“You don’t know that,” Larkin said in a rush. “I just don’t want you to lose him if you love him. I think we all have to make adjustments. We’re all new to this.”
“I should try, at least.”
“All three of us should,” Brylee said.
“I agree,” Larking said. “We’ll all act less needy, and maybe they’ll like us better.”
Aleena picked the doll back up and smoothed her hair. “The last thing I want to do is disappoint Kaleb.”
“We don’t have to make it obvious. When we go downstairs, I say we sit away from the men and maybe call them by their names more,” Larkin suggested.
“Yes.” Brylee nodded. “We all can do this, but we have to be subtle.”
The girls jumped when Darian yelled up the stairs to tell them it was just about time for dinner. They all stood and grabbed each other’s hands and marched down the stairs. When they got to the living room doorway, they paused until they found chairs away from their daddies.
All three sat and waited with their hands in their laps and no expression on their faces.
“What are you doing over there?” Darian asked Larkin.
“I’m sitting waiting for dinner, Darian.”
All three men’s eyebrows rose.
“What’s going on?” Kaleb asked.
Aleena shook her head and tried to smile. “Nothing, Kaleb. We’re just trying to be patient.”
Kaleb narrowed his eyes. “Why?”
Aleena looked over at the other two girls. Her shoulders relaxed when they both smiled at her, giving her the support she needed. “I … we want to … be less…” She paused as she tried to think of the right word.
“Needy,” Brylee injected helpfully.
“Who’s says you’re needy?” Gage asked.
“Um, we don’t think anyone said it lately,” Larkin began. “But it’s always a good idea to grow as a person. Don’t you think?”
The other two girls nodded.

Kaleb looked at Darian and Gage, confused. He saw the same puzzlement on his friends’ faces, and it made him feel a little better.
“Sir, dinner is served,” Elder said from the doorway.
Darian stood. “Thank you, Elder. Let’s eat. We’ll figure everything out later.”
Kaleb stood and grabbed Aleena’s hand as she passed. Aleena pulled her hand from Kaleb’s grip and walked away.
The three men frowned when all three women trotted into the dining room and took the three chairs on one side of the table.
Darian took the head of the table, and the other two men took the other side, across from the girls. They watched as Larkin started to tuck the napkin in the collar of her shirt, pause, and then drape it over her lap. The other two followed.
Brylee cleared her throat. “May I have a glass of wine?”
Gage shook his head at Brylee. “No.”
Aleena glanced up at Kaleb. “I think a small glass would be refreshing.”
Kaleb’s head was spinning, trying to figure out what had happened to change his little.
None of the girls drank. They all were extremely lightweight when it came to alcohol consumption, and it didn’t take them long to get drunk.
Darian looked at the men. “I don’t think one glass would hurt. Do you?”
Gage opened his mouth to disagree and caught the look and smile on Darian’s face. He nodded when he understood.
If the girls were tipsy, they were more likely to talk about what was going on.
Darian called out to Elder. “Can you get the girls a glass of wine, please?”
Elder’s eyebrows rose, but he didn’t say anything. He was back with a tray with three wine glasses and a bottle of wine. “I brought red because it will go with the beef you’re having tonight.” He started to pour Larkin’s and saw Darian indicate to fill the glass. He filled them all to the top and set the wine down by Darian.
“Will there be anything else, sir?”
“No, thank you, Elder.”
Kaleb and Gage coughed to cover their laughs when all three sipped at the wine and tried but failed to hide how much they disliked the taste.
Two maids walked into the room and set a bowl of soup in front of each person. The meal lasted for an hour, and in that time, Darian silently stood to walk up behind the girls and topped off their wine without them knowing until the bottle was gone.
The men watched the women slowly get drunk. The more wine they had, the louder they got, and the more they giggled.
“Why don’t we go into the office?” Darian suggested and stood. He snorted, and the other two men chuckled when the women stood, bumped into each other, and fell in a heap of arms and legs to the floor, giggling boisterously.
All three men were there to help get the girls untangled and stand up to their feet.
Aleena pulled away from Kaleb when he tried to wrap an arm around her waist.
“I’m good, Kaleb. I don’t need help.”
Kaleb stood back and watched her walk a little unsteadily into the office.
