I yawned and nodded. "Good idea." My eyes fluttered shut, and I rested my head against his chest. "Night, Daddy. Love you."
"Love you too,kroshka."
Something tickled my nose, and I batted it away sleepily as a groan rumbled in my chest.
“Go away.” I grabbed the blanket to pull it over my head. I like to wake up on my own time, thank you very much.
"Charlotte."
The stern voice saying my name made me open my eyes and glance at the bed next to me.
Kaleb lounged next to me, looking as polished and put together as ever as he laid on his side with his head propped up on his bent elbow. "Morning, sleepy head."
He was entirely too chipper when I hadn't had coffee yet.
"Fifteen more minutes," I grumbled sleepily, shutting my eyes and trying to roll over.
"No can do, baby girl." Kaleb grasped the blankets and flung them from my body.
The chill on my skin made me gasp and curl up into a ball. "Meanie. Such a meanie." I shivered as I scooted closer to him, trying to get his warmth despite calling him a meanie. If he'd keep me warm, then he wouldn't be such a meanie after all.
"There's coffee waiting for you in the bathroom."
I glanced up at him, my eyes narrowing into slits. "I'm listening."
"Remember, Andrei told you that you could go to work today to get caught up on things."
I was so pathetic letting them bribe me with things like going into the office.
"We like bribing you with other things, too." His deep voice made goosebumps erupt on my skin as a wave of arousal tingled between my legs. "I can think of a lot better things than work or coffee."
Those hazel green eyes darkened as they lazily trailed over my body, taking in every inch of my skin.
It took me a moment to realize I was still cold because he'd ripped the blankets from my body just mere moments before.
My lips parted, and I wiggled closer, soaking in his warmth. Just as our lips were about to connect, he placed a finger on them and shook his head.
"Sorry, baby girl." Those damn lips that I would much rather be kissing right now twisted up into a smile. "If we want to be on time and please those slave-driver bosses of yours, we need to get you in the shower and dressed."
With a laugh, he rolled off the bed and clapped his hands together. "Up and at 'em."
"Such a meanie."
CHAPTER 18
Kaleb
Lottie had been muttering meanie under her breath and shooting daggers at Andrei and I with her eyes until we pulled into the drive-thru of Dutch Bros.
"Yay!" She brightened and wiggled in her seat.
Andrei shook his head and barely contained his laughter. "How did I know this would cheer you up and make you stop calling us meanies?"
Lottie twisted her lips to the side, looking utterly adorable as she thought about it. "Because you know my great love of coffee and Dutch Bros?"
"No more calling us meanies, got it, little girl?" I murmured in her ear. My teeth sank into the tender flesh, and she inhaled sharply. "Daddy isn't going to be so understanding in the future. We respect our Daddies."
She looked up at me, devastation lingering in her big blue eyes. Her bottom lip trembled as she lifted a hand to touch my chest. "I didn't mean anything. I was teasing. Please don't be mad at me?"
