Andrei’s brows rose as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Mykroshkaknows the truth of that.”
Seconds ticked by, and slowly, a smile formed on his face, and Lottie giggled. “I laugh at myself when I’m not wanting to hit my head against the wall.”
That effectively silenced the laughter.
“Not hitting your head on anything.” I pinned her with my gaze. “We don’t care how off the wall or out of the blue a thought is. We don’t mind hearing it. Unless it involves you harming yourself or putting yourself down. Alright?”
“Okay.” She nodded, her head looking a bit like a bobblehead. “Sorry, Daddy C.”
I hugged her to me and kissed her forehead. “No sorries, little one. You’ve done nothing wrong. We’re all still learning about each other. Just because we know what’s in our hearts doesn’t mean we’ve found out everything in our brains.”
“Good way of putting it.” Kaleb dropped a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it before turning his attention to our still very naked Little.
She was pressed against me, but it didn’t hide her ample curves.
"We have the rest of our lives to explore everything." I kissed my way down her neck. "We'll fight. There's little doubt about that. People in relationships do that; if they don't, they need to talk to someone."
Another giggle. I loved it when I could make her laugh or smile. Everything about her brightened when she did. Our ray of sunshine.
"But we'll also live and love. That's the important part of life. Enjoying it by really living."
"And this is why he's the professor with the fancy words." Andrei nodded. His posture had relaxed, and there was a hint of a smile on his face. He was waiting to tell us more about his conversation with Sergei with him present. I was looking forward to meeting the cousin that we heard fondly about.
It was about the only part of Andrei's past he actually spoke about—other than about hisbabushka.
"I love the fancy words." She leaned back and framed my face in her hands. "But I love the growls and other gestures, too. I don't always need the fancy words. They're nice, but actions speak the loudest."
How right she was.
I forced my gaze to focus on her face and not drift down to the ample swell of her breasts against my chest. I could feelher hard nipples on my flesh, and my cock was protesting being confined behind layers of fabric.
"We'll always tell you and show you how much we love and care for you, little one." I smoothed her hair away from her face and splayed my hand over her neck. My thumb skated over her pulse point, rapidly fluttering beneath my touch.
"Thank you," she breathed out, her stormy blue eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "I don't know how I got so lucky."
I smiled, letting true happiness wash over me for the first time in so very long.
"It's us who are the lucky ones."
With that, I gathered her into my arms to lift her up. She squeaked from the sudden movement but wrapped her arms around my neck to cling to me. "Time for your bath, little one. Then bed."
"Yes, Daddy C."
CHAPTER 15
Kaleb
Lottie sat sideways on my lap as I fed her dinner the next evening. In our short time together, I enjoyed these little things, such as feeding her or caring for her needs. Brushing her hair. Helping her dress.
“You guys are spoiling me with all this amazing food.” She laid her head against my shoulder. Her eyes fluttered shut, and I placed the half-empty plate on the end table. I was learning more and more about her. She didn't eat a lot at a time but tended to snack. A nibbler.
Andrei had grilled up steaks and chicken, along with sides of mashed potatoes, corn, and green beans.
"Thank you for the compliment,kroshka."
Her eyes opened, and she gave Andrei a soft smile. "When is Sergei supposed to be coming over?"
Our little one was also inquisitive. She wasn't happy that Andrei hadn't shared what Sergei told him last night.
