Page 19 of Pleasing Him

“Yes princess,” I grow, my eyes fastened to her luscious figure. “What is it?”

Lily takes a deep breath, and then looks me in the eye.

“Well, I’ve had a great time with you, Lionel—”

“—but you’re breaking up with me,” I finish for her. “You’re done with this relationship, right? Onto greener pastures, and all that?”

Lily blinks at me, astonished.

“No, why would you think that?” she sputters.

I raise one dark brow at her.

“Well, because I’m your mother’s husband. Or her ex-husband. Or her former husband. Whatever you want to call it.”

Lily cocks her head at me, her gesture adorable.

“But Roberta’s gone, Daddy. And I don’t believe in the dead coming back to haunt the living, either. Besides, I think if Roberta knew about our relationship, she’d be happy for us. More than anything, my mom wanted me to be happy, content, and secure in whatever life I choose.”

Immediately, shame washes over me because Lily’s a thousand times more mature than I give her credit for.

“You’re right,” I mutter, a harsh flush burning my cheeks. “I’m sorry, baby. I apologize.”

“No, no, it’s fine,” my beautiful stepdaughter replies, still shooting me a curious look. “But yeah, maybe what I have to say next will take the wind out of your sails.”

I lean back, shaking my head.

“Nothing could take the wind out of my sails like a break-up, honey. That’s the worst I can think of.”

But Lily looks pensive as she bites her lower lip.

“No, I think this will surprise you, Lionel. You know I love being together. I adore the time we share, and of course, our connection is phenomenal and electric.”

My black brows raise.

“So what is it, sweetheart? Does Minnesota bore you? Do you want to move back to New York? That’s not a problem, honey. I can work remotely these days, with just occasional visits back to St. George. Buying an apartment in Manhattan is no problem, either. I’ve always wanted to live in a penthouse next to Central Park.”

But Lily looks pensive while shaking her head slowly.

“No, it’s not our location, Daddy. It’s, well ... how do I say this? I love being with you except I think I need more.”

I stare at her through the mist, genuinely confused.

“What do you mean by ‘more’?”

Lily’s cheeks color a bit, turning a fetching pink.

“Well, you know that you’re amazing. The double cocks are something I’ve enjoyed beyond my wildest imagination. Theybring me to the brink of ecstasy each and every time we’re together, but—”

“But you need more cock,” I finish for her.

Lily nods, bending her head to stare at her hands, as if she’s ashamed.

“I do,” she whispers in a small voice before looking up at me with pleading eyes. “Please don’t be angry, Daddy. It’s just something that I’ve wondered about, and I fantasize about the scenario often.Toooften. I know it must be difficult to understand when you have double cocks, which is literally twice as much as what a normal man has to offer. You’re probably wondering why I’m not satisfied with what you can give, and how I can possibly want more—”

“I’m not angry at all, princess,” I cut in. “In fact, I’m not even that surprised.”

That makes Lily stop short.
