Page 117 of Broken Daddy
He was surprised when she just gave him a sad smile.
What was she thinking?
He’d noticed that she hadn’t smiled once since she’d woken up. But that was to be expected. Not to mention it was likely uncomfortable with the bandage on her face.
But Devi always radiated sunshine and happiness.
He hoped that came back soon.
“All right,” she said.
“Tell me what happened,” he said. “We don’t have to tell the cops everything, it doesn’t have to go out of this room. But I need to know and you need to tell someone.”
He could see the guilt inside her. Wanted to help ease it.
“Give it to me, baby girl, and let me decide what to do.”
He hadno idea how much she needed to give him this.
It was eating her up inside.
And she did trust him not to tell anyone. She trusted him to take care of her physically.
Emotionally, she wasn’t so sure.
She was certain he was going to break her heart. But then, wouldn’t that be her own fault? For falling for a man who was in love with another woman.
Oh God, she’d done that, hadn’t she?
She’d fallen in love with a man who would never be hers. It wasn’t his fault, though. And while he was here, she might as well soak up his care and attention.
It wasn’t going to make anything hurt more once he left.
She would be in a huge amount of pain either way.
At least this way, she’d have experienced some care in her life. Some time with a man who treated her with kindness.
Maybe even a Daddy?
Who knew? Maybe now she’d be able to find a man one day. Perhaps this was a pivotal moment that would change her life.
Or leave her heartbroken and ensure that no other man added up.
Yeah, it could really go either way.
She thought through everything that had happened. “You promise it won’t leave this room?”
“I promise.”
“I think I heard you say something as I fell asleep last night,” she said to him. She had to get this out before she told him what happened. “I thought you called yourself Daddy.”
“You heard that?”
“I wasn’t meant to?”
“You gave control to me easily. Didn’t flinch when I talked about a safeword. And you asked for your toy squirrel. Unfortunately, the cops are at your trailer and won’t give us access so we haven’t been able to grab it yet.”
Oh, she wished she had Coco.
