CRYRUS

“What am I doing?” I replied, instantly defensive. “It’s my house. I should be asking you that.”

She scowled. How could a woman be so freaking gorgeous when she was angry? It was ridiculous.

“I couldn’t sleep,” she said with a hiss. “I was going to the kitchen for a glass of water, if you must know.”

Her snappy tone only poked at the fire already burning in my belly. Anger and arousal swirled within me, and I worried that she’d be able to see my reaction to her.

“I’m still getting used to having you here,” I shrugged dismissively. “It’s perfectly reasonable for me to be suspicious of what you’re doing roaming my house in the middle of the night.”

She rolled her eyes, and my hand twitched as I imagined putting her over my knee.

“Whatever,” she murmured, turning toward the staircase and flipping her long, red hair over her shoulder. “I don’t have to stand here and listen to your ridiculous insults. You’d think you’d be a little nicer to me at this point, but I guess you’re just a

    SADIE By the third week, I was feeling comfortable with my job as it pertained to Megan, but things between Mr. Grave and me only seemed to be getting worse. He continued to avoid me as much as possible, even going so far as to walk out of the room when I entered it. It was infuriating and insulting, but what was worse was how disappointed I found myself to be whenever it happened.For some ridiculous reason, I didn’t want him to ignore me. I’m not sure exactly when that idea changed for me, but I suspected it was that night we’d run into each other in the hallway. He’d looked sexy and disheveled with the sleeves of his dress shirt rolled up to reveal his muscular forearms and the top buttons of his shirt undone. His hair had been mussed and wild, completely different from how sleek and perfect it always appeared.The way he’d looked at me, though, was what had really shaken me to my core. His eyes had practically devoured me, and I’d been all too aware of the fact that I’d been wear

    Megan looked up at me as I reached her, and I was startled to see that blank expression on her face once again.“Megan?” I said in a gentle voice. “Who was that man? What did he want?”She stared at me for a few moments, and I could discern nothing from her gaze. She didn’t appear to be physically hurt in anyway, but that didn’t mean the creep hadn’t said something awful to her.“Megan?” I softly urged.Blinking, she finally answered, “That was my daddy. He wanted to talk to me.”It felt like my heart stopped. For a moment, I was completely frozen before panic set in and began pumping adrenaline through my veins.Grabbing Megan’s hand, I said, “Come on, honey. We’ve got to get you home.”I tried not to make my panic obvious to her, but I don’t think I did a great job of hiding it. We hurried to the car and climbed into the backseat, and I told Bill to get us home as quickly as he could. Only once the car was in motion did I manage to relax somewhat, but I was still startled by the sud

    SADIEI managed to keep my anxiety in check for Megan’s sake, but my stomach was gurgling and my mind was racing with all sorts of terrible ideas of why her dad had suddenly reappeared. I wanted to talk to Mr. Grave so badly, but he didn’t come home in time for dinner. In fact, it wasn’t until much later in the evening, after I had put Megan to bed, that I heard the front door open, indicating his return.I’d been waiting impatiently in the living room, trying to watch TV to distract me. The moment I heard him come into the house, I jumped to my feet and hurried out to the foyer to greet him.“Mr. Grave,” I said the moment I saw him. “I need to talk to you.”He looked momentarily surprised to see me and then let out a huff of breath, as though annoyed.“It’s been a long day, Miss Bruns,” he grumbled. “I’m sure whatever complaints you have for me can wait until morning.”I ignored his small insult and came to a stop in front of him.“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” I insisted. “Someth

    CYRUS My fury threatened to overwhelm me. The urge to go out and hunt Ralph down myself was so strong, I’d locked myself in my office to keep myself from getting into trouble. I had to remind myself what was at risk if I tried to handle him personally. My custody of Megan wasn’t permanent yet, and if I did anything to put myself at odds with the law, she’d most likely be taken from me.Still, I couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to smash my fist in Ralph’s face over and over again. It was an immensely satisfying fantasy, and one I’d had ever since I’d discovered all that he had been doing to Kate.I had to immediately shut down that train of thought. I was angry enough as it was. I didn’t need to remember all the abuse he’d put my sister through. Very likely, I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back from hunting him down if I let those memories run free.I sat at my desk, drumming my fingers impatiently on the surface as I waited for my head of security to arrive. I didn’t

