Daddy's Promise (Daddy & Kitten #3)

"I tried to calculate how long I'd been in the sun. It had seemed like such a short time. 'From now on, when you're outside, you'll have sunscreen on. Plenty of it.' I touched the red line on my thigh gently. It was warm. 'Yes, Daddy.'"EMMA
He calls me Kitten. I call him Daddy.

He gave me a home when I had nothing. He gave me safety when I was terrified. He gave me his name when I was just a girl from St. Catherine's who'd never belonged to anyone.

But safety comes with rules. Love comes with a collar you can't see.

Now he's talking about forever—selling his business, retiring to the beach house, spending the next twenty years with me. He thinks this is what I want.

He doesn't know about the courtyard. About what I watched Julian do to Piper. About how I couldn't look away. About how my body responded.
DADDY
She thinks I don't see her watching. That I don't notice the way her breath catches when Julian is cruel.

But I see everything. I've always seen everything.

I told her I'd never treat her like Julian treats Piper. I meant it.

But here's the thing about they're easy to make when you're the one in control.

The question isn't whether I'll keep my word.

The question is whether she'll still want me when she understands what she's really asking for.

Daddy's Promise is the third book in The Daddy & Kitten Series—an age-gap romance where love comes with conditions, where watching becomes wanting, and where one phone call changes everything. Contains explicit scenes, power dynamics, and themes intended for mature readers only.
