There was a pause.
“Oh, daddy says I can’t tell you. But it’s good.”
“Can you hint?”
“No. You know I’m horrible at that.” Aleena’s voice got soft again. “Does he make your pussy wet?”
Travis held back a laugh when he heard Kaleb yell in the background as he stood outside the bathroom. He shouldn’t be eavesdropping, but he would take all the information he could to settle her down.
“All right. Don’t get your panties twisted,” Aleena told Kaleb and turned back to her conversation.
Travis almost snorted at that. He knew she’d be getting punished for it.
“Hey, I have to go.”
“Are you in trouble?” Nia asked.
Aleena sighed dramatically. “Yes. We’ll talk when you get here.”
“Hey, wait. You really like Travis?”
“Yes. He’s a great guy.”
“Okay. Thank you. I’ll see you soon.”
Travis moved back to the bed and reached out when Nia walked back into the room and handed the phone back to him. Then he pulled her onto his lap.
“Do you feel better?”
She bit her lip as she stared at him and then nodded.
His hold tightened when she tried to get up.
“Travis, I’m not ready to sleep. Let me walk a bit.”
“Baby, you’re exhausted.”
“I’ve been more tired before.”
His brows snapped down. This woman needed someone to take care of her, and he was just the guy to do it.
Chapter Seven
“Can you put your trust in me?”
Nia stared at him and then nodded.
She screamed when he stood with her under one of his arms. She laughed and hit his thigh. “What are you doing?”
“We’re going to get in the bed. You need your sleep. Just try.”
She giggled when he dumped her on the mattress.
“Get in, baby.”
She watched him for a moment and then slid between the sheets. Her heart felt like it was going to pound out of her chest, but she tried to keep her breathing normal. She bit down on her lip when he slid in beside her, turned the light off, and then lay down.
