Chapter 15

It had been a long time since he’d had someone who understood computers well enough to make a suggestion for how he could improve something. The algorithm had been an insightful idea. He should have thought of it.

Diving into the mechanics, Magnus tuned out the majority of the sweet giggles and entertaining music as the Littles enjoyed the movie he’d downloaded for them. He monitored their safety and enjoyment while diving into Juni’s suggestion.

Plugging in all the information they knew, along with the area”s geography, he watched the computer churn for a few seconds before returning a report. He pushed back his chair as he saw the results before him. Searching through the schedule of resort guest offerings, he discovered that Caesar was currently on a break from scuba experiences.

Magnus picked up the phone and called him. “Caesar, where are you?”

“The crew and I are cruising the coastline, looking for any hint of caves. Some of these guys have lived in the area all their lives. They remember hearing tales passed down through their families. We’ve found a few places along the coastline that look deeper than others but nothing that screams cave,” Caesar reported.

“Got time to head to these coordinates?” Magnus asked, rattling off some numbers.

“We’re close to that last one. I’m changing course to see what we find.”

“Call me when you get there,” Magnus said.

“Will do.”

Magnus kept working, trying to improve the computer’s suggestions. He felt the women at his back before he turned. “Little girls? Why aren’t you watching the movie?”

“When we have our own pirates’ treasure here? Who can concentrate on a dancing cat?” Celeste said.

“We can finish watching it later,” Zara suggested.

“Has Caesar found anything?” Juniper asked before pointing to a dark area on the map the computer had produced. “What’s that?”

“Maybe nothing. Caesar’s heading there to investigate,” Magnus said. As a few minutes passed by, he watched the trio become restless. “Want to pull up chairs to join me, or would you rather go back to your movie, and I’ll let you know if something happens?”

Immediately, the Littles darted to the table to tug their dinner chairs up to the computers. Magnus stood and helped them move into place to his left so he could still maneuver. A picture filled the screen as Caesar filmed the coast.

Magnus could hear each Little’s breath catch in their throats as they waited to see what he found. Juni crossed her fingers, and the other two quickly followed. As he searched, Magnus saw Juni stand and lean forward, pointing to one section of the land.

“There, by that pile of rock,” she urged.

Quickly, he magnified the picture before him and typed a message to Caesar.

Focus on the stony formation at the tip of the land.

The camera dipped down to show a darker section of water below the waterline. The picture bobbled, and Caesar came into view as he approached the vessel”s railing.

“He’s passed the camera to someone else. What’s he doing?” Zara asked.

A moment later, Caesar pulled his T-shirt over his head and tossed it aside. Swinging the gate open on the railing, he dove smoothly into the water as gasps filled the room. He disappeared under the surface of the water.

Feeling the tension grow in the room as seconds passed by without any sign of Caesar resurfacing, Magnus assured the Littles, “He’s part dolphin. He’s trained to stay under the water for a long time.”

“Even dolphins have to breathe,” Celeste said as she stood, pushing her chair back.

“Trust Caesar. He knows his limits,” Magnus told them as he felt Juni’s hand slide over his on the keyboard.

Caesar”s head emerged without a single droplet being disturbed on the surface of the water. He gave them a thumbs up and swam with strong, controlled strokes that ate up the distance. Hauling himself back onto the deck, he wiped the water from his face and held his hand out for the phone.

Pressing a few buttons, Caesar connected with them on audio. “There’s a tunnel down there. I would bet my favorite swim fins that it’s open and easily accessible at low tide.”

“I recognize that place, Caesar. There’s a big rock pillar several dozen feet from the opening,” Juni said.

Caesar nodded. “It’s the same one then. I swam a loop around that.”

Juniper jumped to her feet and turned to Celeste. The two Littles hugged and were quickly squeezed by Zara as she embraced them both. “I remembered right!”

Caesar grinned into the camera before disconnecting completely. Magnus knew that his enjoyment of the Littles was offset by his desire to find his own. He found himself crossing his fingers that each team member would end up with their perfect Little. Squeals of happiness drew his attention back to focus on the celebration.

“Good job, Little girl,” Magnus praised. Juni’s answering smile did something to his insides. She’s my heart. Already, she had shown him more about living life to the fullest than he’d ever experienced.

“What happens now?” Juni asked.

“We’ll have to wait until the tide goes out and look for a time when we can explore without attracting attention,” Magnus told the small group.

Watching them almost quiver with excitement, he knew the time until the tides changed would not come fast enough. He discarded the activities they usually enjoyed. There was no way a movie, painting, coloring, or working would occupy their energy.

“I’m counting to ten. Go hide.”

He smiled as he watched his words register. Covering his eyes, he announced, “One.”

Squeals followed. Magnus grinned as he listened to the three scatter in all directions, his acute hearing giving him clues as to where they were headed. Pop music filled the space, and he knew they’d triggered the workout tunes he’d programmed for them. Smart Littles.

“Two!”

