Cora
W hen Fox opened my door to check on me, I squeezed my eyesclosed and laid as still as a statue. Pretending to be asleep was a skill I’d perfected when I lived with my dad.
The difference was, my dad wouldn’t care and would wake me up,demandingthatI do something for him like cook him food or go to the store to buy cigarettes. Fox though, he hovered in the doorway for a minute, not stepping afoot in the room before softly closing the door and leaving me to slumber on.
Or so he thought.
The truth was, there was no chance of me sleeping. Not after theconversation I’d overheard.
I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I heard the knock on the door and Ipanicked, thinking my dad had found me. But when I heard Fox talking to a woman, jealousy had burned brighter than the sun, and I couldn’t walk away.
I heard everything.
I had no clue who the woman was, but I’d be lying if I said I hadn’tsighed in relief at hearing Fox tell herthatwhatever had gone on between them was over.
Relief turned to hope when Fox didn’t deny it when shequestioned if there was someone else.
Was I the someone else?
Granted, nothing had happened between us, but over the last coupleof weeks, we’d grown closer. My attraction toward him was stronger than ever. I was probably beingthatstupid little girl again, hoping Fox felt forme what I felt for him. There had been times over the last two weeks when I thought he was going to kiss me, but he never did.
Maybe I was delusional thinkingthatsomething was growing between us, mistaking Fox’s affection for something more than what it was.
Still, the things the woman had said churned over and over in myhead. ‘Does she take your cock down the back of her throat and let you come down it as good as I do? Does her pussy taste as good as mine?’
A familiar throbbing began to pulse between my legs as imagesplayed in my mind. I’d always been curious about sex, of course I had, I was only human, but I’d never met anyone who I wanted to have those experiences with.
Until Fox.
I wanted Fox to do those things to me. I wanted him to be the one toteach me how to pleasure a man. I wanted him to be the first man to be inside me.
I wanted him to be the only man to ever be inside me.
‘Does she get to call you Daddy?’
I knew some men and women had kinks, I wasn’t that naive. And I’dheard of men having Daddy kinks, Ijustdidn’t know anything about it. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to know. Was itjustthe word‘Daddy’he liked to hear? Or was there more to it?
What would it do to Fox if I called him Daddy?
Jumping out of bed, I grabbed the laptop and headphones Fox hadbought me for my birthday, and crept into my ensuite. Fox had taught me how to search the internet using voice controls. I didn’t need to know how to read or type the question, the technology would do it all for me.
“What does it mean to have a Daddy kink?”I whispered into themicrophone. Instantly, reams and reams of information displayed on the screen. I rested my back against the bathroom door and selected the first search resultthathad come up.
And that’s where I stayed until the sun began to rise, researchingeverything I could find out about what it meant to have a Daddy kink.
“Baby girl, you know this,”Fox said calmly after I’d struggled to readthe third paragraph in a row.
His patience for me was never-ending.
We were in the library, sitting side-by-side in the bean bag chair likewe did every time we had a reading lesson.
It wasn’t thatI didn’t understand the words, I was learning, albeitslowly, but I was having a hard time concentrating.
Not only was I exhausted from being awake all night, but thanks toeverything I’d researched in the early hours of the morning, my mind was a mess. Google had not been my friend.
While there had been a wealth of information on Daddy kinks, a lot ofit hadn’t made sense. Information on one website conflicted with information on another. Another website scared the living hell out of me with images of whips and chains. I’d quickly closedthatwebsite down.
I was more confused than ever, and it wasn’t like I could ask Foxabout it, he’d know I was eavesdropping.
“I know, I’mjustnot feeling it today,”I replied glumly, staring down atthe book in my lap and trying to clear my mind of everything but the Harry Potter book I was trying to read.
“Hey, what’s going on?”Fox said, reaching across to take the bookfrom my lap and closing it.
I wanted to tell him. I wanted him to help me make sense ofeverything. I wanted to tell himthatI didn’t understand why excitement pulsed through me at the thought of me calling him Daddy.
But the words wouldn’t come.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t shake the little voice in the backof my head reminding me of the things my dad used to tell me.ThatI was a nobody.Thatno one would ever want me.
I believedthatvoice too. If Fox wanted me, he would have kissed meby now, right? I’d lost count of the amount of times his eyes had dropped to my mouth, and I was certain he was going to close the gap between us and finally press his lips to mine, but he never did.
Maybe I’d gotten it wrong. Maybe Fox didn’t feel the same way aboutme. If I said anything, not only would I embarrass myself, but I’d risk losing a friend because there was no way I’d be able to face him if he rejected me.
