I groan when I dip my hand inside her pants. “You’ve been walking around with a bare pussy, little Seagull? You’re just determined to drive me insane.”
 
 “Maybe,” she says, so sweetly I almost come in my pants.
 
 My fingers graze her between her thighs, and she moans. “Fuck, I need this sweet pussy.”
 
 “I thought one of us needed to be responsible,” she taunts me.
 
 “Do you want me to stop?” I ask, but at the same time I circle her sensitive bud, and she arches into me.
 
 “God, no, Declan, don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”
 
 “Tell me what you want, baby.” I massage her clit, my cock painfully straining against my pants.
 
 She looks at me with so much desire and trust inher eyes, I almost bolt, sure I don’t deserve her. But I’m too far gone to do the noble thing.
 
 I seize her lips, not allowing either of us to lean into reason.
 
 The voice of reason comes from outside the door. “Daddy!”
