Single Dad's Surrogate

by Annie Young

  Oh, God, she thought. Whoops. Didn't mean to see that.

  Lily glanced away, but then something much more powerful than her own will caused her to look back at him. Her eyes locked onto his body, watching as the warm water from the shower splashed over his skin. He was turned to the side, but even so, Lily was able to catch a nice view of his ass. It was just as muscular and toned as the rest of his body. The soapy water slid down it, makings its way toward his legs.

  I seriously should not be watching this right now, she thought. I should turn around right now and march downstairs, pretending I didn't see any of this.

  Despite her thoughts, though, she stayed put. She couldn't look away. This was pure, visual gold. This was the sexiest man she had ever known, a man she had fantasized about for years. Now she had the chance to see what he looked like without clothes on. It made it difficult not to stare.

  Wyatt turned his body a bit and continued running his hands through his hair. His back now faced the bathroom mirror, giving Lily a direct view of his ass.

  Holy shit, she thought, feeling a warm tingling ignite in between her legs. He's so goddamn hot.

  His shoulder and back muscles were ripped and they flexed as he washed his hair. But that ass of his was what really made her wet. She wanted nothing more than to strip down naked and hope in there with him.

  What am I doing? She thought. I can't watch this. Seriously. What the hell am I thinking?

  Lily turned away and took a step toward the bedroom door to exit the room. She had every intention of leaving to head back downstairs to the kitchen. She really did. Once again, though, her lust won the battle and pulled her back to where she had a direct line of sight to that bathroom mirror.

  Because the bedroom curtains were drawn, she was safely hidden in the shadows of the room. There wasn't any real concern of Wyatt catching her peeping. It didn't justify the invasion of privacy, but it did at least make Lily feel a little less likely to get caught.

  Her panties had already gotten wet. She could feel it. There was an urge to touch herself, but she ignored it the best she could. Masturbating while watching him would have been taking it a bit too far, at least in her mind.

  Look at him, though, she thought. That body of his is too perfect for words. I just wonder what those muscles actually feel like. I'll bet they're as hard as rocks when he flexes. I'll bet he's so damn strong.

  Wyatt let the water splash over his head, washing the shampoo from his hair. The suds spilled down his back and Lily's eyes followed them, savoring the view of his backside like it was the finest wine on planet Earth.

  Maggie was still downstairs eating breakfast, but even so, Lily knew that she couldn't just stand there gawking all morning long. It would just be a matter of time before little Maggie would wonder where she was and come barreling down the hallway. The clock was ticking, but Lily just wanted another second. Just one more moment to let her eyes soak up this beautiful view.

  Wyatt slowly turned in the shower and as he did, Lily's eyes widened. Her pussy clenched underneath her panties and began to throb in anticipation, while Wyatt spun around in the shower until his front faced the mirror.

  Oh fuck, Lily thought, swallowing down the excitement.

  With Wyatt facing the mirror directly, she now had an unfiltered view of his front side. She could feel her heart rate increase. It was thumping behind her rib cage now, pumping blood quickly to all parts of her body. She could hear the whooshing of it in her eardrums.

  Her eyes started at the top of him. His dark hair was drenched with water and had fallen down his forehead, covering his eyes just a bit. She followed the suds downward, across that gorgeous face of his and to his bare chest.

  I love his shoulders and chest, she thought, with a dreamy sigh. He's so just manly. God, he's so hot that it's almost painful to watch this. It's like a pleasurable torture. A good kind of pain.

  She watched as the soapy water dribbled between his abdominal muscles. The desire between her thighs began to soar as her gaze continued to move downward. She drew in a quick breath, as her eyes landed on the most exciting part.

  Oh, my God, she thought, gently biting her lower lip. That's just icing on the cake.

  Her eyes focused on his cock, which hung between his legs and gently swung back and forth with his movements. Even though he wasn't erect, he was still surprisingly big down there. In fact, he was noticeably larger than any man she'd ever been with. Seeing his dick was enough to cause the rate of her breathing to increase. She was practically panting as she gazed at him.

