Daddy's Angel (Montana Daddies 7)

“He’s just giving us some privacy to talk.”
“Uh-oh, sounds ominous.” She gathered up the plates. He rinsed everything, while she stacked them in the dishwasher.
They worked in companionable silence. It was so normal that it made her feel kind of sad. Normal was all she’d ever wanted and yet it seemed so unattainable.
Stupid, huh?
“More coffee?” Bain asked.
“Yes, please, but I can get it.”
He shook his head and gestured back to the counter. “You sit, baby. I’ll get it.”
“What did you want to talk about?”
He set her cup of coffee in front of her. She took a sip and sighed. Perfect.
“About rules and limits. And about your Little.”
“Right into it then, huh?” she said nervously.
He leaned across the counter and placed his hand over hers. “Communication is important.”
She raised her eyebrows.
He grinned. “Know that it’s not always my strong point. But it is important in a relationship like this. I’m not a mind reader. I need to know what’s going on in your mind. I’ll try to be much better at making my expectations clear. All right?”
“Yes. Okay. I don’t really know how any of this works. I’ve never been in a relationship.”
“With a Dom, you mean?”
“No, at all,” she whispered. “I’ve only had sex once. Does it disappoint you?”
“Disappoint me? Why the hell would it?”
“Because I don’t know what I’m doing.” She stared down into her coffee.
“Angel, look at me.”
She shook her head.
“Angel. Look. At. Me.”
“Nope.”
“Testing me so soon, huh, little bit?”
Testing him? No, she wasn’t testing him. She just didn’t want to look at him. But she raised her gaze anyway. She wasn’t ready yet to see what happened if she tested him.
She’d probably have to endure another scolding.
“Good girl.” He cupped the side of her face. “There is nothing to be embarrassed about.”
“The paparazzi would have a field day with this. I’m meant to be up here having orgies. Not sitting around in my pajamas watching Shrek.”
“Who cares what other people think? Only matters what we think.”
But she’d been raised to worry about what others thought of her. Especially her family. But she knew he was right. And who would even know?
