Chapter 12
Taara
Stefan has something on his mind. I don’t want to ruin this moment, with the two of us still lying together like this it feels sacred, stolen even. But it matters to me what he thinks. I need to know what concerns him.
My feelings for him are resurfacing. I know that now, and while a part of me yells warning in my head, I can’t help but want to let myself love him again. Can I go there?
“What is it, Stefan?” I ask, then I gentle my voice. “Daddy? Is something bothering you?”
I know it is by the way his gaze is distant and clouded, but when he looks back to me, he smiles, his eyes crinkling around the edges, and he kisses my temple.
Predictably, he doesn’t answer the question but turns it back on me.
“Tell me what’s on your mind,” he says.
“No fair,” I respond. “That’s what I asked you.”
In response, he tugs a lock of my hair. “Who’s the daddy?”
Aw, hell, that really isn’t fair. “You,” I say. It’s like he pushes a button when he says that and I get all melty and submissive, which isn’t really me at all, but apparently is me when I’m with Stefan and he pulls the daddy card.
“It’s crazy how hot that is,” I tell him.
“Crazy?” he repeats, his lips quirking upward.
“Crazy,” I repeat.
But he only shrugs a shoulder. “Not sure why.”
“No?” I ask.
“And anyway, I like crazy,” he says. “So yeah, this is hot to me. Having you on me like this, all starry-eyed and disheveled…” He strokes his fingers through my hair, his voice rumbling and unhurried. “The way you came with my name on your lips. Your ass still hot to the touch and striped with my belt.” My heart thumps. “And yeah, baby. The way you call me daddy.”
He holds me to him wordlessly for a moment before he continues. “And I don’t need to ask why or how or what the hell this means. I just know that I like it.”
I rest my head on his chest. I guess his quiet reassurance is good enough for me, too.
“Now,” he says. “Where were we? You were telling me what’s on your mind. Where do you go when you get that distant look in your eyes?”
“I get a distant look in my eyes? Me? I was just thinking that about you.” Seems we’re both distracted.
He chuckles, ignoring my mention of him. “By my calculation, you’re somewhere in the Far East right about now.”
That makes me smile. “I don’t know,” I say truthfully. “I go lots of places, I guess.”
“Tell me one,” he suggests. “It’ll be a good start.”
“You want to know what’s on my mind?” I clarify.
“Yes,” he says earnestly. “But more than that.” He smoothes his large hand over my elbow. “I want to know what’s on your heart. What you fear. What you hope for.”
“Really?” I ask.
“Why do you question me?” he asks, his brows furrowed. “Why wouldn’t that matter to me?” I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me if what Caroline told me is true.
