“Are you okay, Daddy?”
“Yes.” I shifted our bodies so we lay next to one another on the bed, naked and sweaty. “Why?”
“I’ve never felt connected to anybody the way I do to you right now.” She kissed me sweetly. “I wondered if you felt it too.”
“Yes, baby girl. I feel it.”
“Can I take the plug out?”
“No. You can take it out to go to the bathroom, but you’re to put it back in afterward. I’ll remove it before I leave for work tomorrow.”
“Why?”
“If you’re going to question what I told you, why did you ask, kitten?”
“Oh, I was genuinely curious.” She nuzzled under my chin. “What’s the point of wearing a butt plug?”
“One day I’ll claim your ass, and it will feel a whole lot better if I’ve properly stretched you first.”
“Would you ever make me wear one to work?”
“I hadn’t thought of it, but now I am.” I kissed her temple. “I like the idea. Wear it tomorrow. The thought of you having a plug in because I put it there while you’re typing away at your desk makes me rock hard, kitten.”
“Yes, Daddy, but I don’t want to give you any more naughty ideas.”
“You love my ideas, sweetheart.”
“Hey, do you want to get pizza?” She steered us off that topic. “Franco’s has a special this week: one large pizza and two sides of wings. Oh! And I picked up a six-pack of your favorite beer. It’s chilling in my fridge.”
“I’ll order the pizza, you go grab the beer, and we’ll watch that haunted boathouse movie. What was the title?”
“No, it was a haunted tower.Escape from Night Tower?” She handed me pieces of clothing while searching for hers. “Escaping the Haunted Tower?Tower with the Haunted Fire Escape… no.”
“I could name a scary movie better than that.” I finished getting my clothes on, but being around her I always wanted to take them off again.
“Wicked Leather Implements from Hell, starring Dr. Aaron Sexy Scrubs.”
“Naughty little kitten.” I smacked either side of her ass and pulled her against me. “You could play the sweet thing who gets tied down and tortured throughout the entire picture.”
“Are you into role-playing, Daddy?” Her tongue slid across her lip, and it took a lot of restraint not to throw her on the bed.
“I’m into a lot of things, kitten, but if we start discussing them, I’ll want to do them, and then—”
“Then we’ll never leave your room!” She collapsed into a fit of giggles, falling back onto the bed.
“Come on, silly.” I tugged her arms so she got back on her feet. “If you stay in my bed, I’m not going to want you to leave.”
“Is that all I have to do, Aaron?”
There were a lot of possibilities in her question. I stared at her a minute, hating that I didn’t just answer her. I brushed a lock of her hair from her face, buying time. “It’s so much more than just being in my bed.”
“Oh.”
“Do you want to spend the night?” I hadn’t answered her question directly. It was something I needed to work on, but it was so freaking hard to get to the heart of it all. “I work early tomorrow, but you know where my spare key is.”
“Yes, I’d really like to stay with you. I’ll grab my stuff when I get the beer.” Her cute smile broke into a grin. “Hey. You told me to remind you about the reward you promised.”
“Yes, absolutely. Let me get it.” I grabbed a huge sapphire-colored gift bag out of the closet and thrust it into her hands. Fluffy sparkly tissue paper puffed out of the top, and her eyes lit up. “For being such a good girl, and making a doctor’s appointment even when you were scared.”
