Beachside With You

You'd think after spending twenty years living on a ship more than I ever lived on land, I'd be sick of the water. But as soon as I retired from the Navy, I settled in Sizzle Beach. The water was my home, and I couldn't bear to part with it.

And the water gave me my little one.

From the moment I laid my eyes on her two years ago, Raleigh had been the center of my universe. I was her caretaker, and she trusted me enough to regress as she felt like it, letting me take care of her.

It was one of the greatest gifts I'd ever received.

Until she started calling me Daddy.

Lines were beginning to get blurred, but I couldn't bring myself to stop it. I wanted her so badly. I wanted everything with her, but I never wanted to destroy her safe haven, her comfort, or what we had together.

But if she was willing to do the destroying to finally take a chance with me...

Well, who in the hell was I to stop her?
