and assaults me in an erotic dance as it twists and cradles mine with its velvety touch. His kiss sears me from head to toe, heating my blood and my skin to the boiling point. With a few steps backward, my back presses against the wall and I melt into him as his fingers knead my skin. Then his hands slide down below my behind and he hauls me up with his sheer strength. My hands move down his body until my fingers land on his belt buckle. When his erection springs free, he growls with need and buries himself deep inside me with one swift thrust. With our frenzied pace, neither of us lasts long, but the need to reestablish our connection has been satisfied.

He reluctantly releases me on shaky legs, then he follows me into the bathroom. In the shower, he takes the soap and washes me, taking special care with my stomach. As the water rinses the suds away, he kneels in front of me and places tender kisses just below my navel. His voice is low and raspy with emotion, but I make out part of what he’s saying, and it brings me to tears.

“I promise to love you with my whole heart, every single day of your life. One lesson I’ve learned all too well is any day could be our last. You’ll never know how it feels to be unwanted, unloved, or unworthy. Your daddy can’t wait to hold you.”

Happy tears. I’ve never cried so many hot, happy tears before this moment.

When he stands, he leaves his hand over our baby. “Last night was bad, but it was good for me in a lot of ways. I had to shake off all the old wounds I’ve held on to so I can move forward with our future. When you get home, I want to talk to you about an idea I had. It's not as good as the offer I made you to be my personal sex slave, but it’s close. I’d ask you to call in sick today if I thought there was a chance in hell you’d actually do it, but I know better. Instead, I’ll put the proposal together and present it to you this evening.”

“Almost as good as the sex slave offer? This I can’t wait to hear.”

CHAPTER TWENTY

Rod

When I first met Daisy, all I could think was wrong time, wrong place, wrong man. Now I can’t stop thinking about right time, right place, the only man. As long as I can prove I finally have my act together and my head screwed on straight, we should be able to weather any storm life throws our way. My first act as a new man is to further a cause near and dear to her heart.

Her summer camp initiative has helped a lot of kids, and she has every right to be proud of her accomplishments. If she approves of my plan, her budget problems will be a thing of the past. While she’s been at work over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been toying around with this idea. After my realization last night, I’m sure this is the right path.

I’m eyeball deep in my presentation when the phone rings and I absently answer it.

“Yeah?”

“Hey, man. Listen, I’ve been instructed to give you this message. Remember, this isn’t my fault. You are a selfish, arrogant asshole, and when my girlfriend gets a hold of you, you’ll get a tongue lashing unlike any verbal assault you’ve received before. What the hell have you done?”

I give Kevin the Reader’s Digest condensed version of my severe fuck-up last night.

“I’m glad you came to your senses. I had to talk Tracy out of posting a bounty for your head on the dark web forums. I’ll tell her she can stand down now.” Kevin chuckles, but I have no doubt he got an earful from Tracy about our friendship.

“You know, I choose to look on the bright side and be grateful my girl has such a protective friend watching her back. Daisy and I had a long talk before she left for work today, and we are good now. That brings me to a proposition for you, Mr. CEO.” Over the next half hour, I explain my proposal to Kevin and ensure I have his buy-in for my idea before Daisy gets home.

“Wow. You’ve really surprised me, Rod. Never in a million years would I have thought you’d be so head over heels for someone. I like your idea a lot. Let me know what Daisy says when you share this plan with her. If it has her blessing, we’ll move forward as soon as she’s ready. You know you have my full support.”

We hang up with a promise to get together soon so we can formally celebrate our good news. After Tracy has had the requisite amount of time to calm down and not try to castrate me on sight, of course. My only wish is Juliana could be with us.

My visit to see her in the hospital was a little more contentious than I conveyed to Daisy. While my sister and I have a great relationship, she doesn’t hesitate to put me in my place when I need it. I’ve put enough stress on both Daisy and Juliana, and I didn’t want to add more.

When I walked into Juliana’s room, she knew right away something was terribly wrong.

“What the hell have you done, Rod?” She pierced me with her keen eyes. She was weak, but her resolve was still incredibly strong.

“I sort of lost my shit when Daisy confessed about the baby and about being a tissue match for you. The walls started closing in on me, so I left to take a drive and clear my head alone. I realized I was more upset with her for keeping all this from me when she pushed so hard for full transparency and honesty between us. I’ve done my best to
