He chuckles as he leaves, and I slowly pack up my desk while I keep thinking.

Paris…maybe Prague. Thailand is nice this time of year.

What about Aspen?

Hmm….

Fuck this, I’ve been tearing my hair out all day, trying to think of something.

All I know is that it needs to be in the next two days, because my balls are literally about to explode, and not in the good way.

All this family shit is great, but fuck me…I need some pussy love.

I walk into the bathroom and eye the shower…maybe just a quick wank to get me through until bedtime.

No…behave. Go home.

I take the elevator to the ground floor and walk out to Mark standing beside the car. “Hello.” He smiles.

“I still hate you, remember?”

“I prefer to forget.” He opens the car door for me and I get into the backseat. I stare out the window as we drive along.

What about Antarctica?

It’s white, cold, and not much else to do but fuck in bed…that would work.

That would work great.

I exhale heavily and stare out the window.

“Tough day, boss?”

“Yeah.” I sigh. “I’m trying to think of the perfect first date to take Gracie on.”

His eyes meet mine in the rearview mirror. “That’s easy.”

“Enlighten me.”

“Take her to your favorite place on earth…and just be you.”

“Just me isn’t good enough for Gracie.”

He smiles as he turns the corner.

“What?”

“Have you seen the way she looks at you, man?”

“How does she look at me?” I frown.

“Like you walk on water.”

“Yeah well, she can talk…” I smile at the warm fuzzy feeling that only my Gracie can give me. “She hung the moon.”

Twenty minutes later, we pull into the underground parking lot and Mark pulls the car up to a halt, I climb out and lean in to get out my briefcase.

“Daddy!” squeals through the parking lot. “Daddy!”
