“It’s just . . . when you call me good girl it makes my head spin. I like it.”
“I know you like it,” he said huskily, running a finger along her lips. “That’s why I say it.”
“You don’t say it because I’m a good girl?”
“Oh, baby girl. You’re always my good girl. Always.”
Her heart raced.
“You feeling steady?” he asked.
“As I’ll ever be,” she replied. Hard to feel steady when he was making her head spin with his words and the way he was touching her.
“You start to feel dizzy, let me know. Grab onto me. I’ll hold you up. Always.”
Lord.
She closed her eyes for a moment, basking in that sense of safety . . . of love.
“Okay, Devi?”
“Better than I think I’ve ever been in my life.”
“Good. Open your eyes. Look at me. I want you to see me.”
Looking at him was never a hardship. Opening her eyes, she watched as he undid the buttons on her pajama top.
She kind of wished that she was wearing something sexy. Not that she owned anything sexy.
He spread the sides of her top, revealing her naked breasts. There wasn’t much to look at. Despite his best efforts to feed her, she hadn’t gained back the weight she’d lost over the last couple of weeks.
“Baby, you are fucking beautiful.”
“Really?” she whispered.
He gave her a stern look.
“That wasn’t me saying that I was ugly or anything!” she said quickly with her hands up.
The last thing she needed was for him to add another punishment to her book.
And she still couldn’t believe she had a naughty book.
“I was just saying . . . really. See? Totally different.”
He eyed her like he didn’t really believe her before pulling her top carefully off over her injured arm, then her good arm before throwing it aside.
“You’ll believe it. I’ll make it my mission to ensure that you do.”
Then he crouched in front of her and reached for the top band of her pajama pants. “Hand on my shoulder.”
She braced her good hand on his shoulder and he took off her pants and panties, leaving her completely naked. Thankfully, she’d finished her period yesterday.
Devi wasn’t aware that she was holding her breath until he kissed his way down her tummy, making it whoosh out of her.
“So fucking gorgeous. My girl.”
His girl.