I sighed.“Nothing. I’mjusta bit tired,”I said, picking at an invisiblethread on my leggings to avoid his scrutinizing gaze.
“I’m not surprised,”Fox said, a hint of amusement in his voice.“AllthatGoogling you were doing through the night. It must have been exhausting.”
My heart plummeted to my stomach as panic crept up my throat. Myhead whipped to face him, finding him wearing a knowing grin. Never in my life had I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole more than I did rightthen.
“You…know?”I choked out, a crimson flush creeping over my cheeksand traveling down to my neck.
“Baby girl, exploring kinks is nothing to be embarrassed about. Youoverheard Lily last night, and you had questions. That’s perfectly normal,”Fox said casually as if we were discussing the weather.“I wish you came to talk to me about it though. Google isn’t always accurate, and every person is different when it comes to kinks. What some people like, others don’t.”
I gaped at him like a goldfish struggling for air, certain my eyes werebugging out of my head.
“Do you have any questions?”he asked, raising a brow.
Tons.
“No.”I shook my head, my eyes still wide and horrifiedthatI’d beencaught out. There wasno wayI could ask him anything about what I’d learned.
To my surprise, Fox reached over and picked me up like I weighednothing, positioning me so my ass was in his lap and my legs draped over his. One arm wrapped around my lower back with his hand resting on my hip, and he cradled me against his solid body, our faces a mere inch apart.
“Stop looking at me like I’ve sprouted a third head, Cora. I told you,exploring kinks is normal. There’s nothing to be ashamed about.”
I swallowed the embarrassment threatening to consume me.“How…how did you know I’d been looking it up?”
Fox shrugged.“Your laptop is synced to mine. I knew you weren’tsleeping when I looked in on you last night, and when I checked your browsing history this morning, I saw what you’d been researching.”
“Oh.”I didn’t understand what any ofthatmeant, but it didn’tmatter. Fox knew what I’d been looking at.
“Ask your questions, baby girl,”Fox said firmly, his copper eyes filledwith reassurance.
Despite the million questions I had about sex and kinks, the onequestionthathad plagued me more than anything fell from my mouth.“Who wasthatwoman?”
“Lily. I was sleeping with her, but I broke things off with her weeksbefore I met you.”
“Why…erm…did she come here last night?”I asked, curious as towhy she’d turned up if Fox had ended things with her.
Fox scowled.“She developed feelings for me. Feelings I didn’treturn. She thought by turning up last nightthatthings would start up again between us.”
A rush of sympathy shot through me for Lily,eventhough I didn’tknow her. I knew how easy it was to develop feelings for Fox, and I could only imagine how much it would hurt if he didn’t return those feelings.
“Oh,”I replied dumbly, looking down at my lap .
Warm fingers tipped my chin up so I was looking into Fox’s beautifuleyes.“The thing with Lily wasthatI only had a sexual connection with her. No matter how hard she tried, she didn’t fulfill my other needs.”
Did I?
I cursed myself for being so foolish despite the spark of hopethatgrew roots in my belly from the way Fox was staring at me.
“Do you like to tie women up and whip them?”I blurted the otherquestionthathad played on my mind since seeing the website about Daddy Doms, along with pictures of whipsthatlooked like they would hurt.
I wasn’t sure I’d like to be tied up and whipped.
Fox chuckled.“Like I said, baby girl, what turns some people on doesnothing for others. Whips and floggers aren’t my thing. Tying someone up though,”he paused, a mischievous grin creeping over his lips.“Don’t dismiss it until you’ve tried it.”
Why did the thought of Fox tying me to a bed and being completely athis mercy do funny things to me?
“There’s a lot more to being someone’s Daddy thanjustsex though,baby girl.”
“Like what?”I asked, fascinated to hear this coming from Fox ratherthan a random article being read to me by a robot.
He was right, I should have spoken to him in the first place. And withhow open he was talking about it all made me feel more relaxed about asking questions.
“For me, I get pleasure out of looking after the woman I’m with.Taking care of them, making them feel safe, and giving them pleasure turns me on. I never experienced those things with Lily. In fact, I’ve never experienced them with anyone. Until you.”Fox said unabashedly.
My breath caught in my throat, my heart refusing to beat for asecond.
Until you.
“You take care of me,”I whispered, not daring to blink for fearthatif Idid, I’d snap back to reality because this had to be a dream.
“I do, and I enjoy taking care of you.”
“You make me feel safe,”I said, still not tearing my gaze from him.
A small smile crossed his mouth, pride shining in his eyes. His handresting on my hip slid to the top of my thigh, and my heart began to race, especially when I felt something twitch underneath my ass.
When his gaze dropped to my lips like it had done so many timesover the last two weeks, I was powerless to be anything but honest.