  There was no doubt about it. Every part of Lily wanted every part of Wyatt. She realized it then, in that moment, as she stared at his gloriously naked body. She didn't know if it was simply lust or if there was more to it than that, but her body told her that it didn't matter either way. All that mattered was satisfying her curiosity. She wanted to know what that dick felt like when it was hard. She wondered how it would feel pressed inside of her, sliding deep into her hole as she begged for more.

  A wave of dizziness flooded her and she drew in a quick breath. She hadn't even realized it until right then, but her hand, which apparently had a mind of its own, had drifted down her front. She was gently massaging her clit over her pajama pants, sending waves of pleasure into her body.

  “Jesus,” she whispered, snatching her hand away from her privates. “What am I doing?”

  She took one final look at Wyatt, letting her eyes move up and down the length of his body. She wanted to make sure she caught every detail, because she realized that seeing him like this wasn't something that would likely happen again.

  Alright, enough fun, she thought. I've got to get out of here before I get caught.

  With that, Lily spun around and finally headed out of Wyatt's bedroom. As she stepped out into the hallway, she exhaled a huge breath. Her entire body tingled with excitement. Of course, this was offset by a little bit of guilt. She couldn't help but to wonder what Wyatt would have thought if he found out that she had been standing there for five minutes just watching him shower.

  “How were the eggs?” Lily asked, stepping back into the kitchen.

  Maggie spun around on her stool. She had a smile on her face and orange juice on her upper lip.

  “Good!” she said. “You haven't eaten yours.”

  “Yeah, I know,” Lily said, ruffling up Maggie's hair. “I'm about to. I couldn't find your dad to ask him about your dance class, but we'll see him before he leaves for work. Why don't you go downstairs and play with your toys for a bit? I'll come and get you when it's time to leave.”

  “Okay,” Maggie said, hopping off of the chair. “I'll build you something really neat with my Lego set.”

  “Awe,” Lily said. “I'd love that. Thank you, Maggie.”

  Maggie disappeared around the corner and Lily took a seat. She ate her eggs and began sipping on her coffee, which had grown cold from sitting on the counter while she had been busy doing her spying.

  All she could think about what she had just seen. The image of Wyatt in the shower was at the forefront of her mind, turning her on beyond belief. It seemed like all she wanted in that moment was his body. She wanted to run her hands over his flesh, touching every part of him. The thought made her tingle all over. She became so caught up in the image of him that she didn't even realize she was staring blankly ahead.

  “Um, Lily, you alright?” Wyatt's voice snapped her back to reality.

  He had just popped around the corner. She took a quick sip from her coffee and nodded. “Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, was just thinking about something.”

  “Do you like the color of this shirt, with this tie?” he asked, running his hands down the front of his suit coat.

  He had gotten dressed into a perfectly-fitted black suit. Underneath, he had a silver-colored shirt on with a dark gray tie. The colors worked really well together and he looked amazing in it. To be fair, though, Lily thought that he probably would have looked pretty damn good regardless of
what he was wearing.

  “I think those colors are nice together,” Lily said, eyeing him up and down. “It must be a pretty important meeting. You're very dressed up.”

  “I always dress like this when I go to the office,” he said. “I think it's important with what I do. I'm basically the face of the company, you know? Don't get me wrong, though, I wish I could just go wearing sweat pants and a t-shirt. Somehow, though, I don't think our investors would be too impressed.”

  Lily smiled, unable to do anything but stare at Wyatt. He looked good in that suit, but now she knew what he looked like underneath. That was much sexier than anything he could have ever worn.

  “Oh, shoot, I've got to ask you something.” Lily suddenly remembered why she had gone upstairs to his bedroom in the first place.

  “What's up?” Wyatt asked.

