Her chest fills with a deep, settling breath, and her shoulders relax Taking advantage of the drop in tension, I inch a step forward, closing the space between us to so far more intimate

“What do you feel?” I ask as my hand comes up to toy with a lock of her hair Her lips fall open and her eyelids dance a bit lower

“I was angry when I saw you tonight” She shifts on her feet, relaxing “But now” She stops herself, and I feel her fear of what ht and feeling I want it All of it

“Just say it Say the words, Willow What are you feeling right now?”

My other hand co slowly up into her silken hair until hter, pulling her head back an inch and holding it there, steady, forcing her eyes to stay with me

“Like I’m in a dream” Her words seep over her lips in a slow dance My face is down close enough for me to breathe them in I want all of her to be part of ive me all of herself So that I can be the man she deserves The only man she will ever need

Need

I need her to need me In every way

“Is it a good dreahtmare?” I ask as my lips come to her forehead I don’t kiss her I rest theive more To offer what I need

Her body shudders as I listen to her gather a nervous breath before answering

“I don’t knohich it is I think maybe it’s both Because I’ood dreams I’ve ever had may actually co time”

Her words drive a stake throughshe’s felt this way tears atin my cock into overdrive My hts ofcunt more than I can bear

I pull h to form the words “Do you remember the note I wrote in the book?”

She nods and I pull her hair back, our lips fighting to touch

She doesn’t answer, so I continue “You will always be ned it Daddy”