    CYRUS “I want you to put a tail on Miss Bruns, our nanny,” I answered. “I want to make sure she’s safe and guarded as well.”Caleb appeared surprised by that. Tilting his head, he studied me for several long moments. There was a gleam in his eye that I didn’t like.“What?” I growled. “Why are you looking at me like that?”“This new nanny…is she cute?”I glared at him. “Not funny.”“Not trying to be funny.” He smirked, his eyes dancing with mirth at my obvious annoyance. “Just curious. You seem rather protective of her.”“Of course I am,” I said. “She’s taking care of my niece. I don’t want anything to happen to either of them.”“Makes sense.” Caleb shrugged, that stupid grin still on his face. “But you seem to be a bit worked up about her. Tell me about her, buddy. Come on. Don’t hold back.”“There’s nothing to tell,” I replied sharply. “She’s my nanny. That’s it. That’s all. She takes care of Megan and is good at her job. I don’t want her to regret working here.”I tried to make mys

    SADIE We made it to the weekend, but I was still shaken up by the incident with Megan’s dad. She seemed all right, but I kept a close eye on her to make sure she wasn’t struggling with any anxiety or fear like I was. There were moments when I would catch her staring off into space, apparently lost in thought. I’d ask her what she was thinking about, and she’d give me an odd look and insist that she wasn’t thinking of anything. I didn’t believe her, but I didn’t push the issue either. I didn’t want her to feel pressure to process things she wasn’t equipped to process.Still, I wanted to help her. I wanted to reassure her that everything was going to be okay…though I didn’t know how I could do that. I was just her nanny, after all. I wasn’t her mother or aunt. What could I say to her that would possibly make her feel better? What could I say to assure her that her father wouldn’t harm her? I couldn’t even be certain that was true, and I didn’t want to lie to her.I hated to admit it,

    “What’s that?” I asked, trying to contain my glee and surprise.“I’m going with you,” he stated. “I don’t want you two going anywhere without me right now, even if you have the bodyguards.”I hadn’t expected that. It was a reasonable enough request, and honestly, I was okay with it. After what had happened with Megan’s father, a little bit of backup didn’t sound like such a bad idea. Still, I didn’t want him to know that having him with us would be a relief. There was still that little tension between us, and I didn’t want him thinking that I was incapable of caring for Megan myself. It was a little contradictory, I know, but my pride was on the line. That wasn’t something I was willing to just sacrifice, so I had to put up a little bit of a front.“Are you sure?” I questioned. “That’s probably not necessary. You probably have a lot of work to do, right?”He shrugged. “It’s all right. It can wait.”“You really want to spend the day chasing a seven-year-old girl through a crowded zoo?”

    CYRUS In all honesty, spending the day at the zoo sounded like torture. Not because I didn’t want to spend time with Megan, but because I was so stressed about Ralph showing up, I didn’t think I’d actually be able to relax and enjoy myself. Miss Bruns didn’t seem to have the same concern, though. She was all smiles as we loaded up into the car to leave. Maybe it was for Megan’s benefit, as she appeared super excited to be going as well. I put on a smile and tried to act happy in front of my niece, but my mind just kept imagining all these terrible scenarios of things Ralph could do if he caught us out in public. I knew my thoughts weren’t rational given that we would be surrounded by people, but I honestly didn’t know to what lengths Ralph would go to get to Megan.“Hey, you need to relax,” Miss Bruns suddenly whispered to me. She sat next to me in the car. Megan was in the seat behind us, distracted by a book about monkeys that Miss Bruns had brought along.“What do you mean?” I h

