“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.
Chapter Sixteen
Juniper couldn’t keep her gaze from drifting toward Magnus’s workspace as they sat at dinner that night. She caught him watching her and knew that he tried to prevent a smile of satisfaction from curving his mouth but failed when Kestrel called him on it.
“Magnus, why do you look like you created a new computer language? I figured you’d locked down the basement to make sure you weren’t disturbed.”
“I did complete some computer training, but not a language,” Magnus answered without revealing anything.
“Did you find Juniper, or was her hiding spot too good?” Celeste asked innocently.
Immediately, Juniper felt her face flame with heat and knew she was blushing. She looked down at the fish and chips on her plate and wished the ground would open up and swallow her.
“Juni is an expert at hide and seek,” Magnus assured Celeste before picking up the talking spoon to address everyone.
Juniper blew out a sigh of relief as he changed the subject.
“Caesar found one of the tunnels Juni remembered playing in. It was flooded at high tide but should be accessible when the water ebbs out. I’d like to propose that we close off the conference room for construction,” he said, stressing that last syllable.
“Why not just go through the caves?” Caesar asked.
“The money won’t be there. No one would risk placing it there with a risk of flooding,” Magnus stated. “Besides, I would bet, in a high-stress situation, someone would go to the entrance that jumped out in their memory. The closest one. The first one he learned about. I think we need to get into the access point Juni remembers most.”
When everyone turned to look at her, Juni jumped in. “We always went through the library—now your conference room. It was the place we played.”
“Did your father know about the tunnels?” Kestrel asked.
“Oh, yes. I told him all about them one day, but I think he already knew,” Juniper confessed.
“Oooh! I bet he put it there,” Sadie predicted.
“If he put it anywhere. Maybe Dad wasn’t involved.” Juniper felt compelled to stand up for her father.
“We don’t know his thoughts or intent. Maybe he stashed it there to keep it from the bad guys, and he planned to return it,” Zara said.
“You would think he’d anonymously report it to the police from the States,” Hawking suggested.
Juniper’s shoulders slumped. That did make sense. If her dad was the good guy she’d always known, why hadn’t he turned in the money?
Magnus’s hand covered her knee and squeezed. When she looked at him, he whispered, “Come sit on Daddy’s lap.”
Immediately, she stood and settled in the most secure place she could think of—wrapped in her Daddy’s arms.
“So, we set up remodeling signs to disguise what we’re doing. We should be able to locate the entrance and the stairs leading down to the tunnels. In an old hotel, Edmund Rivers’ brother shouldn’t pay any attention,” Caesar pointed out.
“Good idea. I booked Eric Rivers on an aerial tour tomorrow. He’ll be out of the hotel in the afternoon,” Sadie said with a pointed look at her Daddy.
“Got it. A special tour, it is,” Kestrel acknowledged.
“Thanks. That will give us time to try to find the entrance. Redisguising the opening will take more time than breaking in,” Magnus said.
“Daddy, look!” Juniper pointed to one of the screens on the wall over his computer area.
