Chapter 12
Enchanted by her sweet face, Caden allowed himself to stay in bed for several long minutes to watch Brooklyn sleep.
Having her here was a dream come true. Sure, there were complications, like her panic last night, but when didn’t a relationship have a few bumps?
He couldn’t believe he had fallen so hard and so fast, but here he was in love with this incredible woman.
“Mmm,” she murmured and rubbed her cheek on the pillow.
Caden eased himself away, wanting her to sleep in much later than his internal clock had alerted him.
He held his breath as he pulled a drawer open a couple of inches to grab a pair of sleep pants.
After pausing at the door to glance back at the adorable sight of her holding her bunny under her chin, Caden quietly closed the door before stepping into the garment he held.
Soon, he sat on the couch, scrolling through his phone as he drank a glass of milk. Caden didn’t own a coffeemaker. He didn’t see the point in one. A brisk run woke him up much faster than caffeine.
The sun shone brightly into the room when he checked the clock again, wondering how long she would sleep.
A quiet yawn drew his attention to the hallway.
Brooklyn stood framed in the opening with the comforter wrapped around her like an oversized hoodie.
Caden tossed his phone onto the end table and opened his arms.
“Come here, Brookie.”
She walked slowly over to him and climbed onto his lap. “Daddy, you left me in bed.”
“You and Fluffikins were sleeping so well. I didn’t want to wake you.”
“I missed you.”
“That’s so sweet. I missed you too. We have the whole day together. What shall we do? There’s a great zoo here in town. I could give you a tour of the base. Maybe you’d rather go shopping?”
“I’d love to see the base, but I’d rather do something else,” she whispered, peeking up at him.
“Okay. What would you like to do?”
“The girls said they have pacifiers…”
Caden smiled at her. He loved that she had enjoyed her time with the other Littles. Brooklyn had obviously decided that she was comfortable talking to them. Caden would have to thank Aspen, Pippa, and Giana for welcoming his Little.
“I have some in your nursery. Shall I go grab one for you?”
“Okay…”
Something in her tone told him he wasn’t understanding her. Did she not want a pacifier? “You had something else in mind?”
“Um…”
“You can tell me anything, little girl. What’s wrong?”
“Can I suck on your cock?” she blurted.
Instantly, his shaft twitched and stiffened. “Daddy would love to feel your mouth wrapped around my cock, Brookie.”
She wiggled against him, drawing a groan from his lips when her full bottom rubbed his growing erection. He reached out to wrap his hands around her waist, steadying her.
Brooklyn studied him with a puzzled expression. “Daddy, I can’t get on my knees if you’re holding on to me. Here. You hold Fluffikins.”
He accepted the stuffed bunny that she handed him.
To his delight, she sank to the floor in front of him.
Shrugging her shoulders, she dropped the comforter back to the floor to reveal her beautifully nude form.
Caden clamped down on his arousal as the sight of his temptress.
Brooklyn ran her hands over his inner thighs and tugged his tented sleep pants tight.
“Take these off,” she demanded, untying the thin garment and looking at him as if he wasn’t following the rules for blowjobs.
Caden elected not to ask questions. He lifted his hips and pushed the thin material down.
Brooklyn tugged them to his ankles and unlooped the fabric from around one foot.
She pushed his legs apart and settled between them.
Caden forced himself to breathe as he mentally thanked whoever had created the process Brooklyn followed.
I need to read her romance novels.
Her gaze felt physical as she scanned his body. She reached out to rub her hands over his stomach. Caden didn’t think he could get any harder as her fingers inched closer to his cock. He scooted his hips down to the edge of the couch to encourage her.
“Thank you, Daddy,” she said politely and trailed her fingers through his pubic hair. When she tugged at a few of the strands, Caden knew he was in trouble.
“Little girl…” Words disappeared from his brain when she leaned forward to lick from the base of his jutting shaft to the tip.
Light flicks of her fingernails followed that trail as Brooklyn opened her lips to exhale a hot stream of air over his now damp cock.
A split second later, her mouth surrounded him, and her hand wrapped around his shaft to hold his erection steady.