    Xavier I take a seat on the couch and Hazel obediently bends over my knee the way she’s been taught to do. Although she’s getting what she wants, I’ve turned it around on her, and now she’s nervous. Asserting my dominance, something I hope we’ll incorporate into our relationship more and more, has made this interaction even more enjoyable for me. My cock is getting hard as she stretches out over my thighs.I run a hand up the back of her legs, taking a minute to enjoy the sight of her laid out like this. The uniform is so perfect, so innocent… I love the feel of the rough wool of the skirt, and her childish little knee-high socks. I’ve always wanted to fuck her in her school uniform, and the anticipation of it is making my dick throb.I run a hand up to her ass, over her panties, enjoying the feel of her under my hand. I slide a hand under the fabric and squeeze her ass, and that’s when I notice her panties are very wet. They’re practically soaked through.“Dirty girl,” I growl. “Wha

    I turn to see Xavier’s Jaguar rolling up to the curb behind me.It’s one thing to make fun of me, but it’s another thing altogether to see the three of them laughing at Xavier, delighting in their characterization of him as some kind of pervert. A protective reflex snaps in me. I don’t need these kids in my life. And after today, I’ll never see them again.Besides, I think, catching a glimpse of Xavier through the window, what the fuck are they even laughing at? Xavier is gorgeous by anyone’s standard, one powerful hand on the steering wheel, the light highlighting his strong jaw covered in a rough scrape of beard—a few days’ growth I find very sexy. He’s driving a goddamn Jaguar, and what do these boys have going for them? Kye has the Jeep that was given to him by his parents, and Christine has already told me that Eric has trouble getting off because he watches too much porn.These assholes don’t have the right to say anything to me.“Hey, it’s Daddy!” laughs Kye. “You gonna let him

    Imagine how she would react if I told her the truth, I thought.But what’s done is done, and once I’d told her that version of the story I had to stick to it, constantly adding new details that I thought might make it more palatable for her. ‘He acts younger than he is,’ I told her. ‘His wife got custody of the kids, so he doesn’t have them anymore.’ Every lie I added to make it sound better only seemed to make it sound worse. At some point, I started thinking the truth would look better in comparison.When the teacher’s phone alarm rings, she orders us to put down our pens and collects our papers, and then Christine and I head to our lockers together to clean them out. It’s our very last day at school. Our last day in this building, our last day as high schoolers. And, I can’t help but wonder, maybe our last day as friends. Ever since I started telling Christine about my older boyfriend, ‘Jack,’ it’s only seemed to make her angrier and more judgmental, like I’ve disappointed her some

    “You’re going to Cathy’s house?”“No, actually. I’m going back to New Mexico. Jack called and we talked it all out.”I still have no idea why she left New Mexico, can barely retain the name Jack. There have been so many men on the sidelines of my life with Melanie that after a while they all started blending into meaningless noise. Jack or no Jack, it doesn’t matter. It all comes down to Melanie. Melanie leaving. Melanie creating drama. Melanie being all about Melanie.“Uh, okay. Great.”“Unlike some people, Jack is capable of learning and growing, and now he understands that without my art, I’m nothing, Xavi I’m nothing.”“Melanie,” I interrupt her. “What about Hazel? Are you going to call her?”She gives a heavy sigh. “I wasn’t a bad mother, you know.”“I didn’t say you were.” I didn’t say it, no, but I’ve come to realize I’ve been thinking it ever since I first met Melanie and Hazel—at least on some level. Ever since Hazel’s hand was only big enough to wrap around one of my fingers

    “Jesus Christ, Hazel,” he groans. “Fuck. I’m looking forward to fucking your ass. I’m going to fuck you so deep and so hard in your tight little ass.” He presses his finger into my hole, making little circles around the rim as everything inside of me draws tight and suddenly I’m screaming, crying out as I turn inside out and Xavier moans loudly, rolling his head back against the wall as he comes.As his spasms subside, he lowers his head back down and smiles at me, and kisses me softly. Our eyes flicker as they dance back and forth, looking deeply into each other’s. For the first time that I can remember, he doesn’t feel like my stepfather, and I realize that we’re becoming peers. Two humans that hold the key to the other person’s ecstasy. He’s my lover.With a swing of his arm, he lowers me onto my side—foreheads still touching, legs still interlocked, his cock softening but still inside of me. I’m dizzy with happiness, inhaling his breath and his skin. It’s the closeness I crave and

