I laughed heartily as she disappeared then followed her instructions, quickly finishing up with a few emails and signing the documents Patti had given me. I handed them to her as I passed her desk. “Take the rest of the day off,” I told her. “Actually, you might as well take next week off. I doubt I’ll be here.”
Patti chuckled and waved me off. “If I’m not here, this place would fall apart.” She wasn’t wrong. “But I might leave a little early every day. Now go,” she encouraged with a shooing motion.
I grinned and gave her a smart salute before striding to the elevator and taking it to the first floor where the daycare was located. The wait was finally over.
Chapter 7
Justice
When I walked into the daycare, Pandora, the manager, was sitting at the front desk doing paperwork. She looked up with a warm smile, but it turned puzzled when she saw me. “Um, Mr. Kendall, is there something I can do for you?”
I nodded and lifted my chin in the direction of the classrooms. “I’m here for Blair.”
Her mouth turned down in a confused frown. “I don’t understand, is there a problem? Because she’s been doing a fantastic job. She’s a natural with the kids.”
That put a smile on my face. Yes, my girl was going to be an amazing mother. “There’s no problem,” I reassured her. “It’s her birthday, and we’re going to celebrate.”
“Oh, okay.” She sounded relieved, and I cocked my head to the side curiously. “I was worried that you were pulling her internship or something.” She smiled sheepishly and shrugged. “Honestly, when you told me to hire her, I was skeptical. But now, I really don’t know how we could live without her.”
“You’re the reason they hired me?” We both turned at the sound of Blair’s voice. She was standing at the entrance of one of the classrooms, holding an infant in her arms. My dick practically wept at the sight. “Why would they do that just because you asked them to?” she asked, clearly perplexed.
“Mr. Kendall is the boss, Blair,” Pandora said with a chuckle. “When he says jump, we say ‘how high?’”
Blair’s clear blue eyes turned to study me, and I wanted to smack myself upside the head for being so dumb. I’d forgotten that she didn’t know I owned the company she worked for or that I’d created her “internship.” This wasn’t how I’d envisioned her finding out, but that’s where we were.
“I created the position, but you were absolutely qualified for it,” I told her, holding my hands out to the sides; palms up.
“K-Corp,” she said slowly, putting emphasis on the K. “Justice Kendall.” She shook her head and closed her eyes, her cheeks turning pink. “I can’t believe I never put that together.”
I covered the distance between us in two strides and glided my fingertips over her cheeks, then along her jaw. “I wasn’t exactly up front about it,” I acknowledged softly.
When her eyes opened again, she peered up at me through her lashes, and a bright smile stretched across her face. “I can’t believe you did that for me.” Her blush deepened, but she lifted her head fully to meet my gaze. “You remembered that I wanted to work with kids?” Her tone was filled with wonder, and I smiled tenderly.
“You’d be surprised how much I remember,” I teased with a wink. She blushed, and I shifted my stance to hopefully hide my raging hard on. “As incredible as you look with that baby in your arms, let Pandora take her and go get your things.”
Blair’s expression clouded with confusion and a little fear. “Are you ending my internship?”
“Absolutely not,” I denied with a shake of my head. “But you’re done for tonight.” My eyes drifted to Pandora, and I cocked my head towards Blair. The manager hurried over and scooped the baby from Blair’s arms.
Once again, that same longing lingered in her eyes as she watched them walk away.
“Patience, bunny,” I murmured; then nearly groaned at the memories of saying that to her in my fantasies. We needed to get the fuck out of there so I could sink into her barely legal pussy and give her the baby she so desperately wanted. “Go get your backpack, Blair. We’re leaving.”
“I’m leaving with you?” She was clearly perplexed by what was happening, but now wasn’t the time to explain it in detail so I just nodded. “Where are we going?” she asked.
“To celebrate your birthday.” It was the absolute truth. We were going to celebrate with a special dinner at home, and then I was going to commemorate the day she became mine by popping her teenage cherry. “Hurry, bunny.” I encouraged her by turning her around and giving her a pat on her deliciously rounded ass.
She glanced back at me over her shoulder. Her eyes were round with shock, but she was silent as she ducked into the classroom. A minute later, she was back at my side with her backpack slung over one shoulder, and I immediately took it from her. Blair looked up at me through her lashes and smiled sweetly. “Thank you.”