  “What does Maggie need for her dance class?” she asked. “I asked her and she told me something about dance shoes and a pink outfit. As you can imagine, that didn't really help to narrow it down all that much.”

  Wyatt laughed. “Yeah, I bought her new dance shoes. They're still in the box. I'll grab her leotard and her shoes and set them out on her bed. I've texted you the directions to the dance studio, so you have that. If you need anything else at all, don't hesitate to call.”

  “Thanks, Wyatt,” Lily said. “So I guess I'll see you later on tonight?”

  “Yes, I'll be back a little later,” he said. “Hopefully not too late, but probably after six.”

  “I was thinking about trying to make dinner again,” she said. “I was wondering if you'd be around for it.”

  He nodded. “Yeah, I'll be around for it. I'll text you if something changes, but I can't imagine that I'll get home any later than seven.”

  “Great!” Lily said.

  “Alright, well I'm going to run downstairs and say goodbye to the little rugrat.” Wyatt turned to leave. “You have a good day. See you later on tonight.”

  “Thanks, you have a good day, too,” Lily said.

  She watched as Wyatt exited the room. Her eyes dropped down to his backside, admiring his ass as he left. She chuckled to herself as she thought of an old line her girlfriends and her used to say whenever they saw a guy with a nice butt.

  I hate to see him go, but I just love seeing him walk away, she thought.

  As soon as he was gone around the corner, she let out a sigh. Her hands were trembling a bit as she sipped her coffee. She wasn't sure why, but thought it was likely because of the earlier excitement of seeing him in the shower. The adrenaline must have been wearing off by now, which caused her hands to shake a little bit.

  He's obviously hot, but I think there's something else about him that I'm attracted to, she thought. Maybe it's because he's such a good dad. There's got to be something to that. As a woman, I'm going to want a guy who I know can take care of kids. Maybe that's what this is. The cave woman part of my brain likes him for that reason.

  Lily knew, though, that Wyatt actually had lots of traits that attracted her to him, probably too many to count. Beyond the fact that he was a good father, he was also wealthy, good-looking, charismatic and was overflowing with positive energy. As much as she had been trying to fight her feelings toward him, it was becoming pretty clear to her that she might not be able to fight them for much longer. They were just too prominent now and were taking over her mind whenever she wasn't distracted by something else.

  She didn't know what to do, though. It wasn't like she could just come right out and tell him how she felt. That would make things super awkward and could potentially put her relationship with Maggie at risk.

  If I told him I liked him and he didn't feel the same way, it might be enough for him to not want me in he and Maggie's life any more, she thought. I know he's still grieving from Caroline's death and what if the thought of another woman wanting him caused him to put his walls up?

  So she decided it would be best to just keep her feelings to herself. What Wyatt didn't know wouldn't hurt him. She realized that it would be an extremely difficult task to keep it all inside, but also knew that the things in life that are actually worth doing are almost always difficult.

  Chapter 11

  Wyatt

  Wyatt was on his way to work, but stuck in heavy morning traffic. Usually, this would have made him frustrated. He didn't have much patience for the congestion on the highway. He was the guy who would raise his hands up and honk his horn, just to try to gain another car length toward his destination. For whatever reason, though, this morning was different. Even though he was on his way to an important meeting, and there was a chance he'd be late, he wasn't even worried.

  His belly was full of the coffee that Lily had made, his daughter was taken care of and there would be dinner on the table when he got home. Right then, there wasn't a whole lot else that he wanted. It was perfect really. It was easy. Lily was making everything so simple and even though it was only Monday, he was already feeling like her time there was going by too quickly.

  I wonder if I should hire her after this week is up, just for the extra help around the house, he thought. I mean, I can't fire Mildred, but maybe they could both work for me. Or maybe I could have Lily work on Saturday and Sunday, so that Mildred could have the weekends off.

