Page 5 of Koa’s Little Girl (Soldier Daddies #8)

G iana parked her truck next to him. It was fun to see how their vehicles seemed to signal that they had a lot in common.

As she slid out of her truck and landed with a gentle bump, Giana regretted the two coffees she’d consumed while waiting for him.

She hadn’t wanted to leave the table by the window in case he arrived.

“Now I’m hoping I didn’t leave a mess inside,” Koa said with a smile as he escorted her up to the door.

She loved the warmth of his hand on her back. Koa automatically took care of her. As far as she could tell, it wasn’t an act. Giana definitely wasn’t used to a man behaving like that.

“I promise not to judge,” she assured him as he opened the door.

Good heavens! Koa’s house was immaculate and sparse. Everything was in its place, and no dust would dare to land on the furniture in fear of instant annihilation. “I think you’re safe. And I know you’re never coming to my house if you think this is messy.”

“Military training,” he explained. “Plus the fact I don’t spend much time here.”

“Oh, are you a bar fly?”

“I do like music and dancing. But I spend a lot of time with my team.”

“You Special Forces guys seem to hang around each other,” Giana observed.

“We do. This is my first team so I can’t comment on how close other groups are, but when your life depends on those other guys, you bond.”

“I bet. Go get cleaned up. I’ll be fine here,” Giana urged as she took a seat on the couch.

“Please, feel free to turn on the TV, explore, make yourself at home,” Koa urged. He took a step toward her as if he were going to kiss her again and then halted. “Let me go shower.”

“I’ll be here,” she answered, smiling at him. Giana enjoyed thinking that he liked kissing her. She definitely had enjoyed his attention.

He disappeared down the hall, and she heard water running. “Oh!” That wouldn’t help her need to use the bathroom. Giana squeezed her legs together as the urge became an emergency. Maybe he had two bathrooms.

Koa had told her to explore. Giana bit her lip, trying to figure out what to do. She could jump in her truck and go to a public restroom. She looked around for a way to leave him a note. If only she could spot a notepad. She couldn’t just disappear.

Giana didn’t think she’d make it somewhere ten or even five minutes away.

Standing, she walked down the hall, checking for another bathroom.

She found a spare bedroom set up like a home gym and Koa’s bedroom with its massive king-size bed.

That made her stop for a minute as her imagination went wild.

The pressure of her bladder made her switch focus. There wasn’t another bathroom. Only the one he was currently naked inside.

Before she could stop herself, Giana knocked on the door. “Koa, I’m so sorry. I have to pee.”

“Come in, little girl. I won’t peek.”

Giana didn’t hesitate. She was used to sharing facilities with the other firefighters.

Heck, she’d seen most of her colleagues naked and vice versa when they’d been exposed to dangerous chemicals while putting out a fire and had to strip off their clothes for decontamination.

Giana pushed her pants down and collapsed onto the toilet.

Knowing that he could hear her made this seem so intimate.

A soft hum came from behind the shower curtain, and then a smooth, low voice emerged.

Koa was singing. His voice was amazing. Deep and rich, he added his own touch to the latest country hit Giana had heard on all the radio stations.

The song covered any sound she made and soothed her jangled nerves.

Quickly, she finished and flushed the toilet, hoping it wouldn’t affect the temperature in the shower. Giana washed her hands and squeaked a “thank you” before escaping out the door. His serenade followed her into the hall.

Giana leaned on the bathroom door, hugging herself. What a Daddy thing to do. How many men would have realized she was embarrassed and provided cover for her? More important than that, how many men wouldn’t have peeked? In one move, Koa had proved to her he was truthful, reliable, and thoughtful.

She shook her head in amazement. How had she found him?

“Please let him be my daddy,” she whispered.

“What? I’m sorry, I missed that,” Koa said, opening the door. “Whoa!” He caught Giana as she fell inward to land against his chest.

“Oh! I’m sorry!” Giana said, trying to move away as soon as she’d regained her balance. She turned to face him to apologize one more time and swallowed her tongue.

