Camilla smiles. “Sorry, it’s not funny, but–”

“It’s funny in a sad way.” I give Camilla another squeeze. “But you’re here now, and things are way, way better.”

“Do I make you feel better, Daddy?”

My dick jumps. “Christ, we’reworking.”

“Oh, sorry. Didn’t know it was office hours.” Camilla slides out of my grip and goes to the table to unload the pastries from the bag. “Never mind, then.”

“Now, wait a second, I didn’t saystop.” I go after her and yank her back into my arms, peppering kisses down her neck and rubbing myself against her. It’s like I’m fifteen and can’t stop touching myself except much better because I’m grown ass man with a grown ass woman to play with.

Daddy and his baby girl. What could be better?

Camilla smacks my hands away from her middle. “Okay, okay. Seriously, though, we have to try this coffee because we have to buy a coffee farm before we leave Hawaii, right?”

I sigh. “Not wrong.” I glance through the kitchen door to make sure no one’s around. I lower my hand to my crotch. “But I am thoroughly distracted.”

“Coffee and pastries first, Daddy. I’m hungry.” Camilla plops down into her chair and leans on her elbows. She bats her inky eyelashes at me and gives me one of her mischievous smiles. “Whatever Daddy wants later.”

Can’t argue with that.

CAMILLA

“Tellme how you’re feeling, baby.”

It’s our last night in Hawaii, and I’m terrified that this is it. “What are we doing?”

He trails his lips across my ear to my neck where he places a claiming kiss. “You’re my baby girl. I’m taking care of you.”

“When we go home. What are we doing? What do you want?”

“I don’t want to let you go.”

“But when no one is watching, Daddy. When no one is looking at us. Is it just…” I want to say sex, but I am too scared. I am learning about our dynamic in real time, the way it plays out behind closed doors. I could read about what other people do and learn from that. But none of that informs what our dynamic is. What we want.

And I need to know.

Jack touches my chin and tilts my face up toward his. His lips hover over mine, centimeters from a kiss. “I want you in the dark, but…I want you in the light too.”

He doesn’t have to say anything else for me to curl around him and take him inside.

“Slow, princess,” Jack rasps in my ear as our hips throb together. “We’ll take it slow.”

Hard to take things slow when we’ve already started sprinting.

Walkingthrough the executive suite of CipherBit Labs is a bit like a fever dream. Not that long ago, I was clocking in every morning to begin my day as an assistant. Less than a month. Yet, the office feels so foreign to me. Like walking through your old high school after you’ve graduated.

Yes, I’m still carrying coffee. But this time is different.

I was waved through security without a problem and greeted by the peppy intern who stole my coffee before the fateful meeting I had with Seth. She offered to take me up to see Seth, but I told her I’d get there just fine on my own. It would feel wrong to be escorted through CipherBit like I haven’t spent the past four years here, my first years out of college, years I spent growing up in so many ways.

Seth’s door is open. I peek my head in. He doesn’t notice me at first, his eyes focused on one of his many monitors.

I knock on the door with my knuckle.

Seth pops his head up, the intense concentration on his face melting into a beaming grin. “You made it!”
