“Like?” She stared around. “No, I don’t like it. I love it. It’s magical. Amazing.”
“I wanted you to have a special place in your new home. Somewhere you could nestle in.”
“My. . .my new home?” Did that mean what she thought it did? She turned in his arm to gape at him. “Does that mean you’re asking me to move in with you?”
His grinned. “Shit, no. Not asking, baby girl. Not gonna take the risk of you saying no.”
“I would never say no,” she whispered.
“So it’s a yes?”
Hell yes. “It’s a yes.”
He picked her up and twirled her around in the air with a whoop. She giggled and held onto his shoulders with her free arm, holding tight to both of her dragons. He kissed her and she melted into him. Hmm, maybe it would be a good idea for him to show her that master suite.
He drew back and looked down at stuffed toy in her arm. “So, what are you going to name him?”
She looked down at the slightly goofy looking, green dragon.
“I think I’ll name him Prince Charming.”
He threw his head back and burst into laughter.
Epilogue
She poked her tongue between her lips as she laid out the foundation for her pirate ship.
A plate was set down on the coffee table by her elbow, but she didn’t look up. Had to get this just right. . .
“Sugar, time for a snack,” Jed’s deep rumble reached her.
She flicked her gaze over to the sandwich that he’d used a cookie cutter to cut into star shapes. He was always doing stuff like this. And she really got a kick out of this big, gruff guy cutting her sandwiches into shapes.
She wrinkled her nose as she noticed the whole wheat bread. “Daddy, the bread has seeds in it.”
“I know. It’s healthy for you.”
She heaved a big sigh.
“Do we need to have a chat about your health again, little girl?” That rumble had grown deeper.
Nope. They did not need to have that chat again. Mostly because that chat ended up with her over his knee getting her bottom warmed. She snatched up one of the stars and took a bite. Ham, cheese and mayo. Yum. Although she wouldn’t tell Daddy that.
After he’d moved her into his house at Sanctuary, which hadn’t been that long after he’d shown her his house at Sanctuary, he’d taken her to Doc to get a check-up.
What Doc lacked in bedside manners, he made up for in thoroughness. And he’d been none too pleased by her weight, her blood test results or the fact she hadn’t been to a dentist in years.
Neither had Jed. Which had resulted in a trip to the dentist, where she’d had to sit on the chair with a hot bottom, because she had vehemently protested visiting the dentist, and in such a way that Jed had made use of her bad girl paddle once more. A bad girl paddle that now hung on the wall of her special Little girl bedroom. Which she loved. Her room that is. The paddle, not so much. Nor did she particularly like the naps Jed made her take daily. But she had to admit between the diet plan that Doc had created for her in order for her to slowly build up her health and all the rest she was getting, plus all this care and attention from Jed, she felt amazing.
Now, if she could just get rid of that paddle. . .
She’d lived here with Jed for six weeks now. She worked when he did, and when he was home, she spent a lot of time as Little Daisy. It was amazing to not have to worry about everything, not to make all the decisions. It was like she was getting a second chance at a childhood. Only this time, she had the world’s best daddy and the sexiest hunk imaginable, who gave her amazing
orgasms.
Yep. Life was sweet.
Mostly.
