Victoria The Billionaires Maid

Ally’s (POV]

We stayed outside, eating ice cream and swinging and talking until it was nearly twilight. By then, a full Laurie had burned off her sugar high by racing around the yard in pursuit of one of the myriad balloons that hung from every tree and post. There was a lot of clean-up left to be done and not even referring to Seth’s giant sand pit in the family room that had barely been used but when I stood to see to it, Seth pulled me back down, so close that our thighs rubbed together.

“You’ve done enough today. Time to relax.”

Oh yeah, like I could do that when he was stroking my hip through my flimsy dress. All the while, I made sure Laurie was still occupied with her balloon and not watching us.

“We can’t just leave

everything out here. If it rains tonight”

“So stuff will get wet. No big deal. They’re folding tables and cheap tablecloths. Easy to replace.”

“But that all costs money. No reason to what are you doing?” I asked breathlessly as he inched my dress up to caress my bare skin.

“Not nearly enough.” He turned his head into my hair. “Next time, don’t wear panties. I want easier access.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I snorted out a laugh. “Dude, you want me to go commando at a children’s party? I was running around all day. Pretty sure a random kid doesn’t need to see my muff and be scarred for life.”

Seth chuckled and tugged at the edge of my panties. “I’d love to see your muff.” He dropped his voice until it was barely a whisper over my skin. “I’ve been fantasizing all day about going down on my knees between these pretty pale thighs and licking your pussy until you come all over my chin.”

My fingers slid off the condensation on my empty bowl of ice cream. “Hi, little ears nearby.”

“She’s not paying attention.” He tipped up my chin with his thumb. Sometimes he seemed to have ten hands and he knew exactly how to use all of them. “Stay over tonight.”

Arguments formed in my head. It had been a long day, and I wanted my bed. Needed that space to myself to regroup after the confusing feelings being with Laurie and her friends had stirred up in me. I’d enjoyed playing with them and keeping them from getting into too much mischief. It was tiring, sure, but it was rewarding too.

Add in Laurie’s questions and the whole Tina thing that morning and the conversation with Seth that had come afterward, and I was seriously in want of some alone time.

But then I glanced over at Laurie, babbling to herself as she sat on the grass and poked at her Sleeping Beauty balloon, and absorbed the warm muscles pressed against my outer thigh and I didn’t want to leave. My loft with Sage was fine. I liked it well enough, and maybe someday it could be a home.

This place and these two people had been home for me since the day Seth bought the house, right after his divorce.

“Okay.”

Seth frowned, his expression so like his daughter’s when she was trying to puzzle out something. “Seriously?”

I fought not to smile. “Seriously.”

“Babycakes, it’s bedtime.”

Laurie glanced up and pouted. “No.”

I had to laugh. He was about as transparent as glass. “How about a story first?”

“She needs a bath too,” I added under my breath.

“Another one?” Seth asked, sounding as petulant as his child. “Twice in one day? A little soil never hurt anybody.”

Laurie picked that moment to stand up from the ground, revealing the streak of dirt down one leg, ending in a glob on her frilly white sock. I glanced pointedly at Seth.

“Not it,” he said under his breath.

“I’ll do it.” Chuckling, I pressed my bowl into his rock-hard belly and rose to go scoop up Laurie off the ground, balloon and all. “Bath first, then a story. Can even have bubbles tonight.”

“Yay.” Laurie wrapped her arm around my neck and pushed the balloon in my face. “Here.”

“Thanks.” I grinned over my shoulder at Seth, and he was doing that way too intentionally watching things again. It made my knees tremble and my belly does somersaults and my skin feel too tight all over. Especially since he was smiling, his eyes warm and brown like melted chocolate.

He liked seeing me with Laurie, almost as much as I enjoyed taking care of her.

Maybe my reserves for taking care of others weren’t nearly as low as I’d believed. Somehow taking care of her and of Seth filled me up in other ways.

“You coming in?”

He stretched out his legs, still holding both bowls of ice cream. Just the shift of his pose widened his legs enough for me to see exactly what was going on in his jeans and the late-day sun wasn’t creating any shadows. That gloriousness was all Seth.

I wet my lips and looked up into his eyes. He did the same, except on him the gesture was lazy and lion-like. A king surveying his backyard kingdom, and I was one of his belongings. That should’ve set my hackles up, but instead, all it gave me was a flutter, way down low.

“I’ll be right in,” he said.

Nodding, I juggled his daughter in my arms and smiled. “You ready for bath time and a story? Maybe Mr. Peppermint and the Pushy Poodles?”

“Yes!” She gave me a loud smacking kiss right on the mouth. “Love you, Ally.”

It didn’t matter that “love you, Ally” sounded like club eww, Awee. It was probably the sweetest moment of my life.

Sucking in a breath, I tipped my head down to hers. “Love you right back.”

The rustle of grass behind me gave me a second to regroup before Seth pulsed his hips against my ass. He truly didn’t care that he was harder than wood and just the feel of him against me was enough to soak my panties. He’d probably done that intentionally. Same reason he’d casually looped his arm around my waist and caught his fingers in the unused belt loops of my dress. “My two favorite girls,” he murmured, his breath warm on the nape of my neck.

More flutters, by the dozen this time. I adjusted Laurie in my arms and gave Seth a quick upturned smile before gently detangling myself and heading for the porch stairs. “In we go.”

“Not you, Daddy,” Laurie said, and Seth gave a big sigh.

“Yes, I know, banned from my bathroom. Or am I now exiled from the house too?”

Laurie clutched her balloon and stuck out her lower lip while she thought. “Come in.”

“Thank you, Princess Laurie.” Seth ate up the steps with his long-legged strides and opened the back door just in time to let us pass. “After you, Princess Ally Cat.”

“Cat?” Laurie’s head came up and she grinned toothily. “I like cats.” She turned her head and stared hard at her father. “My little sissy wants a cat.”

I lifted my brows. I’d heard much talk about how Laurie wanted another sibling, and supposedly it had spurned Seth’s crazy babymaking idea. But I’d never heard Laurie talk about the sibling as if she was real one who could make pet requests, no less.

“Your little sissy?” I asked through the cotton in my throat. “Did you fill out an order form?”

Laurie giggled and dangled from my neck, stretching her arm out as long as she could so she could encompass her father too. “Boys suck.”

“Nice, kiddo.” Seth sighed and tweaked her nose, meeting my gaze over her head. “My child has very specific requests. They seem to get more specific by the day.”

The way he was looking at me again… God, it was as if he could see inside my womb and plant a kid there a girl, because hey, ask and ye shall receive from the sheer force of his stare alone.

He could get me in the mood to practice, that was for sure.

“Or a dog,” Laurie added. “My sissy likes dogs too.”

It was so weird to laugh about something that potentially had a big effect on my life too. If she got that sissy she wanted, it’d be via my girl parts. And I didn’t mind that thought.

One bit.

“Good to know.” I brushed a kiss over Laurie’s forehead and sneaked a glance at Seth. “We’ll see how that whole ordering thing works out.”
