He slid off the bed, pulled the covers over her, and snagged a pair of shorts off the floor. Yeah, this was going to be an interesting battle.
Chapter Thirteen
Ten minutes later, Maniac was back in the bedroom. He’d fixed them both a smoothie and grabbed several other items before locking the doors and turning out all the lights, leaving on only the one in the master bathroom.
Maniac’s smoothie was larger and had far more protein powder in it than hers. Plus, he’d put his in a lidded cup with a straw. Hers was in a bottle.
Tatiana was asleep, as expected, but not for long.
Maniac pulled the blankets away from her, causing the chill in the air to make her stir.
“Daddy,” she complained in a whimper, reaching for the covers.
“I’ll let you have the blankets back under one condition.”
She blinked her eyes, opening them only slightly. A pout formed on her pretty lips. “Too tired.”
“Eating isn’t optional, Baby girl.” He settled himself against the headboard and lifted her into his lap before holding up the bottle.
She glanced at it and frowned. “I don’t want to eat, Daddy.”
“You don’t have a choice, Little girl. You could have come to the kitchen and sat at the table, but if you’re too tired, you still have to get something nutritious in your tummy. Try it. I promise Daddy makes a delicious smoothie.” He tapped her lips with the nipple.
She twisted her head away. “Can’t I drink it out of a cup?”
“Nope. You’d spill it all over the bed. Bottles don’t make messes.”
She shivered. “Can I have my blankies back?”
“If you take the bottle like a good girl, I’ll cover you up and snuggle you while you eat.”
“Okay,” she finally relented on a dramatic sigh.
Maniac’s heart nearly pumped out of his chest when she wrapped her sweet lips around the nipple and started sucking. He thought he literally might expire as she started moaning gently with every suckle.
She was the most precious Little girl in the world and all his.
While she settled into sucking her bottle, Maniac tucked the covers around her, reached for his cup, and downed his own smoothie even faster. He was starving. She’d given him quite an appetite. He was probably going to need to go fix something else after she went to sleep, but this took the edge off.
As she got closer to finishing the bottle, she slowed down. He repeatedly had to jiggle the nipple in her mouth to remind her to keep sucking. His precious Little girl didn’t fight him. In fact, she wrapped her fingers around one of his and held on while she ate.
She was nearly dead asleep when it was gone, and Maniac set the bottle on the nightstand and lifted her to lay her in the middle of the bed.
She whimpered again at the movement.
Maniac reached for the pile of things he’d brought with him sitting on the foot of the bed. He tucked Floppy under one arm and Sharpy under the other. Next, he lifted her legs up just enough to slide a diaper under her bottom.
When he parted her thighs so he could add a gentle cream to her folds, she blinked at him. “Daddy?” she whispered.
He smiled at her. “You can go to sleep now, Baby girl.” He pulled the diaper up between her legs and fastened it. She was probably only half aware of what he was doing. He couldn’t leave her without a diaper though. Not as tired as she was and after drinking that bottle. Soon she was going to need to pee.
Without protesting, she closed her eyes and let her body relax.
Maniac grabbed the last item and tapped her lips with it. When she opened her little mouth, he slid the pacifier inside. She immediately started sucking.
For at least a minute, Maniac sat next to her, staring down at her. She was so damn perfect in every way. He never would have dreamed they would fit together so well. They weren’t just two pieces of a puzzle but more like all the pieces. Hundreds of pieces of a giant puzzle, all sliding into place and sealing themselves together forever.
She hugged her two stuffies against her chest, but he could still see her pert nipples rising and falling with her gentle breaths. Her legs were splayed open around the bulk of the diaper.
Her braid was a mess stretched out beside her head. Afraid it might pull too tight in the night, Maniac removed the band at the end and gently unraveled her hair until it spread around her in a blond halo.
She was sound asleep now, her mouth still sucking on the pacifier every few seconds as he tucked the blankets up around her.
He considered heading to the kitchen to make himself a sandwich but decided he couldn’t stand the idea of leaving her. Instead, he padded to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, and used the toilet before returning to slide under the covers next to her.