Gage slapped him on the back. “Don’t worry. We’ll get answers.”
“We better,” Kaleb grumbled and followed the rest into the office. He scowled as he came through the door when he saw the women squished together on one of the big chairs in the room.
Darian handed Kaleb and Gage a glass half-filled with scotch before he turned a chair to face the girls and sat, making himself comfortable.
“Girls.” Darian tried to get their attention. He watched as they struggled to fit in the chair.
Kaleb rolled his eyes. “Aleena, come here,” he demanded.
“No, thank you, Kaleb. I can sit all by myself.”
“But I want you to sit with me.”
“I don’t want to be a bother.”
The men watched as all three women froze, and then they seemed to deflate before their eyes.
“What if I would like my girl to sit with me?” Gage asked.
Brylee shook her head. “I don’t want to be a nuisance, da … Gage.”
“What makes you think that?” Gage asked her gently.
“Us girls talked, and we don’t want you to get sick of us, so we are going to try to be more mature and less needy.”
Gage’s brows snapped down. “Where did you get that?”
“From Larkin,” the other two girls said.
“What did Larkin say?” Darian asked as he watched Larkin giggle. She tried but failed to hide behind the other two.
“She said Kaleb didn’t want a needy little, so I’m going to try not to be like that.”
“And we decided we should be less needy, too,” Brylee pipped up. “We don’t want you guys to throw us away.”
Agitated, Kaleb ran a hand down his face. All three girls had come from foster care and hadn’t had an easy time of it. He vaguely remembered when he had said that months before and how Larkin had overheard him. He thought they were past it after she tried to run away after. He knew Darian had punished and then loved the woman until she couldn’t walk for a few days without feeling the ache from the fucking he’d given her.
“Is that why you’re calling us by our names?” Darian asked.
All three girls nodded.
“We’re big girls. I mean, mature women,” Larkin told him.
“But what if I want my little the way she is and have her call me daddy and want to sit with me all the time?” Gage asked patiently and then held a hand out to Brylee.
Brylee sniffed and struggled out of the chair. She fell on all fours, tripping over her own feet.
Gage went to stand to get her but heard her giggling and then start crawl over to him. She climbed up into his lap, almost pinching his balls with her knee, and wrapped her arms around him.
“I won’t change if that’s what you want, daddy.”
Gage stood with her in his arms. “I’m taking my girl to bed so she can sleep this off. I’ll see you all in the morning.”
The
other four watched Gage carry her out.
Darian’s gaze landed on his girl. “Larkin, it would make me very sad if you changed. I love you just the way you are, and I get lonely when you’re not on my lap.”
Larkin gasped and then stood, grabbing onto the chair to steady herself before walking to where Darian sat. She plopped down in his lap and tried to kiss him but lost her balance and fell back in his arms, and her lips landed on his shoulder.
Darian sighed, set his glass down, and lifted her into his arms. “I’m taking her to bed. Night.”
Kaleb waited until the two were gone before he turned back to Aleena. He cleared the emotion that clogged his throat when he saw her leaning sideways in the chair and tears running down her cheeks.
He stood and gathered her in his arms. He shushed her when she tried to talk. “Let’s get into bed so I can talk to you.”
Aleena nodded and tightened her arms around his neck.
Chapter Sixteen
Kaleb laid Aleena on the mattress and quickly undressed her before himself. He moved her until they were both lying down with their heads on the pillows and facing each other.
Kaleb wiped the tears that continued to fall from Aleena’s eyes.
“Baby, I’m trying to find the words to get through to you that I want you just the way you are.”
“But I see the way you look at me sometimes,” she complained.
A frown of confusion pinched his brows together. “How?”
“Like you’re disgusted with me. I know I whine too much. You don’t like it when I beg, and I’m always crawling into your lap even when you’re busy.”
Kaleb smoothed her hair away from her face and smiled gently. “Never have I ever been disgusted by anything you’ve done. I think you’re perfect for me, and I’d be upset if you changed.”
Aleena sniffed. “How about when you use your gruff voice with me?”
“That isn’t because of you, baby. I’m an impatient bastard. I’ve always been like that. I’m trying to mellow, but it will take me a while. Having you in my life has helped more than I can tell you. In the future, can you come to see me if you have any concerns before they build into something like tonight?”
