All Chapters of Touch Me,Daddies : Chapter 11 - Chapter 16

IVY’S POVI woke slowly, like the world was pulling me up from somewhere deep and warm.My body felt heavy in the best way, wrapped in warmth and steady heartbeats. The sheets smelled like us, like skin, sweat, and a faint tang of wine. My hair was a mess, my lips still felt swollen from kisses , and every inch of me hummed with the memory of last night.I didn’t open my eyes right away. I didn’t need to but I could feel them.An arm was curved protectively over my waist. A broad chest pressed to my back. A tangle of legs anchored me in place, holding me there like I belonged.When I finally looked, the morning light was soft, gold seeping through the curtains and spilling across the bed.On my right was Asher with a sharp jawline, dark hair mussed from sleep, and lashes long enough to cast shadows on his cheeks. Even unconscious, there was something controlled about him, like he could wake up and take charge

ASHER’S POV“He’s back.”“ He took her.”The words were like iron in my mouth.

ASHER’S POVThe guilt gnawed at me, sharp and insistent. Ella was out there because of me.Because of us.I rubbed my face, pulling at the stubble along my jaw. Feeling bad didn’t fix anything. Words didn’t undo this. Actions did. And right now, action was all I had.“Kai,” I said, voice tight, eyes scanning the screens in front of me, “what did you get from the Lantern?”He didn’t flinch. Calm, precise, eyes flicking between his tablet and mine. “Bartender says he was there last night. Had a meeting with someone I don’t recognize. Mentioned a cave… or some terminal port. Took notes, diagrams, maybe plotting something. Looked like scouting.”I exhaled, long and low, already thinking a dozen steps ahead. “List every cave, every terminal port in the area. Every exit near water. Every blind spot. I want coordinates, access routes, timings, everything.”Kai nodded, swiping the screen. “Six terminal ports near the sea. Three already occupied, teams in position. Fourth just left, should be
