Page 44 of Beneficial Misfortune

I’d looked for Katherine after our night together, but it was as if she vanished. She never came back to the club, and it’s not like I had her last name to track her down. And if she took my number, she sure as hell never used it.

It didn’t make sense, considering the night we had. I’d thought it was amazing, and Alex agreed. To the point that we even brought her up to Oliver and my father. They had agreed to meet her, and we could go from there, but even before we had a chance, it was gone.

Just like her.

I’m not too proud to admit she’d been on my mind since then. I’d gone over the night hundreds of times, be it to please myself or try to figure out where the hell it all went wrong. But despite having a wonderful memory to jerk off to, I couldn’t get past her. I’d never been so stuck on someone so fast, and I’d damn sure never chased anyone.

There was something about her I couldn’t forget, though. I’d tried to find someone else, but nobody held my attention. They were all so… fake.

Regardless of why she left, she’s here now, and we’re in agreement that she won’t be getting away again.

Well, most of us are. Oliver isn’t due home until tomorrow, but I’m sure she’ll win him over, too. I can’t imagine anyone could turn her down.

I make my way down to my room as the girls head up to change before they start dinner. Addison had been so excited to cook something for Alex and Father. It’s fucking amazing to see her like that with anyone that wasn’t us.

Not only was she amazing in bed, but she’s also fantastic with Addison. It’s no wonder Father hired her without hesitation. Over the years, we’ve probably hired a few dozen nannies, and none of them lasted more than a couple of months. But if I get my way, Kat will be the last nanny Addison ever has.

Maybe even more than a nanny.

I’d left my phone in my room when I went down to swim. I’d been in a bit of a rush to get down there before them, and I’m glad I did. Getting the chance to watch Kat without her knowing I was there was, ugh. Fuck, I’ve been hard since the second I saw her in that damn bikini.

Snatching my phone off my dresser, I pull up our family group chat to rub it in a bit; not that Oliver will care, but Alex and my father will. I bet they’ve never been more ready to call off a meeting than they were this morning. If it hadn’t beennecessary, I bet they would have, but I can’t say I’m upset about having some time alone with her.

Fuck… Kitten in a bikini is enough to make me pray for ninety-degree days ALL summer long.

I hit send and set my phone down to strip out of my wet bathing suit while I wait for their reply.

Faster than I’m used to with them, my phone vibrates, and I shake my head, smiling as I grab it. It seems even a big meeting can’t keep them entertained right now.

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

Alex writes back, and I curse aloud.

Why hadn’t I thought to snag a picture!?

Whatever, it’s not like I wouldn’t have more chances. Besides, I wouldn’t share it with him, anyway.

Green isn’t a good color on you, old man.

I look good in everything. Though probably not as good as she did in that damn pool… No worries, though. I’ll just have to get her into the hot tub with me. I bet she’d look fantastic with her bikini on the ground, skin flush from the water as I fuck her.

Damn it.

As if my dick wasn’t already hard enough, motherfucker knew exactly what he was doing.

Nobody is fucking her until we know if that's what she wants. For now, she is Addison’s nanny, nothing more.

Father’s message comes through, and I roll my eyes. He can act like that’s all he wants, but I know better. I saw the look in his eyes last night when we discussed keeping her around. I don’t know what she did or how she did it, but somehow, she’d won him over without sleeping with him and without any kind of push from us.

Though that bikini would look much better on the ground.

I read his message twice, but I still don’t understand what he’s saying.

How the hell could he know what her bikini looked like?

My phone vibrates again, and a picture loads in. It’s the backyard, the pool area specifically. Kat stands near the sun loungers with her little dress lying on one. I’d seen her come out in it, but she’d been out of view when she took it off…

The fucking cameras!
