Cuddled against him, Angel ran that term ex-fiancée over and over in her mind. How could Vex have erased Trevor’s importance in her life so easily? The answer came quickly to her. Trevor wasn’t who she was supposed to be with.
“Vex? It’s okay. Trevor’s a good guy. He isn’t.… He’s not physical like you.”
Loosening his hold on her slightly, Vex growled, “That’s a polite way of stating he’s a fucking wimp who left the woman he’s supposed to love in danger.”
Angel met his gaze and shrugged. What could she say? He was totally correct. Neither her father nor Trevor had freed her from the Ravagers. Why had her father refused to pay Viper the ransom? She didn’t know what they’d done to rescue her or if they’d done something to help her.
“I’m lucky that you and your guys came to rescue someone else.” Angel leaned close to press her mouth to Vex’s. Instant heat flared between them. She wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to Vex as he kissed her deeply.
Vex’s kisses demanded a response. Angel met that challenge with enthusiasm. He made her feel alive, igniting a fire inside her she’d never experienced before. His hands stroked over her, leaving a trail of thrilling sensations. Need grew low in her stomach.
Hearing Trevor and her father reminded her how empty her life had been. Work and social events had filled her calendar. Neither had completed her life. Her time trapped by the Ravagers had changed her forever. Simply existing wasn’t good enough.
His thumbs brushed the side swell of her breasts as he gripped her rib cage. She gasped at the desire he provoked with his light caresses. Forcing herself to be brave, Angel leaned away slightly to whisper, “I need to feel alive. Would you make love to me?”
“You just escaped from a horrible situation, Angel.…”
She interrupted him. “I don’t want you because the Ravagers treated me badly. I want you because you make my heart pound. Everything else is irrelevant.”
“As much as I want to carry you to my bed and rip that T-shirt off you. You’re not ready. I need you to make that decision with your head and your heart. I won’t let you go after making love to you, Baby girl.”
Angel swallowed hard. He was right. She wanted him badly but needed to recover from the kidnapping. She replayed his words. Vex wouldn’t step out of her life after being intimate. He wasn’t interested in a meaningless fling. He wanted everything.
“You’re thinking hard, Baby girl,” Vex commented as he focused completely on her.
His endearment prompted her to ask, “You call me Baby girl and said you’re a Daddy. What does that mean to you?” She held her breath, hoping to hear what she’d always fantasized about—a relationship like those in her books. A future completely different than the unexciting past she’d had with Trevor.
He watched her closely as he answered, “I am extremely dominant and have searched for my perfect match. Someone I can care for completely as a Little girl and as a woman.”
“What would your companion be like?”
“She is beyond brave. She allows herself to be who she needs to be—a Little girl. Little girls identify in a wide range of ages. Do you know what you prefer? Or are you interested in experimenting?”
She nodded, unable to put into words what she wanted.
“Experimenting it is. That’s my preference too. We’ve talked about age play books. Would you like me to read one to you? We could start with a very Little girl and adjust to whatever feels best.”
“I’d love that.”
Vex’s voice always wrapped around her like a warm embrace. She couldn’t imagine how yummy listening to him bringing a novel to life would be.
“Let me show you the nursery, and we can choose a book together.”
“You have a nursery?” she blurted and added, “For an adult Little?”
“I have the beginning of a nursery for my Little girl. The room is missing some special touches to make the space yours. Let’s go explore together.”
“Okay!”
Angel scrambled off his lap and remembered she’d just propositioned him. “Can I ask a favor?”
“Of course.”
Her cheeks blazed with heat. “If you decide I’m your Little girl, will you consider having sex with me?”
“I already know you’re perfect for me. But am I what you need?”
She nodded quickly.
