Page 71 of Her Daddies' Everything

When he heard the toilet flush, he let out a sigh of relief. Knocking on the door, he didn’t wait for a reply before he stepped in to find her washing her hands.

She gave a scream of shock and turned, her hand on her chest.

He guessed this meant that Little-Immy was gone.

“What . . . what are you doing?” she asked.

“Checking on you,” he said.

“You were in my bedroom?”

He tilted his head to the side. “You can’t remember the last fifteen minutes?”

“Um. No?”

Huh. Interesting.

“You opened the hotel door and let me in,” he told her, leaning against the doorway. He wanted to give her some space since she looked freaked out. But he wasn’t going to completely back away.

Last thing he wanted was for her to think she should be ashamed. Did she really have no memory of what just happened? Or did she force herself to bury it?

“I did? Oh, sorry. I can’t seem to remember.” She looked slightly ill as she said that.

He got that. It could be scary to lose moments of your life.

“I don’t remember that or coming in here.”

He might need to tread carefully, but he also didn’t want to lie to her. Or keep things from her. From what he’d observed, everyone tried to shelter Immy. Which was admirable.

But they weren’t always doing her a favor.

Sometimes she needed to know what was going on for her own safety.

“You climbed me like a tree.”

She blinked at him, her mouth opening and shutting. “I did not!”

Tobias frowned slightly. “Ahh, yeah, sweetness. You did.”

“Nope. I wouldn’t do that.” She crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot.

Cute.

He had to hide his grin.

“You sure did. Then I sat with you on my lap. You pushed yourself under my T-shirt so you could get close to my bare skin.”

“I did not!” she protested. But there was a concerned look on her face as she stared at his T-shirt, which was stretched out slightly.

Not that he gave a shit.

It was actually a reminder of how she’d nestled in close to his chest. Something he’d liked.

A lot.

“But you were squirming around so much that I figured you might need to go to the bathroom, so I brought you in here.”

“No,” she said with clear horror on her face.
