tasted like the sweetest thing I’d ever tasted and all I wanted was more. My tongue licked across her bottom lip, and when she hesitantly opened her mouth, my tongue dove in.
    I felt her hands slide up into my hair and tighten. This was perfect. I pulled her closer to me, wanting to deepen the kiss.
    I wanted to stay like that forever, connected to this beautiful woman, but I knew we couldn’t… tonight. I pulled away, both of us panting for air.
    “W-wow,” she whispered, touching her swollen lips.
    Just like that, my pride swelled as I knew I’d been the one to put that look on her face. “Yeah, wow.”
    “Do you want to do this again tomorrow?” she blurted and then I watched as her face turned bright red.
    I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my face. She was just too adorable for her own good. “Absolutely. I’ll be here at six again, if that’s okay with you.”
    “That works great for me.”
    “Alright. Now I want you to lock this door right after I leave and go straight to bed. You need your sleep, doctor’s orders.”
    “Yes, sir.”
    “Goodnight, Juliana,” I said, opening the door and stepping out of it.
    “Goodnight, Robert,” she said as she closed the door.
    I waited to make sure I heard the click of the lock. When I did, I walked to the elevator. As I waited for it, I couldn’t help but think once again how perfect Juliana was for me. She was shy at first, but once I got her to open up, I could tell she was someone who was adventurous and full of life.
    Right now, though, she needed a strong hand to guide her in the right direction and to take care of her. I would have no problem with that. I knew that as long as I was slow and gentle with her, I could coax her little girl side out and prove to her that I would be the best daddy she’d ever had.
    With that last thought, I knew I had a lot of work to do at my house. If I was planning on having my little girl live there one day, I would need to have a room just for her.

Chapter Seven
     
     
    Robert and I were on our third date, and we’d decided to go to the movies. I thought that would be a great place for a date. Plus, I really wanted to see Guardians of the Galaxy . Chris Pratt shirtless… Hot!
    So, we arrived at the movie theater, bought some snacks and drinks, and found our seats. Everything was great, until the lights turned off and I got scared by the amount of strangers in the theater. I didn’t mind being around people I didn’t know when the lights were on. But now that the lights were off and I couldn’t see anyone that clearly, I began to panic.
    Robert noticed immediately that something was wrong and bent his head to whisper into my ear, “What’s wrong, baby?”
    “It’s dark and… s-strangers,” I whispered back, rubbing my hands together in my lap to try and calm myself.
    “Come over here,” he said, patting his lap.
    I looked around and no one was in the row we were in. Nor was anyone in the row below us or above us, so I got out of my seat and jumped into his lap. My legs hung over the seat I’d just vacated as I laid my head on his shoulder.
    He wrapped his muscular arms around me and asked, “Feel better?”
    “Yes. Thank you.”
    “There’s no need to worry, sweetie. Any monsters or strangers will have to go through me before they can get to you.”
    I smiled. He made me feel very safe, and I snuggled closer to him as the movie started. Throughout the movie, he fed me popcorn and helped me sip the drink we’d bought. That made me feel like a little girl in her daddy’s lap and surprisingly, I was okay with that. I really liked Robert. He was so sweet and patient.
    At the end of the date, he walked me to my apartment door and I convinced him to come inside. We shared some milk and cookies, and then made out on my couch for a solid twenty minutes. It was the perfect end to a perfect date.
    On Friday night, I couldn’t wait to see him again and was so glad he was coming back over to my place for