“I imagined calling you Daddy,”I breathed, sinking my teeth into mybottom lip when his hand gripped my thigh.
Did he likethat? Did he like hearing me call him Daddy?
I sure as hell liked calling him it.
“And how did that make you feel, baby girl?” he said, almost through gritted teeth.
I freed my lip.“It made me feel something in my belly,”I repliedhonestly.“It…it feels right calling youthat.”
“It feels right hearing you call me it.”
For a moment, neither of us spoke. But when the tension became toomuch, I couldn’t stop words from bursting free from me. Wordsthatnever would have come from me if it wasn’t for the electricity crackling between us, and the unbearable heat running through my body.
“Will you teach me?”
His copper eyes darkened.“Teach you what, baby girl?”
Nervous excitement grew low in my belly. When I answered him, itcame out in a barely-there whisper.“Everything.”
With the handthatwasn’t gripping my thigh, he raised it to brush athumb over my bottom lip, leaving a path of fire in its wake.“Be sure you know what you’re asking, Cora, because I promise you, the second I get a taste of you, I won’t ever let you go. I’ll teach you to take my cock, and my cock only.”
He held my eyes, his dark and serious, mine wide and cautious. Butthere was only one reply to his statement.
“I wantthat. I want you to be my Daddy.”
His hand tightened on my thigh again, his eyes flashing withsomething I’d never seen in them before.
“Thenyou’d better kiss me, baby girl. I’ve waited too damn long tohear you call me Daddy.”
His free hand came up to cup the back of my head before guidingme forward and closing the gap between us. Butterflies went wild in my stomach, only to freeze when it occurred to methatI’d never kissed anyone before.
What if I got it wrong?
“Stop overthinking, Cora,”Fox whispered, his warm breath skatingover my lips.
I sucked in a shaky breath and closed my eyes as I inched forward,my lips pressing against Fox’s as fireworks exploded throughout my body.His grip on the back of my head became firmer, and my hands flew to his chest as the throbbing between my legs intensified.
A growl rumbled in Fox’s chest, and with my lips still pressed againsthis, his mouth opened, along with mine. A soft gasp escaped me when his tongue slid in and gently twirled with mine. I followed his movements, hoping like hell I wasn’t messing it up.
But I must have been doing something right because the bulge inFox’s pants was growing harder underneath me, and pressing into my dampening core.
Fox dropped his hand from behind my head before grabbing mythighs and maneuvering me sothatmy legs were on either side of his, and I was straddling him. Our heavy breaths mingled as we both panted for air.
“That was really your first kiss, baby girl?” he said, awe in his voice.
“Yes,” I paused before adding, “Daddy.”
His eyes blazed fiercely, and a rush of exhilaration flooded me atseeing the effect of calling him Daddy.
“Fuck. I must have been a fucking saint in a previous life to be theone who gets all your firsts.”
His lips were on me again a second later, this time, his kiss moreurgent. He took control, dominating my mouth and showing me he was in charge. It was like he had been testing the water for our first kiss, but now, he was unable to hold back.
Pressure built deep within me, and without realizing it, my hips weregrinding, pressing my core against Fox’s hard length.
“Keep grinding likethat, baby girl, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to takethings slow like I promised myself I would.”
“Sorry, Daddy,”I breathed against his lips as I ground my hips again,my confidence blooming with every passing second.
Fox’s lips pulled into a devious smirk.“Oh, baby girl. I’m going toenjoy teaching you how to behave.”
Anticipation shot through me as my thoughts ran wild with all thethings I wanted Fox to do to me.
His hands ran down my back before he clasped my hips, holding mein place as he thrust up.
“Oh!”I groaned, as pleasure hit me like a lightning bolt.
And then…
His damn phone rang, the shrill tone breaking the heated air aroundus, making it feel like ice water hadjustbeen dumped over my head .
Fox scowled as he reached over the table to grab his phone off theside.“Junior, your timing sucks.”
I made to move off his lap so he could focus on the call, but the handholding my hip tightened, and he gave me the slightest shake of his head, telling me he didn’t want me going anywhere.
“No, I get it,”Fox said, scrubbing a hand down his face. I knew it wasNash on the other end of the line, Fox had told me why he called him Junior, but I couldn’t hear what Nash was saying.“It’s fine. I can go.”
Fox’s eyes narrowed on me as he listened to what Nash said inresponse.“Yeah, tell Sherry there’ll be two of us traveling. We’ll fly out in three hours.”
My brows rose in curiosity. Where was he going?
Fox hung up the phone and tossed it on the seat next to him beforereplacing his hand on my hip again.
“How do you fancy a trip to New York?”