Caden’s hands tightened around the soft fur of the bunny in his hands. His one last functional brain cell warned him not to harm the stuffie. He set it on the cushion next to him and grabbed the edge of the couch seat as she sucked on his cock as if it were the pacifier she’d mentioned earlier.
Her sweet sounds of enjoyment rocked him as she swirled her tongue over his skin.
Her fingers squeezed him at different intervals, keeping him on edge and unable to anticipate what she would do next.
Caden’s eyes rolled back in his head when she dipped her head closer, taking him deeper into her throat.
“Baby,” he whispered, forcing his hand from the cushion to brush the hair back from her face. He needed to see everything. “That’s so good.”
She hummed around his shaft. The vibration pushed his arousal even higher. He wouldn’t last long. That amazing mouth would quickly defeat his control.
Air gusted from his lips as she traced one fingertip down to his balls. Like an abstract artist, she drew a pattern on the tightly wound globes. Just when he thought he’d lose it, Brooklyn pressed her finger to that small space between his sac and his clenched opening.
With a roar, Caden drove his hips forward as he emptied himself into the heat of her mouth. Brooklyn continued to caress him until he collapsed back on the couch. Caden lifted his arms toward her.
“Come here, little girl. I need to hold you.”
Moving carefully, she straddled his pelvis and allowed Caden to pull her down on his chest. “Did I do good, Daddy?”
“No, sweetheart. You totally blew my mind. That’s way beyond good. I’d rate that as phenomenal.”
“I loved tasting you.”
He thought she’d burned out all his arousal energy. That four-word sentence revived him. “You did, hmmm?”
She licked her lips. A picture of her sucking on a pacifier popped into his mind. He had to get his little girl a pretty pacifier. Watching her mouth move on it would always remind him of the first time she’d requested to give him a blowjob.
“Daddy, do you think you could grow to love me? You know, the real kind of love that lasts for years?”
He leaned forward to kiss her hard, showing her the emotions inside him—passion, caring, and most of all, love. When he lifted his mouth from hers, Brooklyn lifted a shaking hand to press her fingers to her lips.
“Brooklyn, I don’t have to think about tumbling head over heels for you. You’ve already carved a spot in my heart. I love you, sweetheart.”
“Really?” she whispered, searching his face as if to ensure he wasn’t making something up. A tear rolled down her cheek, and he kissed it away.
“I think you stole my heart when I met you on base. You were petrified, but you’d stepped in to help a stranger.”
“I know what it’s like to have a predator after you and be alone.”
“You aren’t alone anymore, little girl.” He wondered if she would be brave enough to tell him that she loved him. Caden didn’t doubt that she cared deeply for him as well. Their connection was too strong for her to feel any other way.
“Thank you for loving me, Daddy. I… I need to tell you something,” she confessed.
A flare of panic zinged through him. Had he misunderstood her reaction to him?
He could see the concern etched on her face.
“You’re safe here, little girl. You can tell me anything.
” Mentally, he crossed his fingers. Caden would be crushed if she chose to stay with him simply to remain safe from Brent.
“I knew you loved me. My heart told me you did.”
“How did your heart share that news?” he asked, completely charmed.
“Your heart beats slowly and steadily. When I’m with you, my heart tries to match yours. If I’m close to you, our heartbeats synchronize. You try.” She grabbed his hand and pressed it between her breasts.
Focused on his hand, Caden waited for her heart to settle after her motion. His gaze rebounded to her face after a short time. “That’s amazing. How did you ever notice this?”
“Because my heart goes pitter-patter when I see you. Then when I’m in your arms, it either goes crazy,” she waggled her eyebrows suggestively, “or it gets calm. I think my heart has decided I’m safe with you.”
That last statement told him all he needed. Brent had made her life hell for way too long. “I’m glad you’re happy with me, little girl.”
“More than happy. Being with you feels right for the first time. I love you too, Daddy.”
Caden cupped her face with his hand and drew her lips to his. He kissed her with the love in his heart, and her pulse quickened. Drawing back slightly, he whispered, “I’ll need you to tell me you love me a lot, Brookie.”
“A thousand times a day,” she promised.
“That might be enough.” Caden hugged her close. How had he gotten so lucky to find Brooklyn?