This time, it was tougher to track their positions. He turned his head at a swish of doors. They better be taking that elevator to the fifth floor. “Three!”

“Four.”

“Five.”

A whisper of movement brushed the hem of his jeans as he opened his eyes. Juni sat curled up in front of him. “Hi, Daddy.” She stroked her hands up his calves. “I didn’t want to hide.” She continued wrapping her hands over his thighs and gliding them toward him. “Lock the doors, Daddy,” she requested sweetly. “We’re alone.”

Magnus didn’t even question how she knew he had the power to seal off the basement from visitors. He just typed a few keystrokes as he felt a feather-light brush of her fingers over the worn denim fabric of his fly. He leaned back in his chair, waiting to see what she would do. How daring would his Little girl be?

When she inched the zipper down, he wrapped a hand around hers to stop her. “Have you asked permission, Little one?”

“Daddy, may I?” she chirped with a smile that made the corners of her lips twitch upward.

“Don’t make me come. I have plans for you.”

Her smile transformed into a grin as she nodded obediently. “Yes, Daddy.”

Magnus helped her deal with his pants to free his shaft. His groan went to his core after watching the tip of her tongue dart from her mouth to wet her lips as she attempted to wrap her fingers around his cock. She kept her eyes on his as she leaned forward to lap at his thickness.

“Mmm,” she celebrated as she tasted him for the first time.

Magnus gripped the arms of his chair with a death grip when she flicked her tongue over that sensitive spot just below the head. It took all his willpower to keep his body still.

“Six,” she whispered against his skin. The whisper of her lips sent zings of sensations through him.

It took Magnus three long seconds to process what she had said. Damn, she was still counting.

Her mouth closed over the tip, and she pressed her head downward several inches. His eyes closed automatically as the sensations overwhelmed him. Not wishing to miss a moment of the display in front of him, he forced his eyelids open to meet hers again as she lifted her head. After swirling her tongue around the tip, Juni waggled her eyebrows at him suggestively. “Seven,” she whispered before attempting to swallow his length again.

Magnus allowed her to play, controlling his response with iron-clad resolve. Her caresses held a hint of innocence, enchanting him completely. At the feel of her fingertips tickling his sac, Magnus roared, “Enough.”

She sat up to smile at him and whispered, “Eight.”

He pushed his chair back to allow him to lift her to her feet. He yanked her dress up and her soaked panties down before sitting his precious Little on his thighs. He dragged the white cotton underwear over her sandals and threw the fabric to the side.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Magnus stood and carried her to an empty spot in his workspace. With her bottom plopped firmly on the supporting table, he wrapped his hand around her neck and pulled those tempting lips to his. Her fingers tugged at his T-shirt.

Interrupting their kiss, Magnus moved back slightly to rip the garment over his head. Juniper immediately stroked over his muscles and wrapped her fingers around his waist to pull his hips forward.

“Wait, Little one. Let me make sure you’re ready.”

“I’m wet, Daddy. Promise.”

“Daddy will take care of his Little girl,” Magnus insisted as he stroked a hand over her tummy.

He traced her cleft, finding her as wet as she’d promised. Dipping his fingers into her pink folds, Magnus explored, paying attention to her reactions to push her arousal higher. He stroked over that small bundle of nerves topping her entrance. Her shiver of delight enchanted him. Juni was so responsive.

When she shimmied with need, he grabbed a condom from his pocket and rapidly slid it over his length, gritting his teeth as she attempted to help. Her touch brought back the picture of her on her knees before him. He brushed away her touch before finally fitting his cock into her. Pushing slowly inside, Magnus savored the feel of her tight channel stretching around him. Warm, wet velvet. He eased in and out of her, sliding deeper until his pelvis rested against hers.

“Move, Daddy!” she pleaded, and then, as if she forced herself to focus, “Nine.”

Magnus didn’t respond to her request. He continued to move slowly, stroking at different angles until her fingers tightened on his shoulders. When he found the perfect one, he increased his speed. Gritting his teeth, Magnus was determined to help her find her pleasure repeatedly.

He could feel her channel tightening around him in brief squeezes, announcing that her climax was approaching. Forcing half of his attention to creating code for the next project he wished to attack, Magnus pushed off his own pleasure. His strokes faltered when he watched Juni shift her hands to her own body. She dragged the neckline of her bodice lower to allow her breasts to pop over the top before flicking open the front clasp of her bra.

His heart exploded inside his chest as her beautiful, full mounds burst from the supportive garment. With a groan, he cupped her offering and lowered his mouth to suck firmly on her nipples, one after another. When he nipped at the tip of one, she exploded around him.

“Ten!” she announced. “Ready or not, here I come!”

Her giggles at winning the game of Hide and Go Seek squeezed him jubilantly. Resisting that allure was impossible. Magnus poured himself into the protective sheath wrapped tightly around his shaft as she clung to his strength. Pressing himself as far as possible inside her body, Magnus froze in place and tried to memorize the delight that Juniper offered.

I’ll never get enough of her.
