“Can we do that again?” His hand swatted my ass, and I giggled.

“We can do that any time you want.”

“Yay,” I whispered. “I love you, Lucas.

“I love you, too. Rest for me, okay?”

“Okay, Daddy.” I sighed softly before sleep got the better of me, and like a good girl, I drifted off.

Chapter11

Lucas

She stared up at me with those big brown eyes of hers, and my heart felt too big in my chest. How was it possible that after a life of not knowing love, it was standing right in front of me? Choosing me, wanting me, and needing me despite my worst?

I was a bastard. My lips tipped up, and I gave her a challenging look. I lost sight of her chocolaty gaze as it dropped to the outfit I’d chosen for the day.

To say it was skimpier than anything she’d worn the last couple of days was an understatement. For the past three days, we’d been snowed in together with nowhere to go. We didn’t mind. Fuck, if I was honest, I was so damn glad Mother Nature seemed to be on my side to steal time away with Coco.

We’d been insatiable after we broke the seal. There wasn’t a spot inside the cabin I hadn’t taken her or kissed her or touched her. And I was creative, which my baby girl showed her appreciation for.

“You want me to wear…” I nodded. My gaze never wavered from where she stood. The snow had stopped, and we were finally able to get out and explore, but once Coco noticed the hot tub on the deck off the second-floor living space, I’d had one thing and one thing in mind.

She sucked her pretty bottom lip into her mouth. My hand rose and held her chin. Her eyes flared, and a pretty tinge of pink painted her face. With the pad of my finger, I pulled it out.

“You’re going to hurt yourself, baby. Don’t do that.” I winked. “I’m the only one who is allowed to bite this, understood?” I loved the way her eyes glittered up at me.

My girl was so damn sweet.

I had discovered so much about her in the last couple of days. With the power spotty, we hadn’t bothered to turn on the TV, choosing to play boardgames and talking instead. Hell, we’d even lain together on the huge sectional, her body covered in nothing but my cable-knit sweater, a pair of lace panties, and nothing else while we each read.

I didn’t visit Serendipity Bluffs that often, but with Coco in my life, I could see that changing. With the cabin as the backdrop to where we finally got together, I knew I was going to buy it. And soon.

“Coco? No more biting your lip, unless”—I pressed my forehead against hers— “unless I’m inside you when you do it.”

“Yes, Daddy,” she answered with a hint of attitude, and fuck if my dick didn’t love that.

The thought of claiming and discovering every side of her because she trusted me completely with all of her drove me crazy in the best way possible. I was starving for her like a man who hadn’t woken up to his minx licking his dick like a freaking melting ice cream cone. Just the reminder of the morning made my body temperature kick up a couple of notches.

“You getting sassy with me, little girl?” I drawled slowly and watched her lips tip upward.

“What if I am?” she taunted, and I took the bait.

I kissed her long and hard.

Passionately, because when it came to Coco, there were no sweet, easy, or small kisses. Her eyes were still shut when I pulled away. I watched her eyes open slowly. The desire in her hooded gaze had my balls drawing up tightly. I pointed at the tiny black bikini on our bed.

“Put that on, and I’ll meet you in the living room.”

“Where’s my robe?” She looked around. I grinned.

“In the living room.”

“You want me to walk around in this?” She lifted the top, and I had to reach down and grip my cock for some relief. Shit. The fucking top was tiny, and I couldn’t wait to see her in it.

“Yes.” I cleared my throat. Her eyes moved down and up my body, and when our gazes locked, I knew she liked the effect she had on me.

I forced my legs to take me out of the room and toward the living room, where we spent most of our time. I walked over to the door that led to the deck that held the hot tub. It was already turned on and bubbling. Steam clouded the space in the cold temperature outside.
