Chapter Fifteen
Gavin wrapped a towel around his waist and walked back into the bedroom and over to Chase before he squeezed his shoulder.
Chase looked up. “How’d it go?”
“I think it went very well. Did she settle down at all?”
He shook his head. “No, she cried herself to sleep. I got her in the shower and her gown, and she cried for you the whole time.” He stood with Alexa in his arms and handed her over to Gavin.
“She didn’t seem afraid of you at all?”
Chase shook his head. “No. I think she remembered you telling her I’d take care of her if you were busy.”
“She’s a good girl.”
“She is that. I’ll head out, but call me if you need me,” Chase said.
“Thank you. You’re the only one I trust with her.”
“I’d be the same way. Good night.”
“Night.”
Gavin heard the elevator door slide closed before laying her on the mattress. He pulled off the towel he had wrapped around his waist and then the nightgown Alexa had on.
He started kissing her face and neck until she woke. She blinked a few times, and then her eyes filled with tears. “Oh, God, Daddy,” she cried and hugged him tightly.
“Hey, it’s okay. Weber will never hurt you or anyone else again.”
“Did you get hurt?” she asked
“No, baby. I’m perfectly fine.”
“He said such awful things.”
“I know. I heard it all,” he said.
She blinked. “Wait, how?”
“The necklace you have on.”
She lifted it off her chest to look at it. “This?”
“Yes, I had it made so if you ever got lost, I’d be able to find you. I also had a microphone inserted so I could hear what was going on around you. I could hear you guys talking and everything the fucker said.”
He didn’t know how she’d take the news that he was spying on her, and he was still surprised that she cried and hugged him tightly. “Oh, thank God.”
He grinned. He certainly wasn’t expecting that.
He held her for a long time. Just the feel of her in his arms calmed him. Not enough to go to sleep, but he was just glad to have her safe at home.
“Daddy, I need you.”
He rolled them until she was on her back and he was between her legs. “I’m right here.”
“C … can we do the bottom thing? Weber talked about taking that cherry, and I want all of me to belong to you.”
He studied her and saw the almost frantic, wild look in her eyes. Her body was tense, and she couldn’t seem to settle.
