But Harper’s ear-to-ear grin as he snuggled her said he wasn’t going to point out any logical inconsistencies.
“Thank you, Daddy.” Tabitha snuggled closer, rubbing his chest and settling in quickly, but she didn’t wiggle her ass over his erection. That would’ve been a bit too obvious for the game she was playing. “You’re so good at making me feel safe.”
She almost managed to sound believable but she was looking just a bit too pleased with herself to actually be scared… and she hadn’t asked to watch anything else either. The two troublemakers were playing up any chance to snuggle and subtly rub against each other.
It was perfectly reasonable for a date but they were enjoying sneaking around pretending to be naughty, so I wasn’t going to say anything for the time being. Now, if I kept getting left out of the snuggles and wiggles, then I was going to point out their shenanigans.
When we hit the slowdown point right before the action would start ramping up, Harper quietly whispered something in her ear before kissing her head. “Let me go get you a drink.”
As Tabitha shifted to sitting between us again, doing her very best to look innocent, he got up and glanced over at me. “Water? Tea?”
“I’m good. Thanks.” Pretending not to notice the way Tabitha had snuggled closer to me, I looked at our cutie, who was now resting her head on my shoulder. “Do you want water or juice? There’s a lot of options.”
“Water, please.” She gave Harper a big smile. “Thank you, Daddy.”
Yep, just sweet and innocent.
As he headed into the kitchen, perfectly timed to miss out on the action that was building up again, Tabitha stroked my arm. “Is he…”
Magically, she started to question what would happen as an explosion went off on-screen. “Oh!”
Now it was my turn to get the scared snuggles. “Sir.”
After having watched the performance several times, I knew what my role was in the theatrical production and gathered her up in my arms. “Come here, kitten.”
She almost managed to keep her smile off her face but she wasn’t as sneaky as she thought. As she curled up on my lap, she rested her head on my shoulder. “I like snuggling with you and Daddy.”
That was the most truthful thing she’d said since we’d started watching the movie.
“I’m glad, kitten.” Kissing her nose, I smiled as she giggled and tried to snuggle even closer. Sliding lower onto the couch so she could rest on me more easily, I stroked her back and kissed her forehead. “We both like cuddling with you and I can see how happy you make your Daddy.”
That got a quiet, pleased sigh from her as she ignored the movie completely now, no longer bothering to remember to jump when a loud sound came through the speakers. She was too busy petting my chest and kissing my neck. “It might sound silly but I like the way you don’t make me feel like a third wheel and there’s no jealousy. I thought that might be a problem based on some of the stuff I read online.”
I wasn’t sure if she meant romance novels or about real couples… or if she’d started researching the lifestyle after we’d met, so I simply focused on my relationship with Harper. “I don’t know how it is for every couple like us, but we’d spent a lot of time getting to know each other casually. He’d already talked about the things he wanted out of a relationship and I knew going in that he’d need a little in his life to be happy.”
As she nodded, I sighed dramatically. “I do not need him focusing all that caretaking energy on me, thank you very much. So honestly, you’re doing me a big favor. Don’t ever forget that.”
Her giggle made me smile but her cute comeback was utterly perfect. “I’ll probably only remember that when I’ve done something to piss you off.”
Laughing, I hugged her tight. “That sounds like something Harper would’ve told you to say.”
She snickered, almost managing not to laugh. “No, Daddy only says how wonderful you are.”
I didn’t believe that in the slightest because I’d overheard them on the phone the other day and he’d been regaling her with everything I’d done lately to drive him nuts. “Then I probably shouldn’t be mean and tell you stories about him since he’s been so nice about me.”
Her silence was telling.
She finally shifted and kissed my cheek before pulling back just enough to give me wide eyes. Turning on my lap to straddle me, she was aiming for innocent but it didn’t work. “It’s okay, Sir. I don’t mind you telling me stories if you need to. I won’t tell Daddy.”
Snorting would not have been the right response, so I gave her a quick kiss as I pulled her closer against me again. “Thank you for being so sweet to me, kitten. I think all that compassion deserves a reward.”
It should’ve probably come in the form of a spanking but I started with a kiss. Wrapping my arms around her, I nudged her closer. The faintest touch had her scooting higher on my lap until her center was nestled tight against me.
I used one arm to keep her pressed against me, knowing how much she loved being restrained, and I used my other hand to caress her hair and the back of her neck. Leaning in, I nibbled on her lower lip and took my time alternating between gentle strokes of my tongue and teasing bites.
As soon as she moaned, opening her mouth for me, I deepened the kiss and started making love to her mouth. The submissive, hungry sounds that were escaping her had me achingly hard in seconds. Even without the little wiggles she was making and the way she was pressing herself harder against me, I couldn’t have held back my imagination.
But that didn’t mean I had to let her rush us.