Holy fuck! Did men have that many muscles? She stared at his body covered only by a towel wrapped around his waist. Her gaze dipped down past the delicious hip grooves to the damp material clinging to his pelvis. OMG!

“Fair warning, little girl. I’m going to pick you up and carry you to my bed in exactly five seconds if you don’t backtrack to the couch.”

Giana didn’t move. She looked at his face in wonder. When he announced, “One,” she took two steps forward to press herself against him. “Kiss me, Koa.”

His deep growl did things to her inside. His arms tightened around her waist, hugging her to his hard muscles. Koa lowered his mouth to hers in what felt like slow motion, as if giving her time to change her mind. There was no way that was going to happen.

Giana rose on her tiptoes to speed up the process. She swept her tongue over the seam of his lips and slipped inside to taste him. Fresh mint signaled to her that he’d brushed his teeth. She missed his own flavor, but quickly pushed that aside as he deepened the kiss.

His hand trailed up her spine, making her shiver. Koa cupped the back of her head and held her in place as he took control of their exchange. His dominance made her feel sexier and freer. With him in charge, she simply needed to enjoy herself.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to him as he devoured her.

Giana could feel herself responding to him.

Her nipples tightened against Koa’s hard chest, and she wiggled to brush them over his skin.

She squeezed her thighs together as heat built between them, soaking her panties with her juices.

She scooted her feet closer to press her pelvis to his hardening shaft.

Koa released her mouth. “Do you promise not to run away if I carry you into my bedroom?” he growled. “We can take this slow.”

“I don’t want to go slow. Make love to me, Koa.”

“Daddy,” he demanded.

Giana understood immediately. “Make love to me, Daddy.”

Her world whirled around her as Koa lifted her to drape over his shoulder. She stared at the most perfectly formed male butt cheeks flexing as he carried her to his bed. His towel was crumpled and forgotten on the floor behind them.

“Come here, little girl,” he said, lowering her feet to the floor. “You are way overdressed.”

Giana grabbed the bottom of her shirt. She’d only lifted it a couple of inches before his hands stopped hers. She glanced up in surprise.

“Daddy gets to unwrap his present.”

“Present?” she echoed.

“Best damn present I’ve ever received.”

He tugged the shirt from her hands and whisked it over her head. After tossing it somewhere, Koa traced the delicate edge of her bra over the top of her breast. Giana bit her lower lip to prevent herself from moaning.

“Look how pretty you are. Daddy needs to take away this scratchy lace.”

She nodded eagerly and held her breath as he traced the straps over her shoulders to the back fastener. Koa deftly released the hooks and smoothed the band from her skin. Giana shrugged her shoulders to help him, and the cups dropped away.

“You are so beautiful, little girl.”

He tossed the scrap of lace away before cupping her breasts.

His thumbs brushed roughly over her sensitive skin.

Giana closed her eyes to savor the sensation of his caresses.

She blinked them open at the feel of his hot breath.

To her delight, she watched Koa swirl his tongue over one budded peak before drawing it into the heat of his mouth.

A moan of pleasure escaped her mouth, drawing his gaze to her.

“Mmm,” he hummed on her skin, sending vibrations through her sensitive flesh.

Giana couldn’t believe how everything felt better with him. It was as if he had a magic touch. “Please,” she begged.

“I’m not going to rush this, little girl,” he told her sternly before kissing a tantalizing path to her other breast and repeating his caresses.

When he released her nipple with an audible pop, Giana realized she wasn’t returning his caresses. Afraid he would consider her a selfish lover, she lowered herself down onto her knees. Koa caught her and lifted her back to her feet.

“No, little girl. I’m not finished with you.”

He unfastened her jeans and yanked the denim and her panties over her hips, throwing them to the floor.

Kneeling on one leg, he scanned her curves slowly as Giana held her breath.

He leaned forward to press his mouth to her mound before telling her, “You are an irresistible temptation. I need you in my bed now. Brace yourself on my shoulder and lift this foot.” He tapped her left toes without glancing away.

Giana scrambled to follow his instructions and switched as soon as he finished with her shoe and clothing on one side.

