82. Falling for Him
When morning arrived Charlotte was snuggling closer under the cover. She hummed softly when Seamus kissed her temple. “Morning, precious. How are you feeling today?”
“Hmm… tired, happy, need you to stay with me. In bed. Like all day. What time is it?”
“Almost nine,” Seamus said, checking his phone and cuddling her closer. “I’ll get my assistant to clear my schedule. Are you off today? I was thinking we could have a lazy morning, maybe have breakfast in bed.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“I could be, I’m still thinking about what you said. I need to talk to Gage if I’m going to quit. I need to know that Jojo is going to survive without me helping her with the administration work at Babes.”
Seamus lay in bed, watching Charlotte blabber about her situation. Her face showed that she was seriously contemplating her decision. He was happy that she was considering quitting her job. He got up from the bed and kissed her forehead. “I’m going to get our breakfast, Marjorie should have something set up for us already.”
Charlotte hummed. “That sounds perfect.” The second he was out the door she hurried into the bathroom to empty her bladder and then brush her teeth. She dived back under the covers, as soon as she was done.
As Charlotte gets herself comfortable, her mind was wondering how he gets her. They had only been intimate for a short period of time, but she already knew that she wanted to spend more time with him. The man was smart and intimidating at the same time, she remembered when he was back from New York. How he got hurt and how she found out that he had “take care” of Yanis. Knowing so, strangely she was not scared of him.
Though she worried about how he wanted to take care of her by being her Daddy, Charlotte wanted to try, God… after last night, she wanted to try. Badly.
They spent the next hour curled up in bed, eating waffles and having their first cup of coffee of the day. They chatted about their favorite music and movies. Seamus couldn’t help but appreciate how easy it was to talk to Charlotte. They seemed to have so much in common, and he loved the way she laughed at his jokes. He didn’t even realize that his jokes were even that funny.
As they finished their breakfast, Seamus took a deep breath. “Charlotte, baby,” he said, reaching for her hand. “Now, since we both have the day off, how about we go somewhere? is there anywhere you’d like to go?”
“Why? Your bed is sooo comfortable.” Charlotte finished her coffee and set the cup aside. She rested her other hand on his neck and pulled him close for a kiss.
“I know,” he laughed softly and kissed her back. “But, we will need to get out of bed at some stage. And I’d really want to take you out on another date.”
“Um, how about going to the bookstore and then catching a movie.” Charlotte seriously didn’t want to get out of bed, but she knew that he was right. They could probably cuddle for another hour or maybe two, then they’d be bored.
“Get lunch in between, then coffee?” Seamus added.
Charlotte looked up at him, her eyes bright with happiness. “That sounds wonderful.” She liked how they agreed easily and made a simple plan to spend the day. Charlotte knows that it’ll be a great day already since she was going to spend it with him.
Seamus hadn’t felt this excited to spend the day with a woman before. For a long time, he had given up on relationships, thinking he was too busy for women. With his line of work and women who were too demanding of his time, it was easier for him to just have one-night stands. Relationships had been too much work for him, but everything changes the moment he lays his eyes on Charlotte.
Today was it, he thought. Today was the perfect time to spend the day together, and after last night, he wanted them to try another level of intimacy, not just in the bedroom. “Great,” Seamus uttered, trying to keep his voice relaxed. “We can get to know each other better. We can talk about last night. What do you think about our first time?”
Charlotte giggled. “Are you fishing for compliments?”
“I know I did good last night, but hearing you say so, will stroke my ego and boost my morning vibe. Significantly.” He boasted and she laughed. Seamus felt a huge grin spread across his face as he leaned in to kiss her.
“Okay then, mister-I-know-I-did-good-last-night, how about we take a sexy shower before we start our date?”
“Hmm… a sexy shower does sound nice.” He kissed her and she yelped when he grabbed and lifted her on his shoulder, caveman style. One hour later after lots of kisses and sexy touches, he painted her back with his cum and he gave her another great orgasm. She was squeaky clean, relaxed, and ready to start their date.
Charlotte didn’t think she’d missed going to the bookstore. It had been so long since she went to one, she used to love going to the bookstore with her mom. But then her mom got sick and everything was forgotten. Charlotte didn’t even have the drive to read. And the moment she saw all those pretty books, she couldn’t help but feel like she wanted to start reading again.
She could feel his arms around her waist as Seamus was to her back and kissed her head. “Find anything you like?”
“Maybe, I need my dose of psychopath along with my sexy romance books. How about you?”
“I still have my TBR pile on my Kindle, lots of them. I’m going to skip buying it for now. But I’m going to help you carry yours?” He offered. Charlotte couldn’t help herself to swoon at his sweet gesture.
“Aww… are you trying to win some brownie points with me?”
“Precious, brownie points are definitely not my goals. This is me taking care of you, baby.”
His voice dropped low and she couldn’t help but let out a soft whimper in the middle of the bookstore. He smirked deviously before kissing her cheek and left her to browse more books while she ponders his words. Yeah, Charlotte was losing her concentration, so she decided to pick up a few books from the best-seller shelf and be done with it.
Charlotte decided to skip the movies, since being in the dark with mischievous Seamus was the last situation she wanted to be in. The man laughed knowing her reasons, and he took her straight for lunch at the nearby restaurant instead. They had the perfect lunch date accompanied by good wine and great steaks. The conversation flowed easily and Charlotte had a great time with Seamus. As they sipped their wine and chatted, Seamus felt a sense of contentment washing over him.
“Charlotte,” Seamus started, thinking he needed to broach the subject and fill her in on her dad’s case. “I know this might be a little sudden, but there’s something else I wanted to talk to you about.”
Charlotte looked at him, her expression curious. “What is it?” she asked.
Seamus had just read the email from his lawyer that morning, he needed to meet with them. Preferably sooner than later. It was urgent, and he didn’t want to miss the window or the opportunity.
“Well, it’s regarding your father,” Seamus said, he took a deep breath and continued, “As you know, I have been working with my lawyers. They have taken a look at your dad’s case, investigating mostly. This morning I just received an email from them. It seemed that the judge that was assigned to your dad’s case was taking bribes, and we think his taking bribes for your dad’s case too. Also, my team of lawyers thinks that there might be a bigger player tangled in his case.”
Charlotte’s eyes lit up, but then quickly frowned. “Oh God, I know my dad is innocent, and now, I don’t know how I can help him.”
“I will help, baby. I have started the investigation a couple of days after you arrived. As I said, your dad is a good man. I do believe from the start that he was innocent.”
As Seamus started explaining, Charlotte felt a sense of anticipation building within her. Her world had just exploded and the possibility that she might get her dad freed made her so happy that her heart just sinks further. At that moment looking at the handsome man in front of her, she knew that she was falling for him. Charlotte trusted her instincts and she was going to let herself fall and think about everything else later.
