Ky laughed. “Sis, let’s get you to bed before you’re in as much trouble as I am.”
“Great idea,” Brock agreed. “Let’s go, girls.”
They went back to the lodge and escorted Kierra to her room, and Brock made sure she was comfortable before taking Ky by the hand and leading her to their room. Once they were there, he sat on the couch and pulled her into his lap.
“Should I order up some snacks for you, Ky?”
“Nah. We have apple juice in the mini fridge, and some other stuff to munch on if I get hungry.”
She stretched and he rubbed her shoulders, as if he knew they sometimes hurt after she played her guitar for that long, even though she hadn’t told him.
“Did you have a good time performing tonight?” he asked her.
“It was my favorite performance ever!” she said, meaning it down to her soul. “And you know why? Because I had you there with me and now you’re my Daddy and that made it perfect. You and Kierra, both. It was the best thing ever!”
“I’m so glad, baby. And Ky? That song? When did you write it?”
She snuggled into him, pressing her cheek against his shoulder as her heart surged with joy. He was so strong and protective, so gorgeous and sexy, and she loved that she could feel both Little and Big with him at the same time. It was something new for her.
“I wrote it a few months ago when I was on the road. Even though Richard was with me, I think I knew. I knew that you were the one I wanted to be with, but I couldn’t say anything. And I had no idea if you thought of me as anything but your job, which is probably why I’ve always been so extra bratty with you. Well, I am a brat sometimes; I know that. And sometimes it’s just fun, but it was also sort of a way to protect myself from my feelings, you know?”
“That makes a lot of sense. I never knew. I never thought you would be mine. I wanted you, though. Always. But you weren’t single, and I was hired to guard you, not fall in love with you, so I stuffed my feelings.”
“I always knew you cared,” she said, looking into his eyes.
“I always did. I’ve loved you for a long time, whether I wanted to admit it or not.”
“I think I’ve always loved you in some way, but it’s really changed and grown a lot, especially since we got here. You’ve taken such good care of me through all of this.”
“I always will, baby.”
“Always?”
He was quiet for a minute. Then he said, “Always, Ky. For as long as you want me to.”
“Oh, I am always gonna want you to. You’re my Daddy,” she said, burrowing into his neck and breathing him in. “My first real Daddy, but I know there’s not a better one for me in the whole entire world.”
“I feel the same, baby. I do.”
“Good,” she said, lifting her face for a kiss.
He pressed his lips to hers, then wrapped a big hand around the back of her neck and pulled her in close as he deepened the kiss. Her body was so filled with need for him she thought she might explode, just like the fireworks, in a shower of fiery glitter.
He pulled back and his voice was deep and a little rough. “Are you sleepy, babygirl?”
“Not even close.”
He grinned at her in a way that had her blood running hot. “I was really hoping you’d say that.”
