyes widen slightly, the pupils darkening as he ran his thumbs over her nipples.

The need for her was suddenly more than he could bear. “I want you in my bed.”

Without waiting for her to agree, he pushed off the couch and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her to the bedroom and gently laid her on the bed, spread before him like an offering.

Kneeling between her thighs, he pressed a kiss to her neck. “Lainey,” he murmured, before trailing his lips down over her collarbone, down to one already taut, pebbled nipple. “Sweet, beautiful, sexy, Lainey.” He captured her nipple between his teeth and she gasped, arching her back, inviting him to touch and taste.

“Donovan. Please.” His name was a plea on her lips. She was begging, and he’d barely gotten started.

Just the way he liked it.

He sucked and licked and nibbled, lavishing the tiny bud with pleasure until his little Lainey could do nothing but moan and whine in response. Once he was satisfied he’d done a thorough job, he moved his attention to its twin.

She writhed under him, her body making the pleas her mouth could no longer form. But still he took his time, and once he’d finished with her second breast, he moved slowly down her tummy to the patch of curls between her thighs.

The smell of her arousal nearly unmanned him. But this was important to her, so he wanted to take his time. And, if he was being honest with himself, it was important to him, too. After tonight, everything would change. Even if Rico came through, and he was able to leave with her, there was no guarantee things would be the same. Once they were safe, he’d have no reason to command her obedience the way he did now. So, he would savor this moment, savor the complete surrender she offered him, in case he never got to experience it again.

Pressing her legs open wide with his shoulders, he lowered his head and ran his tongue up along her slit to where her clit peeked out beneath its hood. Lainey’s hands tangled in his hair when he captured the sensitive bud with his mouth and sucked. Her hips bucked against his mouth as he tortured her.

“Daddy, please!”
