Page 44 of Protected By Her Daddy

When I check in on Wren a few hours later, she’s sleeping soundly. I quickly shower and climb into bed, naked. Wren shifts and snuggles into me with a contented murmur. I need to hold her after today's events. Having her in my arms calms my soul and eases the day's stress, lulling me to sleep.

Chapter 13

Wren

“What are you doing, baby girl?”

I spin at the sound of my husband’s voice, quickly removing my hand from between my legs. I didn’t hear him enter the bathroom over the shower. I’m vaguely aware that his unexpected appearance didn’t scare me like in the kitchen three days ago. I guess I’m finally relaxing and trusting that I’m safe here. Well, as relaxed as I can be, considering I’ve been caught trying to get myself off.

“Um, I… You’re home early,” I stutter, cheeks blazing.

Gabe prowls toward the shower cubicle, loosening his tie. “Not a second too soon, it seems. Were you touching yourself?”

My toes curl in the water cascading at my feet. My breathing shortens and the now-familiar heat whenever he’s near shoots through my limbs and settles between my legs. “No. I-I was, uh, washing. In the shower. With shower gel.”

His molten eyes hold mine as he shrugs off his jacket and strips off his shirt. “Didn’t look like you were washing from where I was standing, little bird.”

I swallow. “Gabe, I didn’t?—”

“If you need release, you come to me.” He slides his pants down his muscular thighs and removes his socks, leaving him in only black boxer briefs. God, he’s gorgeous. So fit and wonderfully sculpted, like Mother Nature took extra care when creating him.

My gaze is glued to the masculine beauty of my husband as he removes the boxers. His cock is long and thick. I’m still amazed it fits inside me as beautifully as it does.

Cold air teases my skin, raising goosebumps as Gabriel opens the glass door and steps inside. His large frame dominates the space, sending a frisson of excitement down my spine.

“Turn around.” His voice holds a delicious edge that’s meant to be obeyed.

I do as he says, the scorching heat of his body radiating at my back. The water drums around us as I face the tiled wall, enveloping us in its liquid caress.

His lips graze the shell of my ear. “I’ll ask again. Were you touching my pussy?”

I huff out a shaky breath. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, I think you do. Are you trying to tease Daddy?” He presses his hips against me, nestling his stiff cock between my ass cheeks. “Or is it a punishment you’re looking for?”

“I haven’t done anything to deserve a punishment,” I say firmly, even though my legs have softened to cooked noodles.

“Haven’t done anything, hmm?” His hand comes down on my right ass cheek.

I yelp, my thighs shaking with arousal. “O-okay, I-I was horny, but?—”

Smack.

“Oh, God,” I moan, clenching my thighs.

“You’re mine to touch. Mine to pleasure. Do you understand, little one?”

A full-body shudder wracks me as another moan escapes. I take too long to answer, and his palm lands on my right cheek again.

“Answer my question. Do you understand?”

Some perverse part of me refuses to answer. Every strike to my ass feels like he’s thrusting his fingers deep inside me. I want this. Need it. I want the impact of his hand and the emotions each slap elicits. Relinquishing control to Gabriel empowers me. For the first time in my life, I’m comfortable enough in my own skin to sink into my femininity. My sexual surrender offers a release from everyday cares and worries. I can safely indulge in this submissive play with Gabriel because he respects me and regards me as an equal outside the bedroom.

“Ah, I understand,” Gabe says as if reading my thoughts. “My baby girl needs this, and she knows I always give her what she needs.” He massages my stinging ass tenderly. “I’m going to spank your ass until you beg me to stop.”

His palm connects with my flesh again. And again. Small bursts of fiery heat followed by his hand massaging my hot skin. I’ve never been this turned on. It’s freedom in its purest form, and I want more.

His hand slips between my thighs, and I panic.
