The linen that functioned as a door pushed aside, and my mouth dropped open. Caden had changed. He was now wearing a tight t-shirt that showed off his muscles and gray sweatpants that hung low on his hips. Fuck a duck. Caden truly was the hottest Daddy ever. I swallowed hard and watched him crawl into our fort. He came over to me and grinned.
“Hi.”
“Uh…” Words, Henry, words. You can do this. That’s your job, after all. “H-Hi?” There. A word. Caden laughed and held up a bottle. Frowning, I stared at it. Then I looked up again. “You promised me chocolate milk.”
“It is, Baby.”
“It’s white.”
“Yes, it is.”
“Are you teasing me again?”
“No, I’m going to surprise you with something delicious. Do you trust me?”
Skeptically I glanced at the bottle again but nodded. That earned me one of my favorite nose kisses when Caden crawled over to sit behind me. We had to wiggle around a bit until we were both comfortable with me on his lap. Caden reached around me and started the movie again, and then he brought the bottle up to my lips. I still expected milk, but when I began to suck on the tip, I moaned. It was probably louder than I wanted because I could feel Caden laughing under me. Oh my, that was so yummy. Surprised, I turned my head and looked at him.
“It’s white chocolate, Cupcake.”
“Wow. It’s so much better than chocolate milk.”
“I know. Only the best for my Little Roo.” Caden winked.
His words touched something deep inside me, and I had to turn around to hide the tears that threatened to spill over. It wasn’t only his words. It was the way he looked at me when he said it. It was the honesty and sincerity I saw in his eyes. It was how I always dreamed a Daddy would look at me. He was here, and I found him. My Daddy wrapped his free arm around my waist and pulled me closer to his chest. With me turned away from him, a conversation wasn’t possible. It wasn’t an issue because of the way he held me and kissed my head spoke volumes. Sighing happily, I leaned into his embrace and concentrated on the movie and my yummy bottle.
When the movie was over, I turned around and looked at my Daddy. My Daddy. I so loved the sound of it.
“Can I have my bath now, Daddy?”
“Can I have a kiss first?”
Giggling, I raised my head and kissed Daddy softly. In return, Caden smiled at me and patted my bottom.
“Let’s go. After your bath, I’m going to get you ready for bed.”
“Daaaadddddyyyy,” I whined. It was way too early for me to go to bed. It was just after nine, and usually, this was the most creative time for me. Plus, I didn’t want to miss anything while I was sleeping. I wanted to enjoy the whole weekend with Caden, which meant I had to be awake as much as possible.
“I said we would get ready for bed. I didn’t say anything about sleeping, did I?”
Oh. Right. “Can we watch another movie?”
“Another one?”
Can there ever be enough movies? Nope.“Yes. Please, Daddy.” I added when he raised an eyebrow. But then he grinned and kissed my nose again.
“Okay, but I get to choose this time.”
“We’re not going to watch Law and Order.” Caden blinked at me. Then he leaned his head back and laughed.
“I would have suggested Brother Bear. But okay, we can watch Law and…”
“Nooooo.” Caden flinched, and I ducked my head. Shit. “Sorry. I…I…” Caden gently took hold of my chin and tilted my head up.
“I don’t care if you speak too loud. I love hearing your voice, Cupcake. You just speak to me in a way that is comfortable for you, whether it’s talking or sign language, okay?”
“Okay.” Best Daddy ever. “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me.” Caden kissed my nose again, then he smiled. “But I have something for your bath time you can thank me for.”
“What is it? Bath toys? A duck? A boat? Oh, is it a sharkie?” Caden waggled his eyebrows, and I knew that I wouldn’t get an answer until I was in the tub. Scrambling off his lap, I crawled out of our fort. I didn’t even care that I startled Charlie, who had been sleeping. All I cared about was the surprise. Stepping out of the blanket fort, I turned and waited impatiently for Caden to follow me.
“Daddy. Come on, hurry.” When Caden finally came out, I’d already shimmied halfway out of my new jammies. Caden stopped and just stared at me for a second, which was just long enough for me to doubt myself again. He reached out to stop me as I moved to cover myself.
“You look so cute like this.”
“I…I do?” I looked down and tried to see myself through his eyes. The cute jammies were hanging off me, the edge of my diaper peeking out…I guess, for a Daddy, it must be appealing to see me this way. Caden stepped up and took my hand in his.
“Come on. Let’s get you ready for your bath so you can play with your surprise.”
Oh, yes, the surprise. Daddy Caden led me to the bathroom. It was one of the few closed rooms in my apartment, and I spent extra time planning it. It was a space to relax in and be comfortable. There were light blue and white subway tiles, a large skylight, a large walk-in shower, and an elevated tub. It was the perfect bathtub that would prevent giving Daddy backpain. There were even plants
