Page 45 of Secret Baby Daddies
Harley
Jace marched me past Maddox’s office and I couldn’t help giggling when I heard Maddox’s gasp. Instead of stopping Jace rushed me toward the other side of the top floor. It did nothing to discourage Maddox, though.
“Hey! Come back here!” Maddox didn’t care he was shouting across an office and drawing the attention of at least five people who were walking around, trying to get their work done. “Jace, you ass.”
With his hand on my lower back, Jace led me to his office and pushed the door open, looking inside like he was checking something.
“Go on in, little girl.”
I blushed and looked around to make sure no one heard him call me that. Just because I liked it didn’t mean I wanted other people hearing it. At all. Ever.
“Jace!”
He patted my ass and nodded into the office.
“Get in there, baby, or I’ll bend you over and spank that ass red right here and now.”
Calling me little girlandthreatening to spank me in public? I was going to murder him. I didn’t want to find out if he’d actually spank me in public so I hurried inside the office and froze. It wasn’t the wall-to-wall windows or the view of Dallas which stole my breath. It wasn’t the impressive, masculine decor, or even the full bookshelves. To the right side of the big office was a large table which had been filled with buckets of fresh flowers.
The sweet floral scent filled the office and I moved closer without even realizing it. I gently touched anemone blooms, rose buds that hadn’t opened yet, and eucalyptus leaves that felt like velvet. A bucket of peonies called to me and I gently pulled one out and stared down at it in awe. I’d never been able to affordpurple peonies. The specially bred ones that looked like giant grapes before they bloomed had been on my list of flowers to get my hands on since I was old enough to know they existed.
“Did you know that peonies can symbolize bashfulness? In Greek mythology, there’s a story about Aphrodite finding Paeonia flirting with Apollo. Paeonia was horribly embarrassed and Aphrodite turned her into a peony. Which seems a little excessive to me but what do I know? There’s also a story about an empress once growing tired of waiting for spring so she prayed to the goddess of flowers and the next morning every flower bloomed except for the shy peony.” I didn’t even know if Jace was listening but I was just too excited to not nerd out. “This color is rare. It’s so special.”
Arms wound around my waist and I recognized Maddox’s light cologne. He rested his chin on my shoulder and sighed.
“Jace is about as good at giving gifts as he is friendly, unless he really, really cares about you. What do you think he feels about you, little one?”
I had no hope of stopping the tears that flooded my eyes and spilled over. My voice broke as I spoke.
“It’s for me?”
Jace pulled me from Maddox and cupped my face in his big, rough hands. They weren’t the hands of a man who solely worked in an office; they were rough from the work he did on the ranch.
“Yes, it’s for you, little girl. You were sad. You said not to buy you bouquets… are they okay? I’m sure I could have Andrea find—”
I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him. Just as he groaned and gripped my ass I pulled away and started grabbing flowers.
“They’re perfect. They’re better than perfect. I can work on them now?”
Jace laughed and nodded.
“I think you already are.”
Maddox stood next to his brother and they both watched as I pulled from certain buckets and ignored other ones. When the first bouquet was done I looked around for something to secure it just as a woman strode into the office, her six-inch heels not slowing her down at all. She didn’t even look at me as she crossed the room to stand next to Jace.
“Sir.” She tossed her long, perfectly silky black hair over her shoulder and locked her hands together behind her back. The move pushed her boobs out and I immediately looked down at my own large boobs. They definitely weren’t going to win any awards for standing as high as hers but they were still pretty great.
“Andrea. This is Harley. Whatever she needs, get it for her. Harley, this is my assistant, Andrea.” Jace knocked Maddox’s feet off his desk as he walked over to me. He looked down at the bouquet I held in my hands as he wrapped his arm around me. “That’s beautiful. How’d you make it look all…fluffy?”
I tried not to giggle but it was useless. The faux outrage he glared down at me with just made it worse. I was full-on belly laughing and repeating the word ‘fluffy’ over and over again as I tried to get control of myself so I could talk. When I noticed Jace laughing with me I had to cross my legs as the sudden urge to pee hit me. I shoved the flowers at him and looked around frantically. “Bathroom?”
Maddox jumped to his feet and rushed across the room to open a hidden door for me. I wanted to stop and freak out over the secret entrance to the large bathroom but I was barely going to make it as it was. Instead of staying outside, Maddox closed himself into the bathroom with me and leaned against it with his arms crossed.
I glared at him and pointed for him to leave but when he didn’t I had no choice but to yank my panties down and pee with his nosy ass watching.
“You’re a pervert.”
He laughed.
