I lasted until the ice melted completely. Then Sawyer created a small O with his lips around my clit and suckled rhythmically. That was all I needed to tip over the edge and I came hard with a cry that I muffled into my forearm.
Sawyer continued to suck through the initial powerful pulses of my orgasm, then he soothed my aching pussy with a few long, slow licks.
When he pulled back and kissed my knee, his beard shone with my juices, and his eyes twinkled with a mischievous I’d never seen before.
My body was hot and cold, my core throbbed and my chest ached as if I’d just run a marathon.
It was… amazing.
“The next time you’re too focused,” Sawyer said, kissing my knee once more. “You come and see me. That’s an order, not a request.”

“Daddy, Daddy!” Marie jumped up and down on the spot, swinging our joined hands between us as we waited for the green light to cross the road safely.
“Yes, darling?”
“Did you mean it?” She paused her jumping and stared straight up at me.
“Did I mean what?” Quickly, I wracked my brain just in case I had agreed to get her something that, in the cold light of day, was something I no longer wanted to commit to.
“I heard you on the phone last night, talking to Uncle Sawyer.”
“When you should have been sleeping?” I asked, grinning down at her.
“I was sleeping,” she insisted, batting her lashes at me. “I heard you in my dream.”
“Of course, of course.” The green light beeped into life and I tightened my grip on Marie’s hand as we crossed the road. “Well, what did you hear in your dream?”
As we reached the other side of the road, Marie jumped rather than walked the last few steps. “I heard you said we’re going to stay in the city.”
Ah.
The conversation with Sawyer had been along those lines, as the earlier trouble with the patent had me staying in New York for longer than I’d intended. Not that I minded, with someone like Callie to keep me entertained. Being back in New York had been unexpectedly pleasant and when Sawyer asked if I was sticking around, it felt like a good idea.
“Would you like that?” I asked while we strolled down the street. “To stay here? Or would you rather go back home?”
“I want to stay!” Her excitement was unexpected, but the smile on her face pulled one onto my own lips. “I really like it here.”
“What do you like about it?”
“Hmm.” She pressed her fingers to her mouth as we walked. “I like the colors and how fast everyone moves. Like superheroes! I like the noise and Uncle Sawyer, and I like Kane too. He’s so fun.”
Listening to her babble on about what she enjoyed was really the final nail in the coffin of my decision. I’d never envisioned being back in the city like this or back at the company, but it felt good. It was a true sign of Sawyer’s kindness that he kept me on as COO even though I stepped away to raise Marie. Any time I asked him about it, he would wave me off.
Now I’m thankful. I’d put a lot on hold after my daughter's surprise arrival, but maybe this was a sign—a sign that I could start moving forward again.
“Well,” I chuckled, squeezing her hand affectionately. “Maybe it’s time I start trying to find you a new school, huh?”
“Yes!” Marie declared, and she started to jump again. Then she spotted something down the street, and her eyes turned into saucers. “Callie!”
My heart jumped and I followed her line of attention. Two stores down, Callie was walking out of a bakery with a box in her hand but looked far too stressed to be someone dealing in baked goods. She was still breathtaking though.
Marie slipped from my grasp and sprinted toward Callie, thankfully stopping just before she reached her.
“Hi!” Marie grinned up at her.
