“Your father’s plan when he gave you to me.”

I gulped, looked away, and answered honestly. “I don’t know. I don’t want to know.”

I felt a warm hand on my hips, and Valerio stepped into my place. “Sometimes it is better to not know.”

I looked up at his deep green eyes. Everything about him was perfect. If he was ready to give himself to me, I knew I didn’t deserve it one bit. It didn’t stop me from wanting, though. “Yeah?”

“Yeah.” He kissed my cheek. “She is not a free woman anyway. If we want to hate, we can hate your father.”

Notyoubutwebecause we were a team.

“We can make him mad,” he said with a sinister smile.

My lips twitched. “I think you did that a lot.”

“I can do more.” He wrapped both arms around my waist and pulled me to him. I could feel his semi-hard cock through our clothes. “Do you want me to make you scream under his roof so he will know how much I worship you? Do you want me to lick that sweet cunt right here?”

Normally his words would make me hot, but they didn’t this time. Old memories played in my head. I felt tense. I didn’t want Valerio to be like them. Wanting him was hard, but seeing him like I saw them would be worse. It would ruin me more.

I didn’t want him to see, though. I didn’t want anyone to see me be vulnerable. So I just said, “Elsie is waiting for me.”

Valerio didn’t push it. He narrowed his eyes, and something weird, like understanding, passed his eyes even though there was no way for him to understand. For some reason, he even got soft against my belly. But he still smiled and pressed a soft kiss to my shoulder. “You are right. Go read Peanut her story. I am going to have a drink with your dad. I am sure I can find other ways to show him how much I worship you.”

“I am sure you can.”

“I’ll come to take you later, okay?”

“Okay,” I answered.

Valerio kissed my lips and pulled me out of the bathroom. He walked with me to Elsie’s room and gave her a kiss before leaving. She gave him an adoring look, and even though I never looked at him that way, I knew how it felt.

Elsie listened to the story attentively even though she heard it before. Sometimes she even whispered the words with me. I wanted it to last forever, but eventually, she fell asleep. I wished she never slept. We were only here for three days, after all.

At least she was happy. I didn’t trust my father one bit, but at least he liked her. I looked at her sweet face as she slept, hugging the black cat plushie Valerio got her, and wished she would never have to go through what I have gone through. I wanted the best life for her.

I was not sure if I could give her everything, but I was sure I would try with all my might.

While I was playing with her soft hair and watching her sweet face, the door opened slowly. I looked up to see Valerio tiptoeing inside. When he looked down at her sleeping form, an affectionate smile formed on his face. Every time she showed his love for Elsie, he gave me a little bit more hope for the future.

He sat down slowly at the other end of the bed and softly touched Elsie’s chubby cheek. “She is a sweet kid.”

I nodded. “She is.”

For a second, both of us remained silent, just watching her, but then Valerio asked, “Ready to go back to the hotel?”

Something clogged my throat. I looked down at Elsie with longing. I knew she was already asleep, but I had never been away from her this long. I missed her, and I wanted every moment I could get. “Can we stay for a bit longer?”

“You want to sleep with her, right?”

“Yes,” I said softly. “I didn’t have the chance for a long time.”

Valerio nodded. “Then we’ll stay.” And he laid down on the bed, just the other side of Elsie, with his clothes and shoes.

“Really?” I asked. It was way too easy. I honestly found it weird how he made my life both easier and harder at the same time.

“Really.”

I looked down at his feet, still in his shoes and kind of dangling from the side of the bed. “Are you going to sleep like that?”
