Page 18 of Warming Up Coco (Santa Daddy)

What if she thought I was being cheesy?

Who the fuck cares? You need to show her you care! That you’re in love with her!

Her sleepy words floated through my head again, and my chest burned with longing.I love you, Lucas.She was only a couple of steps away, yet I missed her. I had a feeling she wouldn’t remember her sweet confession, and I was okay with that.

I’d more than happily share how I felt about her, and soon. I was done keeping my feelings bottled up.

Fuck it!I set up an indoor picnic close to the floor-to-ceiling windows that happened to be right next to one of the fresh Christmas trees. The warm white twinkling lights sparkled and shined next to the fireplace I turned on.

I got to work hoping my girl wouldn’t wake up before I was done. Just as I finished tossing the last pillow onto the ground, I felt her enter the room. When I turned, the smile on my face died quickly.

“Hi.” Coco waved shyly as she tightened the belt of the emerald-green satin robe she was wearing. An emerald-green robe and nightie I had chosen just for her. The moment I saw it, I’d known it would look amazing against her olive complexion.

“Hey.” My voice sounded like gravel. Sweat started to form at the back of my neck. Jesus, Coco was beautiful. Inside and out.

And I didn’t deserve her.

I was a cold motherfucker, but I would make it my life’s mission to become a better man. My beautiful woman walked toward me in the set of lingerie I’d hoped yet didn’t think I’d see her wear this trip.

Shit.

I knew she was too good for me, but there was no way I would ever let her go. Not after knowing what her lips tasted like and the way she looked when she came on my lap.

“I changed into something a little more comfortable,” she shared almost shyly.

“I see that.” My tongue felt too big in my mouth. Coco stopped right in front of me, and my chest rose and fell heavily with my hands fisted at my sides. I had just gotten her off on my lap, and now she was tempting me to take and claim so much more.

For a moment, I wondered if I could talk her into marrying me before we headed home. That’s how serious I was about her. How sure I was that she was meant for me and I for her.

“Is this okay? Dress code wise, I mean?” she teased, but I couldn’t do anything but stare at her. My eyes greedily ate up the way she looked. I didn’t miss the peaks of her tightened nipples straining through the robe and nightgown she was probably wearing below. How her more than a handful breasts jiggled with every breath she took.

“Coco.” I swallowed, trying to find a way to warn her from pushing me too far. I was harder than granite and needed to be inside her tight little body more than I needed to breathe.

You need to calm the fuck down! a voice scolded.Make this about her. Don’t be more of a selfish prick than you’ve already been this year.

“Yes?” she asked before pulling her plush lower lip into her mouth, biting down on her flesh. She reminded me of how beautiful she’d been just a little while ago while she dry humped against her daddy to find her orgasm.

“Be good,” I warned. She gifted me with sneaky, little smile. She glanced over my shoulder and blinked. The sauciness in her gaze softened, like I’d surprised her in a really fucking good way. Jesus, I would work my hands to the bone to receive that look on a daily basis.

“What did you do?” She smiled at me.

The sight of it was so blindingly beautiful, I couldn’t help myself. I pulled her closer, eradicating the mere inches that separated us, leaned in, and pressed my mouth on hers. The kiss was too fucking short for my liking, but I had to pull away. I needed to show her what I wanted was more than a hookup or a fling. I was working fr the long game. The moment I pulled away and our eyes met, her stomach growled.

“Lunch,” I muttered, pulling her toward the picnic area.

“A picnic,” she noted as her dark eyes sparkled. “This is beautiful, Lucas.”

“It’s not much and sure as hell isn’t as beautiful as you.” I glanced at her and didn’t miss the pink tinge on her cheeks. “Let’s eat, and then we can do whatever you want,” I offered, thinking my girl would like to go out and play with the snow or maybe head into town to one of Serendipity Bluffs’ winter events.

“Anything?” I had a feeling she wanted to do anything but leave the cabin.

And I sure as hell wasn’t going to complain.

Chapter8

Coco

“How did you do all this?” I asked for the millionth time. Partly because I was curious, I hadn’t been asleep that long. Another part of me kept asking him because of how he blushed.
