“Come on Jackson, I’m horny.”

“I’m busy.”

I hear the sound of my door creaking, and I look over Kayla’s shoulder just to see Serenity rushing off.

Fuck.

Shit.

I realize the position Kayla is in, her bare ass facing the door for the world to see. I lift Kayla and toss her off, before shoving myself out of the chair.

“For the minute, I’m taken. You know the rules when it comes to potential Old Ladies.”

She looks hurt, but I don’t have time to care. I walk towards the door and shove it open, stepping out. I look left and right, but I can’t see Serenity. Growling, I walk to the bar and I find Addison wiping glasses.

“Where’s Serenity?”

She shrugs. “I have no idea, she was coming to give you a drink.”

“Yeah, well, she might have seen Kayla in my office.”

Her mouth drops open.

Here goes.

“Dad! Oh my god! Why would you do that to her?”

I sigh, running my fingers through my hair. “I didn’t do anything, I was telling her to go, but...look...it just looked bad. Where is she?”

“I don’t know, she has no car so she couldn’t have gone far. Try the storage closet. I did tell her to grab some alcohol on the way back from giving you that drink.”

I nod, and walk down the hall and to the left until I reach the large room, that’s far bigger than a closet. I open the door, and sure enough, Serenity is sitting on an old, wooden stool, just staring at the floor. Fuck. My heart aches as I walk over, kneeling in front of her. She doesn’t put her eyes on me.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt,” she whispers, her voice hoarse.

“It was nothin’, darlin’.”

She finally lifts her eyes, and shit, they’re all red and glassy. My heart thumps harder. “You don’t have to explain yourself to me,” she whispers. “What you do is your business.”

“Maybe so, but this time I am makin’ it yours. It was nothin’. I was tellin’ her to go and she was all over me, I was trying to get her off my lap when you walked in.”

“I don’t expect anything from you, Jackson. I didn’t expect that it would be anything more than sex between us.”

I flinch, and my jaw tightens. “It’s fuckin’ far more than sex to me, pixie.”

She opens her mouth, and then closes it, dragging her lip between her teeth. I take the moment to lean forward, cupping her face in my hands. Fuck, I care about her. In such a short time, she’s managed to creep into my heart and each day she’s here, she’s gettin’ in further.

“If I didn’t have so much to do, I’d spread your beautiful thighs and lick you until you’re screaming...” I rasp, running my thumb over her bottom lip.

“Why don’t you?”

I hiss, and lean forward, pressing my lips to hers. She whimpers, opening her lips and letting me in. Her tongue is sweet, and she tastes sweet like she’s been eating chocolate. My dick twitches, and I deepen the kiss until she’s panting and clinging to me. Fuck, if I didn’t have to go to church, I’d have her over this fuckin’ stool in a second.

“I’d love to continue this,” I growl. “But I gotta go to church.”

She nods, her eyes alive with lust. “Later then?”

“You fuckin’ know it. I’ll come home after seven, you be there...”

She nods again. I stand and turn, using every ounce of strength in my body to walk away from her. When I get to the door, I turn and meet her eyes, “Oh, and baby, don’t wear any panties.”

I leave the room to her wide eyes and pink cheeks.

Fuck.

Yeah.

SERENITY

Addison invites me out to the bar after work, and I know I am meant to meet Jackson. I don’t want to disappoint Addi, so I decide I’ll go for a few drinks. Jackson doesn’t finish until late anyway. I stack the last of the glasses on the counter, and then head down to his office to let him know. I get to the door, and knock gently. He’s been in there all afternoon, busy no doubt. He yells out yeah, so I carefully open the door. When he sees me, a smile forms on his face. I can’t help smiling back; he just gets that kind of reaction out of me.

“Hey, I just wanted to come and let you know I’m going for a drink with Addi, but I’ll be home later.”

He lifts a hand, and crooks a finger at me, encouraging me over. I go, walking slowly and stopping at his desk. He spins his chair around, and pulls me down onto his lap. My back presses into his chest, and he nuzzles the side of my neck, breathing deeply and wrapping his arms around me. He’s warm, and he smells amazing. I close my eyes, and drop my head back onto his shoulder.

“You gonna behave at that bar?” he murmurs into my neck.

“You know I will,” I whisper. “It’s just a drink with your daughter.”

“My daughter can be a rebel.”

I chuckle. “Yeah, I know.”

“You know,” he murmurs, running his hand down my belly and then down over my skirt, “This is mine?”

“I know,” I whimper lightly.

“And the only fingers that go inside this sweet pussy,” he rasps, sliding his fingers under my skirt and slipping them inside my panties, “Are mine?”

“Yes,” I moan.

He slips a finger between my folds, to find my clit. I whimper and press myself further back against him. He slides his fingers up and down, gently teasing, before he inserts two fingers inside me. I groan and spread my legs wider as he begins pulling his fingers gently in and out of my wet, aching pussy.
