She blushes, her voice cracking a little. “Yeah, I saw it when I looked you up on the internet.”

“And when did you do that, Daphne?” I’m not sure if it’s the liquor already but my voice grows deeper.

“After I found out who you were when we met at school.”

“Yeah, about that.” I toss back the rest of the scotch. “I think I owe you more than one apology for my past behavior.”

“Really?” She crooks an eyebrow at me. “And what has brought on this change of heart, Mr. Vaughn?” She’s being flirty and between that and the alcohol, it’s lowering my inhibitions.

I chuckle, leaning forward in my seat as I reach my fingertips out to rest against her knee. “Probably the night you fell into my lap and made me realize my frustration with you wasn’t because I didn’t like you.”

“No?” I watch her throat constrict. “What was it from?”

I stare at her, thinking long and hard about how I want to answer… how Ishouldanswer. “Tell you what, in the spirit of being on my best behavior, Miss Flowers, I’ll keep that answer to myself.” She looks disappointed. “We’ll be preparing for landing soon. I should wake Daisy up and get her buckled in properly.”

We make it to the yacht just in time for lunch. My chef has prepared a buffet of options. “Your father and I will take Daisy ashore to the kids pool at The Four Seasons after lunch. We just found out the Tallmans are there with their grandchildren.”

“You’re welcome to stay aboard or go ashore,” I say to Daphne as my mother takes Daisy to go change into her bathing suit.

“Oh okay, what are you doing to do?”

“I’ll go talk with the captain, see how things are going and then probably do a little work. It’s great swimming around here. There’s snorkel gear somewhere aboard.”

She stands and walks over to the ledge, peering over. “That’s a long way down. Do you jump or is there a ladder?”

“You can certainly jump if you’re feeling adventurous but there’s a water level exit and entry on the side and off the back. Come on, I’ll give you a tour.”

I walk her around the boat, showing her where she will be staying and that her luggage was delivered to the stateroom. “My room and Daisy’s room are at the other end of the boat; I believe my parents’ room is as well.”

“Thanks.” She fidgets with her hands nervously. “Think I’ll take your recommendation and go for a swim.” She stares at me like she wants me to say I’ll join her or maybe she wants me to step into her room. I’m tempted, so tempted to push her onto the bed and keep her preoccupied for the next several hours. I step closer to her, reaching out to grab the back of her neck and pull her toward me till our lips meet. It’s quick and heated.

“I’ve thought of nothing but tasting your lips again,” I murmur against them before sliding my tongue between them. “I promised myself I would behave with you on this trip but I’m not sure I can do that.” I kiss her again, deeper, harder till she’s moaning, then I step back, leaving her panting, her hands against the wall behind her.

“Why?”

I contemplate lying, telling her some noble bullshit about not wanting to abuse my position of authority over her but I don’t. I want her to know exactly the kinds of things I want to do to her.

“Why behave? Because stuffing every hole in your body with my cock and tongue for three days straight really isn’t an option with others on board. Why won’t I be able to keep my promise? Because all I can think about is stuffing every hole in your body with my cock and tongue for three days.” I reach my hand out to touch her chin gently. “I’m heading upstairs for a bit. Find me if you need anything.”

I leave her in her room and head upstairs to talk to the captain. After we talk, I take a stroll around the decks, stopping to enjoy the scenery of the crystal water. The sun dances across the surface of the ocean like diamonds. The only time I actually spend any time on this yacht is once a year with Daisy and my parents, most of which I usually spend on board working. This time, I promise myself it will be different. Seeing Daphne interact with Daisy makes me realize the time I’ve already wasted with my little girl. It also makes me realize the void in Daisy’s life, not having a mother and being an only child. I push away from the railing I’m leaning on, walking back toward the front of the boat.

I pause, looking down to see Daphne on her back, in a swimsuit. Her arms are stretched overhead, one leg bent, the other straight. Only a string and some scraps of material keep her covered.

Fuck me, she looks good.

I allow myself to take in her tempting body on display, the sun glistening against her skin. I want to pull her bikini bottoms to the side and bury my face between her thighs. My mouth waters, and my cock twitches in my pants, begging for attention. I can’t be certain because of her sunglasses, but she looks like she’s staring right at me. She stretches, rolling to her stomach before coming to all fours, giving me a perfect view of her from behind. She arches her back slightly, pushing her ass up even further, the scrap of material covering her pussy visible to me. She adjusts her towel, falling forward to lie on her stomach but not before she undoes the back of her bikini top.

Fucking little tease.

She knows exactly what she’s doing to me. It takes every scrap of restraint in me not to walk down there, lift her hips up, and bury my cock inside her. Against my better judgment, I make my way down to where she’s sunbathing.

Why deny myself? She clearly doesn’t want me to, and I clearly have no intention of actually behaving on this trip.

“Enjoying the sunshine, Miss Flowers?”

“I am. Enjoying the view, Mr. Vaughn?”

I laugh, looking around to make sure we’re alone. “Was that your intention? To tease me?”
