Rhett
4 months later
I’d been a son of a bitch for the last several months. Growling or outright yelling at pretty much anyone who approached me. Being sexually frustrated did that to a guy. And ever since the night I walked Charlotte through that fantasy, she’d been avoiding me. She still read my texts but never responded. And she’d been extremely careful not to be caught alone with me in a place where I could seduce her.
Unfortunately, my irritability had exacerbated my jealousy, and I’d been a dick to just about every man who came within five feet of my woman. Which earned me more glares and silent treatments from her.
It was time to step up the game. Because if she didn’t let me catch her soon, I was going to snap and kidnap her sexy ass.
A squeal from the outer office caught my attention, and I raised my eyebrows in shock to see Lois practically falling all over herself to get around her desk. When she was finally free, she ran over to a woman who was holding a baby. Lois grabbed up the little cherub, and the woman laughed...the sound was familiar. I stood and walked closer to the window to get a better look.
Green eyes.
Cherub face.
Rosebud mouth.
Long, straight copper hair.
She was the spitting image of my Charlotte with the exception of straight hair and her eyes were a little more jade than emerald.
This had to be one of her sisters.
My gaze strayed to the redheaded baby Lois was cooing to, and I smiled with excitement. Our daughter would likely share many features with the little girl. If she looked like her mother, I was going to be in trouble when she was old enough for boys to notice her. But I couldn’t help hoping to have a couple of little Charlottes running around.
The redhead who resembled Charlotte looked up as if she sensed my gaze and smiled at my nod of greeting. Then I walked the three steps to my door and exited my office. “Hello, I’m Rhett Whitney. You must be one of Charlotte’s sisters,” I said in greeting as I strode up to her.
“London,” she replied in an odd tone. She shook my hand and watched me curiously. “You’re Charlie’s boss?”
“Guilty,” I answered. “Charlotte is one of my brightest stars.”
London cocked her head to the side and gave me a crooked smile. “Charlotte?”
I shrugged and chuckled. “I’ve just never seen her as a Charlie.”
Her smile grew into a wide grin. “The right man wouldn’t,” she mused cryptically.
My eyes strayed to the beautiful little girl and I asked, “And who’s this little beauty?”
“Kaya.”
Kaya gurgled happily, and I tickled her little tummy, making her squirm and giggle. She reached her cute arms out to me, and I asked London, “May I?”
London looked back and forth between us for a second, seeming surprised at her daughter’s interest in me. “Of course. She seems to like you.”
I scooped Kaya into my arms, ignoring Lois’s grumbles, and stared into beautiful, bright green eyes. My body began to sway naturally as I made funny faces at her and enjoyed her sweet little sounds. It wasn’t long before her eyes drooped, and she was asleep. I looked up at London for guidance on what to do next, and she was gaping at me. “What? Did I do something wrong?”
She shook her head, and a new voice entered the conversation from behind me. “Hey, sis. Ready to go? Wait, where’s Kaya? You didn’t bring my favorite little person?”
Charlotte stepped up to our trio, frowning at London, who then pointed at me. I wasn’t paying too much attention as I placed a kiss on Kaya’s fuzzy head. Damn, she was adorable.
“Rhett, what are you—hey, I thought I was the only one besides you and Liam who could get her to go to sleep.” I glanced up to see her watching me with mock annoyance, but her green eyes were soft.
I would have wanted to hold Kaya either way, but I silently said a thank you to the little girl and promised her a pony for setting up this little interaction. Now Charlotte would be picturing me with our own child. That’s right, baby, I thought smugly. Drink it in.
That was one of the few times she’d ever called me Rhett and damn it all to fucking hell. It was hot as shit. I actually felt a little guilty about the growing situation in my pants while holding an innocent little baby.
After a minute of all three women staring at me, it started to feel a little awkward. “Um…”
London snapped out of it first and laughed as she crossed over to gently take Kaya from my arms.
“Charlotte,” I said in a low, husky tone. “A word in my office, please?”
Suddenly, she looked like deer in headlights. “We’ve really got to go…”
“Now.” I didn’t wait for another excuse as I pivoted on my heel and marched back to my office. Once inside, I turned to make sure she’d followed me and gestured for her to enter. She crossed the threshold with a wary look, and I couldn’t help the wolfish smile that stole across my face.
As soon as she was in, I shut the door, turned the lock, and grabbed her hand as she tried to scurry away. I pulled her over to me and crowded her up against the door with my hands on her hips. “Did you enjoy that little glimpse into your future, baby?” I teased as I slipped one hand down until I reached the hem of her skirt and caressed her naked leg beneath it. “I can’t wait to see you big and round with our babies,” I murmured before I crushed my mouth over hers.
Charlotte moaned, and her hands locked behind my neck. Fuck, she tasted so amazing. I couldn’t get enough of kissing her. But I was hungry for a taste of her pussy, and the starvation was getting to me.
My hand crawled up
