So Melody was a little distracted today? Good to know. Kawan grinned. He'd been distracted today too, hence the cutting out of his own job early to come and surprise Melody. He'd worked through lunch to get everything done and be able to leave faster.
"That's good to hear," he said.
The elevator doors opened and Lisa moved forward. "Right down here. I'll go in first and then you can follow me. I want to see her face!"
She practically skipped down the hall in front of him with infectious enthusiasm. Kawan had already been looking forward to surprising Melody; now he found himself grinning widely as he watched her friend come to a stop at one of the doors. Then, as she looked through the door's window into the room, her body stilled.
"That bastard," she muttered under her breath, jerking the door open.
Sensing something was wrong, Kawan immediately picked up his pace, coming through the door to see Melody standing stiffly with an older man next to her. The blank expression on her face combined with how closely the man was standing to her, invading her personal space, whipped up a fury inside of him although he didn't let it show. First he needed to know what was going on.
Then, if he needed to, he'd tear the man apart.
"Professor McCready, did you need help with something?" Lisa asked, her tone challenging.
"Just stopping by to say hello," McCready said, smiling without any hint of discomfort. Obviously he felt perfectly fine with the situation, even when he looked past Lisa and saw Kawan standing there. "And who is this?"
"Melody's boyfriend," Kawan said. A flicker of relief crossed her expression as he moved further into the room, coming up behind her. The professor stepped back, a small furrow appearing between his eyebrows when Kawan pulled Melody in for a quick kiss. Wrapping his arm around her, he maneuveredthem so that she was slightly behind him and he stood between her and the professor. "Hello, sweetheart."
"Hi um, D-dear," she stammered out. From the way she blushed, Kawan was fairly certain she'd almost called him Daddy, right in front of Lisa and the professor, which was a measure of how thrown off she was. By his presence, or by the professor's? Kawan didn't like the way the man was frowning at them. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to surprise you." He winked down at her. "And I didn't want to wait to see you."
Melody relaxed against him, snuggling into his side as a smile slowly spread her lips. She still looked a little worried though.
"Are you another student?" The professor asked in an almost aggressively haughty tone. Kawan was certain the other man hoped he was, because he was obviously looking to retain some sort of power in the situation.
Since Melody had never mentioned the man to him, Kawan wasn't entirely sure who the man was or what his problem was, but he could guess. He smiled at the professor, using what Sienna called his 'shark smile'—she'd seen him use it when meeting with the opposition. Lots of teeth and lots of intimidation, and it never reached his eyes.
"No, I'm a lawyer with Lambert, Urbanski, and Reed," he said silkily. "They brought me in to work on their civil cases. You know, suing institutions for things like unsafe work environments, preventable accidents, sexual harassment. That kind of thing."
The professor paled. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Lisa giving Melody a thumbs up and mouthing something to her. He couldn't be sure, but it looked like 'He's hot'. Well, he was happy Lisa approved.
"I ah, good. That's good." The professor stepped back, nodding his head up and down as he continued to back away. "Very good. I... good. It was nice speaking with you, Miss Williams. You're doing good work here."
Apparently realizing that he sounded like an idiot, the man managed a sickly smile before fleeing from Kawan’s hard gaze.

“So hot!”Lisa mouthed at Melody, putting the back of one hand to her forehead and acting like she was swooning. Melody's lips twitched, but she couldn't disagree.
Kawan had made Professor McCreepy run away with nothing more than a few words. Not that Melody had any proof of wrongdoing. He'd been standing way too closely to her but that wasn't something she could take to the school board. Close standing was creepy, but not actionable. Especially against a tenured professor.
Still, after the way he'd just run away, she had to hope that he'd be less of a creeper from now on. He'd definitely been intimidated by Kawan.
And ithadbeen really hot to watch Kawan go all lawyer on him.
Although, when Kawan turned his gaze on her, she winced a little as he frowned sternly. There was definitely some Daddy shining through there.
"Was that man harassing you?" he asked, his voice steely.
"Not exactly," Melody said with a sigh. "He's very careful to not cross the line into actual harassment. Well, at least with me." She looked over at Lisa, who shrugged in agreement.
"He's a total perv, but he's good at toeing the line and talking around things," Lisa agreed. "The fucker."
Melody snorted and even Kawan chuckled, relaxing slightly. "Well, tell me if he bothers either of you again. Or if you hear of him bothering someone else. I'd be perfectly happy to have a talk with him about appropriate behavior."
Leaning into him, Melody felt her pussy quiver. Yup. So hot.
He looked down at her and his gaze softened. "Go finish up your work so we can go home, baby girl."
"Yes... yes, okay," she said, barely managing to keep from saying 'yes, Daddy' to him. While Lisa was definitely becoming a friend, Melody was so not ready to out herself like that in front of the other woman. Who knew how she would react.
She just wanted to finish up her work and go home so that Kawan could be her Daddy all weekend. Melody was ready to explore.
