Daddy’s Little Pet

ROBERT

Hours later, I was sitting next to my girl, and damn if the sight wasn’t spectacular!

Renee was stunning.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her since she walked into the restaurant, her dainty frame wrapped in the sexy dress she was wearing.

It’d felt like years since I’d seen her, not just weeks, and now I just wanted her glued to me.

To every damned part of me, including my skin and soul. Both the bad and good. Absolutely everything.

What was this woman doing to me?

My body vibrated heavily as her smile shone brightly across the dimly lit building, her eyes glinting as she ate.

I was already filled with desire and lust for her, but I needed to calm down. We were taking things slow.

So slow, we’d spent the entire warm evening just talking and engaging in a healthy conversation, trying to get to know each other better.

Thankfully, the age thing was no longer an issue, and she’d told me she wasn’t bothered about it. She liked me and wanted this relationship to work out.

‘It is already working.’ My subconscious whispered, and all I did in response was bob my head once.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

She’d asked me about business, what I did for a living, and a few other questions, to which I’d dutifully replied.

However, I was surprised and relieved when she didn’t inquire about my personal life. I wasn’t ready to tell her about Amanda or that I had a rebellious son who resembled his mother. Or even worse.

She didn’t ask the most important questions for someone who wanted to know so much about me, and oh well… Maybe because I hadn’t asked about hers.

I didn’t need to know because I could get the information on a silver platter, but I didn’t want to know how many men my woman had been with all these years.

I wouldn’t have reacted well to that information, so it was better this way.

“… Robert, the steak is excellent, and the red wine… Mmmm…” As she sipped her wine, she hummed, her red lips gently pressed together at the edge of the glass.

Her throat bobbed sexily, and I swallowed hard to keep myself composed and calm.

Taking her soft, manicured fingers in my palms, I brought her hand to my lips and gently kissed her knuckles. “I’m glad you’re enjoying your meal. Enjoying everything.”

“Yes, I am. I’ve almost finished everything.” She giggled. her voice was almost whisper-like when she spoke. She looked up from the table, and our gazes caught.

As the warm glow of the lit-up room shone on her skin, the atmosphere became electric and charged, and her breathing became shallower and a little loud.

I gently ran my thumb over the top of her wrist, and her breathing hitched as she turned to face the table.

“Renee, I-”

“So, Robert.” She started after a moment, “How long do you intend to stay here in Orlando?”

“Huh!” I exclaimed sharply, taken aback by the question, and blinked a few times before responding.

“I’ll stay as long as you want me to, Renee. You’re aware I’m here because of you. As I told you, I have no plans to leave anytime soon…” I trailed off, the remaining words dying on my lips as I restrained myself from saying anything else.

How would she react when I told her I’d bought a mansion on the city’s outskirts?

A mansion I intended to show her soon.

I grinned but restrained myself from smiling further so she didn’t notice and bombard me with questions.

“I’m at a loss for words, Robert. Hearing you repeat it… You came here solely for me, and you’re staying despite your hectic work schedule and… I just…” Something in my chest shook as she paused, suddenly quiet.

Something was bothering my girl.

I could tell by how her eyes darted around the VIP lounge, and her freed left hand played with the fork she was holding.

“What is it, love?” I asked, brushing my hands over her palm, my chest tightened as I waited for her to say something, and thankfully she did.

“I… I know I said I wanted this relationship….”

“Yes?”

“Don’t misunderstand me….” She cut in sharply, gently laughing as her lashes fluttered. “I do want it. It’s just that I’m still getting over a breakup, and I don’t think you know about it. I haven’t told you, and even during our question-and-answer session, you never asked, and I didn’t say a thing, but I feel like you should know….”

The rest of her words got lost in my thoughts.

Who shattered her heart? Who dared to hurt her?

She appeared so frail. She was wary of a new relationship due to the breakup.

Whoever this person was, he must have done a number on her.

I began to wonder if her ex-boyfriend was the young man in the picture of Renee at the park that my investigator had sent me a few weeks ago.

I opened my mouth to ask her, licking my chapped lips, but I kept the question to myself.

“… I went to Miami to forget about him. Nicole encouraged me to have some fun, and guess who got to meet you?”

Her light chuckle made my insides churn sweetly but didn’t remove my anger.

My heart was filled with rage and fury as I wondered who this motherfucker was.

The jerk who’d broken my woman’s heart.

In the first place, he wasn’t supposed to be with her. He was unworthy of her. He wasn’t the right man for her.

I clenched my fists so tight I almost drew blood as I thought about her getting hurt.

“Hello, Robert… You’re saying nothing.” She called my attention after some time, waving her left hand in front of my face, and I let out a pained hiss.

“Who is this guy? What’s his name?” I blurted out.

“Huh?”

“You heard me. Who is he, Renee?” I asked again, more gently this time, and bringing her hands to my lips I softly kissed her knuckles.

“Whatever you want to do to him, Robert, I’m against it.” She chuckled abruptly. “I’ve cut all ties with him. Relax. I just wanted to let you know so perhaps you’ll understand why I want us to take things slowly. Despite our insane attraction and heightened sexual compatibility, I don’t want to rush this. This is my first romantic relationship since…”

“Don’t be concerned about anything, love. I’ll respect your wishes, and I’m not going anywhere.” I said quickly, brushing her thumb and looking into her eyes, “Be assured of that.”

