He froze, unable to process her words, even though they were the ones he wanted to hear. Was it really that easy? It was too great a gift, too large a treasure to be that easy. “Are you sure? Because if you say yes, it’s yes forever. You will be mine, and I will never let you go. I’ll drive you crazy. You only think I’ve been protective and possessive up to now. When I claim you, you’re mine and I’ll never let you go.”

She threw her arms around his neck and covered his face in kisses. “I love you, too, Daddy. Deeper and wider and longer than I have words to express. I have since the moment I met you. You’re my Viking and I’m your fairy cat, for now and forever. But you can’t claim me now.”

His heart was so full, he feared it might burst in his chest. She loved him. She wanted to be with him forever. Wait, what had shesaid about not claiming her now? “What do you mean I can’t claim you now? Why the hell not?”

“Silly Daddy, remember? I claimed you weeks ago. And you claimed me back. That’s why you confused me. I’m not going anywhere, Daddy, but we’ve already been claimed.”

“We have?” He wouldn’t have forgotten something like that. A claim was a powerful thing. “When did we claim each other, babygirl?”

“The very first time we played chase, Daddy. Remember? I licked you, and you licked me back. That’s the most sacred claiming of all.”

He blinked. Twice. Then he threw back his head and laughed. And here he’d been worried all this time. However, she was both right and wrong. Licking was the most sacred claim of all, but he was absolutely claiming her tonight. Over and over, until he’d claimed every inch of her.

CHAPTER 21

Her Daddy loved her. And he wanted to make love to her. A smart Little girl would let her Daddy take over. She’d be compliant and let her Daddy take control.

She could simply lie back and let him sweep her off her feet, loving her all night long. But where was the fun in that? Okay, there was a lot of fun in that, but she was in the mood to be chased, captured, and ravaged.

Lovie had no problem with her Daddy taking control… if he could. But right now, she didn’t want to be made love to by her Daddy. She wanted to be taken by her Viking.

You didn’t just open the door and invite a Viking to cuddle on the couch. One of the most freeing parts of their play was that she could run. She could fight, really fight, and be overcome. She didn’t often get to feel overpowered. She wasn’t exactly a fragile hot-house flower.

Was dominance really dominance if her Viking didn’t fight for it? She hopped off his lap and backed away from him. Not that she wanted to get away. No. But she did want to tempt and tease. How far could she push himbefore he snapped?

Fascinated, she watched the Daddy in his eyes fade and the Viking come alive. His golden eyes focused only on her, gleaming with intent as only an alpha predator could. He stood and slowly prowled toward her, stripping off his shirt as he moved.

It was a dirty trick, and it worked. She became so caught up in watching the huge muscles in his arms and chest flex and ripple, she forgot where she was until her back connected with the island counter in the kitchen.

She had no room to move and no escape. He lunged for her, but at the last minute she ducked and escaped underneath his arm. His growl sent adrenaline coursing through her veins. Her heart raced as she ran to the far side of the island and glanced through the glass wall and the rain. The thunder still rumbled as it continued to pour down. Each clap jarred her nerves. So, going outside was out, but maybe she could use that to trick him.

“Are you really going to make me chase you, fairy cat?” He moved left down the edge of the counter, so she did, too. “Are you sure?”

She really was. Tonight, she wanted the thrill of the chase, and she knew he did as well. “I think the question, Viking, is do you think you can catch me?”

His eyes narrowed at her challenge. Um… yikes! Exhilaration flashed through her, sparking her pussy to life. She took in a quick breath, hoping it would quiet her nerves, but it didn’t.

“The longer it takes me to catch you, fairy cat, the longer I will play with you before I let you come.”

She glanced at his cock, the bulge already more than evident as it pressed against his jeans. It didn’t look like it would be that long.

Spotting the direction of her stare, he answered the question she wondered, but didn’t have the nerve to ask. “I didn’t say it would be a long time before I came, naughty girl. Only you.”

That shouldn’t make her wet, right? But it did. So, so wet for him. He’d said he was going to fuck her all night. Was this thenight he’d take her virginity? Could she take that monster cock inside her?

He moved again, and she countered. If he shifted left once more, she’d be close enough to the door to make it outside. Maybe she should forget her fear and go for it. She could lose him in the darkness of the trees. But not too much. She was scared of the rain, and spooky trees whistling and whispering in the wind wouldn’t help.

Thunder rocked the walls again as lightning lit the sky. On second thought, she didn’t need to be outside for him to chase her. If the past was an accurate prediction of the present, she wouldn’t get that far, anyway.

Misgivings attacked her confidence. How would she run away inside? What had she been thinking?

The smile on her Viking’s face was just short of sinister. Maybe this had been a bad idea. “You should have told me you wanted to play, fairy cat. I have some special things to add to our evening, now that I know.”

She couldn’t wait any longer. Hopefully, she was close enough to the door. She feigned right, then darted to the left. He matched her movements. Thank God that hadn’t worked!

He feigned twice, coming back toward her and grabbing her around the waist just as she reached the door. Without pause, he tossed her over his shoulder as if she weighed nothing.

With a smack to her bottom, he headed for his bedroom. “Gotcha, little fairy cat. Now the real games begin.”
