“In my bedroom?”

He jerked his head from side to side.

“No. No bedrooms, no bathrooms. I’ll respect your personal space as much as I can, Sutton.”

“Show me?” I looked at the pocket that my hair wasn’t in. “On your phone.”

He did just that, staying still and silent as he showed me the live feed. I felt him shudder again when he showed me the cameras which captured the two of us. I noted where the cameras were and smiled when he finished and put his phone away.

“Okay.”

Theo frowned.

“Okay?”

I nodded.

“I just wanted to know where to smile when I’m walking around.”

He let out a groan and twisted away from me with his hands fisted on top of his head.

“Fuck.”

I hadn’t meant to torment him but I quickly understood I had. He liked watching and my interest in it probably made him feel like I was giving him permission to push those boundaries. He’d sounded anxious when he’d admitted he didn’t know how far he’d go. There really was something wrong with me, though, because I wanted him to watch me. I’d never once considered that kind of thing before this but Theo made me feel strange, not like my normal self at all. I didn’t want to question it.

“Go to bed, Sutton.” He barked the command at me but I didn’t take offense to it.

“Okay, Theo.” I smiled at him before checking on Dad once more and walking back toward the house.

I knew he was watching me. I knew I was pushing him when I looked up at the cameras with shy glances and smiles. By the time I got to my room in their massive house, I was shaking with desire. It took every bit of my self-control to not dive into the bed and touch myself.

CHAPTER 14

Sutton

I met Lee early the next morning when Naomi, the night nanny, left. I didn’t mention the fact she didn’t live in their house. She hopped in her car and drove away without a single oversized man stalking after her. I wasn’t even acknowledging the fact it made me feel special. Stupid. So stupid. Naomi handed the little girl off with barely a glance at me and then she was gone, leaving me standing in the kitchen with a toddler who had no idea who I was.

“Well, good morning, Lee. I’m Sutton. I’m going to be your new nanny. How does that sound?”

“Button! I got buttons.” She reached up and pulled my glasses off my face before tossing them across the room. “I want Daddy. I want Daddy now!”

It wasn’t surprising she was screeching at me. I was a stranger who’d just scooped her up.

“We’ll find your Daddy but I can’t find anyone without my glasses. Want to see how blind I am?”

She scowled at me in the cutest way but nodded. I bumped into the kitchen counter and then the fridge, pretending I couldn’t see where I was going at all. By the sixth thing I’d bumped into she was giggling. I held one hand out in front of me and started feeling around. When she giggled harder, I reached up and felt her face.

“What’s this? Is there a small, adorable monkey in my arms? A small, adorable monkey with the giggles?” I teased my fingers over her neck and laughed with her as she squealed and laughed even louder. “I’ve heard of these. Screaming monkeys who giggle like cute little girls!”

“This doesn’t seem like a good place to leave your glasses.” Leon stood on the other side of the kitchen, probably frowning.I couldn’t tell without my glasses, but I was assuming since that seemed to be his normal around me.

Lee struggled to get free and took off for Leon. I followed to get my glasses, but when I got to them, he held my glasses back from me. I reached for them anyway.

“Say please, Angel.”

Lee, in his arms, slapped his face and giggled.

“Daddy, that’s Button.”
