Forcing herself to shift several inches from him, Brooklyn gasped at the sound of Caden clearing his throat.
“Ahem. Stay where you are, little girl.”
She tilted her head to meet his gaze. “Is everything okay?”
“Everything is better than okay. A precious little girl snuggled up to me last night within minutes of my returning from my shower.”
“Oh, no. I’m sorry. I hope I didn’t interrupt your sleep.”
“I haven’t slept this well in weeks, Brookie. I think I’ll keep you.”
“You think you’ll keep me?” she repeated.
“With pleasure. Especially if I get a good morning kiss.”
Before she could let her nerves stop her, Brooklyn stretched up to press her mouth to his. Caden took over immediately, rolling her backward to the pillows. His mouth captured hers and kissed her deeply. She clung to his shoulders, meeting his lips for each exchange.
When he finally lifted his head, she was panting. “It’s official. You’re mine.” He patted her bottom, reigniting a slight sting from her spanking.
“I think I get some say in this decision,” she said, teasing him.
“Shall I persuade you to agree with me?” he asked, grinning at her.
Brooklyn hesitated. She didn’t want to disappoint him.
His hand stroking her hair back from her face drew Brooklyn from her thoughts. “Tell me what’s going on in your head.”
“You could have anyone. I’m no one special.”
“Rule number one. You are not allowed to talk badly about yourself. That crappy ex obviously filled your head with a load of garbage. Probably because he has a small dick and puts others down to make himself feel better.”
Her jaw dropped at his statement. Brent definitely had a much smaller penis than Caden had. Well, that she guessed Caden had. His steely erection had pressed against her hip when she’d sat in his lap. Brooklyn couldn’t picture Caden as a man who would wear a sock in his fatigues.
Caden cupped her chin and lifted it back into place. “I’d say my suspicion was correct. Sweetheart, the world is full of people who only exist to torment others. We aren’t those people. You are incredible, and I will never forget how lucky I am to have found you.”
She searched his face.Please don’t let him be playing me!To her delight, all she could see was Caden’s inner strength and honor. “I think I was pretty lucky to find you too,” she told him.
“Kiss me, little girl.”
Pushing her worries and self-consciousness away, Brooklyn kissed him. Each brush of their lips illustrated how right he was for her. Like they were pieces of a puzzle that fit together perfectly. She ran her hands over his muscular chest, thrilled by the power and control her daddy had.
“Could you make love to me?” she whispered. Her cheeks blazed with heat as Brooklyn waited for his answer.
“Forever and a day,” he answered, lowering his mouth to hers as his hands smoothed over her sides. Enjoying her nakedness, Caden caressed her. His hands hugged her curves, tantalizing Brooklyn.
When he pressed a line of kisses down the sensitive cord of her throat, Brooklyn tilted her head to invite Caden to explore. Butterfly brushes of his lips contrasted with his swirling tongue tasting her skin and his strong, white teeth nibbling a sizzling path. She never knew what would come next and wanted everything he offered.
Brooklyn squeezed her thighs together as her body responded to his touch. Eager to see and touch him, she pushed the covers off. She could feel the bumps and ridges of scars and injuries in addition to the rope-like muscles of his toned form. He was so handsome.
His hand glided over her stomach and up her ribcage to cup her breast. She shivered as he rubbed his work-rough thumb over her beaded nipple. Her nerves zinged with excitement at the slight abrasion. The warmth of his hand registered on Brooklyn seconds before he wrapped his lips around her taut peak, pulling it into the molten heat of his mouth. She arched her back, pushing her chest toward him.
Leaning back, Caden released her nipple with a pop of suction that surprised and titillated her. Was there anything that this man did that she didn’t like? When he switched to her othernipple and rolled it gently between his teeth, she moaned with excitement.
She wanted to please him as well. Brooklyn glided her hands down his torso, tracing the muscles as they tensed under her fingertips. He reacted to her touch, his shaft jerking as she neared his pelvis. She loved having such an effect on him. Her fingers brushed his cock, drawing a deep groan from his throat. She wrapped her fingers around his shaft and gently squeezed.
“You are going to make me come faster than a teenager,” Caden told her, sweeping her hand away.
“No fair. You get to touch me.”
