Chapter Twelve
Fuck, this sweet little woman couldn’t be more innocent, and it made him nervous. He’d have to take his time and patience to get her used to his touch and having his fingers, tongue, and cock inside of her.
He saw her face pale and knew she was in pain again. He’d wait until it passed before he got her into the bathroom to change into a pad, and then he’d deal with her pain.
It felt like an hour instead of the minute it took for her to relax, and every second that went by was excruciating for him to see her in pain. “How about we get you changed?”
He almost smiled when she looked horrified. “I’ll just help you into the bathroom and then give you some privacy. How’s that?”
She exhaled and nodded. “Yes, Daddy.”
Damn, every time she called him that, it made him feel contentment at the same time, he fell deeper in love with her.
Thomas lifted her and made sure she was steady before helping her to the bathroom. He encouraged her to sit on the toilet seat. “I’ll be right back.”
He grabbed the pads he’d set on the nightstand and brought them into her room, and set them on the counter. “Are you okay to do this by yourself?”
Angel nodded.
“Okay. Call out if you need me. I’ll be in the bedroom.” He walked out and closed the door. He hurried to plug in the heating pad and position it close to where she would be lying.
He stood by the door, waiting. When she finally opened the door, he was there to steady her and get her back into bed. He rolled her to her side away from him before taking off his boots and lying against her back.
Thomas set the pad on her midsection before covering them both up. “Tell me if this gets too hot, baby.”
She hummed and relaxed against him.
When she started to tense, he pressed the pad harder against her stomach, and it seemed to help.
Her breathing deepened. “What did you give me?”
“Muscle relaxants. Daisy had some leftover from when she hurt her hip. They’re a low dose.
When you’re ready, I’m going to make an appointment with a gynecologist and see if there is anything we can do to prevent you from having this kind of pain again.
We’ll also talk to the doctor about birth control. ”
“I never thought of that. I don’t want a man for a doctor.”
“I know, baby. I’ll find a good female one for you. We’ll tell her about your inexperience, too, so she’s aware of it.”
Angel nodded, sighed, and was asleep within the next second. He started to worry he might have given her too much, but then remembered Daisy telling him it was a very low dose, and two pills wouldn’t hurt her, but it would definitely help with the pain, and that’s what he wanted.
He planned on staying with her until she felt better. When she woke up, he’d go down and get them some food. He didn’t want her to miss a single meal. She had put on a few pounds, so she no longer looked emaciated, but she could still stand to gain another fifteen to twenty pounds.
He was surprised he’d fallen asleep. He never took naps, so he guessed holding her calmed him enough to relax sufficiently to rest.
Thomas glanced at the window and determined it was late afternoon. After checking to make sure she was still sleeping deeply, he carefully rolled out of bed and headed down to the kitchen.
Daisy was at the stove when he strolled in.
“How’s our girl?” Daisy asked.
“Much better. She’s sleeping deeply right now.”
Daisy nodded. “Good. That’s what she needs.”
“I thought I’d grab some food and take it upstairs.”
“I made chicken salad sandwiches, and I cut up some fruit. Everything you need is in the refrigerator.”
“That sounds good. Thank you,” he said before he started pulling things out and setting them on the tray Daisy had put on the counter next to the refrigerator.
“I’ll probably be upstairs for the rest of the night. If there are any problems, have the guys call up to the room.”
“I’ll do that. You just concentrate on getting that sweet girl better.”
Thomas smiled and lifted the tray. “That’s my plan.”
He gently closed the bedroom door before setting the tray on the nightstand. He sat down next to her hip and rolled her onto her back. “Baby, wake up for me.”
It took a few more times before she blinked and then opened her eyes. He could tell she was still feeling the effects of the pills. “I want you to eat what you can, and then you can go back to sleep.”
“I’m not hungry,” she said.
“I know. But you will feel better with something in your stomach.”
“I’ll try.”
“Good girl. Let me help you sit up.” He lifted her and situated her back against the headboard. When he thought she was comfortable, he set the tray on the mattress close to her.
“Daisy made one of my favorites. I think you’ll like it.”
He handed her a fourth of a sandwich and watched as she took her first bite. He smiled when she looked surprised.
“This is very good,” Angel said. “What is it?”
“Chicken salad.”
“I’ve never had this before.” She kept eating until she’d consumed half a sandwich.
He ate her other half and then his own. They both finished off the fruit. He was pleased with how much she was able to eat.
“How about a bathroom break to go potty and brush your teeth? You should check the pad, too?”
“Yes, please.”
She was unsteady on her feet, so he helped her into the bathroom and to the toilet. “I’ll give you a minute to pee, but call out to me when you’re done.”
Angel nodded.
He gathered up the remnants of their meal, set it on the tray, and put it on the dresser by the bedroom door.
“I’m done,” she called out.
Thomas walked in to see her leaning against the counter. He maneuvered her in front of the sink. “Wash your hands.”
One of his arms came around her midsection to hold her steady, and he waited for her to finish brushing her teeth.
“Let’s get you back into bed.”
“Okay.”
Her eyelids were already drooping when he settled her onto the mattress. “I’m going to shower, but I won’t be long.”
“It’s still daylight. You don’t have to stay here with me. I’m sure you have things to do.”
He sat beside her hip and cupped her face in his hand. “Baby, there is no way I’m leaving you when you don’t feel well.”
“But...”
“No buts. You have to let your daddy take care of you. You can do that, right?” he asked.
She nodded. “Yes, Daddy.”
His smile widened. “I love it when you call me that.”
“I’m glad.”
He pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Rest, and I’ll be back in a few minutes. Call out if you need me.”
“Okay, Daddy.”
It physically hurt to move away from her, so he hurried through his shower and pulled on a pair of night pants. He closed the drapes and turned off the lights before he slid into bed. He rolled her to her side and spooned her with his body.
He listened to her deep breathing for several minutes, and he couldn’t believe how content it made him.
He knew other men who had littles and had listened to them talk about the girls, thinking they were exaggerating, but now he knew what they had told him was true.
If you found the right woman, she would change your life and make you happier than you ever thought possible.
Now, he could never see his life without her, and he would do whatever he needed to keep her with him.
