Lily

They finished loading everything up and then started their journey back to the mansion. Wyatt started up a movie for Maggie, which she watched on the small television screen that was installed in the back of the passenger’s seat headrest. This gave Lily and Wyatt a bit of privacy, which they used to talk about things that they normally couldn’t with Maggie around.

“So how was your first day on the job?” he asked, pushing his sunglasses to the top of his head and taking a quick glance toward Lily.

“It was actually really nice,” she said. “It was ten times more relaxing than slinging coffee for the grumpy soccer moms.”

Wyatt laughed. “I figured you'd enjoy this a little more than that. I'm glad you've been able to take a break from your usual gig. It's nice that you're going to get to spent some more one-on-one time with Maggie, at least for the next week.”

“Speaking of Maggie, I seriously can't believe how fast she's growing up,” Lily said. “I mean, I always have known that kids g

    Wyatt Wyatt searched his bedroom, looking for his favorite slippers. . He could hear Lily and Maggie downstairs, talking and laughing as they made dinner together. It was music to his ears. Today was a good day, he thought. Somehow, I actually had fun going to the grocery store. I never thought that would happen. Not in a million years. His phone buzzed in his pocket and he pulled it out to see an incoming call from his best friend, who also happened to be one of his partners in his business. He sighed as he gazed at the number. It was Saturday evening and not exactly a time when he felt like handling anything work-related. Despite that, though, he picked up the call. He wasn't the type to slack off when it came to his business. “Hey, Derek,” he said, lifting the phone to his ear. “What's going on?” “Wyatt, how are you?” Derek sounded excited, which usually meant he had either been drinking or had gotten laid. Sometimes it was both. “I'm doing alright,” Wyatt replied, taking a s

    Wyatt “Alright, back to cooking,” he said, approaching the two of them. “I'll whip up these eggs and we'll get cooking.” Lily smiled. “I'm not sure how you feel about watching TV during dinner, but we could always turn on the Raccoon game.” Wyatt raised an eyebrow. “You know what, I think that's a great idea. I'd love to see what those boys can do tonight. They're up against a pretty hard team.” “I wouldn't mind watching it anyway,” Lily said. “My coworker is always trying to get me to take an interest in watching basketball, so he'd be tickled pink if I actually knew the score of one of the games the next time I spoke with him.” “Alright then,” Wyatt said. “It's settled. We're eating dinner in the living room tonight.” He then went to work, whipping up some eggs into a bowl. When he was done, he stepped up to where Lily had been cutting vegetables. He reached toward the cutting board where she'd already made slices of eggplant. The timing was impeccable, because as he brought h

    Lily God, I hope he likes it, Lily thought, as she carried two full plates of eggplant Parmesan out to the living room. She was surprised by just how nervous she was about it. She really wanted to make a good impression. Which was stupid. She already had the job. He'd already picked her twice to be a part of his family. Still, she wanted to please him more than she cared to admit. Wyatt followed close behind. He carried a little plate for Maggie. In addition to the eggplant,they'd given her some tater tots and green beans. Wyatt wasn't sure if she was going to like the eggplant. She'd never tried it before. This would be her first time and eggplant is one of those things that you either love or you hate. Lily tried to settle her nerves as they sat down on the couch to eat. She hadn't cooked a real meal in quite some time. Usually, her dinners by herself consisted of a bowl of cereal or microwave food. Sometimes she'd go all out and make spaghetti and meatballs but never went as fa

    Lily Monday morning came around and Lily hopped out of bed early to get started on the day. Everybody was still asleep when she woke up, so she headed downstairs to make some coffee. This time, she made sure she was appropriately dressed. The last thing she wanted was a repeat of Friday night. Besides the eggplant Parmesan being a complete disaster on Saturday, the weekend had been very relaxing. She'd spent Saturday evening watching the basketball game with Wyatt and Lily. On Sunday, she took Maggie out while Wyatt worked out in the home gym in his basement and then did conference calls from his office. She and Maggie walked around the park, picking flowers and giving them to each other with giggles. The weather had been perfect. Not too hot and not too cold. So they stayed outside for most of the day and given Wyatt the house to himself for a bit. Now the real work week begins, she thought, turning on the coffee machine. Monday morning is here, which means Wyatt will be gone dur

    Lily Wyatt’s bedroom door was open, so she poked her head inside. “Hey, Wyatt, I've got a question for you,” she said, glancing around the room. It was her first time looking in there and she was amazed at how large it was. Even the king-size bed seemed small in contrast to the rest of the room. Fancy velvet curtains hung over the windows. They were light blue and matched a few pieces of accent furniture in the room, including a small couch in the corner and a lamp near the bed. It was a contribution that was most definitely Caroline's. Lily was certain of that. She knew Wyatt had good taste, but doubted he would have been able to design a room quite this perfectly. “Wyatt?” Lily called out again. “You in here?” There wasn't a response, so she took a step further into the room. Her toes dug into the lush carpet as she walked. “Hello?” she said. Lily paused when she was about halfway in the room. He did say he was coming up here to get ready for work, right? She wondered. Oh we

