Page 11 of One Night With My Grumpy Professor Daddy

You’re spectacular.

As opposed to the criticism I’ve received from everyone in my life lately.

I regain strength in my hips, and I buck back in time with his pumps. My climax hits another peak, rolling in waves, crashing into me, and blinding all my senses. I’m falling from the delicious high I was climbing earlier, my body convulsing all over.

He joins, releasing a deep groan from the back of his throat as he spasms, holding on to me even tighter.

“Fuck,” he grunts out as we ride our climax together. Collapsing against him, the darkness of the evening covers me,

Regret has nothing on how I feel right now. It’s officially the best moment of my life. So beautiful. So absolutely…spectacular. Lying on his blanket wrapped securely in his arms, I look up, admiring his strong, stippled jawline in the moonlight.

“Do you always fall for random girls in the Caribbean?”

“Only when they’re as unforgettable as you,” he says, leaning closer, our lips almost touching, “And the way you purr under me, kitten, is a fantasy I’ll never forget.” His broad arms envelop me as I nestle closer, melting into him. Little did I know, this random beach encounter was just the beginning of a journey that would challenge everything I thought I knew about desire and connection.

Chapter six

Drake

Four years later.

I wake up from what might have been the most incredible dream ever. And the funny part is I don’t even have the name of the star that’s showcased in it. Even though it’s been four years since that night, she still pops up as one of my most memorable rendezvous. Years have passed, and I’m still stuck on her sweet essence.

A lot has changed since then. life has settled into a pretty predictable rhythm.

I groggily brush my teeth, trying to figure out why I keep dreaming about that little seductress. I jump into the shower and crank the knob to ice-cold, praying the arctic blast calms my raging hard-on, helping me regain some self-control. With the water crashing over me, I do my best to shove all thoughts of that night to the back of my mind. It’s been four long years, and even though I’ve had some casual hookups, nothing comes close to matching that intensity.

Every now and then, I toy with the idea of jetting off to the Caribbean just to track her down. But here’s the reality check—I don’t even know her name. And secondly, going on a reckless hunt for some woman I barely met? I scoff at the idea because that just isn’t in the cards, not with my little girl to look out for. So, every time those memories resurface, I slam the door shut, focusing on the more important matters, like I’m doing today.

I leave my mornings clear, dedicating the time to Zoe and our daily routine. I get dressed, wake her up, and get her ready for school.

I’m already making pancakes by the time she strolls in the kitchen. “Good morning, Daddy,” she signs as soon as I turn around.

“Morning, princess. How are you today?” I mouth back, a smile tugging at my lips.

Even though Zoe’s deaf in one ear and can hear me if I spoke out loud, we switch It up. I want her to be comfortable embracing her differences, so we either read lips or use sign language. I place a plate in front of her and plant a kiss on her forehead.

“Thanks, Daddy… Let’s be fast— I can’t wait to get to school!”

It’s a fun age, we have cute conversations, and she’s still excited to go every morning.

“So,” I smile, “what would you like me to get you for being so good this week?”.

She lights up, “A new racket…one with a pink princess handle!”

“What did you do with the last one I got you?”

She sulks with no answer, and even though that’s not an answer at all, we both know it’ll work for me.

“Fine, I’ll get you a new one, but this time, I better see you use it at your next match, OK?”

She gives me a toothy grin, nodding like she won a year’s supply of cotton candy.

“Eeeeeek, she squeals…I love that one, Daddy! I will.”

“Let’s get going, we— don’t want to be late.”

Heading to the office, I’m relieved, knowing that despite me not being there, my law practice is booming. But it’s no mystery— when you have the best partners and systems in place, a business practically runs itself.
