Page 218 of Daddy, Sir

As soon as he said it, she shook her head. “No. Don’t be sorry. I’m so proud of you for what you did. I was proud of you every single day. I never stopped thinking about you, though. I never stopped loving you.”

He pressed his face into her stomach, closing his eyes tightly as he held on to her with what felt like dear life. “I don’t ever want to live another day without you. You’re it for me, baby. You’ve always been it. Tell me you feel the same.”

She swallowed heavily and nodded. When he tipped his head back to look up at her, she was staring down at him with a watery smile. “I feel the same, Daddy. You’ve always been it for me.”

Pulling away from her, Greyson lowered himself to the mattress, dragging her on top of him. As soon as they were down, he buried his fingers in her wet hair and kissed her. She didn’t hesitate to return the kiss, her body pressed against his as they explored each other’s mouths.

She moaned, and his cock throbbed against her. It had been so long since he’d had sex, there was no way he would last long, especially with Lily. He wanted to make it good for her, though. Because once they did this, there would be no going back. It would seal their relationship, and he would vow to be the best partner and Daddy she could ever want.

Without breaking their embrace, he reached down and opened her towel, tossing it to the side so she was completely naked for him.

“I’m different than I used to be,” she said warily against his lips. “I’m a lot older and… wider.”

Frowning, he glared at her as he cupped her face so she was forced to look at him. “You’re fucking perfect. Better than I remember. If I ever hear you talk about yourself in anything less than a positive way, you’ll find yourself with a very sore bottom. Understand?”

“Yes, Daddy,” she whispered.

He stared at her for another moment before giving her a sharp nod and rolling them both over so she was on her back. “You’re stunning, baby. So soft and lush. Jesus Christ, I’m like an overly horny teenager all over again when I look at you.”

That made her giggle, and he was glad. The last thing he wanted was for her to be in her head, worrying about her gorgeous body. In a way, he understood. He was older, too. Less muscular, and his stomach wasn’t quite as hard as it once was. But if she could only see what he did, she would understand how perfect she was.

“I want to start a life with you, baby. Not next month or next week. Today. Right now. You and me. We can take our time getting to know each other again, but I already know you’re the woman I’m going to marry and spend the rest of my life with. I don’t want to spend another day apart from you.”

She stared up at him, her lip tugged between her teeth, her eyes searching. “I want that, too,” she replied.

“I still have my house, and I’ll keep it for the time being, but I don’t want to live there. I want to be here. With you,” he admitted.

He knew he was putting a lot on her all at once, but he needed to be honest. They had missed out on too much time.

“Are you sure?” she asked. “I mean, I can move in with you if you want.”

“Do you like your house, baby?”

Without hesitation, she nodded. “Yes. I love it.”

“Then we’re going to live here. I’m going to spend my life making you the happiest woman alive.”

Tears brimmed her eyes as she clung to him, both of them breathing heavily.

“You have too many clothes on,” she finally said.

Chuckling, he tugged his shirt over his head while, at the same time, she reached for his belt with trembling fingers.

“You’re so hot,” she whispered as her eyes roamed over his chest.

“Glad you think so, babygirl. Now, let me explore your beautiful body for a bit while you lie there and enjoy it.”

Chapter Ten

Lily

His mouth was teasing her, hot and wet and so delicious. Goosebumps rose over her flesh as she watched him worship her body, every stretch mark, scar, and blemish. She couldn’t catch her breath, her core clenching in need of attention.

As he bit down on one of her nipples, she cried out and threw her head back. “Oh, God. Greyson.”

“I know, babygirl. It’s been too fucking long. We’ve missed out on so much. I’m going to spend a long time making it all up to you.”

If this was his idea of making it up to her, she was totally on board. They’d talked about so much tonight. There were things she still needed to let sink in, but the one thing she knew without a single doubt was that Greyson was her man. The one who she was meant to spend the rest of her life with. And she could hardly wait for that to start.
