Longing For The Beach Billionaire Daddy
Chapter 237

Shelby’s eyes widened when she saw the “Blocked Number” flash on her phone screen. Fearful thoughts flooded my mind—was our family in danger? Without a second thought, I commanded her, “Put it on speaker and answer it.” To the driver, I said,, “Pull over so we can hear it.”

My heart pounded as Shelby fumbled for the speakerphone button. The sound of ringing echoed in the car.

Shelby’s hands shook, and she stared at the unfamiliar caller ID on her phone. After a few deep breaths, she pressed the answer button with a trembling finger and lifted the phone to her mouth. “Hello?” she said hesitantly.

The line was silent for a moment before a gentle woman’s voice replied, “Shelby, dear, how are you? Sorry I didn’t call from my number, but these past few days have made my husband so paranoid about my safety that I can hardly make a move without him keeping tabs.”

Shelby and I smiled, relief evident throughout the car.

“Anyway, I was just calling to tell you that we’ve gone underground until things smooth over,” Shelby’s boss, Beatrice, informed her. “We’ve worked with a few reliable contacts and have managed to set up safe accommodations for all of our clients. We’ve also hired plenty of extra security staff for the office so we can make sure the safety of all involved is being taken seriously.”

“I’m so glad to hear that. I’ve been worried sick about everyone,” Shelby responded as the driver pulled off the shoulder and began our drive back to our safe house. Bruce kept a watch out the back to make sure we weren’t being followed, and I trusted him to do that.

“I know and I appreciate that. Listen, I’m telling you this so that you stay away from the office for the time being so you can continue to stay in hiding and don’t worry about anyone. We’ll call you if anything changes and keep in touch until we can get this all cleared up.”

Shelby nodded, her voice filled with determination. “I understand. Is there anything else I should do?”

“Yes,” the woman said. “We need you to come to lunch and meet one of our agents tomorrow so that you can turn over the two hard drives. We want to make sure that you can get out of this case without any further complications.”

Shelby agreed and hung up the phone, letting out a long sigh, her eyes narrowed as she stared ahead. She turned to Bruce, her face illuminated with determination.

“I need you to drive me to tomorrow’s meeting,” she said firmly. “You’re the only one I trust. Do you know anyone reliable who can copy my hard drives in case we run into any problems?”

Bruce’s mouth set in a firm line, and concern furrowed his brow. “I’ll drive you, and I know a guy who can copy what you need. But Shelby, this seems dodgy to me. Are you sure about going through with it? It could be a trap. I don’t want you getting hurt.”

Shelby’s face was resolute as she looked at me, determination shining through her eyes. “I have to do this, I can’t let it go on any longer. And besides, you’ll be with me the entire time.”

The car was quiet, save for the traffic around us. I nodded in agreement, my mind racing with possible scenarios.

“We’ll be there with you every step of the way. But we need to be cautious and prepared. Bruce, reach out to your contact so we can make sure the copies are made as soon as possible. And Shelby, we need to go over a plan for tomorrow’s meeting.”

As we drove, Bruce reached for his phone and dialed a number. Once he hung up, he explained that there would be someone waiting for us at the entrance of our apartment building. Over the next few minutes of the drive, Bruce outlined his plan–he would send someone in to arrive early and survey the area, looking for any signs of trouble or unusual activity. If anything at all was wrong, he’d pull her out of there.

We made it home. Shelby made copies of the hard drives, then Bruce, Shelby, the babies, and I had dinner together. We all gathered around the table, and I realized we hadn’t experienced such peace since Hawaii. After dinner, we decided to take a stroll outside, around our apartment complex. The warm summer air hung heavy in the night sky as Bruce pushed the stroller, and Shelby and I held hands.

The night air was gentle, carrying the scent of freshly-mowed lawns and budding flowers. As we walked around inside of the perimeter of the safe house, the chirping of crickets created a lulling background for our conversation. We took slow steps, stopping to point out different things as we caught up on each other’s lives in a way that had been impossible recently.

After a while, Bruce said, “Why don’t you two take the night off, and I’ll get the babies ready for bed? You can turn in early to rest before the meeting tomorrow.”

Shelby and I shared a look of relief, but Shelby still seemed hesitant. She opened her mouth to speak, but Bruce cut her off with a shake of his head and a gentle smile. “It’s no problem at all. You two need your rest. You have a big day tomorrow.”

She nodded reluctantly and offered him a grateful smile. “Thank you, Bruce. We appreciate it.”