She tightened her fingers on his shoulder as he stood up, brushing his body against hers.

Giana could feel the effect of her nakedness on him.

Koa’s thick, hot shaft pressed into her stomach.

He stroked her back and gripped her waist. “I need you, little girl. Do we need to discuss anything? I’m regularly tested on base to conform to regulations. I’m clean.”

She blinked at him, struggling to focus on his words. “What?”

“I’m safe for you. Are you on birth control?”

Giana’s face heated as she understood that time. Thankful he was thinking clearly to ask, she blurted, “I’ve been tested recently, too. I’m on the pill.”

“Do you want me to wear a condom, Giana?” he asked, cupping her face. “I want to take care of you if that’s what you prefer.”

She swallowed hard and forced herself to be smart. “Maybe in the beginning?” she asked. If he fucked her and never pursued her again, she’d have one less thing to worry about. “I mean…”

“That’s completely reasonable, Giana. Smart. I’m glad you take care of yourself, little girl. I’m going to earn your trust. I don’t plan to go anywhere.”

Her heart melted inside her chest. He made her feel so safe. “Make love to me, Koa. I need you.”

His wolfish grin made her heart skip a beat. She’d never met anyone like him.

Koa swept her into his arms and laid her gently on the bed. Following her down to the mattress, he kissed and caressed her until Giana couldn’t put a coherent thought together. She explored his hard angles, seeking to return the pleasure he lavished on her.

Koa trapped her wrists in his hands and yanked them over her head to pin her to the pillows. She stared up at him, panting with arousal. Had she done something wrong? “Koa?”

“I have to get the condom on, Flame. I need to calm down a minute or I’m going to come the moment I touch myself,” he growled.

The corners of her lips twitched upward. Giana was ecstatic that she’d affected him so strongly. She playfully waggled her eyebrows at him, loving his honesty. Lifting her hips, she rubbed her pussy against his hard thigh.

“You are going to kill me, little girl.” Koa kissed her hard before reaching for the drawer of his nightstand.

He ripped open the small packet and rolled it onto his erection.

When she licked her lips without thinking, he groaned and threatened, “I’m going to spank your bottom until it’s fiery red, Flame. ”

When she nodded eagerly, he shook his head. “My cock is going to break off if you make me any harder. Damn. I need to be inside you now.”

He pushed himself up to his hands and knees. Placing the head of his cock at her entrance, Koa pressed slowly inside. When she wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him toward her faster, Koa pinned her hips to the mattress. “Slow, Giana. I don’t want to hurt you.”

As he filled her, her body stretched around him. The sensation combined pleasure and pain in an addictive rush that made her eyes roll up to the ceiling. “Eyes on me, Flame.”

Her gaze fixed on his as he sank fully into her. Giana would never forget that intimate connection. She stared up into his face, suspecting she’d never be the same after his lovemaking.

“Are you okay, little girl?”

“Move, Koa. I need it all.”

“That’s my girl,” Koa praised her and shared that wolfish grin that did funny things to her insides before slamming his mouth over hers in a punishing kiss that distracted her from his withdrawal. There was no way she missed his thrust back into her tight pussy.

She came harder than ever before, screaming into the room as she shattered. Giana gave up trying to remain in any semblance of control. She abandoned herself to the pleasure that Koa lavished on her.

When he came a long time later, she clung to his powerful body.

Completely exhausted from the numerous climaxes he’d coaxed from her, Giana pressed kisses to every inch of skin she could reach.

Thinking of her at all times, Koa moved to her side when their heart rates calmed.

She clutched at him when Koa rolled toward the edge of the bed.

“Shh, little one. I’ll be right back. I’m going to get rid of this condom.”

When he returned, Koa brought a damp washcloth. He stroked it over her face and neck before using it to clean her juices from her thighs. Dropping the cloth next to the bed, Koa stretched out and pulled Giana close. He covered them with the sheet and kissed her temple.

“Nap, little girl. I’ll fix us dinner in an hour.”

Giana considered arguing, but being held in his arms was too delicious. She followed his directions and closed her eyes.
