I sort of felt like it was the latter. She is my child after all.
“So?” the sex goddess questioned, her husky voice emphasizing the ‘O.’ Her lips pursed open in the perfect circular shape and I got a flash of pink tongue. God, I could already imagine those lips wrapped around my cock, the way she’d look up at me as her tongue swirled around the tip of my dick…
My cock stiffened and I shifted in an attempt to hide it.
Shit, had I really been that long without a woman that I was panting after a stranger? Albeit, a young, sexy as hell stranger.
“Think you can handle it?” I asked, nodding toward the door. Her eyes laughed up at me.
“I wouldn’t have asked otherwise.” She grinned before turning her attention away from me. It gave me a moment to rake my eyes from top to bottom, and I definitely liked what I saw. She had a trim, athletic body, with just enough curves to have my palms itching to reach out and touch. Definitely the type of woman who would look good from any angle. Including bent over in front of me, like she was now, her pert ass sticking straight up in the air, just a foot away from my throbbing cock.
She was wearing a smart business suit, something I was familiar seeing on fellow co-workers or employees. But on her it looked completely different. Sexual, in a way that it didn’t for anyone else. She held herself differently. She had a sexy sort of confidence oozing off of her, not to mention a delicate, faint scent of something floral that sent my brain into overdrive.
Fuck.
Being a single dad played serious havoc on my sex life. Granted, I wasn’t celibate, far from it. But having Tobi around though made it difficult to date, to say the least. And to be honest, it’d been a long time since a woman had affected me like this. Since I wanted to grab someone and press her up against the door right here and now, kiss her roughly and slide my hands up her tight, completely work appropriate skirt…
And all it had taken was the sound of her voice.
I cleared my throat.
“It’s my daughter Tobi, she locked me out,” I said, trying to explain the bizarre situation of trying to persuade someone beyond the door to let me into my own office.
“I figured as much,” she replied, her eyes casting towards me playfully. I opened my mouth to respond but her gaze moved away to look back at the office door.
“Tobi?” she called out softly.
“Who’s that?” Tobi asked. Muscles in my shoulders I didn’t even know had clenched suddenly relaxed. I only heard curiosity from my daughter now. The tears, it seemed, were gone.
“My name is Dalia,” my mysterious sex goddess replied. “Can I come in Tobi?” There was a scuffle on the other side and I held my breath.
Tobi still didn’t open the door.
“Come on Tobi, the bad man is gone,” Dalia said, throwing me another smile and a wink. I hid the grin suddenly tugging at my lips. I should probably correct her, say something to defend my business partner, but I didn’t. I didn’t want to erase the easy camaraderie and twinkle in Dalia’s eyes.
I liked it too much.
“Promise?” Tobi asked.
“Cross my heart,” Dalia replied softly, running her fingers across her chest in an X as if Tobi could see her. And I just stood there and stared. She was perfect, almost unreal. She had an easy way with children that I couldn’t help but appreciate.
I sighed when I heard the lock click open and I grabbed the handle. Tobi was standing in the middle of the office as we walked inside, her shoulders scrunched up in apology, curiosity shining in her eyes.
“Hi,” Tobi said to Dalia, completely ignoring me.
“Tobi,” I said, my voice low. I put a whole bunch of meaning in her name, knowing full well she knew what I was trying to say. Over the last three years, I’d built up quite the ‘lecture’ in just a few syllables.
“I love you, daddy,” she said with a smile. I shook my head, relieved Tobi seemed unaffected by Ted’s earlier outburst and I moved to my desk. I had piles of work still left to do and frankly, anything to keep my mind, and hands, off Dalia, was probably a good thing.
Dalia laughed at us as she walked further into the room to stand directly in front of Tobi. And Tobi didn’t back away, she stood there, swaying back and forth, looking up at Dalia with awe in her eyes.
“Are you a princess?” Tobi asked, her voice a whisper. My mouth lifted in a half-smile. Funny that my daughter saw a princess when she looked at Dalia. All I could see was her and me, naked and tangled in my sheets. The things that I would do to her gorgeous, trimmed body; the way I would wrap her sexy long hair in my fist and pull her head back as my lips devoured hers…
I shook that thought away.
Dangerous territory.
“Oh no, not me. You are the princess, aren’t you?” Dalia whispered back in a conspiratorial way. Tobi giggled, her nose scrunching up in the way I always thought was charming.
“Daddy calls me that sometimes,” Tobi confessed, giving me a sidewise look. I did my best to look sternly back, still not ready to give up on the fact that she’d sealed me out of my office. But then her dimpled cheeks deepened and I sighed in defeat.
I was a sucker for my daughter. And even though she was only three, she knew it too.
“I’m sure he does.” Dalia turned to me and extended her hand. “I’m your new hired help.”
I know I looked surprised. I felt it, my mouth opened and my eyes widened. And hell if a flash of heat didn’t race down my spine. Wait a minute. Hired help…
This woman was going to be my new nanny?
Perhaps I wasn’t that mad at Ted after all.
Coming around the desk I took Dalia’s hand. My own dwarfed hers and I felt a tell-tale shiver run through her as I gripped her fingers tightly.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for …” I trailed off, motioning towards Tobi and the door. “Earlier.” She nodded before removing her hand from mine. My fingertips grazed across hers slowly and I saw something flash in her eyes before she looked away.
I felt the answering heat inside my own. Not to mention the tension in my crotch as my cock pulsed with need. Shit. I was not going to be able to control this much longer. And yet, I didn’t want to leave the room, didn’t want to tear my eyes from Dalia’s sexy curves.
This day was getting more interesting by the minute.
“Ah, Cedric, so you’ve met your new nanny,” Ted boomed, coming through the door. Tobi made a small noise and ran towards Dalia and me, the both of us still standing close together.
“I did, just now,” I replied, resting my hand on Tobi’s shoulder. I looked down and caught Tobi staring at Ted with narrowed eyes, though she didn’t look scared. More annoyed at this point.
“My daughter will be a great addition to your household,” Ted continued, coming close to rest his hand on Dalia’s shoulder.
Wait.
What.
My stomach clenched, churning almost painfully. Ted’s daughter?
That put a screeching halt on my current thoughts, all of which involved Dalia wearing nothing but me.
“Your daughter?” I coughed out, making sure I heard right.
Ted nodded.
“Youngest.” Dalia smiled at me and turned to her father. I didn’t hear what they were saying. I was swimming in disappointment. Because a few seconds ago, I was about to ask Dalia out on a date. Dalia, Ted’s daughter.
His baby.
And just like that, I’m right back to being mad at Ted again. Hell if he hadn’t just ruined my whole day.
