Page 10 of All in April

It’s like we gave her a birthday present all over again the way her face lights up. “You mean, you want to cuddle with me and stuff.”

My cheeks heat up as she says it because it’s so fucking cute and it’s exactly what I want. I cross my arms and clear my throat. “Yeah. So you gotta pick.”

“Are you going to rotate?”

“Huh?” Jack asks her.

“Are you three going to do a scheduled night with me? Like tonight is someone’s and the next night is someone else’s. But I still get Sundays off?”

“Yep,” I grit out.

She contemplates a choice, stroking her chin carefully and dramatically as if she knows she’s teasing us. We’re like dogs waiting for a treat.

“I want Brahn tonight. Jack tomorrow. And Wolfie the next.”

The two men behind me groan and I smile the biggest grin I have in years. “You got it, cupcake.”

By the time bedtime rolls around, I snag my pillow, red flannel blanket, and history book with a little book light so I don’t bother her, then head to her room. With a small tap on the door, I wait until I hear, “Come in.”

She’s sitting on her bed in a purple nightgown that makes my dick hard just looking at her. “Oh, you brought stuff… and you’re wearing…”

Her eyes scan my body and I look down. “Just my usual.”

“Tighty whities, huh?”

“They’re comfortable,” I tell her, then toss my blanket over both of us as she slips under the sheets and I get in next to her. I never thought about what kind of underwear she may like. “Do you want me to wear something else?”

She rolls over and places her hand on my bare chest, sending sparks of electricity straight to my heart. “No. I think it’s cute.”

“Cute?”

“Yeah. I like it.” She giggles when I press my lips to her nose and the sound makes my skin tingle. “How do you want me?”

“I want you to relax, my girl. Just like this, on my chest. Snuggle up. I get hot, though. I’m going to read while you lay on me.”

“You got it, Brahn.”

Something inside me makes me warm up to her even more. I snare an arm around her waist and hoist her up so her face is tucked into the side of my neck. Then, I press my lips to her head and murmur, “Will you call me Daddy Brahn?”

The hairs on my chest flutter as she gasps. “Okay, Daddy Brahn.”

My cock surges underneath the covers, but I try to hold off on acting on anything. I want to enjoy my girl right now in a relaxed state. Just enjoy having her soft skin coat my body as she drifts off to sleep.

And as I pick up my book, turn off the lamp, then read by my little light, she does. But I give her forehead a kiss every time I turn the page.

APRIL

Life is really good in the lumberjack house. That’s what I call it. In fact…

It feels like home.

The guys have really taken to my cooking and give me all the compliments. We have family dinner at night, which is something I never had before, but decided it was important enough to host without exception. Everyone goes around and airs their latest grievance, but then follows it with some gratitude.

“Wolf whistling that fucking song over and over again,” Jack says, then takes a hearty bite of my roast.

“Okay, but now you have to say something nice,” I remind him.