    Lily “How were the eggs?” Lily asked, stepping back into the kitchen. Maggie spun around on her stool. She had a smile on her face and orange juice on her upper lip. “Good!” she said. “You haven't eaten yours.” “Yeah, I know,” Lily said, ruffling up Maggie's hair. “I'm about to. I couldn't find your dad to ask him about your dance class, but we'll see him before he leaves for work. Why don't you go downstairs and play with your toys for a bit? I'll come and get you when it's time to leave.” “Okay,” Maggie said, hopping off of the chair. “I'll build you something really neat with my Lego set.” “I'd love that,” Lily replied. “Thank you, Maggie.” Maggie disappeared around the corner and Lily took a seat. She ate her eggs and began sipping on her coffee, which had grown cold from sitting on the counter while she had been busy doing her spying. All she could think about what she had just seen. The image of Wyatt in the shower was at the forefront of her mind. All she wanted in tha

    Wyatt The traffic didn't move. The highway was a parking lot and horns blasted and swear words floated overhead. Usually, this would have made Wyatt frustrated. He didn't have much patience for the congestion on the highway. He was the guy who would raise his hands up and honk his horn, just to try to gain another car length toward his destination. For whatever reason, though, this morning was different. Even though he was on his way to an important meeting, and there was a chance he'd be late, he wasn't even worried. His belly was full of the coffee that Lily had made, his daughter was taken care of, and there would be dinner on the table when he got home. His world was safe. There wasn't a whole lot else that he wanted right now. It was perfect really. It was easy. Lily made everything so simple and even though it was only Monday, he was already feeling like her time with them was going by too quickly. I wonder if I should hire her after this week is up, just for the extra help

    Lily Lily set the phone down, laughing quietly at Wyatt's response. Chicken with mac and cheese, huh? She thought, as she dug through the pantry to find a few things. And here I thought that all billionaires ever wanted to eat was the finest, most expensive foods in the world. Somehow, I didn't think mac and cheese would ever fall into that category. “Aunt Wiwee, can you help me get my dance clothes off?” Maggie stumbled into the kitchen. Her leotard was pulled halfway off and she was tangled up in it, making it nearly impossible for her to walk. Lily laughed as soon as she saw her. “Why are you so cute?” Lily asked, walking toward Maggie to assist her. “I guess I just am,” Maggie said, innocently shrugging her shoulders. Lily untangled her arms and helped her upstairs to her bedroom. “Let's get you changed. We have a few hours before your dad gets home. I told him we would make him dinner.” “Can we play outside?” Maggie asked. “Of course we can,” Lily said. “I'll get everythi

    Wyatt Sunlight poured in through the window. Birds were chirping. Wyatt swore he had never slept so good. He knew why, of course. The angel sleeping beside him was snoring softly, still worn out from the night. He had stayed awake until he was sure she was asleep, making sure she was going to spend the night. But when she snuggled even closer into him as she dreamed, he had allowed himself to fall asleep. It was the best sleep he'd had in over a year. Now he looked at her, peacefully sleeping the last few minutes of the dawn away. They were both still naked, and her legs were entwined with his. He knew he wanted to wake up like this every day for the rest of his life. She stirred a little, then opened one eye. A smile crept across her face. “Hey,” was all she said. “Hey,” Wyatt responded. They looked at each other for another moment before Lily closed her eyes and pulled the blanket back over her head, clearly trying to get a few more minutes of sleep. He was about to leave he

    Lily “Please, fuck me,” Lily repeated. Wyatt pulled his face away from her chest and kissed between her breasts. He dragged his tongue downward past her bellybutton, all the way to the top of her pantie line. Then he gazed up at her. Their eyes locked. Could anything be hotter than this right now? She asked herself, as she gazed down at Wyatt's beautiful face looking up at her from between her thighs. No, I don't think so. This is as hot as it gets. Wyatt brought his attention back to her body. He kissed her bare flesh, just above her panties. Then he brought his hands up and slipped his fingers into the waist strap, gently pulling them downward. Lily lifted her butt off of the bed to help him pull the remainder of his clothes off. She pointed her feet up into the air, while Wyatt slipped the panties up past her knees and off of her feet. She glanced at them, glad she'd worn the pretty ones. There was an obvious wet spot on the front, proof that she had been more turned on that s

    Lily Wyatt squeezed Lily’s hand affectionately and the two of them walked across the house to the kitchen. Wyatt clicked on the light above the center island, illuminating a yellow notepad. There was some scribbling on the pad, so the two of them walked up to read it. It was a note from Mildred. “Hey Wyatt. We decided to go see that new dinosaur movie at the drive in. It doesn't start until almost nine. I want to see the second movie, so I made sure to bring pillows for her to sleep. At any rate, we'll probably see you in the morning. -Mildred.” Lily glanced over to the clock on the microwave. It wasn't even ten o'clock yet, which meant that she and Wyatt had the entire house to themselves for at least another couple of hours. “That was nice of Mildred,” Lily said. “Did you talk her into this so that you could get me alone?” She flashed a wink as she asked the question. “I wish I was that savvy,” he said, with a chuckle. “I'll happily take credit for it, though, even though it

