"So, should I call him and tell him that you're going?" I asked.
She was upset, "Do you want me to leave that badly?"
"No, I don't," I replied, "I would rather you stay."
A smile formed on her face, and it turned into a mischievous smirk. "So you'll rather me stay, and why is that?"
"Because I want you to," I looked away. "Chloe likes you now and if you leave, she'd feel bad. So yeah."
"I already know how Chloe would feel. I just want to know how her big strong daddy would feel if I was no longer here to disturb or tease him," she said. "So, how would you feel? If you answer in a way that I like, then I might just reward you."
A tempting offer to get me to talk.
"I don't want you to go," I admitted. "Your presence around the house is refreshing. I need you to stay."
"Wow, I wish you could've said that in the office," she said. "But it's an answer that pleases me, so I'll reward you."
"Am I supposed to say thank you?" I raised a brow.
"Yes," she replied and stretched, "It's already three pm, so I'm clocking out. I'll pick up Chloe from school."
"Thank you," I said.
"You're welcome," she smiled.
I watched her leave; maybe it was just me, but I could swear I noticed her swaying her hips a lot more than usual.
"Hello Ethan?" I called. "Yeah, she'll be staying with me now."
"Whatever it is you're doing be careful," he warned.
"The great Ethan Sullivan telling me to be careful," I chuckled. "I might be in trouble."
Olivia's POV
"I don't want you to go," he said, "Your presence around the house is refreshing. I need you to stay."
To think he would use want and need for me in one go.
"Did something good happen?" Martha asked.
We were in the changing rooms. For nurses that didn't have their own offices, they had to change into their scrubs here.
"Oh, nothing really," I replied. "Just thinking of going home and soaking my feet. Walking around the room more naked than usual."
"That sounds awesome… wish I could do that," she said.
"Why don't you?"
"And have my husband pounce on me? Nah, I'm good," she replied.
Would Ben do the same if I wore something a little more… revealing?
Some ideas had started to form, and I only prayed I could put Olivia to sleep early enough and he didn't spend the night in the office. Well, for the past four days, he hasn't broken his promise to his daughter and had been returning home earlier than he did before. I hoped it would be the same that night. Or else there would be no reward for him anymore.
"You really seem happy about this thing you're going to do at home," Martha said.
"I'm trying my best to contain my excitement," I sighed, "but this is the type that can't be contained."
