A keeper she wouldn’t get to keep.

“Whoa!” Maddie looked up from the stove where she cooked dinner and gave Sophie a long wolf whistle. “Holy shit, Sophie.”
She grinned and tugged down the minuscule skirt of her dress. “Good?”
From the table where Mitch had been entertaining Lily with funny faces that made the baby howl with laughter, he gave her a long once-over. “That’s quite a dress.”
It was. It was black and slinky, barely covering the curve of her ass and dipping dangerously low. Her cleavage spilled out of stretchy fabric that looked painted on and hugged every single one of her curves. She completed the outfit in sky-high four-and-a-half-inch stilettos.
Mitch’s expression turned serious as he looked at his daughter. “Now, Lily, don’t let Aunt Sophie give you any ideas. While she may cause a heart attack in the male population, you are only allowed to dress in a nun’s habit.”
The little girl with her shock of red hair gave her daddy a big, wet raspberry.
Sophie smoothed her hand over her hair and leaned down to mock whisper, “He’s wrong, Lils, you wear whatever you want.”
Mitch grinned, shaking his head. “Remind me to never let you take her shopping when she’s a teenager.”
“No promises,” Sophie said, chuckling.
Maddie waved a hand over Sophie. “I’m assuming you’re meeting Ryder?”
“Of course.” She’d completed her transformation into high-priced slut by curling her hair into wild, messy waves and darkening her makeup to smoky, completing his fantasy with dark red Chanel lipstick.
She looked seriously hot. She knew that. She smirked. “I have plans.”
“May God help him,” Mitch said, his tone dry.
“Indeed.” Sophie picked up her bag. “Thanks for letting me get ready here. I didn’t want to risk running into him at home. I cleaned everything up, but now it’s time for me to run.”
Mitch winked. “Have fun, Soph. Don’t break him.”
“I make zero promises.” Sophie turned on her high heels and blew a kiss to Maddie. “I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”
Maddie put down the spatula and glanced at her husband. “Can you watch the stove while I walk Sophie out?”
“Sure thing, Princess,” Mitch said.
Sophie pushed open the swinging door of their kitchen and started walking down the hall, Maddie at her heels. When they got to the door, Maddie grinned. “Now, remember to use protection.”
They always did, although she was on the pill and thinking tonight might be time to throw caution to the wind. Ryder had gone to the doctor a few weeks ago for his annual physical for the department, and Sophie knew she was clean. She wanted him inside her, with no barrier. Wanted to feel him hard and hot, sliding deep. But it wasn’t a discussion she wanted to have with Maddie. She didn’t want to be late.
Sophie laughed. “All right, Mom.”
Maddie tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. “You’re having fun, right?”
“I’m having the most fun.” Sophie’s heart beat fast every time she thought of how much.
“Good. This is exactly what I wanted, for you to have fun while you lived here.” Maddie wrinkled her nose and cleared her throat. “I have a confession to make.”
Sophie raised her brows. “What’s that?”
“There was another house for rent and I picked this one because of Ryder.” She shrugged her shoulder. “I thought you guys might hit it off.”
Sophie shook her head. “You are such a brat.”
“When you first met him I thought it backfired, but I knew when I forced you into blind dates it was on. The look you gave each other was priceless.”
