Seconds later, she replies, Alright.
That’s what I like about Paula. She doesn’t pry. Even after almost catching me and Olivia together, she proceeded with the day like it wasn’t her business.
Now, onto phase two: get Olivia on board.
I get out of bed and throw on a pair of gray sweatpants. I peek into Olivia’s room only to see that she’s not there. We’ll try Violet’s room then.
I smell her before I see her. Hair like strawberries, skin like cream. A dish I could feast on for the rest of my life. When I round the corner, I see her standing by Violet’s crib in her pajamas. The porcelain expanse of her thighs stretching down from her shorts just reminds me how good they felt wrapped around me.
I need more of that.
I come up behind her, then draw her into my arms and rest my chin on top of her head. At first, she startles. I smirk when she realizes that it’s just me, because she lets out this soft little sound, halfway between a horny whimper and a contented sigh, that makes my dick harden and my heart race.
“Don’t be loud,” she scolds in a whisper. “I just fed Violet. She’s getting back to sleep.”
Watching her care for my daughter has my pulse doubling up again. “I won’t.”
I can’t stand not touching more of her, so I slide my hands over her arms. She shudders and squirms, and as she does, her ass brushes against my cock. Fuck, I love the way she feels in my hands.
“Reese…” Her voice is equal parts longing and warning me to cut out my shit.
“Shh. I’m gonna behave.” For now. “I wanna take you out tonight.”
Olivia looks back at me, confusion painted all over her face. “Out?”
“Yeah. Figure a night on the town might be fun.”
I don’t say the rest of the thoughts racing through my head. I need to monopolize as much of your time as possible. I’m hooked. I can’t stop thinking about you.
Olivia nibbles at her lip. Just the motion drives me crazy. She’s got to see the heat in my eyes, too, because her skin flushes a beautiful pink under my gaze.
Remembering my daughter just a foot away, she glances down to Violet. “What about her?”
Good thing I already got that covered. One point to Father of the Year, Reese Dalton.
“Paula’s going to arrange a babysitter. Someone discreet.”
The concern doesn’t leave her face. “But… I don’t know, Reese.” Olivia sighs and pulls away from me, then takes me by the hand and pulls me into the hallway. “What about, you know… the paparazzi? Won’t you going out with someone cause problems?”
Elephant, meet the room. “Hadn’t thought that far,” I admit. “I also don’t give a shit.”
She gives a tinkling laugh in the face of my lack of preparation. Then she puts on her big girl face and draws herself up tall. It’s adorable. I could kiss the practiced scowl right off those perfect lips. “Okay. To get this out of the way, we’re both adults. We’ve had sex before. I’m also your employee. I’ve never done that before. I don’t blur the lines between work and personal.”
Part of me is thrilled to know this is the first time she’s ever slept with a client. No one else has ever gotten to have her like I have. But the other part has my stomach sinking. Is she about to say no to everything? Cut me off?
I don’t think I can let that happen.
She draws in a shuddering breath and continues. “So, if we do this, I need… I need play to be play, and work to be work. If we go out together, I need assurance from you that we do it in a way that’s not going to have this getting out. Especially not getting out and getting back to my agency.”
The tension in my muscles vanishes instantly. I grin. “You wanna be careful? Okay. I can be careful.”
“Which brings me back to my question: what about the paparazzi?”
My smirk widens and I chuckle. “You think every celeb in the area just waltzes out in public looking like themselves? Nah, baby, there are tricks to this game. I got an idea. Go get ready.”
“But Violet?—”
“I’ve got it covered. Promise.”
