Page 125 of Tempted By her Daddies

That was strange. Was she slurring her words? It must be the fatigue.

“Sorry. I meant I don’t have a toothbrush.”

“I know what you meant. It’s all right if your Little slips out. Daddy doesn’t mind. In fact, I would encourage it.”

Was that what had happened? And she hadn’t even realized it?

Wow.

“And you don’t have to worry about anything. Because Daddy has it all sorted,” he said soothingly.

He picked her up, putting her on his hip. It was a strange position to be in. Weirdly, she felt kind of shy so she followed her instinct and buried her face into his chest.

“That’s it, Little one. Just do what feels good to you.” He set her on the counter, and she let out a small protest, reaching for him.

Wait.

What was she doing?

Dear. Lord. She was acting so needy.

“Sorry,” she said, pulling back on that part of her that wanted to cling to him like a baby monkey clinging to its mama.

Salem gently tilted her face back. “There’s no need to be sorry. I like you holding onto me. But I just need to brush your teeth and your hair.”

Her hair?

Urgh, yeah. No doubt it was a wild mess.

He crouched down and drew out a toothbrush still in its packaging.

Oh. They were well prepared.

It made her wonder how many women had slept in this room.

Don’t think like that.

They’re allowed to have pasts.

And it can’t have been anyone of significance since there were no women listed in any of her information packs about them.

Hewould have tried to exploit that angle if he could have.

“Evette keeps all of the bathrooms stocked with the essentials in case we have visitors,” Salem told her. “You’re the first visitor I think we’ve ever had, though. Probably just as well, Alexei would likely scare away anyone who came to stay.”

She could see that.

Relief filled her to know that they didn’t have overnight visitors.

He put some toothpaste on the toothbrush, then held it up. Tamsyn reached out to grab it, but he pushed her hand away.

“I didn’t say you were going to be brushing your teeth, did I?” he told her. “Open up.”

Her eyes grew wide in surprise. “Um, I?—”

Before she could fully question him, he’d pushed the toothbrush into her mouth and was brushing. She opened her mouth out of habit and he continued to brush her teeth.

This was nuts.
