She nodded slowly, thinking. “To keep the citizens of the valley safe.”
“Exactly. There are occasional threats from beyond, Baby girl. We prefer they be infrequent, but they do exist. Life in the mountains has its risks. I will educate you on those risks, but not today.”
“Okay.” Risks… She’d never thought about what the valley was being protected from. Other wolves? She knew there were other packs in other valleys. Maybe they weren’t as friendly. Maybe they also had Alpha Protectors who defended their territories.
She recalled that not too long ago a female shifter from the valley was abducted on her mating day. When her Alpha Protector had arrived for the ceremony, she’d been gone. Molly had heard that the woman was eventually found safe by her mate, but she had no idea who had abducted her or why. Maybe that sort of thing was what Daddy was talking about.
He cupped her face again. “Don’t you fret, Little one. Other Alphas are guarding us tonight. We’re safe. You will always be safe. I will make sure of it.”
“Okay, Daddy.”
He kissed her lips again. Every time he did so, he scrambled her brain a bit more. She knew he sometimes kissed her intentionally to soften her. It worked, and she didn’t mind.
When he released her lips this time, he held her gaze while undoing the last few buttons and removing his shirt.
She gasped as the expanse of his chest was exposed to her. He was even larger without his shirt, though that wasn’t logical. His chest was broad and muscular, with a dusting of brown hair.
In her modest home, she couldn’t remember ever seeing her father’s chest, but she was certain he was nowhere near as built or broad or tall as Gavin.
Molly reached up with trembling fingers and touched him.
He sat still, letting her trail her fingertips along his pecs and down to his abs. When she lifted her gaze back to his, he flipped her hand over to expose her wrist. “I’m going to kiss you here, Little one.”
She nodded.
He brought her arm to his lips and let his mouth graze lightly over the mark.
Her knees nearly gave out, but he grabbed her waist with his free hand to steady her. “Powerful, huh?”
“Yes,” she breathed.
“Do you want me to remove your shifts, Molly?”
“Yes, Daddy.” She didn’t hesitate. She was so alive, and she wanted to experience the rest.
Gavin gathered up all the layers in his hands at her sides and slowly lifted the stifling material. “Arms up, Baby girl.”
She held her breath as she lifted her arms above her head. A second later, she stood before him in nothing but her white panties.
Daddy was not breathing. He wasn’t blinking either. His gaze roamed up and down her body.
Perhaps she should have been embarrassed, but all she could feel was beautiful because that’s what she read in his expression. Awe and reverence.
His hands were trembling as he finally cupped her breasts, and she nearly collapsed into him when he stroked her nipples with his thumbs.
He caught her, supporting her with his enormous palms. “Molly…”
“Will you claim me now?” she asked softly.
“Are you sure, Little one?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
He rose from the bed, lifted her once again, and settled her on her back. His hands came to the elastic of her panties at her hips so he could lower them down her body. And then she was naked.
She fought the urge to cover herself. Naked wasn’t an experience she was used to. She didn’t even bathe naked. Plus, certainly no one ever saw her bare skin.
Her chest rose and fell as she watched him look at her. When he set his hands on her knees and guided them open, she inhaled sharply. She couldn’t believe this was happening. Nor could she comprehend the bombardment of emotions consuming her.
Daddy bent her knees and pushed them high and wide, exposing every bit of her most private parts.
She reached for his shoulders and whimpered. “Daddy…”
“Let Daddy look at you, Baby girl. You will not hide yourself from me. Never again. When we’re alone, I will want to see all of you like this. For the next few weeks, I will rarely dress you, Little one. You’ll grow accustomed to my gaze on your gorgeous body, my hands roaming over your curves, my mouth suckling every inch of you.”
She panted. His words were so foreign. It was hard to fathom what he described.
“Look at me, Molly.”
She jerked her gaze from his chest to his eyes.
“I’m going to suck your pretty nipples, then I’m going to lower my mouth between your legs and lap at your pussy with my tongue.”
She pursed her lips. His mouth? On her down there? Her face heated, but she found she also really wanted to know what that would feel like.
“Have you ever touched your pussy, Little one?”
