Charlotte opened her mouth but closed it when she looked up at Josh.
“Fine.” She grabbed her coat and headed toward the door. “This isn’t over. You have to come home sometime.” She looked back once and then left.
The door slammed behind her. I fell into Josh’s arms.
“Baby, I’m so sorry.” I shrugged.
“Don’t be.” I grabbed his hand. “Come on.”
I headed toward the bedroom. Josh wouldn’t budge.
“Where are we going?”
I turned back to him and gave him my sultry grin. “It’s nap time.”
“Oh, I’m so glad my little girl is so fond of nap time.” He chuckled.
“It’s my favorite.” I giggled.
“Oh really?” Josh scooped me up in his arms and carried me into the room.
“Yep.” He set me down on the bed and I pulled him down with me. “As long as I get to nap time with Daddy” —he interrupted me with a kiss— “it’s my favorite.”
“I love you, Tinley.”
“I love you too, Daddy.”
CHAPTER 29
JOSH
Imoved to the side to not squish my little Tinley. I rained down small kisses on Tinley’s cheeks and lips. I moved down her neck and sucked on it before releasing her with a loud pop. Tinley’s giggles turned into a moan when I worked my way up and kissed her on the lips. Tinley rolled onto her side to get closer to me.
I slid a hand under her sweater and ran my fingers down her bare back. Her throat hitched and I moved further around to cup the side of her breast. I pushed her shirt up and she pulled it the rest of the way over her head. She settled back against the bed. She slid her fingers through my hair and pulled me down for another kiss. I let her take the lead and move at her pace. She continued kissing me and my hand continued to explore. I pulled back and looked down at my sweet little girl. Her eyes were closed, but she appeared relaxed. I felt the need to check in on her anyway. Was she really ready for me? I was so ready for her.
“Open your eyes for me.”
They blinked open.
“Hi there, sweet T.” I smiled and traced her lips with my fingers.
“Hi, Daddy.”
“You okay?” I continued drawing my finger down her neck.
“I’m great, Daddy.” She tilted her head to give me better access as I continued down between her breasts. “I like the way you touch me.”
“I like touching you.” I kissed her. “And kissing you. You know how much I want you?”
“I want you, too, Daddy.” She blinked and looked away. “But I am a little scared.”
“It would be strange if you weren’t scared.” I caressed her cheek. “I’m scared, too.”
“But just a little scared.” She reached down and placed her hand under my shirt. “And not scared enough that we need to stop. I want this.”
“Okay, but first you need to tell me what you’re scared of.” I laid my hands on top of hers.
“I’m scared about the normal things, like what if I’m not good in bed?” She grinned. “What if you’re not good in bed? What if we aren’t compatible? What if our chemistry doesn’t extend to the bedroom? You know, things like that.”
