Page 55 of Her Daddies' Everything

“But not at midnight,” he added.

“I can’t sleep, though.”

He nodded. “Got some pills you can take?”

“Uh, yeah. But I don’t like how they zonk me out and it’s hard for me to wake up the next morning.” Well, even harder than usual. Because Immy wasn’t great at waking up under any circumstances.

“Anything else help?” he asked.

“What? Like an orgasm?” She slammed her hands over her mouth as soon as she said that. “Ididnotjustsaythat.”

To her shock, Tobias just grinned. “An orgasm can help.”

Immy shook her head and tried to slide off the countertop, but the darn man didn’t move. So, instead, she pulled herself back and attempted to climb off the other side of the island.

Only, before she could climb down, he was there, lifting her onto her feet.

“How did you move that quickly?”

He just shrugged. “Don’t be embarrassed.”

“Think that ship has sailed,” she grumbled. “It was nice meeting you, but if I see you again, please do not be offended if I hide in a bush or pretend I’m invisible. I’d really like that ability right now.”

His face softened with amusement and something else that she couldn’t figure out.

“Immy,” he said gently, reaching out to touch her arm.

“Is everything all right down here?”

She jumped, letting out a small cry as Jenner walked into the kitchen.

Oh. God.

Was she dreaming? She had to be, right? Because this could not be happening in real life.

On one side of her was Tobias. Strong. Big. Quiet. A man who she figured was used to taking control and getting his own way.

Jenner was like that too. He preferred to be in control, but maybe for other reasons. Because of his childhood. And she understood that.

Only she felt the opposite. Immy preferred not to have too much control. To not have to make too many decisions. They overwhelmed her easily and she got stressed. That’s why Jenner was always clear about her job and what tasks he wanted her to perform. It helped her to have clear instructions.

She glanced at Jenner. He was like the sun. Everywhere he went, the world lit up. People took notice. His smile instantly put people at ease. He could make you feel like you were special.

“Immy? What are you doing up? What are you both doing up?” he asked, eyeing Tobias.

Jenner was dressed in a pair of navy and white striped pajama bottoms.

And nothing else.

Lord. Be still her heart.

“I, uh, I couldn’t sleep.” She glanced down at her own pajamas. They were a pale pink with white bunnies on them.

Jeez. Why hadn’t she thought about what she was wearing before now? She didn’t even have a bra on.

She crossed her arms over her chest. It was one thing for Jenner and the others to see her in her pajamas. But she barely knew Tobias.

Well, having your boobs swinging around is probably the least of your worries.
