“Adorable,” I said in a voice deepened by the lust burning inside of me.

Fuck, I wanted her so damn bad, and I’d barely known her a day. Time had given me the wisdom to know that a woman like her only came around once in a lifetime. Every greedy, male instinct inside of me demanded that I stake my claim before anyone else could take her from me.

No, I reminded myself. You will go slow. You will show her she is worth it. Stop acting like a dipshit who has never gotten his dick wet. If you want to win this treasure, you need help to slay some of her demons first.

“Thank you,” she said in a whisper, and I could see the flush creeping up from her chest to her neck.

Giving her curls one last tug, I stepped away and reminded myself that tonight wasn’t about me and what I wanted.

It was all about Nora, and what she needed—a Daddy who would both worship and protect his princess while giving her the freedom to explore and grow.

“I—yes, I’d like a cup of coffee,” she mumbled. The mask hid her cheeks, but her blush showed on her neck and chest.

Her nipples poked against the no doubt soft material of her sparkly unicorn half t-shirt and I had to clear my throat as I forced myself to say, “I thought you might like to take a quick tour, then we can get a drink and talk.”

A little bit of fire danced through her eyes, and her pink frosted lips curved in an impish smile. “Just talk, huh? What if I want to do more than talk?”

I leaned down, then slowly ran my nose along the side of her neck, drinking in the sweet perfume she wore, and beneath that, her natural scent which made my dick twitch. Soft—her skin was so exceptionally soft—and I found myself pausing with my lips less than an inch from her sharp little jawline. Her breath came out in a soft shudder, and I smiled as the knowledge that I affected her as much as she affected me gave me a deep sense of satisfaction.

“If you agree to go out there with Master Skyler, you will be agreeing to follow my rules in public.”

Instantly, she grew hesitant and took an uneasy step back in her cute little sneakers with their sparkling pink laces. “What rules?”

Holding up my hands, I gave her some space as I said, “Nothing crazy. You will call me Master Skyler, or Sir, and you will behave in a manner that is worthy of a princess.”

She leaned forward, suspicion tightening her lips. “That’s it?”

Deciding once again honesty was the best path, I simply said, “Yes, that’s it. If we were in a relationship or doing a scene, those rules would change. But, for right now, no bratting out, got it?”

Her shoulders relaxed, then she shifted so her hips were cocked to the side as she crossed her arms over her chest, pouting a little. “You’re no fun.”

“Oh, sweet baby girl,” I growled, everything in me straining against my will to just take her, consequences be damned. “You have no idea how much fun I can be.”

Her thighs clenched, her nipples pressed even tighter behind her thin t-shirt, but her voice came out rough as she said, “Oh, I have a pretty good guess.”

Lord have mercy, but did her muscled runner’s legs look good in those fucking shorts. I wanted to slip my tongue along the edge right at the crease of her butt and leg, feel the contrast between the satiny cloth and smooth skin. I wanted to lick until I found out for myself if what her friend had yelled about getting a Brazilian was true. I’d been watching her arrival on our security cameras, my nose practically pressed to the screen as she’d stepped out of Tawny’s car.

“Like what you see?” she asked with a bit of sass in her tone that I enjoyed.

“Absolutely,” I said with complete sincerity. “You’re spectacular.”

Embarrassment and discomfort seemed to radiate from her as she mumbled, “Thanks.”

Closing the distance between us, because I couldn’t seem to stop touching her, I lifted her chin with my fingertip so her eyes would meet mine. I used the stern voice submissives seemed to respond to when I said, “You are beautiful, Nora. I hope someday you’ll believe it.”

That stubborn spark flared in her gaze again as she muttered, “I thought we weren’t supposed to use real names?”

“Out there,” I jerked my chin in the direction of my door, “I am Master Skyler to you, my sweet girl. But here, with just the two of us, I am always Tyler.”

“Skyler, Tyler…” She gave me a cute frown. “I hope I don’t mess it up.”

“If you do, I’ll have to spank you—but then again, that wouldn’t exactly be punishment, would it? As I recall, you have a fondness for spanking.”
