He held out the present to Hadley. With trembling hands she took the beautifully wrapped present.

She stared at him, waiting for further instruction.

“You may open it, little one.”

Gently pulling the ribbon off the box, she shoved it in her pocket, not wanting Santa to think she was a litterbug. She tugged one piece of tape off before neatly unwrapping the rest of the paper. It was a black velvet jewelry box. Opening the lid, she gasped when one of the most beautiful rings stared back at her. It was a multi-diamond, oval-cut in what Hadley would assume was white gold. It was a perfect engagement ring. Was it really hers?

“Hadley?”

She looked up from the box to see her Daddy kneeling in the snow. She looked down at the box and then back at her Daddy before running into his arms so fast they both fell backwards on the snow. Hadley hit her face on the ground before Finn could catch her, but she didn’t care. She covered his face with kisses.

“Yes, yes, yes, yes!” she whispered, her excitement overriding her fear of talking.

She was lifted off him and set on her feet. Then Santa helped Daddy to his feet. Chuckling filled her ears, but she didn’t care.

“Can I ask the question first, Peeps?” Daddy laughed.

She nodded.

Finn took her hand. “Hadley, I love you more than all the stars in the sky and all the sand on the beaches combined. The last week has been the best week of my life and I know I can’t leave the Ranch without making sure I spend the rest of my life with you by my side. Will you marry me, baby?”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”Hadley answered again.

Finn picked the box up from the snow, where it had fallen when she’d plowed into him, and pulled the ring from its velvet nest. He knelt back on one knee and slid it onto her finger. It fit perfectly and sparkled just like the snow. Hadley thought it was the most beautiful engagement ring ever.

“I love you, sweet girl,” Finn said before standing and pulling her into his arms.

“I love you, Daddy.”

Finn took her mouth in a heated kiss full of promise and passion. Master Travis wolf -whistled and Santa pretended to cover Rudolph’s eyes.

Finn released her mouth and laughed. “Best. Christmas. Ever.”

Chapter Nineteen

Finn placed his hand on Hadley’s belly holding her still as he sucked her clit into his mouth. She squirmed and thrashed before gripping his hair in her hand. The band of her engagement ring scraped his scalp and he smiled into her pussy. He still couldn’t believe she was his.

“Daddy!” she cried.

Working two fingers into her dripping cunt, he finger-fucked her gently. She tightened around him before she detonated. He released her clit, pressed a kiss to her mound, and climbed up her body. Positioning his cock at her entrance, he entered her with one hard thrust.

“Umph, Daddy,” she cried. Her back arched in pleasure.

“I love you so much, Peeps,” he whispered against her neck.

“I love you, Daddy,” she answered, her voice breaking.

Finding out his little one was quick to orgasm had been a delight. Knowing she was close again, he reached between them and rubbed her clit before picking up his speed.

“Come for me again, baby. Let me send you to preschool with your little kitty so pleasured all you can do is think of Daddy all day.”

She threw her head back and her body spasmed in time with her pussy. Three thrusts later, Finn found his own orgasm and released his seed inside of her. He was so damn thankful she’d started birth control to regulate her period a few years earlier. Being inside his girl bare was a wonderful feeling.

“Daddy?” Hadley asked, sitting in the bath a little bit later.

“Yes, baby?”

“I talked last night.”
