Hold On
“I’m the best I’ve ever been. As long as we get these shares bought, I’ll be fine.”
“Got it. So when exactly did you get interested in pet care? That dog of yours needs an entire corporation to take care of him?” Connor chuckles. He was ten when we met. Tough, skinny little fucker back then. He’d taken on a few bully punks at his elementary school he’d found harassing a couple of six-year-olds on the playground.
They beat the shit out of him that day. Knocked two teeth out and broke his nose. He showed up at school the next day, looking like hamburger but he hid a baseball bat on the playground, and when recess came, he broke enough bones on both of them they didn’t come back to school for the rest of the year.
“Naw. Truth, the fucker that took over the agency near me that I’ve used since I got Buddha is an ass. I’ve got a score to settle.”
“You know, you could probably just call and get him fired. It’s not like you’re a nobody. Fair or not, who you are, you have influence the normal Joe on the street does not. No need to waste money buying out an entire company.”
“Just do it. I have my reasons. You know as well as I do that sometimes it takes more than just a punch to put a guy down. You’ve got to stick the boot in, make sure he knows he’s beaten.”
“Fair enough. I’ll let you know when we’re set. Might take a couple days, I have to get into it. See who the primary shareholders are and if anyone is looking to get out.”
“As fast as you can is all I ask.”
“I’m on it.”
These days, whenever possible, I win my battles on the right side of the law and without violence. We will see if this plays out how I plan; otherwise, Carver Daniels may have some steep hospital bills in his future.
I finish up with Connor by checking on how things are going with Newral. They’re young and new to business, so they’re going to need more of a guiding hand than usual, and I want to make sure they’re getting everything they need. He wrapped up the deal in my absence, stepping in and making up excuses for why I had to bail, but I know I owe him for that. I intend to clear up any ambiguity just as soon as I secure Emmy here with me and take care of the loose ends with her former boss.
Until I do those two things, I won’t be much good for anything, so the sooner I get my shit together with one very pleasant and one less-than-pleasant item on my to-do list, the better for everyone.

“YOU’RE NOT TRYING.” Emmy shoots me a crooked smile and crosses her arms like she’s annoyed, but a second later, she’s laughing hysterically, and tears are streaming down her cheeks.
“Really? You’re laughing at me?”
She nods and snorts, her hands covering her mouth as she doubles over trying to catch her breath.
Last night I made her dinner, fed her sitting naked on my lap, my cock buried deep inside her because I couldn’t bear to not be touching her. We made love through the night, and my sweet little one is insatiable.
Thank Christ.
Because I will never get enough. I ate her pussy, fucked it, then she practically tackled me to get to my dick and suck all her sweet juices off before I sprayed my cum on her world-class tits.
She rubbed it in, telling me she wants to wear me every day, and if I didn’t know before, I love this girl more than I knew was possible.
“Buddha.” I try to keep my voice even like Emmy told me. “Walk.”
He lifts one eyebrow, but instead of looking at me he looks at Emmy, as if waiting for her approval and instruction, like she’s the one that saved his ass from that chain and traded his down and out into Lifestyles of the Rich and Canine.
“Okay, okay.” Emmy’s pink cheeks are plump with her wide smile pushing them upward. “Let me show you one more time.”
We’re at the dog park, and she’s trying to teach me how to get Buddha to walk on a leash. We took a quick swim in the lake early this morning, splashing and kissing like a couple of teenagers. For her, I understand, but for me? I’m a good distance from my teenage years…but fuck if I don’t feel sixteen when I’m around her.
My heart thumps away in my chest like I’ve been running a marathon. Being around her makes me feel so alive.
I asked her what she wanted for breakfast, and she told me she wanted to take me to her favorite restaurant, then take Buddha to the dog park and show me how to get him to walk on a leash.
