The way he wouldn’t let me do the dishes earlier was so sweet and I’m pretty sure if my mom hadn’t been in the kitchen, he would have scolded me for arguing.

It only takes a few minutes before he has me wrapped up in a thick diaper and a nightie, making me feel so small and innocent. Last night, I felt more embarrassment, but tonight, it’s more natural between us. Like this is exactly what we’re supposed to be doing.

“Come here,” he says as he holds out his hands for me.

When I sit up, he lifts me, settling me on his hip. I cling to him and wrap my arms around his neck.

“You don’t have to carry me. I can walk. I’m too heavy.”

He stops in the middle of the room and stares at me with a hard gaze. “Did you just insult yourself?”

My eyes widen and I shake my head. “No, but I’m not skinny, and I don’t want to hurt you.”

His jaw flexes, and he continues into the bathroom, then sets me on the counter. He rests his hands on each side of me, blocking me in as he moves his face only inches from mine.

“If I ever hear you call yourself heavy again, I’ll put soap in your mouth and spank your bottom. Your body is my obsession. I love every curve of you. I want to follow every dip and valley with my tongue. You’re beautiful and perfect, and I will never allow you to insult yourself. That’s a rule. Are we clear on that?”

A shiver runs through me. “You really think I’m beautiful?”

His nostrils flare as he steps back and grabs one of my hands to press it to his cock. “I haven’t stopped being hard since I got here tonight. I fantasize about you. You’re lush and soft, and I wouldn’t change a single thing about you. I’ve always loved your body. And everything that’s on the inside makes it even more beautiful. So no more saying negative things. I don’t like it, and I won’t put up with it. I love carrying you, and you’re not too heavy. You’re perfect for me.”

Okay, when did this man become so swoony? I mean, Dane has never been the smooth talker that his brother is, but dang, I think I just came a little.

When I nod, he gives me a swift kiss before he pulls out my toothbrush and toothpaste, and brushes my teeth for me like he did last night. We stare at each other the entire time, and it feels so intimate.

After he’s done, he carries me to my bed and tucks me under the covers. I don’t want him to leave. Even though I slept well last night, I hated that he had to go.

“Will you stay with me?”

He stares at me for a long time before he sighs. “I don’t want to do anything that will confuse or upset your mom.”

My shoulders drop, and I nod. He’s right. He’s trying to do the right thing, and I love him so much more because of that.

“I guess I could set an alarm so I can slip out before she wakes up,” he says.

A smile spreads so wide on my face that my cheeks ache, but I don’t care. Sleeping in Dane’s arms is a dream come true, even if he’ll be gone when I wake up.

“Are you sure? You have to get enough sleep too. You work tomorrow.”

Even though I give him the out, I hope he doesn’t take it. I would understand if he does, but I’d still be sad.

He shakes his head. “I want to stay with you. I’ll be okay. I’ll set my alarm for five and go home and sleep for a couple more hours before I have to start my day.”

I wiggle happily in bed. He laughs and shakes his head. Then he starts pulling off his shirt, and every thought disappears as I watch with complete fascination. He’s filled out a bit since we were younger. He has more chest hair, and his pecs, shoulders, and arms are broader and more muscular. But damn, he still has the V thing going on, and I want to trail my tongue down it. I don’t know why simple lines make women turn so rabid. They’re just indents, but it’s like it’s a neon flashing light directing me right to where the gold is.

“My eyes are up here,” he teases.

I flick my gaze up to his and grin. “You’re still so hot.”

He seems surprised but doesn’t say anything as he undoes his belt and jeans. The clink of the belt buckle causes a shiver to run down my spine. Another thing I’ll never understand. Why does that simple noise make me react like that? It’s hot. I don’t have time to think too deeply about it because the next thing I know, he’s tugging down his pants, revealing his tight boxer briefs.

Holy fuck. I’ve always thought Dane was hot, but seeing him without his clothes, he’s gorgeous. In a real way. He’s not the kind of man you’d see on a magazine cover. He’s not perfect or chiseled like stone. He’s real and flawed and sexy as hell. His hands are permanently stained slightly darker from all the years spent under the hood of a car. They’re calloused and rough, but I love the feel of them when he touches me. I don’t know how he could ever think I deserve better than him, but he’s obviously delusional.

“Quit eye fucking me, Little one. I’m hanging on by a thread as it is. We’ll have plenty of time for sexy times later. For tonight, it’s snuggle and story time.”

I let out a small whine. He raises an eyebrow in warning, so I quickly nod and push the covers back for him to climb into bed with me.

“Good girl.” He slides in next to me and pulls me into his arms.
