“Sure,” I mutter, figuring he requires an answer and not being prepared to find out otherwise.
“If she still refuses you after your heartfelt plea, you know where to find me,” he says, giving me a wave. “I help my friends in any way that I can.”
“Anyway?” I mutter under my breath, but of course he fucking hears me.
He laughs and turns back. “You will find me most generous, young Vampire. It is one of my many great traits.” He lets out a sigh of magnitude. “Of course, I have unpleasant ones too.”
I bet he does.
I bite the inside of my lip and take a few steps forward, making a snap decision. He wants to be friends? I can do friends. “Tell me about them while we walk?” I ask, trying to keep the hopeful note out of my tone.
He beams. “Why, of course. I’d be happy to, Stake Bait,” he chortles, leaving me reeling from the slur, yet unable to bite back without losing my head.
Chapter 19
Savannah
After Rook and Theo left, Jerrick also took his leave which left me and Trey alone. It’s not the first time, it won’t be the last, but it is pretty weird.
He chucks me under the chin and then jumps onto the bed.
I roll my eyes. “Seriously?”
“The other men generously gave you to me for an entire week. You think I’m not going to take advantage of that?” he says with a laugh.
“No, I know you are, but I'm still really tired from before and the ordeal with Anders… It’s left me feeling a bit hollow right now. Can we just talk?” I feel so deflated, my shoulders slump, and I sit heavily on the bed.
He is at my side in an instant. “Of course,” he croons, taking me in his arms. “I’m here for you, baby girl.”
I smile as he calls me that. I really love it. I have an idea why he calls me that, but it’s not something we have discussed. Maybe now is that time.
“Why do you call me baby girl?”
He hesitates, not having expected that question, I guess.
“Are you ready for the answer?” he ventures after a moment.
“Yes, of course.”
“During sex, I want you to defer to me, but not just as a sub, more than that. I want you to look up to me, do everything I tell you to andwantto do it.”
“I want that too.”
He shakes his head. “I don’t think I’ve explained it very well,” he mutters. “Jerrick is an alpha male. He is dominant in every way. He will tie you up and whip you while you beg him for more. I’m not into that. I want to instruct you, teach you, show you how to do things that please me, that will please you and will please your other men.”
“I see,” I say. “You want to be my teacher?”
“Something like that.”
“I want that,” I breathe like a fool. He has really turned me on.
“So, baby girl, what are you going to call me? My lord? Sir? Master?” Trey asks wickedly.
With lowered eyes, I bite my lip and then reply, “Daddy.”
He draws in a sharp breath and then lets out a long groan that thrills me. I’ve surprised him. I’m not completely naïve. I know about stuff. I also know that he wouldn’t call me ‘baby girl’ if he wasn’t after this.
“Oh, Savvie,” he murmurs, lifting my chin up so that he can kiss my lips. “You make my dick so hard with just one word.”