  There was more to his reasoning of wanting Lily to work for him than the fact that she took good care of Maggie, though. Whether he wanted to admit it to himself or not, he liked it when she was around because it made his life feel a little more normal. That was something he hadn't felt since Caroline had passed.

  It's just so nice waking up in the morning and having a young woman in the house, he thought, pulling off of the highway and onto the frontage road, which would take him to his office. There's just something about it that feels so good. Maybe it makes me feel young again or something. I'm not sure what it is exactly.

  His thoughts immediately went to earlier that morning, when he'd stepped into the kitchen to see Lily in her pajama pants and tank top. He hadn't even consciously thought about it, but he had definitely checked her out. When she'd turned around, his eyes dropped right to that firm ass of hers, noticing the diagonal lines from her panties underneath.

  Just the thought made him get a little bit hard under his slacks. Mostly because it reminded him of Friday night, when he actually got to see her in her panties.

  Damn, she looks good, he thought, shaking his head. It's almost like torture, though, because I can't have her. I can only look, I can't touch. I feel like a diabetic in a candy store. Everything I want is right in front of me, but I can't have it.

  Just the idea of doing something sexual with Lily made Wyatt feel guilty, just like always. He wished he didn't feel that way, but he couldn't help it. All he could think about was Caroline and how her feelings would be hurt if he ever did anything sexual with another woman.

  “I wish I could just talk to you, Caroline,” Wyatt whispered to himself, driving into the parking garage of his building. “Maybe you wouldn't think I'm crazy for being interested in Lily after all. I just don't know.”

  After parking, he hopped out of his Lamborghini and headed into his building. He had exactly one minute to spare before his meeting started.

  Wyatt closed the door to his office. His meeting with the investors had gone really well, putting him in a great mood. He kicked his feet up on the desk and put his hands behind his head. There were little moments like these when he felt really great about everything.

  I should think of something fun to do with Maggie this week, he thought. I haven't taken her to do anything in quite some time. Maybe I'll talk to Lily and see if she has any ideas of what we could do. I heard that the Renaissance Fair is in town. We could always check that out, I suppose.

  A knocking game on the door of his office and he sighed.

  “Never a dull moment around here.” Wyatt dropped his feet off of his desk and sat forward. “Come in.”

  When the door opened, a familiar face popped
into the room. “Morning, sunshine.”

  Wyatt raised an eyebrow and laughed. “Hey, David. What's up, man?”

  David stepped into the office. He was wearing a black suit with a bright red tie. He looked like he was about to run for president.

  “Not too much going on.” David closed the door behind him and then plopped down onto the chair on the opposite side of the desk from Wyatt. “Besides the fact that I just talked to Cindy, your secretary. My God, she's looking good. Have you noticed the rack on her lately? I swear those boobs are getting bigger. You think she's pregnant, or is God just making them bigger so that I have something nice to look at when I stop by?”

  Wyatt rolled his eyes. “David, don't talk like that about Cindy. She works for me, man. You know I'm not allowed to look at her like that, even if I wanted to.”

  David leaned in. “What do you mean? Are you telling me that it's a crime to take an innocent glance at a nice set of tits?”

  Wyatt shook his head. “No, I'm not saying that at all. I just don't need a sexual harassment case to deal with. I've got plenty enough on my plate as it is. Plus, I actually have a lot of respect for Cindy. The girl works harder than I do and that's saying something. I guess I see her as more than just a pair of tits.”

  “Well, more for me to look at then.” David smirked and leaned forward, bringing his elbows to the top of the desk. “I'm trying to think of the best way to tell you this, but I'm worried about you, Wyatt. Look, I understand why you don't want to be caught checking out your own secretary, but I haven't heard you speak about any girl since Caroline.”

  Wyatt brought his gaze up until he locked eyes with David. “So what?”

  “I don't want you to get defensive,” he replied. “I'm just looking out for you. I loved Caroline, too. She was the best woman I've ever known and I think she was perfect for you. I also think that she would want you to be happy.”
