Page 29 of Hooked on the Otter Doctor
Floating again and feeling incredibly lazy, I started talking so that I wouldn’t fall asleep. “How’s the school coming along?”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
I snorted. “I saw you checking in after breakfast. It’s either India, China, or the school. I picked the school.”
“Well, you’re right.” He kissed the top of my head. “They broke ground this morning and everything’s progressing very well.”
I patted his hands on my chest. Of course everything was going well. Ireland had been thrilled to host a new school to train people from all over the world on how to manufacture the nanobots. When it was finished, an entirely new career would be available to thousands of people and humans would be one step closer to controlling our own health and wellness. Those vocal few who’d claimed the Norlons could take the nanobots away from us soon wouldn’t have anything to screech about.
“China and India are also coming along nicely,” Halaby said a bit sheepishly.
I chuckled at him. “I’m sure they are.”
He wasn’t supposed to be worrying about the real world for these two weeks of our vacation, but I knew he couldn’t help himself. Ever since he’d quit being ship’s doctor last year, he’d been so much happier in his work. Some people tried to say he was like that because of me, but I knew how much he loved his job. Even with his new assistant, Efia, who could delegate work like a boss, Halaby still couldn’t resist taking care of everyone and everything around him. Now that he was less stressed, it was a really adorable quality in my opinion.
“India agreed to seventeen more distribution centers,” he said proudly.
“Fantastic! I knew you’d convince them.” They’d only wanted them in the major cities, but Halaby’s team had been working on getting centers in the more rural areas, too.
“And China’s first centers will open in two weeks.”
“Do you want to go?”
“Oh. Well…”
I smiled and rolled over so we were chest to chest. “I’m happy for you to go.”
“Only if you go with me.”
“Of course! I’d love to go to China with you.” I scooted up and kissed him. “I’ll go wherever you go.”
“Then we should also visit India and Ireland.”
I laughed at him, and Halaby poked me in the sides to make me flinch and laugh more.
“I’m not the only one doing business on vacation,” he said with an arched brow. “How did the sale go, hmm?”
“Okay, yes, I did ask Pabbi how it went, but it was a couple of texts and some celebratory gifs. I didn’t look at a single spreadsheet.”
He poked me again. “And?”
“We got enough for a twenty percent profit,” I said with somepride. “The next batch should earn even more. We’re going to do just fine.”
Ever since Pabbi embraced change last year, he’d been advocating aquaculture to those who’d been as stuck in the past as him. No one tried to trawl the harbor anymore and a few of the people who’d left Svalnorland had returned. And my father, who couldn’t be bothered with the internet for anything, was now making videos where he interviewed workers at the farm to understand every little thing they did and share it with the masses like a reporter on a mission. I swore the recognition of his work there had been what drove our profit. He said it was just good business to raise everyone up.
“Congratulations on the sale.” Halaby pulled me in and kissed me like he meant it to praise our achievement, but that didn’t last long. His wily tongue soon had me rocking my hips against his stomach.
“I want you again,” he whispered against my lips.
I grinned at him. “Let’s go inside.”
He hugged me against him and put his feet down as I wrapped my legs around his waist. I probably hadn’t walked under my own power once between the lagoon and our bungalow, but I wasn’t complaining. That Halaby could so easily tote me around was a wonderful thing.
He set me down on our little porch and set about unfurling the drapes. They were gauzy panels that moved in the breeze, so it was hardly concealing, but we did make an effort. Sometimes. While he did that, I dropped my trunks and decided I wanted to blow him. “Sit there,” I directed when he was done with the drapes.
Halaby shoved down his Speedos, and I got them the rest of the way off him as he sat down with a smirk on his face. Kneeling between his spread thighs, I took a moment to admire his upthrust cock with all of its stimulating ridges. I leaned in and slowly licked up the peach-colored length of him, earning a moanfrom him and his hand resting on the back of my neck. He tasted like the saltwater behind us and smelled like his own delicious musk. Closing my eyes, I gave myself over to sucking him deeper and deeper into my mouth.
I loved doing this for him. I’d thought I was pretty decent at it before, I got the job done and whatever. But with Halaby… Everything about having his cock in my mouth turned me on. And then that was amplified even more by the low sounds he made and the tiny prick of his claws on my skin. The way the ridges circling his cock bumped across my lips had me moaning because they made me so sensitive. My own cock hung stiff and heavy between my legs, and I couldn’t help humping the air when Halaby started rhythmically pulling on my hair.
