Daddy's Rapture (Daddy 3)

Aleena came awake slowly. The softness of the bed and the warmth that surrounded were the best things she’d ever felt.
“Good morning, baby girl.”
Her eyes popped open. She realized she was in bed with Kaleb, with him wrapped around her, and one of his hands cupped her breast. She stiffened.
“Easy. Everything’s okay. We just slept last night.”
She exhaled and tried to relax. She’d never slept with anyone before, and although it was shocking, she found she loved sleeping with Kaleb. He made her feel safe and loved, and it allowed her to get the best sleep she’d ever had.
She tipped her head around to see him. “Good morning.”
“I’m sorry I scared you. You were out last night.”
“I’m sorry.”
Kaleb swept the hair from her face. “Don’t be sorry. I enjoyed every minute of it.” He kissed her temple. “Are you hungry?”
She nodded. “And I have to use the restroom.”
He pointed toward a door that she assumed was the bathroom.
“Is it okay if I take a shower?” she asked timidly.
He smiled. “Sure. I’ll bring your pants in. You can wear them and my shirt until we get to your place to change. We also need to check your injuries from last night.”
“Oh, okay. That would be good. Thank you,” she murmured and then closed the door.
After using the toilet and brushing her teeth with her finger, she started the shower and then undressed quickly.
She worked the shampoo into her hair.
The bathroom was as luxurious as the rest of his condo. The place held a lot of modern things, but antiques, wood, and oriental carpets softened it.
She squeaked and froze when she heard the bathroom door open. She was standing under the shower spray, buck naked. She knew he couldn’t see her clearly because the glass was frosted, but she did notice he only had on a pair of shorts or underwear. Had she slept next to him all night while he was half-naked?
“Here are your pants, baby. And I got you a clean shirt. Remember, don’t put them on until I check your knees.”
“Oh, um. Okay. Thank you.”
“I’ll go make coffee,” he said.
Five minutes later, he knocked on the bathroom door as she was buttoning up the shirt he gave her.
“Come in,” she called.
He walked in with two cups of coffee. “I didn’t know how you liked your coffee, so I put cream and sugar in it.”
“It’s the only way I can drink it,” she admitted as she rolled the sleeves of his shirt up.
Kaleb set hers down, leaned agains
t the counter, and sipped at his cup. “Ready for me to check over your knees? I see the bandages slipped off.”
Aleena looked down. “Yeah, but they look okay. I don’t think I need any more bandages.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah.” She pulled on her pants.
