Mine

Chapter 5

My eyes shot open as I propped myself up in bed to look around. I calmed my breathing as I saw I was in Cole's bedroom not Marcus's bedroom. God, it has been months since I had a nightmare about him but I did last night. Hmm, it is probably because I talked about him. That is why I don't speak of him? It does more damage than good most of the time.

"Princess are you ok?" I yelped and jumped up in fright making me flat on my butt. I rubbed my butt as I whined "Ouch." As I rubbed my sore butt I looked up and saw Cole leaning on the door with a cup of coffee in hand. A coffee he sat down on the dresser so he could walk over to me with a worried look on his face.

Cole grabbed my hands to help me up as he asked "Are you, ok princess?"

I rubbed my butt again as I pouted "Yes I suppose but that hurt." Cole pulled me to him to hug me close to him making me wrap my arms tightly around his body. I relaxed into him as his smell enveloped my body. Mmm, I snuggled into his bare chest as Cole asked "What is wrong? You shot up from the bed as white as snow Stella."

"I had a nightmare daddy."

Cole growled and picked me up bridal style making me cling to him as I yelped. He carried me into the bathroom and sat me on the edge to start a bath. I watched as he did and asked "Are you ok you seem mad?" Cole's eyes softened when he looked at me and said "I am fine princess." He is lying to me but why? I want to ask but what is the point I know won't tell me he seems the type to keep his feeling to himself.

Cole pulled away from the tub and pulled me on my feet to unbutton the shirt I was wearing. I let him slip it off my body and just looked around the room. Cole must have noticed my discomfort because he said "Stella I can leave if you wish." Do I want him to go? I don't but then I do want him to go.

I fought myself and mumbled, "I..it is fine." I need to get over Marcus. I don't want him controlling my life forever and maybe this is my first step.

"I won't touch you princess" Cole said as he unhooked my bra. I let it slide off and then cover myself up as he kneeled to take my thong off. Cole had a lust-filled look but instead of touching me, he helped me into the tub. He shut the water off and stood up to slip his robe off. He hung it up as he said, "Get your hair wet Stella." I did what he said and sat back up to watch him walk back over to the tub.

Cole kneeled next to the tub and grabbed some shampoo making me say "I can wash up daddy. I am fine now I promise." Not really but he doesn't need to know that or worry about me. I hate to have him worry over something like a nightmare.

"I know that princess but I want to help you relax...You are still shaking from fear you know." I looked down to see he was right I was. I blushed as he chuckled and say "Don't be embarrassed Stella I am sure the nightmare was scary. No one will hurt you again I swear." I nodded my head yes and let him wash my hair after all there was no telling him no. It felt nice having his hands massaging my hair but weird. I will admit I feel like a child somewhat but it is still nice.

Cole washed his hand off and said "Can you do the rest or should I..."

"NO, I can wash up" I yelped. Yes, he has seen me naked but never touched me. No man has touched me since Marcus at least sexually. A hug but even then I tense up. Cole was the first man I kissed or had any sexual interaction in a year. That rewarded me a chuckled from Cole as he stood up and mumbled something but I couldn't hear him. Before I could ask he left the bathroom making me start to finish up my bath. Why is he nice to me? No one has done this for me ever. My family has always been there for me but I don't think they understand how I feel.

I hummed as I finished up I slipped out to dry off. Once I was I wrapped the towel around my body and look up to see Cole coming inside. I blushed and looked away making him laugh "You are adorable, princess."
