While gripping her hands, I help her out of the tub and then I wrap the oversized towel around both of us, pressing our wet bodies together. Damn, I love the way her wet breasts feel smashed against mychest.
She looks at me with such fondness in her eyes, as though I’ve not blackmailed her into being here with me. “What do you want me to wear todinner?”
“I don’t know. Let’s go have a look in yourcloset.”
My eyes immediately go to a casual cream-colored sundress, reminding me of vanilla. Very fitting for the rest of the night we’re going to have. “I think this will work. Leave your hair in the topknot and skip the makeup with the exception of a peachy-pink lipgloss.”
“Yes,Sir.”
“I’m not Sir or Master tonight. I’m just Tristan when we’revanilla.”
Her eyes alight. “I like calling youTristan.”
I’ve always preferred Sir in a casual setting, but there’s something about hearing Emma Lia say my name that I enjoy. “I like ittoo.”
She rises up on her tiptoes and quickly kisses my mouth. “I’ll be down for dinner as soon as I’mdressed.”
My immediate thought is that I wouldn’t mind her being late to dinner. And then I remember that I can’t spank her over the dining room table or anywhere else tonight. But tomorrow is a differentstory.
Emma Lia is already seated at the table when I come into the dining room. I can’t believe that she beat me down here. “Someone wasfast.”
“It’s easy to be fast when all you have to do is put on a dress and lipgloss.”
I usually give her a half-hour to get ready after I direct her on how to look at dinner, but she’s just as beautiful this way. “Then perhaps I’ll have you do that moreoften.”
I take my seat at the head of the table and Ray comes in, placing a plate on the table in front of each of us. “What’s on the menutonight?”
“Shrimp with smoked-Goudagrits.”
“One of my favorites. You’re going to love this dish,bebelle.”
“I’m sure that I will. Looks and smellsdelicious.”
Emma Lia takes a bite and the soft moaning sound that she makes, although triggered by the food, causes my dick to twitch. “Likeit?”
“It’s incredible.” Her tongue darts out to lick her lips. “Mmm… socreamy.”
Fuck. I wonder if she knows how damn sexy she is even when simply talking about shrimp andgrits.
“I appreciate your returning on time. Did you have a goodday?”
She brings her hand to her mouth and covers it when she replies. “It was great. I was thrilled to spend time with my nana andAvery.”
“You didn’t see Conrad andAdam?”
“They’re out of town, but I talk or text with them every day. They check in to make sure that I’mokay.”
I figured as much. Conrad and Adam love Emma Lia. There’s no way that they’d go without checking up onher.
“Your nana is well?” Iask.
“Better now. She’s been worried about me. She was relieved to see for herself that I’m allright.”
“I’m glad that her mind has been put atease.”
Emma Lia grins. “Well, I’m not sure that one could say that it’sat ease. She’s pretty put out withyou.”
“She is, huh?” I can tell that Emma Lia is close to her grandmother by the things that she has told me about her. I can imagine that she would be put out withme.
