CHAPTER7

Simon

Just like old times.

My kitty cat was never very good at staying awake through a movie unless she was hopped up on sugar first.

I have loved this girl in so many different ways that it should feel weird to be in love with her now. Especially considering we haven’t had sex yet, but it doesn’t.

Everything I feel for her is natural and so far out of my control that I can’t fight it. I’ve never fought it.

Cat was meant to be in my life in every way no matter what people think.

Truth be told, I don’t really give a shit what people think of me. I could sell my business right now and we would be set for life no matter what.

Just the idea of her hurting because some people here are closed minded, has my heart aching for her. I want her to enjoy this relationship we’ve found and to celebrate it.

If I had been willing to look past her being my daughter three years ago, I may not have had to watch her find herself and grow to the incredible woman she is through a computer screen.

I’m not willing to let her walk away from me again. That I know with certainty. If she insists on going back to Edmonton, you can bet your ass I will be going with her. No more of this being away from each other.

I’ve tasted her lips once and I’m already addicted.

We have time to talk about all of this later though, and to come up with a plan that will make both of us happy. Right now, I am just going to sit here, watch Die Hard, and listen to my kitten snoring softly on my lap.

The rest of the world can wait.

Watching her sleep so soundly on my lap gives me a feeling of calm and rightness.

Her kitty ears are falling off her head as she snuggles deeper into my lap, and I chuckle quietly to myself when she swats at them like they’ve somehow offended her existence .

Even as a kid she hated being touched when she slept. The only time she would allow it was if she was sleeping in my bed from a nightmare, but as she got older, she stopped getting them as often.

I will always cherish the memories I have of her as a little girl, but I’m excited to make new ones as an adult.

“Hey, kitten.” I lean over her chair and let my breath brush over her neck. She’s reading her book and I feel the shiver run through her. “What are you reading?” She swallows roughly and shuts her kindle.

“No—nothing.”

Hmm, nothing my ass.

“Oh yeah?” I bring my mouth closer to her ear so it’s barely grazing the skin. “Why do I feel like you were reading naughty things?” Another shiver escapes her, this one accompanied by a whimper.

Turing around, she faces me with a lifted eyebrow.

“And if I am?” she asks and my dick starts thickening in my pants.

It doesn’t take much right now since we’re still in this insane taunt/punishment game, but her ability to sass me effortlessly is hotter than it has a right to be. I’ve never wanted to break my own rules more than I do right here with her.

“Then I think I’d like you to read it to me.”

She blinks, her eyes going wide. “You…no. You want me to read my book….out loud?” Oh, that makes her nervous. That means I may really enjoy this.

“Yeah, kitten. I do. Read the page you were just on.” She watches me as I adjust myself in my pants before sitting down in the leather chair across from hers.

After dinner, we decided to come in here and relax, but I could see her squirming in her chair and knew she needed this release just as badly as I did. I just need to make her break first.

“Uh, ok. Um…” She moves around in her seat, opening her kindle before looking between the page she’s reading and me, a blush settling on her cheeks. “I’m sure you don’t want to hear this.” She’s trying to get out of saying whatever is on that page and all it’s doing is making me want to hear it even more.
