It was true that he needed to speak to Mr. Kingsley about his relationship with Sadie and make sure his odd, mysterious benefactor understood that she wasn’t just an assignment. He wouldn’t be asking for permission or approval. Rocco would be putting his foot down on this issue. Kingsley would have to get over himself if he had a problem with Rocco’s plan.
When the bathroom door opened and Sadie stepped cautiously into the main room, Rocco stood from her bed and held out a hand. “Come, Little one.”
She shuffled closer.
When she reached him, he slid a palm up her arm. She looked slightly different, and he realized she’d been wearing mascara earlier. She looked just as pretty without it. Fresh and sweet.
“Are you going to kiss me?” she blurted adorably.
“Would you like me to kiss you?” Rocco asked, smiling. He was so totally going to kiss her before tucking her in, but he liked the idea of her asking for it.
She chewed on the corner of her bottom lip and nodded.
Rocco lifted his hand to her face and pulled her lip free of her teeth before closing the distance and kissing her while both hands snaked around her.
He took his time, keeping it tender at first while he nibbled around her lips and found out how good she felt in his arms.
It was cute how she held Edgar against her chest with one arm while she leaned into him and rose onto her tiptoes. When she let out a small whimper, he licked the seam of her lips and took the kiss deeper.
He wouldn’t do more than kiss her tonight but wasn’t ready to break this connection either. He wanted more. She tasted so sweet, and she was so pliant in his arms. Even though he knew she had a pile of hesitations in her head, she was ignoring them to kiss him. She felt every bit of the connection.
As badly as Rocco wanted to slide his hands around, cup her breasts, and learn more about her body, he stopped himself and broke the kiss, meeting her gaze.
They were both breathing heavily, and that pleased him. “Let’s get you tucked in, Little temptress,” he teased as he forced himself to step back and pull the comforter down.
Her cheeks were flushed as she hurried to climb under the covers. “You’re really going to read me a story?” she asked, surprise in her voice.
“Of course. Daddies don’t go back on their word, Little one.”
She giggled as she curled up on her side, tucking Edgar in against her chest.
Rocco sat on the edge of the bed next to her hips. “I found a cute story in my e-reader. It’s kind of long, but I bet if I read it to you every night for a few weeks, we’ll get through it.”
Her eyes widened in astonishment. “You’re going to come to my room every night?”
He leaned over and kissed her forehead. No. He wouldn’t be coming to her room for more than a few nights. By then, he intended to have her moved into his apartment upstairs. He hadn’t taken the time to explore the personal space assigned to him yet, but he did know there were two bedrooms. One of those would get turned into a playroom for Sadie. In fact, he intended to start on that project as soon as he tucked her in.
“Yes. I’ll always tuck you in, Little one. I wouldn’t be a very good Daddy if I didn’t help you get ready for bed and read you a story, would I?”
She blinked. “I don’t really know. I’ve never had a good Daddy before.”
“Well, that’s one of my jobs. It’s in the Daddy rule book.”
She giggled again. “That’s not a real thing.”
He gasped as if astonished. “Of course, it is. It’s rule number three, right after keeping Little girls safe and disciplining them if they misbehave.”
Her eyes went wide, and her jaw dropped open. She also squirmed delightfully under the covers and hugged Edgar closer as she rolled to her back. “You’re planning to discipline me?”
“Yes. When you need me to, Little one.” He let that hang between them, enjoying how she squirmed further, her pretty mouth opening and closing.
“Why would I need you to discipline me?” she finally asked. Her curiosity was painted on her face. She’d never been in a healthy age-play relationship before. She’d told him as much earlier.
He reached for her free hand and brought it to his lips to kiss her knuckles. “All Little girls are different, Sadie. I can’t know yet how often you’ll want me to discipline you, what form you’ll prefer, or how you might decide to misbehave to get what you crave.”
Her eyes had been wide before. Now, they bugged out. She also squeezed her legs together under the covers. “Do you mean like…spanking?”
