Chapter Six
Jameson
I never suspected that I would find love, but I did. The only problem was who I found it with. Audrey’s father was my best friend and my business partner, so it shouldn’t really have been that big of a surprise when he walked into my office and took in my half-buttoned shirt and pants hanging off my hips and Audrey’s disheveled state and knew what we were doing.
The punch he threw shouldn’t have been a surprise either, but it was.
“My daughter, Briggs, my fucking daughter!?” He was livid, the look in his eyes said he wanted to kill me and I understood his feelings because I felt them myself. I didn’t think I was good enough for Audrey, but I wanted to be, and I would be, no matter what.
“Daddy, don’t!” Audrey shot up off the couch to defend me, but I didn’t want her sticking up for me in front of her father. This was between him and I. I knew what I was doing when I called Audrey in here to fuck her. I knew her father would hear, and I wanted him to know. As strange as it was, I wanted him to know that I made his daughter happy, in more ways than one.
“Stay put, Princess. I’ve got to deal with this on my own.” I wiped at the blood that dripped from my lip. He had gotten me good, but not good enough.
“I told you, you could screw anyone here just not my fucking daughter, and what do you do?” Andy got in my face, his eyes blazing with uncontained rage.
We needed to get this shit settled because other employees were starting to take notice and I didn’t want any more attention drawn to the matter then there was.
“Keep it down, Andy…” I tried to calm his burning blood but I knew it was no use. I knew he was angry and that I would have to give him time to digest it all.
“We want to be together, Daddy… I mean, it’s not any different than you and Layla.” I shot Audrey a puzzled look, unsure of where she was going with this. Andy turned from me, facing his daughter instead.
“Do not comment on things you do not understand!” he growled, though I could see some embarrassment forming in his eyes.
Audrey rolled her eyes, “I’m an adult and I’ve liked Jameson for a while. You don’t need to approve of us being together, especially when you’re doing the same damn thing…” I liked the spunk and rebellious behavior that Audrey was giving off.
Andy clenched his fist, rubbing at the back of his head with his other hand. He looked to be caught up in some type of emotion.
“You knew I would hear you. You knew I would know. I didn’t have to find out like this… Listening you fucking my daughter in our office,” Andy snarled, looking between the two of us with disbelief.
“It’s more than sex, Andy. I want her on a level I’ve never wanted any other woman, and I tried to tell myself otherwise for the last three days. I can’t take back anything now, nor would I ever….” I confessed, my eyes meeting Audrey’s. I could see the understanding forming in her blue eyes. She knew I wanted her for more than just sex. I wanted her to want me, really want me. I wanted her to love me, like I knew I loved her.
“Wait, you love her?” Andy narrowed his eyes at me.
“I think so…” I didn’t stumble over my words. I spoke fluidly, like a man that knew what he wanted.
“This is…. There are no words… I do not approve of this, Audrey…” Andy pointed a finger at his daughter with disbelief in his features.
“You don’t have to approve. I’m an adult and I know it might seem wrong for Jameson and I to be together, but it really isn’t.” Audrey stood from the couch, coming to stand next to me. She wrapped an arm around my midsection making me feel more comfortable. We had been caught red handed, and now we would stand together as one, letting her father know how we both felt.
“Wrong isn’t the word I would use. How could you do this? With him….” Andy shook his head, taking a step back and out of the office. I hadn’t been anxious about telling him in three days because as soon as I touched Audrey, I knew I would have to tell him. I wanted her more than once and there was no going back.
“We’re going to be together, Andy…” I dared him to try and take her from me. There was nothing that could come between her and I, not if I was breathing. I wanted to get to know her better, delve deeper into her soul, and I wouldn’t be able to do that if he tried to ruin whatever it was we had before it started.
Andy took another step back until he was nearly out of the room. “She’s my daughter, Briggs, and at the end of the day that’s all that matters to me. You’ve got ten days to get your shit out of this office. Don’t speak to me or look at me. I’m completely disgusted with the both of you right now.”
Andy’s parting words should’ve been a kick to the balls for me but they weren’t. Not when I still had the girl.
“We have to make this right….” Audrey spoke softly, clinging to my side. I smoothed my hand down her back in a soothing manner.
“We will, Princess, but first we have to give him time to digest it, because you see, I’m not just going to let you go now…. And no one is going to stand in the way of what I want and need, not even your daddy.” I was determined to make Audrey mine, even if her father didn’t want us to be together.
