He left her lying there while he padded into the kitchen to fill a sippy cup with formula. She needed calories as well as fluid.The next time he fed her would be by bottle. She would be so sated and tired as she moved into the transitional phase before her shift that she wouldn’t likely balk by then.
When he returned, she was exactly where he’d left her. She hadn’t even pulled her knees together. She was a vision, sated and relaxed enough that she was uninhibited.
Her pin-straight, almost black hair fanned around her, making her look ethereal. In fact, he froze in his spot and took several moments to stare at her, soaking in her radiance.
She was his. Forever. He finally had his mate in his home. After years of waiting and watching some of his friends and even his brother claim their mates, he’d claimed his own. It nearly brought him to his knees.
The coming hours would be a frenzy of sex and caring for her until he helped her through her first shift. Afterward, they would sleep hard for hours, but this moment…
He wanted to memorize this picture.
“Gavin…” Her sweet voice called to him.
He climbed up to sit with his back against the headboard and patted his lap. He was still wearing his dress pants. They would stay on until she was certain she wanted him to expose his cock. That did not have to be tonight, but he suspected she wasn’t going to be put off.
“Come, Little one. Let me feed you.”
She rolled onto all fours and crawled over to him. “What did you bring me to drink?”
“Formula, Little one. It has all the nutrition you need for times when sitting at the table eating solid foods isn’t the best option.”
“Is that what you fed me from a bottle earlier?”
“Yes, and I’ll feed you several bottles throughout the night. But I thought you might prefer a sippy cup this time.” He helped her settle on his lap and leaned her back slightly in his arms.
She took the cup from him and examined it before taking a sip. “Mmm. Not bad.”
“You’ll learn to crave it at times, Baby girl, especially when you feel very Little and want Daddy to take care of you in every way.”
She stared at him as she drank.
He knew the ways of his people were foreign and took some getting used to, but she was adjusting well so far. At least she wasn’t in a panic over his plans to care for her.
In minutes, she drained the cup and handed it to him. “I guess I was thirsty.”
He reached to set it on the nightstand.
Molly looked down at herself. “I can’t believe I’m naked.”
He slid a hand up her hip and continued until he cupped her small breast.
She moaned at the contact, arched into his palm, and grabbed his wrist. Her small fingers inadvertently touched his mark, making her gasp as her eyes went wide.
Gaze on his, she licked her lips. “I want more, Daddy.”
“Okay, Little one.” He would not deny her. He couldn’t. His cock had been hard for hours. It was painfully tight in his pants as he forced it to wait.
“Will you take the rest of your clothes off?”
“Are you ready for that?” He thumbed her nipple.
“Yes,” she breathed out.
Gavin lifted her off his lap and set her on the bed before sliding off the side.
She spun to face him and rose onto her knees near the edge, his eager Little girl, uninhibited. Patiently waiting.
Keeping his gaze on her face, he removed his pants, taking his briefs with them.
