To be fair, it wasn’tcompletelyblank. I’d writtenArtist Statementat the top. And added a bunch of doodles of Felix and Blossom.
I groaned. Why was this so hard?
The internship was an incredible opportunity. I would spend six months working at a high-end New York City fashion house, getting hands-on experience in design and making connections in the industry. So why had I spent the past two days unable to complete the application? Why did the idea of moving to New York City fill me with dread and terror?
I couldn’t let fear hold me back. This was what I wanted.
At least, it was what Ishouldwant. What kind of person would I be if I passed this up? I’d texted all of my group chats after I got the call from Jacqueline, and everyone was excited for me. But that just made me more stressed, because what if I ended up not even getting accepted after all of this? And what if I did?
“Baby girl?”
King’s voice jolted me out of my haze.
“What?”
A sharp line of concern formed between his furrowed brows. “Come here, princess.” He held his arms out and I was out of my chair and rounding the desk before I realized what I was doing. He pulled me into his lap, squeezing tightly.
“What’s going on?”
I let out a shuddering breath, the tension lining my body easing as I breathed him in. “I’m having a hard time focusing.”
“On the application?” I would have missed the slight clench in his jaw if I hadn’t been watching so closely.
“Just feeling unsettled, I guess.”
Last night at dinner, I asked Leo and King what would happen if I had to move to New York City.Don’t worry, baby. We’ll figure it out.Wilder had been on shift, but I’d texted him and his response had been the same.
But Iwasworried. Leo and Wilder had jobs they couldn’t leave, and the thought of being apart from them for six months was agonizing. But if I didn’t get the internship, what would happen with my and King’s relationship? Would he return to his life in New York? I doubted my protective alpha would be okay being that far away from me, but I also couldn’t imagine him being happy leaving the city for Starlight Grove. How long until he got bored with life in a small town…bored with me?
King ran his hand down my back, his touch firm and soothing. “You’re so tense, baby. Does my girl need me to take care of her?”
My cheeks flushed and my pussy clenched. I nodded. Yes, that was exactly what I needed, what Icraved. He tugged me closer, his hard cock pressing against my hip.
His lips skimmed my cheek. “Tell me what you need and I’ll give it to you.”
I squirmed as his question reignited my anxiety. I didn’t want to think or make decisions.
King hummed, his eyes locked with mine. “Does my girl want me to take over?”
Relief washed over me. “Yes.”
“Okay, sweet girl. I’m going to give you what you need, but I have some calls to make first. Can you be patient and quiet for Daddy until I’m done?”
I nodded, my stomach fluttering with anticipation.
He leaned over and pulled a pillow out of his desk drawer. My lips twitched. “Should I ask why you have that in there?”
His responding smile took my breath away. He was so beautiful like this, carefree and happy. I hoped I had a tiny part in that. “I like to be prepared for whatever my omega might need.” He placed the pillow under his desk and guided me down to the floor until I was sitting on my knees, the cushion supporting me.
I would have teased him more about the pillow, but it was like he had pulled this scenario straight out of my fantasies, so I wasn’t about to complain.
He cradled my face. “Are you comfortable?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Good. Take out my cock.”
His voice was stern, leaving no room for disobedience. Not that I wanted to disobey. I unzipped his slacks and tugged his boxers down until his half-hard cock sprang free. He scooted his chair forward and his hand collared my throat. “You will keep my cock in your mouth until I’m done with my calls. If you let me fall out of your mouth, you’ll be punished.”
