“Daisy will be pleased.”
“How would you like to watch a movie in my office while I get some work done?”he asked.
“Oh, I’ve never seen a movie.”
Jesus, he doubted this woman had any enjoyment in her life.First at the convent and then while on her own.Every day had to have been a struggle for her.
“I’ll find one I think you’ll like.”
He led her into the office and sat her down on the sofa.He sat next to her with the remote.He ran through several channels before deciding on a lighthearted Disney movie.
“See what you think of this, Sweetheart.”
Her eyes were wide as she stared at the TV.“Oh, um, I’ll watch it.”
Thomas smiled and kissed the side of her head, which she didn’t seem to notice.“Okay.I’ll be at my desk doing work if you need me.”
She nodded, but her eyes remained entranced by the movie.
He walked to his desk, sat down, and started his computer.He pulled up a popular online site and started ordering the clothing she needed.He was not going overboard this time because he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable.So, a few pairs of jeans, socks, panties, bras, several button-down shirts, a pair of boots, tennis shoes, a fall jacket, and a winter coat.
When she became comfortable, they’d sit down together and buy some things she wanted.But at least he got a good start on what she absolutely needed.
He studied her delicate features before he focused on the work he needed to do.Thomas continued to glance at her periodically.He knew it was taking time away from work, but he couldn’t get over how peaceful it was having her near him.He was content for the first time in his life.
Now, he just had to wait and hope she would learn to care for him as much as he was coming to care for her, and want to try a relationship.He wouldn’t push her into anything, but he wanted her to be aware of the type of relationship he needed.
Everything he’d learned about her made him think she would be perfect for the Big/Little connection he craved.He was a bit worried about what would happen if she didn’t.He bet he’d still want her, but was worried he’d come to a point where he wouldn’t be as fulfilled as he wanted to be.
Until he knew, he’d try his best to teach her what a good life she’d have with him and how happy she would be to not worry about anything but making her daddy happy.
Chapter Eight
Thomas sat outsideon the porch swing listening to the toads and watching the fireflies light up the fields.
Sitting there had always brought him peace, but that night, all he could think about was Angel.It had been five days since she’d been living with him, and she was still extremely nervous around him.
