She sighed and pulled her hands from her face and looked down at him. Their eyes locked, and he could see all the pent-up desire she felt for him staring back at him. “You are so fucking hot, babygirl,” he praised. Her cheeks tinted the cutest shade of pink, making him chuckle as he settled between her legs again. “Spread your legs for me, Lily,” he growled.

She did as he ordered, and he smiled up at her again.

“Good girl,” he praised.

Her cheeks turned pink again, and he was starting to see that Lily thrived on praise. That worked for him, because he’d give her all the praise she needed.

He gently licked his way into her pussy, and she nearly bucked off the damn bed. “Hold still, babygirl,” he ordered.

She nodded, and did as he said, still keeping her eyes on him. He could tell that it was taking every bit of her effort to stay still for him as he got to work eating her sweet pussy. Fuck, she tasted amazing.

When she was close, he reached up and pinched her nipple, and Lily cried out his name as she rode his mouth. She took what she wanted from him, and this time, she made no apologies for doing so.

“Oh, god,” she panted. “Are you okay?” she asked.

“If I were any more okay, I’d be in trouble,” he said as he kissed his way up her body.

“I didn’t mean to lose control like that,” she said.

“I like that you did, babygirl,” he admitted.

“You do?”

“Yep, and I plan on making you lose control again. Only this time, I need to be inside of you when you do it.” He pulled her onto his lap, and she willingly climbed on top of him. Her wet core framed his erection, and all he could think about was getting inside of her and hearing her cry out his name again as he lost himself deep inside of her.

He felt as though he was holding his breath as Lily slid down his cock—inch by excruciating inch, until she was fully seated on his lap.

“I feel so full,” she whispered. She wasn’t looking at him again, even though they were face to face, and he needed to know that she was with him—completely.

“Babygirl,” he said, putting his finger under her chin. He slowly raised it until her eyes were back on him. “Good girl,” he whispered, sealing his mouth over hers.

Lily moaned into his mouth as her body slid up and down his cock. Fuck, she felt amazing. He wasn’t sure where she began, and he ended, but he knew that he needed more of her. There was no way that he’d let her out of his bed now that he had her there, but they’d get to that later.

Soren grabbed handfuls of her ass, helping to slide her drenched folds over his cock, and when he could tell that she was close to finding her release again, he slid the pad of his thumb over her clit. Her entire body clenched around him, and he groaned out her name.

“Babygirl,” he hissed, “I need you to come for me because I’m not going to last with you milking me that way.”

“Daddy!” she shouted as she rode his cock, taking what she needed from him again. He shouted out her name, pumping himself into her body until he was fully sated. She collapsed against his chest, and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

“You’re crushing me again,” she mumbled against his shoulder.

He chuckled. “I can let go if you want me to,” he offered.

“Don’t you dare,” she breathed.

He didn’t know how it had happened, but Lily was quickly becoming everything he never knew that he wanted and so much more. Soren worried what would happen once Lily realized that she was free to leave him any time she wanted. He’d continue to make sure that she was safe, no matter where she was. But he had no problem with never letting her go again—he’d just save that bit of information for later when they discussed her sleeping in his bed tonight and every night, for as long as she wanted to stay with him.

Chapter Ten

Soren

Breakfast passed more quietly than the previous day's meals. Soren noticed the difference immediately. Lily ate without Maria having to coax every bite out of her. She accepted a second piece of toast without insisting someone else should have it instead. They were small victories, but he’d take them. They would probably be insignificant to anyone else, but to Soren, they were progress.

Lily no longer flinched every time someone entered the room. She spoke without apologizing after every sentence. And she even teased Luca when he burned his tongue on coffee. The sound of his second-in-command muttering colorful curses while Maria scolded him drew a quiet laugh from her.

Soren found himself watching her instead of the conversation around the table. Her smile came easier this morning, and that seemed to matter to him more than it should have. Maria cleared the breakfast dishes, humming softly to herself as she disappeared into the kitchen.

Lily looked toward Soren. "I have a question."
