Daddy's Sweet Girl (Montana Daddies 3)

“Thanks. I like it. There are three bedrooms upstairs, the master has its own bathroom, so you can have this one to yourself.” He opened a door an

d she glanced in on a truly beautify; bathroom done in gray and cream, complete with sunken tub. She sighed.

“Okay?”

“I’m regretting telling you that I didn’t want a bath. That looks amazing.”

He smiled at her. “You can have one tomorrow night. Now, for your room.” He walked through an open doorway across the hall and turned on a light. She followed him in, blinking in surprise. It was a large room with a big window taking up most of one wall. He walked over and pulled the drapes across. The bed had a soft pink bedspread on it. Laid out on the bedspread were a few pairs of what appeared to be onesie pajamas. Lying against the pillow were four stuffed toys. A giraffe, teddy bear, dog and cat.

None of her bags were anywhere to be seen.

“I put all your stuff away,” he explained. He turned on the lamp by the bed. The lampshade had stars cut out of it.

In one corner of the room was a pink velvet chair in almost the same shade as the bedspread.

“Did you decorate this room?” she asked.

“Ahh, no, Eden did. She reckoned I might need it one day. Never realized what she meant. But I, umm, bought these, for you.” He picked up one of the garments from the bed. Yep, it was a pair of onesie pajamas with rainbows all over them. “Didn’t know which one you’d like. There’s a unicorn and a dog one, too.”

She cleared her throat. “I like all those things.”

He beamed at her and she was glad she hadn’t told him she didn’t want them or that he shouldn’t have gotten them.

“I bought you these, too.” He waved a hand at the soft toys.

Her eyes widened. “All of them? For me?”

“Ah, yes. I thought Bun-bun might like some company. Is there one in particular you’d like to sleep with?”

She stared at them all, but the reminder of Bun-bun just made her feel funny. She bit at her thumbnail. “I don’t...I’m not sure.”

He rubbed at the back of his neck for a moment. “Hmm, I have an idea. Why don’t you go use the bathroom and put these on? There’s a spare toothbrush in the cupboard under the sink. Help yourself to whatever you need, I’ll be back in a minute.”

He disappeared out of the bedroom so quickly, that she stood there for a full minute before she recalled the task he’d given her.

Brush teeth. Get into PJs. She could do that.

Ten minutes later, she stepped into the bedroom and found him sitting on the bed. He’d turned off the main light and the lamp by the bed cast shadows of stars around the room.

“You might want to turn it off so it doesn’t wake you up,” he said, standing. He reached for the covers and pulled them back. “You look really cute in your PJs, little girl.”

“Thank you.” Daddy hovered on her lips, but she couldn’t quite say it.

“Did you use the toilet?”

“Umm, yes.” She blushed.

“Brushed your teeth?”

“Yes.”

“Good girl. Climb into bed now. Daddy will tuck you in then I’ve got something for you.” The bed was high and she felt like a little girl as she climbed in. She lay back with a sigh of pleasure.

“This bed is really comfortable.”

“I’m glad. Want me to read you a story?”

“I guess so.”
