Wyatt

Wyatt sat in front of the desk at his office. He was plowing through some financial documents that needed reviewing. It was a job that would normally have taken a few days, but he had every intention of getting it done in just a few hours. He'd made the promise to Maggie and Lily that they could go to the Renaissance Fair that afternoon and he wasn't about to back out of it.

The Fair was all that Maggie now talked about since last night. She'd even gone upstairs that evening and pulled out her pirate costume. She laid it out on the bed, making sure that she had all of the accessories to go with it. Lily helped her, too, by locating an eye patch and some gold-colored costume jewelry.

This should be great, he thought, taking another sip of coffee to help energize him through the morning. An entire afternoon with Maggie and Lily. It's just what I need. Maybe it will help me to relax a little bit.

A knock came on his office door and he glanced up to see a silhouette standing on

  • Single Dad's Surrogate   Chapter Twenty-four

    Wyatt Wyatt parked his Lamborghini in the garage and headed inside his house. It was just a quarter past noon. He’d worked his butt off to get everything done that he needed to and he had somehow pulled it off. They still had most of the day left to enjoy the nice weather at the fair. “I'm home!” he called out down the hallway, but there was no reply. He stepped into the kitchen and peered around, but nobody was there. The smell of hot dogs and macaroni filled the air. He recognized it, because it was Maggie's favorite lunch. He assumed that she must have talked Lily into making it for her. “Anybody home?” he said, continuing his search. Wyatt made his way past the living room, but didn't see either of the girls. Oh well, he thought. I'm sure they're around. Maybe Lily took Maggie to the park again or something. He went upstairs and to his bedroom to get out of his suit and tie. He dug through his closet, finding a nice pair of white shorts and a light blue polo shirt. It wasn'

    Lily Lily turned around in the passenger seat, bringing her attention toward the back of the SUV. Maggie was there in her car seat, her eyes as wide as her smile. Well, the one eye that Lily could see anyway. The other one was covered up by her pirate's eye patch. “We're almost there, Maggie. Just a few more minutes,” Lily said. “Are you excited to see the fair?” “ARRRR!” Maggie's response made both Wyatt and Lily chuckle. “I'm ready, too.” Lily turned back around in the seat, admiring the scenery out of the front window. The festival was held about fifty miles from town. It was in a rural area, a place where most people would probably never go if it wasn't for the fair. Now, though, there was endless traffic as guests practically clamored over each other to get in. Wyatt drove the SUV down the dirt road until they got to the very end, where it ran into two giant parking lots overflowing with cars. “Looks like we weren't the only ones with this idea,” he said. After driving ar

    Lily Lily took a seat on the opposite side of the picnic table from Wyatt. Maggie crawled up next to her, her blue eyes widening as she looked at the array of fair food that was spread in front of them. As always, Wyatt had gone all out. He’d ordered one of just about everything. They had turkey legs, funnel cakes, some sausages, a few giant pickles and of course, cotton candy. It looked like a Disney World food court had exploded onto the table. “Quite a feast,” Lily said. “Not even sure where to start.” “I think I'll try the cotton candy,” Wyatt said. “Maggie, what would you like?” “Funnel cake! Funnel cake!” she chanted, jumping up and down on the seat next to Lily. “She takes after me,” he said, chuckling. “She always wants dessert first.” Lily pulled the funnel cake toward Maggie and then helped her to break off some manageable pieces. “Thanks for taking us out here,” Lily said. “This has been a lot of fun.” “You're very welcome.” Wyatt swallowed a mouthful of cotton can

