He grinned. “Out you come. Daddy promises to defend your buried treasure with his magnificent sword.”

“Oh Lord. The things you say.”

“Three more bites for me, my girl,” he prompted.

She grumbled, but opened up her mouth obediently for a mouthful of oatmeal. She’d always thought oatmeal was the most boring food imaginable. However, Ed put all these nuts and dried fruit on it then a drizzle of honey, which made it actually quite delicious.

But she wouldn’t tell him that.

He blew on another mouthful and fed it to her. He was drinking some awful concoction he’d whipped up in the blender. She had to be grateful that at least she wasn’t being made to drink that.

Georgie was feeling a bit out of sorts today, and couldn’t work out why. Maybe it was because they were going out later. He’d promised to take her shopping. No doubt he thought she’d be excited by that. For some reason, she felt kind of unsure. She wanted to stay here, tucked into this cocoon of safety.

She enjoyed being hidden here with him. She knew it couldn’t last forever. But just a few more days would be nice.

“What’s that pouty look for?” he queried.

“Nothing, Daddy.” She took the final mouthful while he gave her a chiding look. He drank down the rest of his drink.

Yesterday, they’d spent most of the day playing. That night as he’d gotten them both ready for bed, she’d felt light. Like she was floating. If that was what it felt like to not have a million worries weighing her down, then she wanted more.

Only, last night, he’d eaten her pussy then told her to go to sleep. She hadn’t gotten to touch his cock, let alone have him fuck her.

She’d slept on top of him, he wouldn’t hear of her sleeping in any other position. Oh, and she’d had to sleep naked. While he’d had pajama bottoms on. And she’d slept the entire night without a nightmare. This morning, she’d woken with his cock pressed against her pussy. She’d been unable to stop herself. It was reflex to rub herself up and down him.

Unfortunately, that had gotten her a sharp smack on the bottom. Then he’d rolled them over and after a hot and heavy kiss, he’d showered them both, and gotten her dressed in her onesie.

“You know better than that, my girl,” he rumbled.

Shoot.

“Do we have to go shopping?”

“You don’t have enough clothes. Especially comfy clothes. Don’t you want some new things? And toys?”

“Toys?” Hmm. She might want some toys. She tapped her fingers against the counter. “I suppose.”

“What’s the real problem?”

She sighed. “I don’t know. Guess I don’t want to leave the house.”

“I like having you all to myself, but it will be good for you to get out. But I don’t think that’s the only reason you’re in a grouchy mood this morning.”

She folded her arms, pouting. “I’m not in a grouchy mood.”

“No? That look on your face says otherwise. And you’re about two minutes away from ending up in a time-out. So I suggest you start talking.”

“You can’t give me a time-out! That’s so unfair.”

He just pinned her with a look.

“Why haven’t you fucked me?” Her gasp was comical as she slammed her hand over her mouth. “IcantbelieveIsaidthat.”

Her voice was muffled behind her hand, the words running together. Reaching over, he tapped her hand. “Off.”

His voice was firm, although his gaze was soft. And filled with heat.

She removed her hand. “Sorry.”

“For what? Telling me what the problem is?”

“No, well, maybe. But for swearing. I never swear.”

“It wasn’t used as a swear word,” he pointed out. “And I’m not going to punish you for swearing.”

Ed walked around the counter towards her. He turned her to face him, moving between her parted legs. Then he tilted up her chin. “I’ll fuck you when it’s time. Anticipation never killed anyone.”

“There’s anticipation and there’s torture,” she grumbled. “I don’t understand why you’re holding back.”

He rubbed the tension from her jaw with his thumbs before running one over her lower lip. She opened her mouth and he slid it in. She sucked, instantly feeling better. It was weird, but she actually liked this.

“A lot has happened in the last few days. And it’s happened quickly. There’s been a lot for you to come to terms with. Truth is, I didn’t even plan to let you near my cock, but I couldn’t resist this sassy mouth yesterday. The last thing I want is for you to think this is just about sex. It’s not.”

“I don’t think that,” she said around his thumb. Is that why he’d been holding back? “That’s really kind of sweet.”

“Sex is a big part of a relationship. But so is trust. Care. Affection. You’ve been through a lot. You were just in the hospital a few days ago. And I can be demanding during sex. I want you healthy and certain in our relationship before we take that step.” He drew his thumb free from her mouth.

“Okay, I get why you’ve held back from sex, but you haven’t held back from giving me orgasms. Until this morning.”

“Did my girl need to come this morning?”

“Yes!”

“Then why didn’t you ask for what you needed?”

“I . . . I . . . I had to ask? You didn’t just know?”

“I’m not always a mind-reader.”

“You’re not?” she asked doubtfully. It seemed that way to her. “You couldn’t see what I wanted?”

His lips twitched. “Okay, I could tell what you wanted. But I was waiting for you to ask for what you need. Next time, it might be something else and I won’t notice. Remember, you’re usually pretty good at hiding your true thoughts. Well, except when you’re horny.”

“Ed!”

He cupped her face with his hands. “You can ask me for what you need, Georgie-girl.”

“Wait! Are you saying this was a damn lesson? You-you rat-faced, pig-bum-licker!” That made her so mad. She didn’t need a lesson in asking for what she needed.

Don’t you? Look at how well you’ve done this morning. You wanted
