Page 20 of Daddy's Addiction

“Give me all the details. Now!” I bark down the phone before slamming it on the kitchen counter as I try to regulate my breathing.

Gripping the counter with my hands, I close my eyes and drop my head. Don’t worry, little girl. Daddy will look after you from now on.

I lift the muffins from the tray, blowing on my fingers from the heat of them, then arrange them on the cooling rack.

When I left for work this morning, I was relieved to find Tommy had left my bed. The evidence of the night before coated the sheets, and embarrassment washed over me. I never knew you could experience such pleasure while on your period, no less. My ass is a little tender, but I can’t deny it was hot as hell, and even though I hate the thought of him being with other women, that he has only ever not used protection with me feels like a gift. It makes me feel treasured and important to him. Like he’s given a part of himself to me he hasn’t given to anyone else.

Melinda, my boss, pokes her head into the kitchen area. “Jade, there’s a guy here for you.” She motions with her head toward the shop front. My eyebrows furrow. None of the guys from school ever come in here. Maybe Darryl decided to pay me a visit.

“He says he’s your daddy?”

I choke on thin air. The saliva in my throat feels trapped because, surely, she’s not referring to Tommy, right?

She glances back over her shoulder before looking back at me again, her eyes alight with the flirtation I’ve become accustomed to. My shoulders stiffen and my grip on the tray tightens with jealousy.

“He’s hot,” She tacks on, grating on my nerves. I slam the tray onto the counter with a huff and push past her as I head into the front of the store.

There, roaming around the store with his hands on his hips is the man that came in my ass yesterday. The one that haunts my dreams with promises of punishment and pleasure. His broad shoulders pull his shirt firmly across his back, and I whimper when he lifts a cupcake from the shelf as his rolled-up sleeves expose his tattooed forearms. I run my gaze over the veins that protrude from his arms, making me want to lick them. Oh god, what has he done to me?

His tongue darts out and flicks over the frosting, sending a wave of wetness into my panties before he plucks the cherry off the top and then he lifts his eyes to meet mine. My body stills as our eyes remain locked on one another.

Desire fills the air, and when he pops the cherry between his teeth, heat travels up my neck, and I can feel the flush of my cheeks at the silent insinuation behind the action. He winks at me, making me gasp in shock.

Surely he doesn’t know.

My pulse races and my legs quiver.Holy shit.

“I didn’t know you had a job, Jade.” He grins at me as he bites into the cupcake again, with his teeth bared to me like a wild animal, and the predatory look in his eyes tells me I’m his prey and he’s about to eat me alive.

I’m frozen to the spot as he pushes the rest of the cake into his mouth before making a languorous show of slipping his fingers past his lips and sucking off the frosting that was barely there to begin with. All the while, my heart is in my throat as I watch on, transfixed by the sheer sexual chemistry rolling off him.

The pop of his fingers exiting his mouth—a mere replica of the sound of his thumb leaving my lips not so long ago—sends a wave of need coursing through me.

A sly, knowing smirk plays out on his handsome face, and annoyance rumbles inside me for allowing my reaction to him to happen.

I clear my throat. “You’re not interested in me. Why would you know where I work?” I snap back as I rub my hands on my apron, trying my best to diminish my feelings.

His grin falls from his face as he steps forward, all seriousness now taking over his once playful features. “Oh, but I am interested in you, Jade. You’re my little girl to protect.” He tucks a lock of hair behind my ear and the sweet gesture has my body swaying toward him. “I had the tip of my cock in your ass last night and the blood of your period coating my fingers, little girl. You belong to me now. You’re mine.”

My blood races wildly through me, and my body heats at the crudeness of his words. Yet I want more. Need more. Need him, my daddy.

Moving closer, he places his hands on either side of my face. “Be a good girl and go grab your things.” He flicks his eyes toward the back of the store.

I swallow. “I... I haven’t finished my shift yet.”

Tommy sighs heavily and places a gentle kiss on my forehead. “Yes, you have. Off you go now. Do as Daddy tells you.” His eyes drill into mine. The darkness in them seems oddly brighter somehow. I nod as though in a trance, desperate to please him.

Untying my apron, I turn toward the kitchen, unsure of what is happening. All I know is Tommy Marino might be my stepfather, but I want him to be my daddy.

Jade

Isit with my hands in my lap and stare down at my thighs as Tommy glares straight ahead at the road. I don’t miss the feeling of his eyes on me every few seconds. Nor the way his gaze lingers on the apex of my tight T-shirt that showcases my tits.

Eventually, he clears his throat. “Do you want to tell me why you work there?”
