Risking the Crown (The Crown 2)

I could tell Sophia was trying to make sure her daughter didn’t grow up spoiled. That was going to be hard to combat for a while. I wouldn’t be able to deny her anything. I had a lost time to make up for.

“Why don’t I go with you to pack the bag?” Kenley offered. “You can explain everything to me.”

They left and I held my daughter. “Just you and me.” I bounced her around the living room. We had a full day to spend together. It was starting to hit me, this is how my days should always start out.

I looked at Adaline.

“I promise you, we’re going to get to know eac

h other.”

I closed the French doors behind me and walked onto the deck.

“How did that go?” Kenley asked.

It was dark on the beach. There was nothing but stars in the sky. It was clear and breezy. The waves crashed.

“Sophia seemed happy it went well. I assured her we made sure Adaline had her afternoon nap and there wasn’t a trace of sunburn on her.”

I sat in the chair next to Kenley and brought her into my lap. I had spent my day with Adaline.

“I’m glad,” she purred, rubbing her hands over my chest. “I missed you today.”

“I missed you too.” I kissed her.

She sat forward. “The beach was fun, wasn’t it?”

I nodded. “She’s a cute kid.”

Kenley laughed. “She takes after her father.”

“I had no idea children were so exhausting. No wonder my parents stocked the nursery with nannies.”

“Maybe we should go to bed,” she suggested. Her hands slid under my shirt, raking her nails over my ribs. I inhaled. “If you have another afternoon with your daughter like today planned, you might want to sleep while you can,” she warned.

“The staff is gone.” I kissed her throat. “We don’t need to go inside.”

She licked her lips. “The agents are still around.” Her hips rocked into my lap. My cock grew hard.

“They’re always around. If I waited for them to be out of earshot every time, I’d never get to fuck you, baby.”

She gasped. “Is that what you want to do right now?”

I looked at the cabana that enclosed the west side of the balcony. Canvas curtains were the only partition, but that was enough.

“Oh, that’s what I’m going to do right now.”

I waggled my eyebrows. Kenley giggled when I stood. She wrapped her legs around my waist and I walked inside the cabana. I turned and tied the canvas together, enclosing us inside.

The sound of the waves crashing on the beach echoed around us.

I slid the tie from her robe and watched it fall to the floor. She was wearing a satin gown that brushed the tops of her thighs. I groaned at how her tits poked against the material.

She smelled like the sun and beach. Her hair was still damp at the ends from her shower.

I gripped her ass, squeezing hard.

“Nic,” she sighed.
