“Okay, babygirl, you can lay back now,” he said gently.
Without a word, Carri flopped back and went still. Rooker undid her jeans before pulling them off her legs. Once they were off, she rolled to her side and pulled her knees to her chest once more.
“Here’s your friend, babygirl,” he said, placing the hedgehog into her free hand.
“Hector,” she breathed as she pulled the stuffie into her chest and wrapped both arms around it.
Pulling the covers over her, he tucked her in. He took a moment to fold her clothes and place them on the dresser beside the pile of clean clothes. Returning to the side of the bed, he brushed a kiss on her forehead. “Good night, Carri. Have sweet dreams and Daddy will see you in the morning.”
“Night, Daddy,” she murmured softly in return.
Rooker felt his heart melt as his cock stiffened at her sweet words. He only wished she would call him Daddy when she was awake. But that would come. In time. He just had to be patient.
Leaving the guest room door open halfway, Rooker strolled down the hall to his own bedroom. He left his own door wide open so he could hear her if she needed him. Stripping as he crossed the bedroom, he tossed his clothes into the hamper as they left his body.
After a quick shower, he dressed in a pair of navy-blue flannel sleep pants covered with llamas wearing Santa hats. They had been a Christmas gift the previous year from the store’s secret Santa exchange.
After one last trip down the hall to check on Carri, Rooker forced himself to return to his own room. Though tempted tojoin Carri in her bed, or bring her back to his, he forced himself into bed alone.
They still needed to talk about Daddy/Little girl relationships and whether she would be interested in spending time with him as his Little. Maybe he would invite her to come home with him again the next night and the night after that. They could start exploring the possibilities and see where things went from there.
He only hoped Carri was looking for a long-term relationship with a Daddy who was firm when it came to the rules, but marshmallow-squishy the rest of the time.
Chapter Six
Carri opened her eyes and found herself looking at a fuzzy purple hedgehog butt.
Leaning forward slightly, she kissed it with a giggle. “Good morning, Hector.”
Rolling to her back, she froze when she realized she was not in her bedroom. Sitting up, she looked around, but she had no idea where she was. Panic began to build as she pulled Hector into her chest. Then she looked down at herself and frowned. How had she gotten into her nightshirt?
“Where are we, Hector?” she whispered.
“You’re at home with Daddy,” a deep voice said from just outside the half-open door across the room.
A moment later, the door swung open and Rooker walked in. He wore jeans with a deep-red polo shirt with a logo over his heart. He looked delicious, and whatever was in the two mugs he held smelled really good.
Carri frowned as memories of the night before slowly filtered back in. “What happened last night? I remember arriving at your house and sitting on a rocking chair outside… I think.”
“You fell asleep. I brought you in and put you to bed.”
Carri’s frown deepened as she tried to remember. “You put me to bed? Did you also change me into this?” She pulled on the shoulder of her nightshirt.
Instead of answering, Rooker crossed to the side of the bed and handed her one of the mugs. Holding it under her nose, Carri breathed deep.
Hot chocolate.
How did he know she preferred hot chocolate to coffee?
Taking a sip, she smiled. Chocolate milk deliciousness that was just the right temperature. Another sip had her closing her eyes and giving a moaning sigh.
“Good, huh?” Rooker asked as he sat down on the bed beside her hip.
“Uh-huh. So good.”
Rooker chuckled, but she was not sure if it was at her words, or her tone. She didn’t care. A gorgeous man had just delivered the best hot chocolate she’d ever wrapped her tongue around to her while she was still in bed.
Question was, what would he want in return? Did he want her to get down on the floor and suck him off? Or lay back, spread her legs, and let him fuck her?
