I blinked at him, fighting a smile. "You have bath toys?"
He shrugged, looking a bit sheepish. "Every boy needs something to play with in the tub, and I was kind of hoping we'd get here at some point so I might have gotten a few things for my boy."
That broke the sleepy fog long enough for me to giggle and rush into his arms for a cuddle.
"Go on, baby," he said, brushing my hair off my forehead. "Get undressed. I'll grab you a towel."
By the time I stepped into the bath, the water was the perfect temperature. The bubbles came up to my chin, and I couldn't resist pushing a few of the dinosaurs through the foam. Within minutes I'd started a very serious battle between the herbivores and carnivores.
Colter came back in and crouched beside the tub, resting his arms on the side. "You having fun, buddy?"
I nodded, my voice coming out smaller than I meant it to. "The herbivores are winning."
He grinned, dipping his hand into the water to steal a bit of foam and drop it on top of my head like a crown. "Of course they are. Everyone knows they're the best."
The warmth, the bubbles, and the sweet Daddy all wrapped around me making me feel more safe than I ever have. When he started washing my body with a soaped up sponge I could barely keep my eyes open.
"Almost done, baby boy," he murmured, his voice a low rumble. "Then we'll get you into jammies and tucked up in bed."
I hummed again, the word 'kay' barely making it past my lips.
Before I knew it he was helping me out and had me wrapped in a fluffy towel. My legs felt too wobbly to stand. Daddy didn't seem to mind, though. He just chuckled softly and scooped me up like I weighed nothing. And I guess to a Daddy as big, and perfect as he was, I did.
I was only half awake as he dried me, dressed me and tucked me into bed with a soft kiss on the top of my head before promising to take the dogs out one last time.
Before I could even think to protest my eyes fell shut and I was completely lost to the world, quickly dreaming of Santa Daddies, dogs chasing cats around a Christmas tree, and a mistletoe bunch so big it almost looked like it could be a tree on its own.
Chapter 18
Iwoke up warm and safe, cocooned in Colter's arms. For a second, I didn't remember how I got here and then everything slowly came back to me.
His body was solid behind me, one big hand resting low on my stomach, his breath tickling the back of my neck.
I didn't move. To be honest, I had no urge to. Everything about this was perfect and I wanted it to carry on for just a bit longer.
When I shifted slightly, he hummed low in his chest, pulling me closer until my back was flush against him. His lips brushed the curve of my shoulder, soft at first, then firmer. Unable to stop myself any longer, I turned in his arms, meeting his mouth in a deep, slow, and lazy kiss. It didn't take long for it to turn into something just a bit...more.
I pressed up against him, wrapping my arms around his neck and allowing my bulge to grind against his.
A soft moan escaped my lips, and Colter bit down on my bottom lip before soothing it with a gentle kiss.
"This is definitely one of my favourite ways to wake up," I murmured against Colter's lips.
"Hmmm," he responded, his lips tipping up in a smile. "Morning, baby boy. Sleep well?"
I nodded in response, continuing the slow, sensuous grinding against Colter's erection. His hands gripped my waist, and I had a feeling he was fighting between deciding if he wanted to stop me, or encourage me to go faster.
"You're playing a dangerous game, Jericho," he warned, his voice nothing more than a low growl.
I grinned at him. "I'm not playing it very well, it seems. Because we're both still dressed, and I don't have your cock burried deep inside me."
His hands tightened against my waist and he pulled me closer. "Naughty boy."
I laughed and shook my head. "I think you meangoodboy, Daddy." Then my hand moved down, down, down between our bodies and I cupped his erection. "Now the question is, have I been good enough to be rewarded with my Daddy's cock?"
Colter's hand moved around my back and slipped into my pants, his finger going directly for my needy hole. "You deserve everything you want, baby."
Everything quickly evolved into a mess of kisses, hands pushing clothes out of the way, and slow, caresses. Before I knew what was happening, we were both naked, Colter was pushed up against me in bed, two fingers buried deep inside me as he stretched me out.
