Daughter's Best Friend Read online

  Tell each other everything?

  She was in a dream world, and right now she didn’t want to wake up.

  “Okay, you want me to tell you everything?” she asked.

  “Yes.”

  “Will you tell me everything?”

  “Of course.”

  “Have you ever done anal?” She giggled as he jerked the car a little when he stared at her. “I bet I surprised you with that one.” She had love the way he teased her ass, and it had made her curious. Jackson was old enough to be her father. He was wise, and loving, and gentle, and experienced. How experienced though?

  “Yes. I’ve done anal.”

  He already knew her answer.

  “Do you want to fuck my ass?” she asked.

  Her pussy grew slick.

  “This was about you and me getting to know each other out of the bedroom. You’re not exactly helping.”

  “You know everything that there is needed to know about me.”

  “What team do you support?”

  “Like sports?” she asked.

  “Yes.”

  “I don’t support anyone at all. I don’t do sports, Jackson.”

  “Me neither. I always get tickets to football and baseball, and other balls and things. I give them away. Never really understood it. My wife loved football though.”

  She smiled. “What else would you like to know? How I tried to steal Bella’s homework because I totally ditched the class, and needed help?”

  “You stole her homework?”

  “Nah, I was going to, but I couldn’t do that to my friend. I cared about her, and I didn’t want her to get in trouble because of me.”

  “That’s at least good to know.”

  “I’m a good girl, Jackson.”

  “Actually, I think you like to be naughty, Rebecca.”

  “Being good all the time can be very overrated.”

  Jackson pulled up outside a zoo, and she frowned. “A zoo? You’re taking me to a zoo?”

  “I figured it would be fun, and I know they have a kickass picnic area. Deer roam freely, and I happen to like it here.”

  They climbed out, and Jackson got their tickets. Folding her arms, she looked around at all the passing families. She had never been to a zoo. Her parents had always been too busy to bring her. Jackson came back to her. “Let’s go and check everything out, and then we can have lunch in a couple of hours.”

  “I like that.” Linking her arm through his, they entered the main resort. “I’ve never been to a zoo.”

  “Yeah, Bella let it slip that you hadn’t been. I wanted to do something special. Your parents never brought you here?” he asked.

  “Well, my nanny hated animals, and she felt I could enjoy the mall a lot more than a bunch of stinking animals. Our days out usually consisted of different malls. It was okay, if you like that kind of thing, I guess.”

  “I brought Bella here whenever she needed to forget about all of her troubles. I don’t know what it was, but it seemed to relax her here.”

  “You’re a good father, Jackson.”

  “Thank you. I’ve also been told I’m pretty good in the bedroom as well.”

  She laughed, sighing, and pressing her head against his shoulder. This was perfect. Just being around him made her feel so happy.

  Staring right in front of her, she saw a man holding a baby as he leaned down to kiss his woman, who was holding a little girl. They were the perfect family, and she saw the love on his face and on the woman’s face. What would it be like to be totally in love with one another that everything else failed to matter? She wouldn’t have to care about her parents or the restaurant.

  Did she want to be a mother?

  “Do you want kids?” she asked.

  “I’ve got a very adult kid.”

  “I know, silly. Did you want more kids?”

  “I wanted loads of them, Rebecca. A whole house full of them. I wanted to be a family man, and instead I got a girl and a business.”

  She heard the sadness in his voice. “Would you consider having more kids?”

  “Rebecca?”

  “No, you don’t have to answer right away. It’s … nothing. Forget I ever said anything. I’m just crazy. It’s all the marriage talk, and settling down that my parents were telling me last night. Ignore me.”

  ****

  Jackson couldn’t just ignore her though. After they had gone to see the different species of animals, and Rebecca had pretty much crawled up his body over the spiders, he grabbed the picnic, and found a table by the lake.

  He paused to watch her as she stared at the live deer drinking from the lake.

  “They are beautiful,” she said. “So innocent and pure.”

  No one approached the deer, and there was even a sign that asked for you to stay away. He set up their table instead, taking out the boxes of food that he had gotten from a deli Alaric had recommended.

  Rebecca tucked some hair that had escaped her ponytail, and joined him.

  Kids.

  She wanted them.

  He heard the yearning in her voice, and it saddened him that she might not want them with him.

  Why can’t you have kids?

  You’re still able.

  You still want a big family.

  He was approaching fifty. Was that a good thing to be having kids at that age? By the time he was seventy they would be twenty.

  “I want kids,” he said, drawing her attention again. “I do. My age.”

  “Men are having kids that are seventy.”

  “They’re rock stars.”

  She gave him that teasing smile, which held a twinkle in her eye. “You’re telling me that you’re not a rock star?”

  “Ha, ha. You know what I mean.”

  “It’s never too late to dream, and to find that dream, Jackson. You wouldn’t tell Bella to stop. I don’t see why you would do the same for yourself.” She reached for a cartoon of noodles and took a bite. “Wow, those are spicy,” she said, taking another mouthful. “They’re so good.” She twirled some on her fork, and held it out to him. He took the offered bite, and moaned. They really were flavorful and so good. “Told you.”