With that settled, we headed upstairs. Shelby and I went straight to our bedroom while Bruce took the babies to their room. We slowly undressed, taking the time to get rid of the tension that had been building throughout the day. We both got into the bathtub and sank into its warm embrace. The hot water felt good against our skin as we leaned against each other, finally feeling a sense of relief for the first time in weeks.

Shelby twisted in the water, her wet breasts sliding across my skin, and kissed me passionately. I could smell the scent of the lavender soap she’d used clinging to her body. She trailed k****s down my neck, then pulled away and smiled up at me coyly.

“Let’s play a little game,” Shelby suggested and arched her eyebrow up playfully.

A wave of anticipation rippled through me as I raised an eyebrow back in curiosity, “What kind of game, baby?”

She flashed me a mischievous smile and then gracefully submerged herself beneath the water’s surface. Her hands found their way to my waist and she slowly wrapped her soft lips around my rigid e******n. A few moments later her head re-emerged above the surface, and she met my gaze with a daring twinkle in her eyes before purring, “Now you try.”

A low chuckle escaped my lips as I slowly descended, my mouth hovering just above her warm flesh. My tongue moved softly over her delicate folds before settling between them, the warmth of her skin radiating through me. I pushed my tongue flat and swept it up and down her center, savoring the flavor of her arousal until I was forced to come up for air.

Shelby let out a wicked chuckle as she submerged herself in the water. She moved with certainty, her hands wrapping around my thighs before her head dipped below the surface. The warmth of the liquid embraced us both and I felt each gentle swirl of her tongue against my flesh. Her lips softly brushed the tip of me with every pass, sending shivers up my spine. My breathing kept pace with hers, unable to find a word that could accurately describe this moment.

Shelby smiled devilishly at me before plunging back beneath the waves. With expert precision, she found my arousal and caressed it with her tongue, accompanied by soft k****s on the tip. The combination of warm water and delicate lips made this moment something I could hardly put into words.

I fisted my hand in her hair and pulled her out of the water. She looked up at me, her face soaked and dripping with water, and smiled up at me with an impish twinkle in her eyes.

“Let’s take this to the bedroom,” I said, and before she could answer, I had her in my arms. I helped her out of the tub and dried her off first then myself. Then, I picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom.

When we reached the bed, Shelby gasped as I held her up in one arm while pulling back the covers with my other hand. She let out an excited laugh and crawled under the sheets. We lay there for a few moments just enjoying each other’s company until Shelby rolled onto me. As she leaned into me, I could feel my heart start to beat faster–a beat that matched hers perfectly.

She brushed her lips against mine softly at first then deeper as our breaths grew ragged, and desire began to overtake us both. We let ourselves get lost in each other’s k****s. Her back arched as I ran my hands along her h**s and slowly moved them down to cup her buttocks. I could feel the warm wetness between her legs as our breathing grew more labored.

We rolled so that she was on her back, and I gently walked my fingers up her thighs until they brushed against her s*x. She quivered beneath me, and once again we lost ourselves in each other’s k**s.

My fingers glided deeper into the wet folds of her flesh, and she sighed with pleasure. I teased her clit gently, spinning circles around it to build tension. Shelby m****d softly as she watched me from beneath a hooded gaze, her breath hitching in anticipation as she fumbled for something to hold onto.

Soon, we were both trembling with anticipation as Shelby’s breathing became more erratic. Her body shuddered beneath me as she reached o****m, and it only spurred me on further. My tongue spun lazy circles around the engorged nub of her c******s, and my fingers stroked deep inside her s*x while my other hand held onto the soft silk of her hair.

With a few final strokes of my tongue, and one last suckle on her clit, Shelby let out a loud cry of ecstasy that echoed throughout our room before slowly subsiding into soft m***s and sighs of satisfaction.

Shelby g*****d and said, “You turn.”

With a mischievous grin, I rolled onto my back. She slithered down my body slowly, planting tiny k****s along the way. Her soft lips parted around the head of my d**k as she licked and suckled it with just the right amount of pressure.

My entire body shivered in pleasure as Shelby worked her way down my shaft with expert precision, her hands cupping my balls tenderly as she took me to the brink of ecstasy. I could feel an overwhelming wave of pleasure erupting from within me, and before I knew it, I was spilling into her mouth with a guttural g***n of delight.

Shelby continued to suck gently on me until all of the pleasure had drained out then kissed up my body until we were nose to nose again.