    He pulls me down hard against him, his erection pressing against my sore pussy, and I wriggle against him, the soreness almost pleasant, arousal blurring and transforming the pain.“I want to give you something special,” I say timidly. “I wish I could have given you a better Father’s Day gift.”“Oh, sweetie.” He smiles. “I love your gift.”“But I mean, I want to give you something else. If you want to.” Suddenly I’m heating up with embarrassment. Surely this isn’t that hard to say. “Anal sex.” I blurt it out. “I thought maybe…would you like that?”“Sweetheart,” he says gently, then his whole face transforms as a smile pulls at the corner of his eyes. He laughs—a delicious, low rumbling sound. “Wait. Are you saying you want to give me anal sex for Father’s Day?”I can’t help but laugh either, an almost hysterical and involuntary reflex. When he puts it that way…it highlights the absurdity of this whole thing.“I guess so,” I giggle. “I didn’t really mean it that way, but I guess so.”“

    HazelI Lie Awake in bed for a long while, wondering if Xavier will sneak in at some point. I’m alternately hopeful and despairing. Last night, it felt like nothing could ever come between us, but tonight, watching my mother flirt so overtly with him at dinner, I’m not so certain. It made me hotly jealous to find out they had sex on their second date. More than that, it was the fond smile the memory evoked in Xavier. What if my mother has somehow weaved her web around him again?I text Christine to chat but she seems standoffish and aloof.Are you just trying to chat or is something up? she eventually asks.Just chatting, I answer. Wanted to see how you are.I’m fine, she answers. Now you know. Why aren’t you chatting with your secret older boyfriend?I sigh and don’t answer. I don’t know how to. After staring at my phone blankly for a while, I put it down and stare at the ceiling instead.So Xavier and Melanie had sex on their second date. It’s painful to think of them being together

    Every Daddy is a reference, a hidden threat to her mother. She’s feeling brave enough to flirt with danger, but I act like it’s perfectly natural. Like she’s always called me Daddy.The card is simple: ‘You’re the very best father I ever could have imagined. Thank you so much for everything you do for me.’ The book is a small coffee table book about architecture in Switzerland, not the most inspired gift, but I’m touched by the sentiment. “Thank you so much, sweetie,” I say, giving her shoulder an affectionate squeeze.“My turn,” grins Melanie, lifting a gift bag up from her feet and sliding it over to me. It appears to contain a bottle of wine. Better be a five-hundred dollar bottle of wine, I think to myself.But when I open it up, it’s not. It’s a seven dollar wine at best, but one that surprises me with the warm memories it brings up. I laugh with genuine mirth as I pull it out of the bag.“Almaden!” I exclaim, chuckling. “Oh my God. How did you ever find this?”Melanie laughs too

    Mon dieu. “I thought you said you were sore.”She nods. “I don’t care. If I have to sit through dinner with Melanie pretending that everything is perfectly normal between us, I at least want the pain to remind me that you secretly fucked me in the bathroom.”It’s hopeless. My dick is hard already, throbbing in my pants. How has Hazel become such a filthy little girl so quickly? I’m equally shocked and turned on at the forbidden scenario she’s imagining. The one thing I can’t bring myself to tell her is that her mother has already guessed it—and doesn’t care. That, more than anything, is something I never want Hazel to know.“Turn around and put your hands on the counter,” I say in a low voice, turning off the water and unzipping my pants. I stand behind her, lining my cock up with her entrance and lean forward to murmur in her ear. “You’re a dirty little girl, aren’t you? You want me to fuck you while Mommy’s downstairs?”“Yes, Daddy,” she whispers. I squeeze a hand around her hip as
