“You don’t have to perform for anyone here, baby. I promise. They already like you. They’re going to love you as much as I do when they get to know you. They aren’t interviewing you forthe position, and you have nothing to prove. Not to them, not to anyone. Just be you.”

“What about Ruby? I haven’t talked to her at all yet. I know she’s like a mother to all of you. I’ll bet she has all sorts of standards and expectations. She’s so important to all of you.”

“Not as important as you. And when you get to know Ruby, you’ll see that she is the last person who would ever judge anyone. Now kiss me.”

She relaxed in his arms and desire pulsed through him. He knew one thing that would take her mind off everyone else, and it was something they’d both enjoy.

He pulled her on top of him, situating her so she straddled his hips. His dick pulsed against his zipper.

Her mouth ringed into a perfect oh. She tilted forward to put her hands on his chest, rocking her hot pussy against his cock. Her lids dropped and she moaned. That was all the incentive he needed.

Threading his fingers through her hair, Boone pulled her mouth to his. Nothing in the world was more important in that moment than those luscious lips. She gasped at his sudden tug, opening for him.

Carefully so as not to hurt her, he tightened his fingers in her hair, putting just enough pressure to gain another moaned “Daddy.” She relaxed into him, giving over all control.

He nipped at her lips, teasing and tantalizing. Her hands left his chest, but only long enough to slide underneath his shirt. Her nail scraped as she slipped her hands back up his chest to grip his shoulders, sending tendrils of erotic pain straight to his cock.

He slid one hand from her hair to grip her jaw with just enough pressure that she opened wider for him. He took his kiss deeper, claiming her mouth. Nothing mattered in this moment except her. She accepted his claiming, but after three weeks ofmaking love to her, he knew she was holding herself back. That was unacceptable.

She was still fighting the voices in her head, but that was all right. He knew how to deal with them. He captured her bottom lip between his teeth, biting a bit harder, before sucking her lip into his mouth.

Something in her shifted and she lost her handle on her control. She moaned into his mouth, and he swallowed the sound. Pulling her lip back, she nipped his in return and followed with her tongue making darting ventures into his mouth.

She was going to kill him. So soft, so fierce. So on fire, and all for him.

The zipper of his pants pressed painfully against his dick. They needed to go. He made to lift her off him to take care of that, but she tightened her grip on his hips. Her thumbs dropped to his nipples. When she brushed across them with her nails, he damn near came.

He could smell her arousal. The heat from her pussy passed through both their clothes and sank into his crotch.

Yep. His Little girl was going to kill him, but he’d die one happy Daddy. It was all he could do to keep from rolling on top of her and taking her hard.

Slow… he needed to slow down. He wanted her so frantic with need she couldn’t think of anything except him and what he was doing to her.

Once he had gained a little control, he rolled on top of her. Lining his cock up with her core, he rocked his hips and took in all the gloriousness that was his girl.

Her eyes had darkened to a deep violet. The rosy flush of arousal colored her cheeks. His kisses had left her lips swollen and a deep raspberry. Her need was glorious. She’d never been more beautiful.

“You are so fucking hot, babygirl.”

She gave a slight shake to her head and her eyes cleared. Nope. Not happening. She wasn’t listening to those damn voices right now.

He kissed her hard, deep, and wet. He didn’t stop until she was moaning her need and kissing him back with the same passion. Reaching beneath her, he gripped her ass and squeezed. She answered by wrapping her legs around his hips.

When he pulled his lips back, she tried to follow him, but he held her down with a hand to her shoulder. Her eyes were glazed with passion. Oh yeah, she wanted this just as badly as he did.

“Lift your arms.” He put every ounce of command he’d ever learned in his voice. Her eyes widened and she obeyed immediately. Running his hands along her supple skin underneath, he removed her shirt.

God she was beautiful. In the weeks since he’d rescued her, she had filled out and her skin was soft and smooth. She left her hands above her head. Darting her tongue out to wet her lips, she offered a tremulous smile. It was all he could do to fight back a primal growl.

“You wouldn’t be teasing Daddy, would you, babygirl? I’d think twice, if I were you.”

She sucked in a breath and closed her eyes when he cupped her breasts. Her nipples tickled his palms, even through the thin lacy fabric of her bra. “N-no, Daddy. I wouldn’t do that.” The breathiness of her voice was going to kill him.

“Hmm. Telling fibs is worse than teasing, little girl. That kind of behavior will get you punished.”

Releasing the clasp on the front of her bra, he drew it up her arms and used it to bind her wrists together. Her whispered gasp had his dick fighting the constraints of his zipper. If he didn’t get inside her soon, he was going to embarrass himself.

Lowering his mouth to nuzzle behind her ear, he murmured, “Let me show you what happens to naughty girls who tempt their Daddies.”
