By 9 AM, all my business is concluded, and I haven't gotten a wink of fucking sleep. I find Ashton, who has also been up the entire night, brewing coffee in the kitchen.
"Go get some sleep, kid."
He turns to face me, dark circles evident under his eyes. "Sir, there's still work to be done."
"And it will hold till morning. Get everyone who worked overtime home and fresh guards in place. I want extra security with Daisy unless I'm with her. For now, post someone in the hallway to the guest room. I'm going to try to snag a few hours of shut-eye."
"Yes, sir."
I make my way upstairs, stifling a yawn. Carlo, you fucking moron. What were you thinking?
I drag myself into Daisy's room, the door propped open, and her scent is everywhere. Clean and soft and feminine. I can see the cloud of her hair on the pillow, her hands folded under her cheek.
Like a moth to a flame, I make my way to her, shedding my shoes, pants, and shirt as I do, finally crawling between the sheets in just my boxers. Daisy doesn't stir, her breathing even, and I wrap my arm around her waist, tugging her close to me.
It's then that she wakes up.
"Dom?"
"Shh, sweet thing. Just let me hold you."
"Okay," she mumbles sleepily, settling back down.
I press a kiss to her neck, nuzzling my face in the soft strands of her hair.
"Daisy," I say, my eyes closing. "My sweet angel."

The next time I wake up, the sun is high. Groggy, I turn over to find Daisy in bed with me, but fully awake, sitting up and scrolling on her phone. She's dressed for the day already, black leggings that outline every curve and a matching equally tight long-sleeved shirt.
"Morning," I rumble, reaching for her, and she looks at me over her shoulder, biting her lip. Oh, that bottom lip does powerful things to my insides.
"Good afternoon," she corrects with a smirk. "It's 12:15."
I grunt in response, not caring what time it is, or even that I have a full afternoon of work ahead. All that matters is the beautiful woman in bed with me.
"Come here." I pull her back down, and Daisy laughs, setting her phone aside. She puts her hands on my bare chest, her palms cool on my heated skin. I'm hard as iron, which isn't anything new when I'm around Daisy, and I have the most intense hunger to spend the entire day in bed with her.
And then I remember that she's a virgin. Dammit.
I groan, shifting, and Daisy frowns. "What is it?
"Sweet girl, as much as I want you right now, I know that we have to take things slow. There's no reason to rush."
Daisy's cheeks turn pink, and she worries her bottom lip between her teeth. It makes my dick twitch, and I roll away from her before she can tempt me further.
"Come on, let's have brunch."
"Actually, I was hoping I could ask a favor. Which you can totally deny, because you've done me so many favors already that it's ridiculous. But I was hoping maybe we could go get coffee at my old job. I want to get my last check and figure out some way to explain myself for disappearing. Plus I left my laptop in the safe."
I can hear the anxiety in her voice. "Of course, sweet girl. Whatever you want."
Daisy smiles, and my heart squeezes painfully. Goddamn, she's so fucking pretty.
"Let's get something to eat and we can go."
"Oh, and Dom?"
