When he pulled back, he immediately plugged her mouth with the pacifier. There was no way he could endure even one more sentence from her lips. Not a naughty sentence or an innocent one. The sound of her voice would be his undoing.
He rose and kissed her forehead. Already he hated leaving her to go next door. He wanted her under his roof at night. He wanted her in his bed. In his life. In her nursery. Everywhere.
Axel Jennings wanted Nicoya Stevens more than he’d ever wanted anything in his entire life. And she was so totally his.
“Do you have to work tomorrow?” he asked.
She shook her head, suckling the pacifier.
“Text me and let me know what time you want to go to Little Cakes and I’ll pick you up.”
She nodded.
“I’ll turn off the lights on my way out and lock your front door. But Niki…”
Her eyes widened in question.
He wanted to leave her with parting words that would have her squirming for a good long time before she could fall asleep. “As soon as your period is done, plan on sleeping in my home. I’m going to start putting your nursery together immediately. Little girls need a special place to play. Not just a drawer. Your nursery will be equipped with a changing table and a crib. Most nights I’ll want you in my arms in my bed, but you can expect to nap in your crib and sleep there on nights when you’re feeling super Little and need the comfort of the slats around you.”
Her eyes were still wide, and he thought she was holding her breath.
He leaned over and set his hands on either side of her, holding her gaze. “From now on I’ll be the one to diaper you and change you when you need it. You’ll take bottles sometimes too. Are you with me, Little girl?”
She nodded eagerly.
He smiled wide enough to split his face once again. “Good.” Another final kiss, this one on her nose, and he turned and left the room.
Axel was nearly hyperventilating as he turned off her lights and let himself out, making sure to lock the front door.
He couldn’t believe how perfect Nicoya was for him in every way. She really had surprised him. He was so pleased. As badly as he needed to come, he decided he wouldn’t masturbate tonight. After all, he’d forced her to wait. He could wait too.
In a few days the waiting would be over, and their first time together would be the sweetest thing in the world.
Chapter Seven
Nicoya looked at her phone for what seemed like the millionth time. She wanted to text him that everyone was meeting at Little Cakes at two, but she debated how much of a fool she’d made of herself. When the doorbell rang, she scrambled to open it. A delivery lady from a local grocery store stood at her door with a ginormous jar of maraschino cherries.
“I’ve got to be honest. Of all my deliveries, I want to be you,” the woman said with a grin as she handed over the treasure.
“This is mine?” Nicoya’s mind did a happy dance as she looked at the hundreds of candied cherries in the jar.
“From your neighbor, the message says.”
“He’s so sweet,” Nicoya murmured.
“I’d keep him. Enjoy!” The driver waved and headed back for her vehicle parked at the curb.
Immediately, Nicoya ran inside and grabbed her phone. Dialing the number he’d left on her kitchen table before leaving, she turned the jar in circles on the counter as she waited for him to answer.
“Is the lid off yet?” he asked.
She could hear the smile in his voice. “It’s not yet. They’re better cold. I’m trying to make myself wait. You got a huge jar.”
“I’ll buy you more when you run out,” he promised.
“Sounds like you plan to stick around for a while,” she whispered.
“A very long time, Little girl. What time are we going to Little Cakes?”
“Could you be available at two?” she asked hesitantly.
“I’ll be glad to take a break. It’s hot out here. I’ll have to be back here to supervise at four. Will that be long enough?”
“Oh, yes. If not, someone will give me a ride home. I could just take a ride share,” she suggested.
“And leave me without a cupcake after you’ve told me how amazing they are? That’s just cruel, Niki.”
She giggled at his ridiculous tone. He was so much fun. “Can you pick me up at a quarter to two so we can be there when everyone arrives?”
“You got it. Put those in the fridge, Little girl. Don’t give yourself a tummy ache. You don’t want to ruin your appetite for those special cupcakes.”
“I’m looking forward to spending time with you, Axel,” she confessed.
“I am too, Little girl. I am, too,” he said quietly into the phone.