“Oh…” She exhaled loudly as if she’d been holding her breath the entire time, and I gently caressed her palm.

I wish I could mirror her expression of relief because she’d let out what was bothering her.

I also wished I could tell her about Amanda and the horrible things I’d gone through in the past, but I couldn’t.

I would tell her everything soon, but not now. I’ll spill my guts at a better time and in a much more comfortable setting.

I didn’t want anything to ruin this lovely evening.

“Robert…” Renee called out, and I stared at her lovely face, expecting her to speak, which she did.

“Don’t bother looking into him. You have a determined expression, and I don’t want to know why. I can confirm that I haven’t spoken to or seen him since the day we split up. I’m completely yours.”

I’m completely yours. This affirmation played over and over in my head, and I smiled deeply.

“Yes, you’re all mine.” I affirmed to her and myself and gently squeezed her hand.

“Damn Renee… I’m going to fucking treat you so well.” I cursed, frantically rubbing her palms and my eyes boring deep into hers. “I’m going to spoil you and give you everything you deserve. I’m sorry you had to go through so much before meeting me, and even though it’s selfish to say this, I’m glad it brought us together, and I’ll always be by your side. I promise that whatever happens, as long as we’re together, we will never lose each other.”

“Rob…” Her hands trembled in my grasp as she stared at me with imploring eyes, and my chest clenched again.

This tightening in my chest took me back to my past. M… my young days when I’d confessed my heart to a woman. A woman I’d cherished, loved, and envisioned my future with-but what had she done? She’d stomped all over my heart and shredded it into pieces.

Damnit, I was feeling like a teenager all over again. I was scared to admit something to Renee, but the consequences be damned.

This would be the first time I’d say these words in the last fifteen years, but it would be worth it. I knew it.

However, slow we were taking this, I couldn’t hold back this thought anymore, so I said.

“This may be too soon, Renee, but I’ve fallen in love with you in the short period we’ve been together.”

She gasped when I stopped talking, her eyes widening, but I wasn’t finished yet.

“I know it’s sudden, but I can’t hold it in anymore. That’s why I came to get you, Renee. That’s why I did all those things because I can’t get my mind off you. This unbearable ache in my chest… it’s been so long since I’ve felt this way. I’m taking things as it comes. I love you, Renee, and I’m glad you’re all mine.”

“I… Rob…” She trailed off, and I let out a painful chuckle.

“You don’t have to respond, okay? We’re still taking things moderately. I just needed to get it off my chest.” I muttered sharply, pulling my chair closer to hers until our thighs brushed. I began to caress her hair.

I scrutinized her face closely for any hints of pain, sadness, or fear, none of which I found, and a wave of relief coursed through me.

“Okay.” She finally spoke, her voice wavering.

We stared at each other in silence.

Until I felt something inside me start bubbling up, boiling, boiling, boiling-and then I leaned toward her, taking her into my arms.

Burying my face in her hair, I breathed deeply.

“Renee, Renee…” I murmured as I inhaled her scent.

It had a floral redolence, a combination of roses, peaches, and fresh air.

“Thank you… for giving me another chance and for accepting my invitation. I’m relieved to have gotten some things off my chest, and…”

My breathing became labored as I felt her arms wrap around my broad shoulders and pull me closer.

“You make me feel safe, Robert. What else could I ever want? Everything happened so quickly, yes, but I’m happy. I’m always happy when I’m with you, and I’m sorry I put this off for so long. I still regret that yacht argument to this day, but I’m glad you didn’t give up on me.” Her soft voice murmured in my ears.

I held her tighter as we embraced, nuzzling my nose against her hair.

The air was becoming charged, and I felt blood shoot to my groin.

“God, I need you, Renee. I’ve missed the feel of your naked skin against mine.”

“Robert…” She gasped, pushing me off her arms, and I grinned darkly.

“Fuck minor formalities. Are you horny?” I asked bluntly, and she laughed. “Robert, we’re still having dinner and….”

“Your plates are already empty…” I emphasized, my eyes darting toward the nearly empty table, and looking back at her, I added, “I want to fuck you so bad. You have no idea how long I’ve wanted it. These past few weeks have been hell for me, and I don’t think you understand. Moreso, I want you writhing beneath me while I plow your insides and…”

“Robert!” She exclaimed loudly, her hands shooting out as she clasped them over my mouth, and I burst out laughing.

“Someone could hear us and…” She trailed off, her cheeks turning pink, and I shrugged, although she was right.

I could see some nearby customers staring at our table, and I knew they must’ve heard what I’d said, but I didn’t care.

Crude Robert was back. Her Daddy was back.

I shook my head, wanting her to take her hands off my lips, and she got the message quickly.

“Don’t say anything out loud again. I’m already embarrassed as it is.”

“I don’t mind. I want to fuck you tonight, and I’m confident you’ll allow me to.” I winked.

“What the hell, Robert!” She exclaimed again, and I chuckled as I began to wave for the waiter.

Although I’d settled the bill in advance when the reservation was made, I wanted to give a tip before I left. I intended to leave soon because the earlier, the better for both of us.

It would be a long night, and I couldn’t afford to waste any more time.