    Wyatt When Friday rolled around, Wyatt found himself unable to concentrate at work. His mind was whirling and anxiety tingled in his chest. He got up from his chair and paced back and forth. He was so restless that he couldn't sit down. Why is this bothering me so much? He thought. I knew that Lily would have to go home at some point. Why am I so upset by it? With only a few days left before Lily was to return home, Wyatt was a wreck. He'd spent the previous week watching her interact with his daughter and feeling such joy. Lily was such a good nanny. The perfect nanny, really. She'd taught Maggie how to tread water and had made her smile more times in one week than he had seen in the whole year since Caroline had died. To be honest, he'd smiled more this week too. Maybe I ask her to stay for a while longer, he thought. Maybe I can see if Mildred wants another week off of work. He knew that wasn't the answer, though. Not only because Mildred likely wouldn't want any more time of

    Lily It had to be perfect. Lily wasn't going to allow this meal to be messed up in anyway. Not this time. She'd already screwed up three dinners and wouldn't allow herself to do the same to another. Especially since this would be the last dinner she'd get to make for Wyatt and Maggie. One more chance to do it right. One more opportunity to show them that she wasn't a complete imbecile in the kitchen. Maggie was busy downstairs, playing with her Lego set. Since she was occupied, Lily had the free time to take on dinner preparations. It was nearly two in the afternoon, which gave her plenty of time to get things right before Wyatt got home from work. Lily opened the pantry and stood in front of it. She gazed up and down the shelves, like an artist trying to choose the perfect color for a painting. Let's see, what are we working with here? She thought. Her eyes scanned the rice and the potatoes, then went upward toward the canned food and boxes of pasta. “Hmm,” she whispered. “Noth

    Lily Lily handed Maggie a plate. “Can you put this one at the end of the table?” she asked Maggie. Maggie marched the plate over to the far side of the dining room table and set it down. “This one is for Daddy,” she said. “Did you set out the silverware?” Lily asked. She nodded affirmatively. “Yep.” “Good,” Lily replied. “Thanks for helping me out with this, Maggie. I couldn't have done it without you. Your dad should be home any minute and we can have dinner as soon as he gets here.” God, I hope everything turns out okay this time, she thought. It should, though. I spent over an hour researching how to cook the perfect steak. Lily was pretty sure she had nailed it, too. She had seared the steaks in the frying pan, just long enough so that they had a nice, brown crust on the outside. The pad of butter on top had just finished melting. They smelled absolutely amazing, too. For the first time since she'd started working there, she felt fairly confident in the meal. The sides h

    Wyatt Wyatt loosened his tie and headed toward his closet. His belly was full with the best steak he'd ever eaten and he was still shaking his head in awe because of it. That was so good, he thought. Lily pulled it off, just like she had promised. He slipped out of his suit and hung it up on a hanger. He then dug through his clothes to find a polo shirt and a pair of slacks. As he got dressed, his mind was on Lily. He wasn't just thinking about the meal she'd just made, though. He was thinking about how fast the time was moving and that he only had one more night of her living with him. I really don't want to see her go, he thought, making his way to his bathroom to comb his hair. It's been so incredible having her here. Wyatt knew that Lily would go home at some point, but now that they only had one evening left, it suddenly felt very real. It didn't matter that she lived close and that she'd still come over to see Maggie once in a while. Having her actually live there was diffe

    Wyatt Wyatt had another bottle of Cabernet in his hand. When he turned the corner into the living room, he saw Lily seated on his overstuffed leather couch. Her bare feet were up on the coffee table. She had her glass of wine in one hand and she was taking a sip from it when he walked in. There was soft music playing. It had a nice rhythm to it, but no words. Wyatt didn't recognize it. “Who is this that's playing?” he asked, taking a seat next to Lily. “It's a band called 'Wild Roots',” she said. “They're brand new. I like them, though. It's great music to dance to.” “You dance?” Wyatt asked. Lily nodded. “Yes. I love dancing. I haven't gone out to dance in a long time, though.” “Why not?” “Nobody to go with,” she said. “I mean I have a few girlfriends who will go out with me, but they like to go to clubs that play hip hop music. That's not really the kind of dancing I like.” Wyatt was no stranger to dancing. When Caroline was alive, she had talked him into taking numerous da

    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