  “Do you see yourself being married?” he asked.

  “I don’t know. I see that there has to be a future, right? I can’t live my life pretending something wasn’t going to happen.” She sighed. “This is all depressing. Do people still get married really young?”

  “I don’t know. I was young when I got married, and Alaric is going to propose to Bella.”

  “Get out!” She placed her hands on the table. “Seriously?”

  “Yes. You can’t tell Bella. She will know when the time is right.”

  “I’m totally being the maid of honor.” Rebecca opened another pot that had some grilled chicken, and she took a bite. He loved watching her eat. She savored every bite, and the moans coming from her mouth made him think of other more delightful things.

  “You really do love your food.”

  “I do.” Her cheeks heated.

  “Please don’t be worried by that. I like watching you eat. It’s good to see you eat.”

  “I’m blushing right now.” She pressed her hands to her cheeks. “Sorry. I think food just means a great deal, you know. I made Bella some chocolate chip cookies, and she promised to be my friend for life. Food has a way of saying sorry, and being welcoming, and just everything that you can love about food, you know?”

  “Speaking of love. Why don’t you tell me about how you’d like your dream kitchen in your restaurant or diner?” Work had already begun on the old café he had purchased. Ben had put a rush on it for him, and Jackson had gone out of his way to get the people in to do the work as fast as possible.

  He gave her a little notebook to draw. She told him everything, designing it as best she could. The animated look on her face let him know he was doing the right thing.

  After an hour, she was finished, and he had all the notes that he would nee
d.

  “Don’t I bore you?” she asked.

  “Not at all. I love listening to you speak.”

  “What are you going to do about that modeling place? Bella told me that you bought it for her?”

  “Yeah, I’ve already got plans to give it to Alaric. I think he could do something better with it than I could. I’ve already spoken to the original owner, and she’s happy with what Alaric wants.”

  “Why? She sold it. She shouldn’t really have any say, should she?”

  “Well, no, but I find in this ever-changing business, it’s better to be respectful than it is to crush them. For as much as you can crush someone and watch them fall, when they get back up, they tend to do so with revenge.”

  She took a piece of carrot and began to chew. “Is that what happened to you?”

  “In the beginning, I made a lot of mistakes. I stumbled just like everyone else. Business is cutthroat. It’s dangerous, and it can bite you in the ass at every turn. You do not want to be making enemies in a market that thrives seeing people fall.”

  “You’re a good man, Jackson.”

  “Is that what you always had a crush on?”

  She chuckled. “No. You were just a hot older guy that I liked. Still do.”

  “I like you, too, Rebecca. You have proven to me time and time again that I can be wrong about people.”

  “You thought I was a no-good troublemaker.”

  “You are a troublemaker. What I was wrong about, and I learned my mistake years ago, was I thought you were the kind of person who didn’t own up to their mistakes. You do, and that I respect. If Bella got in trouble, you were right there.”

  “Maybe I just wanted a spank.” She winked at him.

  “That’s not it at all. You were a nice person, Rebecca. Still are.” It was a shame that her parents didn’t see what a good person she was inside and out.

  Just then the sky went dark, and Jackson groaned.

  “It looks like that rain they forecast is about to come true,” Rebecca said.

  “I didn’t check the weather.”

  “You didn’t check the weather?”

  “Didn’t think it was necessary,” he said with a chuckle.

  They packed up the picnic basket, and then hand in hand, rushed out of the picnic area just as it was starting to rain.

  He held Rebecca’s hand tighter as they ran toward his car. Opening the car, he threw the basket into the back, and climbed in beside her. The front windows steamed up, and she was laughing, wringing out her hair.

  “Wow,” she said. “They did warn it could be a quick downpour.”

  “Let’s head over to my place.”

  He worked his way out of the zoo parking lot, and was on the road toward his country home. The heaters were on, and by the time he made it home, the rain had subsided.

  Climbing out of the car, he grabbed her hand, and together they went inside his home.

  Once inside, he took her straight upstairs to his en suite bathroom.

  “Let’s get out of these wet clothes,” he said.

  They were both shivering. Removing their clothes, he climbed into the shower, taking her with him. The water was warm, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her close.

  “I love it when your arms are around me,” she said.

  “It’s funny, I like having you in my arms.” He leaned down, and pressed a kiss to her lips.

  She moaned and tilted her head back. He couldn’t resist, and he pressed another kiss to her lips.

  Running his hands down her back, he gripped her ass and pulled her closer. His cock was rock hard, but he didn’t want to just fuck her. He wanted to kiss her mouth, and memorize every little response that she gave him. Releasing one of her ass cheeks, he cupped her face, tilting her head back so that he could deepen the kiss.

  Kissing her, making love, fucking her, it was never enough, and he always felt like each moment could be their last.

  Pressing her up against the stall of the shower, he nibbled her lip, as she locked her leg over his hip.

  Running the hand on her face down, he cupped her pussy and began to stroke her swollen clit.

  She gasped, pulling away, and glancing down at where he was touching her. He was driving her wild, and he loved that he was doing that. Smiling, he went further down, pressing a finger into her pussy, watching as her head fell back, and she arched up into his touch.

