Page 102 of A Very Naughty Christmas

Without needing to be told, I sat up and swung my legs off the bed.

“Did you grab my Christmas tree sweater?”

“Of course, and your Rudolph socks.”

“Thank you!”

I clapped my hands together as he placed my outfit for the day on the bed, except for a pair of pink cotton bikini panties.

“Stand up and step into these.”

I did and he pulled them up.

“Now your bra.” The matching pink bra was soon around me and he deftly clasped it in the back. “You look so cute like this; I think this is all you should wear today.”

“No! I’ll freeze, Daddy!” He couldn’t be serious.

A smile crossed his face before he said, “You’re right, you would freeze. What do you want to put on next?”

“My socks,” I answered as I grabbed my Rudolph socks and put them on. I loved these! They were brown and at the top by my ankle they had a picture of Rudolph with a glowing red nose! I never had to worry about monsters coming out and attacking me at nighttime ‘cause I’d be able to see them.

“Leggings next,” Daddy declared.

He guided my left leg into the black leggings, followed by my right, and pulled them up.

“Almost finished!” I announced as I reached for my Christmas tree sweater and pulled it over my head. My most favorite sweater! It was so soft, fuzzy, and kept me super warm. And best of all, it was snowy white with a big picture of a Christmas tree in the center.

“You’re all dressed. Now we need to brush out your hair.” He reached for my hairbrush on my nightstand.

I felt my cheeks heat up when he grabbed it. I was still remembering how he yielded it last night.

“Turn around. This shouldn’t take too long because we brushed your hair out yesterday.”

“Yes, Sir.”

I did as he told me to and he began to run the bristles of the brush through my hair.

As he did, I imagined what we could do today. With all the snow we had gotten last night, we could go out and build a snowman, make snow angels, or go sledding. Then again, it might be better if we stayed inside. We could build a gingerbread house or make gingerbread men cookies, while drinking hot chocolate.

“All finished. It’s time to brush your teeth.”

I raced to the bathroom, excited about what we were going to do first. I scrubbed my teeth for the two minutes the dentist recommended. When I finished, I put my brush back in its cup and went to my daddy.

“I’m ready to play!”

With that gentle smile on his face again, the one that melted my heart, he took both of my hands in his.

“Are you sure that you’re okay after this morning, Chloe? You aren’t too sore or tired?”

Touched at his extreme kindness, my heart felt like it was swollen with love for this man.

“I’m great, sweetie. This morning was amazing.”

“I love you, baby.”

“I love you too, honey.”

Leaning down, he planted a soft kiss on my lips. When he pulled away, I couldn’t help but smile up at him.
