“You’re killin’ me, sugar.” With a long-suffering sigh, Daddy leaned across the work table, snagged my hand, and pulled me back to him until I was bracketed between his thighs. When his hands slid into the back pockets of my cutoffs and cupped my ass, I reminded myself to breathe.
“How about this…you don’t go breaking up with me before we get going. We date and do shit together. And if we like it, we do more shit together. If we don’t like it, then we stop doing shit together,” Daddy offered, like it was the most reasonable solution in the world.
“We could do that, I guess,” I said begrudgingly.
“You’re so sweet.” The sarcasm was obvious, but so was the smile in his voice. “We got that settled, so now we gotta plan the shit. Pick you up at six for the potluck on Saturday? It’s casual, so wear whatever.”
“Uh-huh.” My brain couldn’t be expected to remain online when his fingers were gently kneading my ass. It was a fully lost cause when he slid his hands out of my pockets and those magical, talented fingers roamed the planes of my back, leaving a trail of tingles in their wake. I swayed and bowed toward him.
Daddy sought out that sensitive spot at the base of my throat. His tongue found my pulse point and sucked on it in the same rhythm. My moans filled the kitchen, and his chuckles followed. Between his fingers and his mouth, I melted into happy, boneless goo. Almost boneless.
“Sugar, I have a dinner meeting tonight in San Antonio. You gonna be awake tonight around nine? I’ll stop by, bring you some dessert, and tuck you in.”
“None for you?”
“I got somethin’ else in mind for mine.”
I hadn’t blushed since high school, but Daddy broke my streak.
Daddy
I’m stuck on I-10, so I’m not going to make it on time. It’s a parking lot.
Jasper
Oh no! What happened?
Daddy
Jack-knifed truck with a tipped-over trailer. They are clearing it, but it’s gonna be a while.
Jasper
Well, damn, I wanted to see you tonight. I was promised a tucking in.
Daddy
If you don’t mind it being late, I still want to keep my promise.
Jasper
Side door’s unlocked, but don’t worry about it. I was mostly joking about the tucking in.
Daddy
Fingers crossed we’ll get moving soon.
Jasper
Be careful.
“Sugar, you smell good.”
“Daddy, you made it. What time is it?” With his body blanketed over mine, my phone was too far out of reach to check.
“One-thirty. They finally diverted us through the back roads.” My sharp gasp when he nuzzled the space behind my ear made him chuckle. After my reaction, he went back for another go. “I’m sorry I woke you up.”
“I’d be more upset if you hadn’t.” I squirmed until I was on my back and underneath him. His weight anchored me to the bed. With some maneuvering, we managed to fuse our mouths together. Daddy’s tongue plunged deep inside my mouth. Our tongues tangled, but there was absolutely no resistance from me to his kiss. Each stroke of his tongue sent waves of anticipation thrumming through my veins. I’d never wanted a man more in my life. I swallowed my disappointment when we were forced to separate to drag air into our lungs.
