Instead of our SUV pulling up to Declan’s, though. We continue down the paved road for nearly a mile to another house. It’s not as gigantic but still big and breathtakingly beautiful.

“Welcome home, baby,” Killian says.

I look to him with raised brows. We hadn’t talked about what would happen once we returned to Seattle, but I know deep in my soul I don’t want to live anywhere but with him. He’s my home now.

“You live here?”

He smiles and nods. “I spend most of my time at Declan’s. At least I did up until now. But yeah, this is my house. Our house. It’s yours too.”

Tears well in my eyes. I’ve never lived in a house. All my life, we were bounced from one shitty apartment to another. It wasn’t until Cali and I grew up and lived on our own that we stayed in one place for longer than a year. The apartment we had together wasn’t shitty, but it certainly wasn’t the gorgeous home in front of me.

“Come on, Little one. We’ll talk more tomorrow. For tonight, I want to get you in the bath and then make love to you until the sun comes up.”

My mouth drops open as I stare at him. Did he just say he wanted to make love to me? My filthy-mouthed man?

He leads me inside. I can’t stop looking around as we make our way up a flight of stairs into a huge bedroom with French doors and high ceilings. I can tell by the smell of the room alone that this is his. Citrus, mint, and musk.

The bathroom is nearly as big as the bedroom, and the tub is basically a pool. I wonder if it’s big enough to store our piranhas in when we get them. I’ll have to show my sister.

While the water runs, he undresses me, inspecting every inch of my body for bruises.

“Daddy, I’m fine,” I insist, not for the first time.

His eyes are pained as he continues his search. I have a few scratches on my legs and some bruises, but they’re from navigating the mountain more than anything else.

“I didn’t protect you. You’re never leaving my sight again,” he murmurs.

He’s on his knees in front of me. I slide my hands over his cheeks and tilt his head back to look at me.

“You did protect me. You saved me. Over and over you’ve saved me. No one has ever fought for me or loved me the way you do.”

“I’m still never letting you out of my sight.”

Even though I want to make a wisecrack, I keep my lips zipped. I can see the pain and guilt on his face. Making light of it won’t help. Right now, he needs my obedience, so I nod.

“Okay, Daddy.”

The hot water is heaven for my sore muscles. I lie back against the headrest and close my eyes for a brief second. Killian’s hand running over my body startles me at first, but when I realize he’s washing me, I relax and trust him with my care. It’s such a freeing feeling.

He runs the washcloth over my skin, cleaning every inch of me. When he comes to my breasts, he cups one then switches to the other, giving each nipple a gentle pinch. I arch my chest into his palm.

“You’re so beautiful, Scarlet. So beautiful and all mine.”

I nod. “All yours, Daddy.”

A sharper pinch to one of my nipples makes me cry out as I clench my thighs together. He runs his index finger down my sternum until he reaches my lower abdomen.

“Spread your legs wide open, baby, and don’t close them again.”

I shudder as I obey. Since he didn’t put any bubbles in the water, I’m on full display. Heat spreads over my cheeks. He dips his finger lower until it brushes against my clit, causing me to jolt.

“Mmm.”

The corners of his mouth tug back slightly. “You like that, baby? You like Daddy playing with your pretty pink pussy? You’re so needy, aren’t you?”

“Yessss. Please, Daddy,” I whine as I move my hips to search for more friction from his fingers.

“That’s it, baby. You want to ride my fingers until you come apart for me? Huh? Is that what my naughty girl needs?”