    Lily Lily couldn't remember the last time she was this turned on. She was already shaking with desire as she walked past the restaurant host, with Wyatt following closely behind. She held his hand, leading the way out the door. She walked quickly, with an urgency in her step that had come from pure want. Oh, my God, she thought to herself. I've been wanting this so bad for the past week. It's a good thing he doesn't live far from here. “Hold up one second,” Wyatt said, chuckling as he struggled to keep up. Lily stopped and turned around. She gave him a once over. Her eyes went from his gorgeous face, then dropped all the way down his suit-clad body. Even though it was obviously an expensive suit, all she really wanted to do to it was rip it off of him. “Let me just send Don a quick text to let him know we're ready.” Wyatt pulled his cell phone out of the front pocket of his slacks and began typing on it. Meanwhile, Lily placed her hands over the top of his shoulders. “Hurry,” sh

    Lily Lily had Wyatt ate their fill of sushi. They sat back in their chairs, finishing off yet another glass of champagne. “You weren't joking,” she said, sighing with contentment. “That was the best sushi I've ever had.” “Wasn't it amazing?” Wyatt asked. “It's so fresh. I'd keep on eating, except that I don't think I could fit another bite of sushi in my stomach.” “Me either.” Lily gently patted her stomach. “Although, there were some pretty good desserts on the menu. There is a small chance that I might just able to fit some dessert in.” His eyes lit up. “You know what, I think I could make that happen, too. What did you see on the dessert menu that caught your eye?” “They have green tea ice cream,” she said. “Have you ever tried it before?” Wyatt shook his head. “No, I haven't. But, something about green tea and ice cream sounds like a strange combination.” “It's amazing,” she promised. “If we order some, will you try it?” “Of course,” he replied. “I'll try anything once.”

    Lily Lily sat across from Wyatt at the table. They were seated at the very back of the restaurant, right next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving them the perfect view of the sunset as it dropped below the horizon. The sky was dark orange, and the ocean reflected color of the sky. “It's so pretty,” Lily said, with a sigh as she gazed at the view. “So beautiful,” Wyatt agreed. After a moment, she glanced back across the table to find that Wyatt wasn't even looking at the ocean at all. He was sitting there, gently gazing back at Lily. She bit her bottom lip and pushed a strand of hair over her ear. “Thank you for taking me here,” she said. “You're very welcome.” Wyatt placed his elbows on the table and leaned forward a bit. “Thank you for coming with me.” The waiter walked up to the table. He looked to be in his forties, but was clean shaven and had his hair slicked back. He was dressed in a three-piece suit and carried with him a bottle of champagne. “Are you two ready to o

    Lily Her new dress lay on her bed, wrapped in plastic but still stunningly beautiful. Bonnie had been kind enough to hem the bottom of it right away, knowing that Lily needed it for her date that night. Lily glanced at the clock on top of her night stand and her eyes widened. She'd completely lost track of time. “Shit,” she whispered. “He'll be here soon.” It was already a quarter to seven, which meant that Wyatt would be at her apartment to pick her up in fifteen minutes. Luckily, she had already showered, but she still needed to straighten her hair and do her makeup. It's a good thing this isn't the first time I've had to rush to get ready, she thought. She dropped the towel that had been wrapped around her body. Naked, she walked over to her dresser and pulled out several different pairs of panties. After a few moments of consideration, she ended up picking the blue ones with the lacy top and the see-through front. They were sexy as hell. She'd never worn them before, but fig

    Lily Lily pulled her rickety old car down the narrow one-way street downtown. It was Friday morning and she'd called in sick at her coffee shop job, just so that she could go to La Dress and buy an outfit for her date with Wyatt that night. She knew exactly where to go. She'd walked by the shop a hundred times, but had only ever glanced in the window to gawk at the dresses they had displayed. The price tags started in the thousand dollar range, meaning she never ever considered actually walking into the store. I can't believe Wyatt is buying me a dress, she thought. She knew that he had more than enough money to afford it, but the gift was very much appreciated. After parking her car, she headed toward the shop. In an attempt to not look completely out of place in the expensive boutique, she'd dressed up the best she could. She had on a skirt suit that she normally saved for job interviews, but figured it would at least make her look like she could afford to be in the store. As s

    Wyatt Wyatt knew what he had to do. For the first time in months, he had a clear direction. There wasn't a gray area. It was black and white. I need to call Lily, he thought. He went to the sink and splashed cold water on his face, washing the tears away. He drew in a long breath and exhaled slowly. “It's time I make a move,” he whispered. A real move, though, he thought. Not this half-assed shit I've been doing lately. I'm going to call Lily and ask her on a date. An honest to god, legitimate date. Something she deserves, like a nice restaurant and the chance to get fixed up and go out. With newfound energy, Wyatt pushed away from the bathroom counter and headed back to his bedroom. He immediately grabbed his cell phone from the night stand and unlocked the screen. His confidence waned a little bit as he scrolled through the contact list to find Lily's name, but he refused to succumb to it. This was something he wanted to do and Wyatt wasn't the type to back down from what he w
