Zander swept a hand under her bottom and lifted her higher. That new angle cascaded sensations over her. Essie gasped as she climaxed again. He groaned as her pussy clamped around him.
“Damn, Essie. I could get lost inside your heat. You test my control,” he growled.
“Come, Daddy,” she whispered, eager for him to experience the delight he’d lavished on her.
Quickening his strokes, Zander powered into her. Those sensations built deep inside her again. “Yes! Yes, please!” she encouraged.
Zander reached between them to brush his rough thumb over her clit. Essie bit his shoulder as she tried not to scream as his touch skyrocketed her into an orgasm. Immediately, Zander shouted and emptied himself into the condom inside her. He continued to move until he wrung every sensation from their bodies.
Easing himself to the side, Zander pulled her exhausted body with him. He held her to his side as they recovered. Stroking a hand through her hair, Zander whispered, “I’m never letting you go, Little girl.”
“Never,” she echoed.
Chapter Ten
Waking up the next morning wrapped in Zander’s arms made Essie’s heart ache to do this every day. She studied his handsome face, hoping to have this view for the rest of her life. When the need to use the restroom forced her to shift out of his arms, Zander protested and dragged her back against him.
“No.”
“I need to potty, Zander.”
“Daddy,” he corrected her.
“Daddy,” she repeated and scooted over toward the edge once again. This time, he let her go. Essie scampered to the bathroom and glanced over her shoulder before walking inside. A devastatingly good-looking man watched her from the bed. His face, soft with sleep, made her want to jump under the covers to snuggle with him. Her aching bladder kept her from acting on that impulse.
“Go, Little girl,” he told her.
Nodding, she zipped in and used the toilet. Walking back into the bedroom, Essie tried to play her return to bed cool. His gaze tracked her as she strolled naked to the bed and climbed in to cuddle against him. Pulling her close, Zander kissed her deeply.
“How do you feel, Essie?”
“Wonderful. I’m happy.” She loved how he couldn’t stop touching her. He smiled as he held her close.
“I’m glad. I feel damn excellent myself. Guess what I’m going to do today?” he asked.
“Work at your estate?”
“Yes, I need to clean out the stables and do some other chores. I’m also going to smuggle some cleaning supplies to the nursery to tackle the dust in that room. I think I can get what I need up here without Sara noticing since I’ll bring my things from the green room.”
His face turned serious as he studied her. “Our plan is to settle in this suite together, right?”
Refusing to be embarrassed, she nodded even as her face heated. “I’ll tote my things from my other room today. I can help with the supplies and cleaning,” she offered.
“Not going to happen, Little girl. You’re going to stay out of the nursery until it’s spic and span. I’m concerned about how I’m going to wash the bedclothes for the crib. I can’t take them to my washing machine. The house is still quarantined.”
“If I put them in the laundry, Sara would find them,” Essie added. “Wait. How did they wash them before? Maybe Sara wasn’t at Ferguson’s Folly then.”
“This size of an estate had to employ a bunch of staff. Someone else must have worked in the laundry, even if Sara was here. I’ll take them to the laundromat. Those industrial machines would probably handle the dust better.”
Essie nodded. “I’m sorry I can’t help.” She pressed a kiss to his hand that caressed her arm.
“I’m not. Little girls shouldn’t be scrubbing the floors and the furniture. I’ll work on whisking away the dust when I can steal a few hours. How about if you pay me back with kisses? I’d love that.”
“Me too, Daddy. I’ll give you a hundred kisses whenever you want them.”
“That’s going to be a fun day,” he said, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. “What’s coming up on your schedule?”
“I’m going to explore the attic this morning before it gets too hot up in that space. Sara said Esther stored some decorations and furnishings that filled the ballroom up there.”
“I don’t want you trying to haul heavy things down a ladder, Essie.”
“How about if I put everything I want to use in one spot, and you can help me later?”
“Deal. So, the fairy ball is happening, hmm?” he asked, stroking her hair back from her face.
“It is. We have a month to get ready. Ivan found several places on the parquet floor that needed to be repaired. He’s going to work on that next. Tiffanie wants to do some greenery around the antique mirrors that encircle the ballroom. She’s going to help me figure out what else we need.”
