For me. Only me,the thing inside of me growled. It was possessive of her.Greedy.My lips quirked up as I thought about how good she tasted. I was a sick fuck.

The need to taste her, to smell her again, washed over me and hit hard. I looked at how soundly she slept. So damn peacefully.Only because she has no idea of the kind of man she invited into her bed.The kind of man who had been crazy obsessed with her. One who had followed her, overstepped his boundaries, and had breached moments she thought were private to her. One who had done that and more and had no plans whatsoever of stopping.

I wondered if she would mind me rolling her to her back and eating her again. How long would it take for her to wake up as I licked the heaven between her lips? Would I be able to latch on her pretty clit before she woke up? Would she ask me to stop or beg daddy for him to keep licking her?

I brought my fingers up to my nose and breathed in. A smile grew on my face. I could still catch her scent there. Sweet and tangy and so damn addicting.Mine,the voice growled inside my head. My mouth watered for another taste. I dropped my hand and glanced down at her.She is mine. Only mine. I breathed in and exhaled slowly before shutting my eyes. I would have bet big money there was no way id knock out, but I surprised myself as I held on to my woman and actually drifted off to sleep.

It could have been two hours or two minutes, I wasn’t sure. But something stirred me awake. When my eyes opened, I kept my body still, trying to figure out what had woken me. Just then, I felt it. The tips of Mattie’s fingers stroked my chest, moving their way through the slight dusting of dark chest hair. My eyes dipped lower to get a better view of her. Still tucked to my side, her leg tossed over my hip. I watched my shortcake stroke my skin, drawing featherlight circles of all sizes on my flesh. Fuck. Her touch had my dick waking up, getting harder than it hadbeen while I’d rested. Her little doodles might as well have been inked on my skin.

I couldn’t believe it. She was awake and petting me.

My girl was awake and touching me.Willingly.

Her head moved, and when her eyes connected with mine, they widened, and her body stilled. “Sorry,” her whispered apology drew my brows together. “Did I wake you?” The dulcet tone of her voice in the darkness of the room made my dick leak precum.

“No,” I rasped, my voice heavy with sleep. “What’s the matter?” I asked. Ignoring my throbbing hard-on, I didn’t like the fact that she wasn’t sleeping. She needed the rest, and as her daddy, I needed to make sure she got it.

“Nothing.” She half-smiled, but I could see the guarded way her eyes didn’t fully meet mine.

“Baby, talk to me,” I urged in the darkness. My hand rose between us to stroke the apples of her cheek. The thing inside of me wanted to pound on my chest like a fucking animal with the way she leaned into my caress.

“It’s nothing. I just think I’m not used to sleeping with anyone, if that makes sense?”

“Good,” I muttered. It made me a bastard, but I liked the hint of inexperience. I liked the idea of her learning and exploring things with me and only me. “But you’re gonna have to get used to this with me. I don’t think I will be able to sleep without you now.

“Is that right?” Her lips twitched, and this time, the smile that graced her face reached her eyes. The cutest little lines formed at the edges of her beautiful blue gaze.

“Very, shortcake.” My tongue swiped my lower lip as my eyes dropped to her mouth.

“You sound pretty sure of yourself,” she sassed, and I fucking loved it. It was one of the many things I had missed since I stupidly put space between us.

What the hell had I been thinking?Had I actually thought I could avoid finding myself in her bed? That I wouldn’t find a way to be here and stay here until my last breath? I didn’t miss the way her eyes glittered teasingly.

“You have no idea of just how sure I am about you and me and us, sweetness,” I drawled slowly before surprising her.

I flipped her so she could straddle me. I loved the way her eyes flashed with heat. Mattie leaned over me, her dark hair cascaded around us, blocking everything else from view and making it so it felt like we were the only two people left on Earth.

“You’re hard,” she whispered adorably, as if I wouldn’t have noticed that. “Again.”

“I told you I am always like that when I’m around you. Fuck, Mattie, I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I’m like this even when you’re not.” She bit down on that puffy, pretty bottom lip of hers.

“Please,” she said softly, and my dick jerked. Almost like the fucking monster was trying to get closer to her.

“Please what, shortcake?” The term of endearment sounded scratchy in my ears.

“Please let me make you feel good,” she whispered so sweetly I had no idea how the hell I would tell her no.Then don’t,the animal inside me roared. I wanted to let him take over, to let her do whatever she fucking wanted. But I wanted her to know I wanted more than sex.

“Mattie,” I groaned, pressing my lips to her temple, “You have no idea.” I swallowed, my Adam’s apple bobbing heavily. “You have no idea just how good you make me feel. You made me come in my pants like some teenager with a hair trigger. By eating you,” I confessed. Losing my load the way I had had feltcrazy. It was like my entire body had been too amped up and needed a release. One that had made me see spots I’d come so hard.

“But you’re hard,” she repeated. Her eyes searched mine, and I knew she was going to say something I wasn’t going to like before she said it. “Do you not want me to touch you?” The vulnerability was clear in her voice. An animalistic sound escaped from me, and my hands dug into her hair.

“How could you even think that?” My voice was rougher than I intended.

“But—”

“No buts.” I pressed the pads of my fingers against her lips.

My eyes dropped to that mouth. That pouty, full-lipped mouth. Fuck, that mouth was perfect. I licked my own lips as I watched my fingers pull down on her bottom lip and back on it. Mattie’s lips parted, and before either of us knew what we were doing, she pulled my thumb between her lips and sucked. The feeling shot straight through me, making my cock throb and ache for so much more. The shred of control, of decency, started to snap.
