I hummed when we were both in the bath, her back against my chest. “If I’m going to breed your hot little body, it’s going to take some time,” I said, caressing her waist.
I chuckled when she splashed water over my face. “Stop being so dirty. You’re on time out. I can’t think when you speak so much filth.”
I smiled, hugging her close, and pressed a kiss on her cheek. I didn’t want the contract to end.

The next week, I prepared how I would ask my employees for the event night that was postponed since Summer and I were sick. I had already sent out a notice to meet up at the front of the building on Friday evening.
Seeing them gather around me made me nervous, but Summer and Void liked what I had said the previous night. Speaking of, where the fuck is she?
“Is everybody here?” Rahul asked, and they all said yes in unison.
I loosened my tie and cleared my throat. “I know I’m sometimes difficult and demand a lot out of each and every one of you.” They all nodded, Rahul covering his mouth to hide his laugh with a cough. “And besides the yearly bonuses, I have never taken the time to thank you properly or acknowledge your talents, so…”
I couldn’t find Summer in the crowd, but I had already planned everything, so we needed to be on time. “So, today’s night is on me. I, along with my assistant, Rahul, have planned this employee-bonding event, which is just another word for having fun… together.”
I cleared my throat, seeing the confused looks on their faces as they whispered to each other.
Thankfully, Rahul stepped in and said with a grin, “What he means by that is we are going to laser tag, and the winning team gets free coupons for Moore Beauty!” They all cheered, clapping, and I sighed in relief. “After the game, we will go for dinner, drinks and end the night at a karaoke bar. Who’s ready to empty our boss’s pockets? I know I fucking am!” Rahul cheered the loudest, laughing and freezing when he saw my expression and cleared his throat. “I think they like it, Sir,” he whispered, stepping back.
“I can see that,” I deadpanned and nodded when the employees thanked me before filling the bus I had booked for the night.
“Where the fuck is Summer?” I asked Rahul, and he shrugged.
“Her shoot for the ad finished this afternoon, and I think she left after that.”
“Left?” I frowned, checking our messages. She hadn’t told me anything about leaving. Where was she?
We waited outside as the excited chatter of my employees wafted through the bus. If it wasn’t for Summer, I didn’t think I would have done anything to show my genuine gratitude for them. They worked hard and didn’t question me when we had to pull some all-nighters during product releases. There was a reason that Moore Beauty was always sold out at Sephora among other beauty stores, and I was glad that my mother had handled her brand well before passing away.
“Hi!” I turned around, ready to scold Summer, but my mouth parted when she walked up to me. “Did you wait for long?”
I was speechless. She looked stunning and…
Wow.
Dressed in sneakers, cute shorts and top with her hair reaching her shoulders, she looked younger than she did before, and adorable. I liked her longer hair, but I loved the short hair on her.
“Damon?” She frowned, blinking at me.
I closed my mouth and looked away, scratching my neck. “You are late.”
Summer rolled her eyes and thanked Rahul by hugging him in front of me when he complimented her on her new look.
I glared at him when Summer stepped inside the bus.
“I’m going to kill you,” I warned him before entering the bus.
“In laser tag, right?” he asked, following me.
I didn’t reply, sitting beside Summer.
