Now Boydreallywanted to masturbate. He took his phone with him into the bathroom, where he stripped for his shower and took several pictures to send to Caleb later.
Yeah, I’m not a nice man at alllll.
Then he stood in the shower and jerked his cock, wishing he had Caleb kneeling in front of him to lick and suck it for him. He took his time, stopping so he could actually shower before starting again, finally stroking himself to completion. After he came he leaned against the shower wall to catch his breath.
He hadn’t felt this horny in…years.
Not even Kent’s parties had ever left him feeling like this. Horny…and satisfied at the same time.
Because for the first time, he finally had someone in his life he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, and whom he was reasonably sure wanted to spend the rest of their life with him.

Ella looked exhausted when she returned that evening.
“Okay, tell me now,” Boyd said, “because I won’t let it drop.”
She dumped her lunch container into the sink. “As soon as I got there, he was waiting for me in the parking garage and started harassing me. Fortunately, two other nurses were there and basically told him to go fuck himself. All three of us reported it to Ms. Calgary as soon as she arrived at work at nine.”
“What are they going to do about it? And did you play the voice mail for her?”
She nodded, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned against the counter. “She indicated he’s going to get terminated. Technically she wasn’t supposed to tell me that, I guess, but just like she hinted around at filing a lawsuit.”
“You rethinking that? Because it means you could move and not worry.”
“It wouldn’t pay out in time to pay my bills right now. I just want to do my job and be left alone. He doesn’t want to be part of my baby’s life, fine, but he doesn’t need to be a dick.”
“Well, he is a Richard. Maybe he should be called Dick instead of Rick.”
Finally, the ghost of a smile. She leaned in and hugged him. “Thanks for cooking, Dad. Do I have time for a shower?”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
He watched her leave the kitchen and wondered how difficult it’d be to hire a hit man and get away with it.
And was only a little bit serious.
Maybe.

Boyd insisted on driving Ella to work Wednesday morning, dropping her off at the ER entrance. He didn’t want the asshole to have a chance to harass her.
“Promise to call me if he starts something.”
“I’ll call security first, but yeah.”
What he didn’t tell her was he planned to set up in the coffeeshop so he couldbethere for her.
Just after ten thirty, she called him in tears. “They just fired him,” she said.
“What happened? Are you all right?”
“He cornered me in a supply room on the ward. I thought he was going to hit me and I screamed. Several people came running, and security dragged him out.”
Relieved, Boyd leaned back in his seat. “You don’t leave the building until I get there, hear me?”
“No worries about that, Dad.” She sniffled. “Thanks for driving me today.”
