Lying in bed next to Quinn, she is peacefully asleep. It is barely light out, and I hope I don’t wake her, but my phone has been going off nonstop. My dad seems to be on a new level of craziness, now that I decided to stay in Denver for a few extra days. He doesn’t understand why and for some reason needs to know. He just keeps saying that we have so much work to do and he needs me back at the office.

As I respond to his last text, I want to tell him to go fuck himself…but I don’t. I’ll be back later on tonight; there’s nothing that can’t wait until then.

He doesn’t respond and looking at Quinn, she is so beautiful. An email comes through from Suzy distracting me from watching her. It contains Quinn’s flight info for Friday, and I couldn’t be happier that she agreed to come and visit me. I respond to her and say thank you, then I forward it to Quinn. I can’t wait to have her in my bed. I’ll make true to my promise and tie her there all weekend if she wants.

Just as the sun begins to pop up over the horizon, I set my phone down, wanting to make the most of my last day with Quinn. Holding her body tightly, kissing the soft skin of her neck, she wakes slowly with a grin on her face, and when she looks at me like that, my heart melts.

“You sleep okay?” I ask her.

“Yeah, the best.”

“Good, baby,” I tell her and hold her body close to mine. She holds me back, her hands atop mine as we watch the sun crest the morning sky.

“Is this what you get to wake up to every day?”

Rolling over in my arms, she says to me, “It is.” and she kisses me. Holding on to the back of her head, I kiss her back. “I don’t want you to go,” she tells me. Hearing her say the words, lets me know that we are headed down the right path, it’s just gonna take baby steps to get there.

“I don’t want to leave.”

“Skip work next week and stay here with me.”

“Ha! I wish I could, beautiful, but my dad is already throwing a tantrum with me staying here longer.”

“Screw your dad. He sounds like a real asshole, you know that?”

“Oh, he is, but he’s the only father I got, and he holds the key to my future.”

“You should call into work, fly home with me, and let me tie you to my bed all week. I’d make you come so many times, you’d never want to leave.”

“If I miss work Monday, I’ll get fired. Remember the bribe I took so we could go to the Nuggets game? I still have work to do, and the client is coming tomorrow morning.”

“I guess neither of us can take the time off of work, so we’re just going to have to make the most out of the day.”

“That we are. What do you want to do?”

“Oh, that’s up to you. This is your city.”

She rolls me onto my back and lays her body along mine. “Let’s stay in and fuck.”

“Okay,” I agree, knowing that’s all I really want to do anyway. We get lost kissing one another, then a knock on her door stops us. She looks at me wide-eyed, and I have no clue what to do.

“Are you expecting someone?” I ask her, and she scurries to get dressed.

“No!” She shakes her head and then slams the door, charging out of the room. Curious to see who’s here and a little worried it could be her crazy ex, I get dressed and then reach for the door handle. A man’s voice stops me from proceeding, and I listen to his words. “You look fine, baby, don’t be silly. Do you want this in here?”

Rage consumes me, and I yank open the door, red-faced and on a mission to fuck up whoever is calling her “baby.”

“You’re up,” she looks at me with a smile, and I ignore her, stalking towards the fridge. The guy is bent over looking inside of it, and before I can get to him, she jumps in front of me and says, “Merritt, this is my dad, Karl. Daddy, this is, Merritt.”

Her dad turns around, clearly not expecting her to have company, much less a man. He’s on the defensive right away as he glares at me. After her last breakup, I understand; he doesn’t want to see her hurt again.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir,” I say, changing my attitude, and extend my hand to him. Reluctantly he shakes it.

“Is this the guy you told your mom about?” he asks her.

“Yes, Daddy. Merritt is one of the good ones, though, so go easy on him.”

“Ha!” he laughs far too loudly, and I’m a little offended. He doesn’t even know me.

“We’ll see about that. Have dinner with us tonight, would you, son?”

“I wish I could, sir, but I’m flying home to Texas.”

“Lunch, then?”

I glance at Quinn, and she nods, so I agree. Her father gives her a kiss on the cheek and me a stern look as he leaves her condo. “Wow!” I take a seat on the couch, and she sits next to me. “And I thought my old man was tough.”

“Stop it. He’s really very sweet; he’s just looking out for me. After my last breakup, I was a mess, and he and my mom were there for me.”

“I guess if I had a daughter and a guy fucked with her, I’d hate all men too.”

“See? So you get it. Now before we have to spend the day with my dad, will you fuck me again?”

“You’re a needy little thing, aren’t you?”

She nods, the cutest expression across her face, and I lift her t-shirt over her head. “What are you gonna do without me this week?”

“We could have phone sex?”

I like the idea and that she wants to talk to me during the week. But I don’t focus on it for long as I have her with me, my hands on her body, her eyes locked on mine, and her control relinquished over to me as I slide her panties down her sexy legs, loving her naked. And then I order her to do what I want.
