I think we both may have been a bit too tense. Can we try again?

He wanted to give me a chance to redeem myself? Fuck, yes.

I’d love that. I promise I will listen this time and give you what you need.

Yeah? You’re gonna fuck me into the mattress?

Jesus Cristo, who knew Fir Everett could be this dirty? I would never have guessed it, judging by his respectable profession and his reputation as a dependable single parent.

I’ll fulfill every dirty sexual fantasy you have.

I was sexting with Fir Everett. Now there was a sentence I’d never thought I’d utter.

Sounds good. Where do we meet? My kids are home all weekend.

Hmm, that meant we’d either have to meet at a motel or… Weren’t Tiago and Cas planning to head to IKEA this weekend? Something about wanting to look at a shelving system for the basement. Fuck knew they had developed an IKEA addiction.

We can meet at Tiago’s house on Sunday. He and Cas will be gone most of the day.

Which room did they make into the guest room?

I frowned. Why was he asking? Then it hit. Tiago had bought the house from Doc Everett. This was the house Fir had grown up in, and I was pretty sure my guest bedroom had been his bedroom.

I think I’m in your old bedroom. Does that change things?

He sent me an eye roll emoji, and I chuckled.

It’s fine. Just don’t mention my parents in any way, not even as a joke.

I promise. See you then? What time?

Around 2, but I’ll text you when I’m leaving.

Sounds good.

Thank god. He was giving me a chance to redeem myself. Now all I had to do was make sure he had the time of his life. I’d never had complaints from my sexual partners, so that shouldn’t be too much of a problem, right?

On Sunday, anticipation and nervousness hummed through my veins as I prepared the guest room for Fir’s arrival. I changed the bed sheets, fluffed the pillows, and dimmed the lights to create an intimate atmosphere. I debated candles for a moment but then rejected the idea. Candles screamed romance, not fuck-me-into-the-mattress sex. And this time, I would deliver.

I’d taken a long shower, doing some extra grooming to look my best. Because of my job, I’d grown used to taking good care of my body, but I needed things to be perfect today. After he’d texted he was about to leave, I checked my appearance in the mirror one last time, running my fingers through my hair. I’d done all I could.

I opened the front door and waited for him as he pulled into the driveway. Even his car, a trusty blue Subaru Outback, was as reliable as he was.

He was dressed in simple shorts and a T-shirt. “Hi.”

“Hi.”

I swallowed back the “Thanks for coming” that had almost popped out of my mouth. Why did this man make me so nervous? One look at him and all my confidence was gone. Had to be the result of him kicking me out. Or maybe I was still experiencing residual guilt over rejecting him. Whatever. I’d get over myself once we got this party started.

“Let’s head upstairs,” I said as we stood in the foyer. The last thing I wanted was for him to be reminded of growing up here. Thank fuck the house looked little like it had before. Cas and Tiago had done a thorough job of renovating it.

He chuckled as I led him to the guest room. “Yup, that was my old room. I love what they did with the place, though.”

“They have another guest room, but this one is mine.”

Fir’s eyes softened. “It’s good to know you’re always welcome with your brother, even now that he has Cas.”

“It is.”
