THE SINGLE DAD 68
I laughed as I headed for the table and slipped beneath the covers, getting lost in a sea of fluff and softness until I felt his hand. The tables were close, and his fingers had searched under the blanket until they found mine.I glanced across the open space, meeting his grin.My chest swelled, my throat tightening.Some of the moments we spent together were so pure that they didn’t need words.They were raw, honest.Full of emotion.Like when he had walked into the pantry while I was presenting the birthday cake to Everly.When we’d had dinner with his parents the night before we left and he held my hand under the table.When I’d been on a call with Gabby while we were in Vegas and he took the phone from my hand, promising her he would keep me safe. That nothing would ever happen to me.Like now.The knock at the door pulled me out of my thoughts, and I heard Ford say, “Come in.”“Hello,” one of the massage therapists said.They closed the door behind them and washed their hands at

But the more I tried to direct him, the more he resisted.Ford was the kind of man who was always in control.He didn’t take direction.He gave orders instead.And that was exactly what his eyes told me as he breathed across my nipple.There was no touching.Just air.With feral, intense eyes, he asked, “Do you want more?”“Yes.”“How badly?”“Please,” I pleaded, the need like a blast that required urgent attention. “Ford … now.”He blew again, this time only a hairbreadth away from my nipple.His tongue extended, but before it touched me, he pulled back.“You’re going to get everything you want,” he told me. “But you’re going to have to beg.”NineteenFordI wanted her to beg.Maybe it was the fact that I hadn’t tasted her since we’d left LA, not risking the chance of Everly walking into Sydney’s bedroom and seeing us.Maybe it was because we were in a public setting and the thrill of that turned me the fuck on.Maybe I just wanted to hear how badly she wanted me.But as I had her p

My finger went in deeper, aiming upward, giving her that arch I knew she desired. And while I pulled back to my nail and slowly slid in again, I dragged my tongue up her clit, stopping at the very top, where I gave it a quick swipe.Her hips bucked.“Oh God,” she whispered. Her hand twisted within my locks. “Your tongue … I can’t even think of words.”That was how I wanted her.Lost.Because I was the same, mouth deep in her pussy, knowing even this wasn’t enough.I needed more of her.My tongue flicked harder, staying in that same spot, my finger picking up speed.And while I ate her, while I tapped my tongue back and forth, my dick grew.It fucking ached to be inside her.“Ford …” She was tilting her head up, staring down at me with a hunger in her eyes and on her lips. “You’re going to make me come.”I wanted to taste it.To watch it.To hear her scream.To know I was the one giving her this feeling.Rather than answer, I gave her more.I twisted my wrist, my finger hitting her G-s

“You’re coming with me,” I growled. My hand left her ass, and I lifted her off the edge and brought her into the water, setting her on top of me as I sat on the bench inside. “Ride me.” I gripped her cheeks, holding her face close. “Ride me like you want me to fucking come.”With her arms now around me, her knees bent at my sides, she lowered to my base and rose to my tip.Taking it.Working it.Squeezing it.She twisted her hips, dancing over my cock, the water making the temperature inside her pussy even hotter.“Sydney …” I reached behind her, finding that forbidden entrance once again and giving her my entire finger. “That’s it; fuck me.”She froze for just a second, as though she was getting used to the feeling again, her ass forming its own wetness, and that was when I knew she was enjoying it. When she ground over me because she wanted me in deeper.With each pump of her hips, my finger dived in and rotated, letting her feel the friction from all sides.She was bringing me clos

“And we also have some gardening to do, Miss E. There’re some basil and tomatoes that we planted before we left that need to be tended to.”“But I wanna go back.”“We will, one day soon,” I told her. “And we’re going to visit so many other places as well. Isn’t that something to be excited about?”“I gu-ess.”I lifted the curls off her neck, twisting them into a messy bun that I secured with an elastic from my wrist. “Remember that list of desserts we came up with that we want to try to re-create?”“Y-esss.”“Well, think of all the desserts we had on this trip that we can add to that list.” I leaned into her ear. “Like those strawberry brownies with chocolate fudge. Remember those?” I wiped the wetness off her face.She nodded, and after several seconds, she replied, “Yum-my.”“And the homemade ice cream we can make.”Her crying subsided, her little brows rising. “With M&M’s?”“Sure, we can try adding M&M’s to our ice cream.”“Mmm.” Her eyes went so wide after she rubbed them with her

“Syd’s my friend, Daddy.”That made me smile, and I said, “I will always be your friend. That will never change. And I’m still your nanny. That won’t change either.”“What do you think about that?” he asked her.She was quiet for a moment and finally responded, “Will we still do fun things together?”“Oh, sweetheart,” I said so softly, “of course we will. We’ll do all the things we’ve done before.”“Yay!”I connected eyes with Ford before he leaned toward Everly.“You understand that means that Sydney is now my girlfriend and she’s going to be at the house a lot more?” He turned her face, locking their eyes. “We’re still going to have our special time together—I want you to know that. But Sydney will join us during some of those occasions, and sometimes, you and I will be alone.”She said nothing.And then, slowly, a devilish grin came across her face. “Daddy, are you gonna smooch Syd like Uncle D smooched Kendall at my birthday party?”This kid.I couldn’t possibly adore her more.An

“You’re going to love it. The air, the scenery, the hotel I’ve chosen for us.” I smiled. “The fact that Gloria has a bakery inside the lobby.”“I die.”I chuckled. “You will.”Her face lit up under the setting sun. Her hair blew in the breeze. Her eyes turned warmer despite how icy they appeared.God, she was gorgeous.I would never stop thinking that.I would never be able to get enough of her.I cleared my mind with another swig of wine and said, “Once Everly starts school and gets settled, I’d like for just the two of us to get away. I want you to choose where we go.”She pointed at her chest. “You want me to pick the location?”I nodded. “Anywhere.”“Oh, that’s tough. There are so many beautiful places I’d like to see.”“We can go to all of them.”“Ford …” She exhaled, and her head dropped. She stayed like that for a moment until she placed her napkin down and got up from her chair. She came over to my side of the table and sat on my lap, wrapping her arm around my neck. “I feel s

Twenty-TwoSydneyI opened the backseat door of Ford’s SUV and said to Everly, “Jump in, my little muffin.”She climbed into her high-back booster seat and got settled. “Syd, I’m pooped.”I laughed, adjusting her placement and securing her in, locking the seat belts in place. “That makes two of us, girlie.” I checked to make sure it was all tight. “Comfy?”“Yep.” She yawned, and once Ford joined us in the doorway, she added, “Daddy, that hike was haaard.”“I was trying to tire you out. Did it work?”I knocked him on the shoulder—for Everly and for me. “It worked. We’re exhausted.”“Exhauuusted,” Everly echoed.I shut the door and giggled to Ford. “That kid,” I said before I went over to the other side of the SUV and climbed into the passenger seat.Ford started up the car and pulled out of the lot. “Are we stopping for ice cream? Or are my girls too tired?”“Ice cream!”“We’re never too tired for that,” I told him.His hand went to my thigh, and I watched him look into the rearview m