  “Do you want this, baby? You want me to fuck you?”

  “Yes. Yes, I do.”

  Taking her down to the shower stall, he put her on her knees, gripped his cock, and filled her pussy. Lifting her up with an arm around her waist, he pressed a kiss to her neck. “I’m never going to get enough of you. You drive me wild, so fucking wild.” He began to pump inside her, knowing that he wasn’t going to last.

  Sliding a hand between her thighs, he teased her clit, bringing her off on his cock, and he joined her seconds later.

  It was quick, fast, and fucking wonderful.

  Rebecca was only making him want her more.

  He didn’t know if it was ever going to be possible to let her go.

  Chapter Seven

  Wearing Jackson’s black robe, Rebecca looked at his abundant bookcases. Some were fiction books, but most of them were business books. Just looking at the titles was enough to make her sleepy.

  She sipped at her wine, and walked down the length of the room while Jackson finished his phone call. She wasn’t paying attention to what he was saying as it was difficult to understand his business terms.

  Some firm felt that he had abused his position over something or other. All business lingo, and all boring.

  Taking a seat on the sofa, she took another long sip of her wine, and watched him work. They had only just finished having sex in the shower when his phone had rung. He’d told her it was his business line, so he had to take it.

  Humming to herself, she found that she was bored.

  Jackson didn’t seem to be finishing any time soon, and she released a breath. Glancing over at him, she saw that he was clicking away at his computer while balancing the phone between his shoulder and ear. He looked so focused, and she was bored.

  Getting up from her seat, she opened the bathrobe. If she hadn’t realized how important the call was, she might have been a bit embarrassed that he didn’t even look her way.

  Hands on hips, she stared at him.

  Nope.

  He was completely focused on his work.

  She was bored.

  Would he be angry if she tried to distract him?

  Seeing no harm in it, she walked up to the desk, and only when she placed her hands on the edge, and leaned in a little did he pay attention.

  He seemed to jerk to life, and it kept every single ounce of control not to burst out laughing right there and then. Instead, she kept the smile to herself.

  Jackson kept on talking, and only now did he seem a little distracted.

  “Yeah, I’m listening. What you need to do is send over the financial reports…”

  Rounding his desk, she waited for him to ease out his desk chair, and then she sank to her knees before him. Untying his belt, she let the robe fall open.

  His cock was already long, thick, with pre-cum leaking out of the tip.

  Wrapping her fingers around the base of the shaft, she licked the path of the vein, closing her eyes as she tasted his pre-cum.

  Ignoring the phone call, she focused on his cock, taking the tip into her mouth, and licking it clean. She moaned as she bobbed her head on the tip before taking him right to the back of her throat.

  She heard him hiss, and smiled. It was fun driving him crazy.

  Pulling off his cock, she held the shaft as she licked down. She took him back into her mouth, and went to the point that she was going to gag. She did that multiple times, seeming to take him a little deeper as she did.

  “Fuck, I can’t talk right now. I’ve got to go. I’ve got some very important business,” he
said.

  She heard the phone slam, and released his cock.

  “You didn’t have to stop.”

  “I’d done most of the hard work. A baby could do it in their sleep.”

  She smiled. “I think you’re lying, and you just couldn’t handle two things at once. I think I read a paper on that. Men can’t do two things at once.”

  “I’ll have you know we can.”

  “Really?”

  “I’ve licked your pussy, and played with my cock,” he said, and she smiled.

  “I don’t think they included that in their little tests.”

  “Well, they should.” He wrapped her hair around his wrist, and she took his cock back into her mouth.

  Moaning, she began to suck him hard, building up a pace that she knew was driving him insane.

  “I love seeing your mouth wide around my cock. Your lips wet with saliva.”

  She pulled off his cock, wrapping her fingers around his length, and masturbating as she watched his reaction.

  Taking him back into her mouth, she kept her eyes on him as she took him as deeply as she could.

  Jackson took over, using the control of his hand in her hair to take more of him within her mouth.

  She moaned, loving the control that he exerted over her. Jackson was as much a taker as he was a giver, and she loved that about him.

  “Oh, fuck, I’m going to come, baby.” Neither of them could resist the other for long.

  She didn’t stop, sucking his cock as he filled her mouth with his cum. She swallowed it down, licking her lips after she had taken the final drop.

  Getting to her feet, she was about to go, when he caught her hip and eased her back on the table. “I think it’s only fair that I return the favor.”

  She wasn’t going to deny him, especially when he swirled his tongue around her clit. She loved his tongue, and right now she was in heaven.

  Rebecca didn’t want this to end. The crush that she had on Jackson was no longer just a crush. She was in love with him, and it hadn’t just started either. The way he made her feel, it was what she’d felt when she was younger, only now it was deeper and harder to ignore.

  She loved him. There was no denying it, and she didn’t get it.

  Weren’t girls supposed to fall out of love with their crushes years ago? She didn’t know, and right now she was terrified. Jackson was constantly asking her about her future, and she only saw him. He was the one thing she looked forward to more than anything. What would she do if he got bored? If he left her? If it was just some fun?
