“What are you waiting for?”

“I’m just not sure it’s the best idea.”

“Oh sure, I get it, been holed up in a gorgeous house with a pool for the entire summer sounds—just torturous, honestly babe, why don’t you go, try it out and if you don’t like it—well just come back.”

“I’m not sure.”

“What if I come up with you for the first week?”

“That might work.” That would be better, I could get over my childish fantasy.

It’s not like I’d try to seduce her dad while she was there. Shit, what was I saying? Like Dean Walker would even be interested in somebody like me.

Mr. Walker. I accept your job proposal. Your daughter will be joining me for the first week. We leave tonight. Brooklyn.

I wait painfully for a response back, while listening to Kate say ‘well,’ three million times before my phone finally buzzes with a response.

Brooklyn, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Dean? I’m glad you rethought over my offer. See you girls when you arrive. Dean x

“What did he say?” She excitedly asks.

“See you soon.”

She hurriedly rushes off to pack. She seems more excited about this job than I am, but why wouldn’t she? She’s goinghome to see her dad, and I can work on getting over the crush I have on her dad.

I’m still not sure that going to his home for six weeks is the best idea under the circumstances, but what’s the worst that could happen.

Before the interview at his club, I’d kept my desire for him secret, and I thought I’d done a very good job of hiding it, but there was just something seductive about the way he had acted towards me.

Something had stirred deep within me. It was like a button that was stuck. He’d pressed it, and now it was stuck. I knew it was wrong.

Maybe I should just find some unsuspecting victim to fuck before I went to Mr. Walker’s, but I wasn’t the type of girl who just jumped from bed to bed; after all, I hadn’t had sex in three years.

I couldn’t understand how people jumped from partner to partner.

After Brad had trampled all over my heart, I wasn’t ashamed to admit that it had knocked my confidence. Not that I hadn’t had offers from men over the years because I had.

I just hadn’t felt any real excitement from another man. Well, except for Mr. Walker, of course, but that’s just because I was horny.

I just needed to keep my desires at bay because he was a limit I couldn’t cross.

Kate would never forgive me if I tried to seduce her dad.

Even if he did instantly soak my panties with that one dark look of promise.

No, he was dangerous.

The kind of dangerous you had to stay away from.

The question remained, though: could I stay away from the danger that my body secretly yearned for.

That was a question I just didn’t have the answers to but going to stay with him wasn’t going to help me which is why I’d said no in the first place but I couldn’t tell Kate why I didn’t want to accept the job offer, she hated it when her friends got a crush on her dad and out of all of our friends the one person she’d never suspected of having a crush on him was me.

I’d gotten really good at hiding it over the years, but now I was older, I couldn’t control how my body reacted to him. If last night taught me anything, it taught me that my body craved Dean Walker.

I’d been friends with Kate most of my life, and while it had felt like we’d drifted apart over the last few months, I still wasn’t sure that I could hurt her by fucking her very hot daddy.

I’d tried to let go of my crush, but he’d crawled under my skin. He was an enigma; in his presence, it was like magic.
