Traded (Nashville Grizzlies, #1)

by Carly Marie

You were so certain that your needs would turn me off, but nothing in the last few hours has made me feel differently. I still think you’re amazing, sexy, and kind. And I still think that you’re adorable.”

“You have no idea how hard I came last night when I got in bed, thinking about you beneath me, making all those beautiful noises as I blew you on the counter. Holy shit. You were perfect.”

“You may this time, but next time you’re making yourself feel good without permission, you’re not going to get to come at all.” He swallowed hard then nodded his head. “I understand. Thank you.”

A snack, bath, and playtime before an early bedtime was definitely in order for my overworked little bear.

“Snack and Moana?” I was not above begging. Brax pulled into the driveway, his eyebrow climbing high on his forehead. “Do you really want to argue with me, little bear?”

“Thank you, Daddy.” He’d barely whispered the last word, but my heart would have been hard-pressed to believe he hadn’t announced it to the world. “You’re welcome, little bear.”

For the first time, I could understand how Trevor must have felt when he knew he was mine. It was safety and security and a sense of belonging that came from being with people who loved you.

“You didn’t have to do that.” Brax’s eyes twinkled. “I know. But I like doing things for you. It’s so easy and your smile makes it even better.”

I like taking care of you. I like taking care of you when you’re feeling little, but I also like taking care of you when you’re not. I like taking care of my boyfriend. I like letting you know that I’ve heard you and seen you and that you’re special to me.”

“I love you, Trevor. I love you as my boyfriend, as my little, as my friend, as my teammate. I’m so happy you gave me the chance, trusted me enough to give you this.”
