“You spoil me, Daddy.”

I chuckle while she sips her drink. “Until my last breath.”

I climb into bed as she sets down her glass and turns off the lamp on her nightstand. I’m ready to fuck her again because she’s so damn irresistible, but I refuse to be selfish and opt to hold her instead. I know this is what she craves, and honestly, I do too. Feeling her soft curves and silky hair allows me to rest easy at night, knowing she’s mine.

Just when I think she’s fallen asleep, I hear her hushed melodic voice. “In case I don’t tell you enough, I love you, Logan.” Sleep is evident in her slowed cadence, but her sincerity makes my heart swell.

“I know, baby. I love you too.”

Kelsey snuggles closer and laces our fingers together against her chest. “Before I met you, I was afraid to trust anyone because it never worked out. I was happy to be divorced, but I was heartbroken that someone could hurt me the way my ex did. He made me feel like loving me was a burden, and I was too much trouble. I never wanted to experience pain like that again. So it seemed safer to guard my heart and avoid relationships altogether.”

I want to throttle that prick every time she mentions what he did.Fucking asshole.

“Baby, that’s not—”

She tightens her grip on my hand and interrupts me. “No, I know it’s not true, and you’re different than any man I’ve ever met. You really do enjoy taking care of me, don’t you?” I can hear a sliver of doubt edging in.

“Of course I do, Kelsey.” I squeeze her in my arms.

“I’ll always love you for that. And so many other things.” She brings our clasped hands to her lips and kisses my knuckles.

“I’ll always love you too, Little Girl.”

“Best Halloween ever, Daddy.” This time, I can hear the smile in her tone.

“Good. Now, go to sleep… Red.” She giggles when I nibble her neck.

With a contented sigh, I close my eyes and inhale her warm vanilla and cocoa butter scent. No other words are exchanged. We’ve said everything we needed to say. Kelsey may have been let down in the past, but that’s something I’ll never do. She’s mine now, to take care of forever.

Until my last breath.

THANK YOU!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my book! I’m just a true Southern girl, reading and writing books, asking you to love me. I hope my mix of romance, with a dash of swoon, and a pinch of smut, brings a smile to your face and a tingle to your fun bits.
