Daddy's Boss

Looking up from his paperwork, Dawg sat back, breathing a sigh of relief. One night she’d been in his bed, and already he had the worst case of blue balls he could ever recall having. It pissed him off that she drove him crazy, but that was exactly what she did. She’d also taken him by surprise with stripping in front of him. Not that he minded. Her body was made for pleasure, and one day soon he intended to get his hands on her.

He was going to show her everything that she’d been missing out on, and when she thought she’d had enough, he was going to show her again, and again, and again. No part of her was going to be left untouched or unkissed. He wanted to fuck her brains out, and have her scream his name.

Smiling, he suddenly felt a great deal happier. When she’d woken up that morning, he’d seen the fight in her eyes. He’d expected it. She thought he was going to take everything away from her. The friends she’d made, her work, and also her commitments to many charities. He had no intention of doing any such thing.

Last night had been … extraordinary. He’d never taken a woman to bed before. The last thing he ever wanted was to have a woman grasping onto him, begging him. He hadn’t been interested in that at all.

Yet, when it came to Lori, the moment she drifted to sleep, he’d wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.

He’d pressed his nose against her neck, breathing in her beautiful scent. It really had been amazing.

Finishing his work, he got up and made his way outside just as his brother was pulling into the driveway.

“I have one night off to spend with the family, and I hear so many nasty little rumors.” He embraced his brother, Paul, and smiled.

“I see the rumors are already rife.”

“Something about a girl? You’ve bought a girl for your pleasure?”

“Climb in. I’ll tell you everything.”

Paul slid in beside him, and Nigel, his driver, began the morning rounds that always took place on a Saturday.

“Let me just guess,” Paul said. “I’m guessing this is Sean’s girl. The one that has become like an obsession to you?”

“It’s Lori. Sean was finally caught stealing—”

“You always intended for him to be caught, so that’s no big revelation.”

“Well, he offered me anything, and I saw an opportunity, which I took.”

“From the moment you saw this woman, you’ve had a boner for her. What is it about her?”

“I like her.”

“There are a lot of women out there. None of them have ever made you act crazy, and right now with Lori, you’re acting crazy.”

“What makes me crazy?” he asked.

“Simple. You’re wanting to be with her even though she’s said time and time again that she doesn’t want it.”

“Yes, but she’s also had that look in her eye that says otherwise.”

“Or you could be seeing things.”

“Whose side are you on?” Dawg asked.

“I don’t take sides, but if it was going to cost me anything, I’d take yours. I hope you know what you’re doing. This life is not for everyone.”

Paul knew that better than anyone as his wife was having a hard time dealing with everything.

“Was there anything else in Lori’s past that could perhaps show why she’s reluctant?”

“Dawg, man, I hate to break it to you, but not a lot of women get off on the violence and blood.”

“This isn’t about that. Something happened to her. Something changed her, and I don’t know what it is. She’s different from other women. She makes me happy.”

Paul sighed. “And what if you only make her miserable?”

“I’m not going to argue with you about this.”

His brother held his hands up. “I’m not arguing. I’m stating facts. You normally like it when I do that.”

“Not today. I’m not interested in whatever shit you’ve got to say.” He ended the conversation, staring out the window as he did.

Lori would come around to his life. She’d have to. She didn’t have a choice. The moment he’d caught sight of her, any choice she once had disappeared. He wasn’t willing to share, not now, not ever.

There was something he was missing, something big.

Pulling out his cell phone, he put a call through to his informant in the police force.

“I got you everything that is linked to that file, sir,” Andrew said.

“You’re sure. Nothing missing out of it? No blank pages?”

“There’s nothing about Lori Kinsley. She’s a good, hard-working woman. There’s nothing to hide.”

He heard the confusion in Andrew’s voice, and he ended the call.

“Here’s a thought for you,” Paul said. “Why don’t you just ask her?”

Ignoring his brother, he sat back and tapped his knee. Something wasn’t right. He didn’t understand it.

He’d find out the truth though, one way or another.

****

Work didn’t help Lori forget who was waiting for her back at home. She’d woken up this very morning with his arms wrapped around her, and rather than be angry about that, she’d enjoyed it. In fact, she’d lain back for several moments and simply basked in having his arms around her.