“I’ll try, daddy.”
Kaleb gripped a chunk of her hair on the back of her head and pulled it back. “How about this? If you don’t, your daddy will punish you so you’ll feel it for days.”
“You’ll spank me?”
“No, baby, I’ll fuck your tight ass and make it burn.”
Aleena bit her lip and looked down. “But I like it when you…”
“Fuck your ass?”
“Yes,” she whispered.
He flipped her over on her stomach and grinned when she screeched.
Aleena looked over her shoulder. “Daddy?”
“I need to make sure you’re not drunk before I fuck you.”
She shook her head. “I’m not, I’m just a little tipsy.”
“Good. Now I’m going to give you what you’re asking for but a taste of what I threatened.”
“You’re going to poke my bottom?” she asked and giggled.
Kaleb ran his hand down her smooth back, delved in between her ass cheeks, and pressed on her asshole with one finger. “Yes, baby, daddy is going to poke you right here,” he murmured against her shoulder before pressing a kiss on her soft skin and slid his finger inside her.
“Daddy, that stings,” she complained.
“I know. I didn’t use any lube, so I’m going in dry.”
Aleena wiggled her ass, trying to move away from him only to have him pull out and push two fingers into her.
“Settle down, or I’ll fuck you without lube.”
Aleena instantly froze. She tried to relax her bottom as he finger fucked her for a minute.
Kaleb pulled his fingers out and reached over her, then pulled open the nightstand drawer and drew out a tube. He sat up next to Aleena’s hip, separated her butt cheeks, and squeezed a large dollop of gel into her anus. Then he tossed the tube away. He grabbed a pillow, lifted her hips, and shoved it under her stomach, raising her at an angle that made penetrating her ass easier.
“You’re going to take your daddy up your bottom, aren’t you?”
Aleena clutched at the sheet with both hands and laid her cheek down, giving herself over to him. “Yes, daddy.”
Kaleb pulled on a condom, threw one of his legs over her hips, and used his knees to press hers together. “Don’t spread your legs. I want you to be tight.”
“Can I touch my button?”
He nuzzled her neck. “Not yet, I want you to feel me stretch you first.”
He watched her relax into the mattress before sitting back on his haunches and prying apart her ass. He lined up his cock and pushed it in an inch. He straightened his legs to lay on either side of her and kept most of his weight off her, balancing on his elbows on either side of her shoulder. God, he knew she loved it when he fucked her like that. He could tell by the desperate sounds she made.
“Ready, baby?”
“Oh, yes,” she said breathlessly and tried to lift her hips up toward him.
“Tell me if you feel real pain.”
“I will.”
Kaleb steadily pushed forward, separating the tender tissue of her anus to delve as far as he could go.
“Shh. Easy. It’s okay. Daddy’s got you,” he murmured soothing words to her when she whimpered.
“Good girl.” Kaleb slid in and out a few times, gritting his teeth because of how tight she was. He knew he wouldn’t last long and needed her to come first. “Get your hand under you and play with your button.”
Aleena did what he said. The first touch of her finger to her clit tightened her on his cock, making them both groan.
“Fuck.” Kaleb growled and picked up his pace when he felt how close she was. He thrust in one, two, and three more times before they both exploded. Her scream and his groan filled the room.
Kaleb’s breath seesawed in and out of his lungs as he braced his weight on arms that trembled. When he gained some of his strength back, he pulled out of her. He placed a kiss on one of her shoulders when she whimpered and then went into the bathroom.
He showered quickly and wet a washcloth. He smiled when Aleena grumbled in her sleep but stayed still. He tossed the washcloth on top of the nightstand and climbed in behind Aleena.
He nuzzled her neck and kissed the top of her head before he relaxed against his pillow.
“Don’t you ever change for me, baby, and don’t ever think of leaving me,” he murmured.
He grinned when she whispered, “Okay,” in her sleep.
“I love you.”
Kaleb felt tears burn his eyes as he tightened his arms around her. “Oh, baby. I love you so much. You’re my whole world.”
Aleena smiled, hummed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Kaleb held her into the wee hours of the morning before sleep finally claimed him.
His last thought was how lucky he’d been to find someone like her, and he knew he’d do whatever he needed to keep her.
