“That’s no excuse,” I told her. “I had work, yes, but I should’ve put the other bullshit aside and been a father, been a husband. My ex did everything on her own. I don’t blame her for dumping my absent ass. Hell, I don’t really blame her for cheating, either. We’d gone from lovers to partners, then partners to acquaintances.”
She pulled my hand and stopped me, making me turn to look at her. The love in her eyes was bright and watery as she stared back.
“Be that as it may, you’re here now. You’re here and your boys love you. You’re a good father, and a good role model. Give yourself some credit.”
I just shrugged, not ready to take any kind of credit because I didn’t feel like I deserved it.
In my own room, I immediately shucked off my shoes and drew off my belt.
Mia dug through her little overnight bag that she’d just started storing here and got out some satiny pajamas.
“I didn’t know you were religious,” she finally said after undressing and dressing again in pajamas.
I’d watched her from the side of my eye like a perv, but turned to her to answer.
“I’m not particularly religious,” I admitted. “I was never the go to church type, or the praying type. But I know how much it means to Paula, so I do what I can to keep on the routine that she sets for them. Kids need consistency.”
“Ah, I see,” she murmured.
I paused in my undressing and stood there across from her in my dark blue boxer briefs.
“Why do you ask?”
She shrugged, pushing up the silky strap of her pajamas.
“Oh, well, I’m religious,” she said. “I wondered how that would work, you know, long term.”
I bypassed the pajamas and slipped into bed with her just in my underwear. There was less than a one percent chance that she’d get to go to sleep before I fucked her brains out anyway, so it was saving a step, really.
“Is that a problem for you, that I’m not necessarily devout?” I asked her. “It’s not that I don’t believe in God per se, but it’s always been a sort of abstract thing for me.”
“I mean, when we look at a future together, I think about going to Easter and Christmas, and the thought of going alone makes me…sad,” she admitted, tears wetting her eyes.
“You wouldn’t have to go alone,” I promised. “Even if it’s not for me, I’ll support you. That’s kind of how this whole relationship thing works. If God and religion is a passion for you, then I’ll find a way to help you explore it.”
Mia gave me the most grateful grin, tears dripping down her cheeks.
“You’re amazing,” she murmured before gripping my cheeks and lowering my face to hers.
“Amazing enough to earn a blowjob?” I countered.
Mia giggled and crawled over me before kissing down my chest.
All thoughts of God and religion flew out of my brain as my girlfriend yanked down my underwear just to sink her whole mouth down around me.
I let out a strangled moan, giving it all to her before I eventually flipped her over to return the favor.
Caden jumped into the bed between us at six in the morning.
I jerked awake, but Mia screamed when my six year old’s cold hands found her bare belly. Now, luckily she’d been smart enough to dress after I’d made her come three times, but sleeping had made her shirt and shorts ride up, and Caden didn’t give a single shit how cold he was when he started nestling in with us.
“It’s just Caden,” I told Mia who was sitting stock upright, trying to figure out what the fuck was going on. “He’s an early riser and he likes to cuddle in the morning,” I told her.
She blinked away the fogginess of sleep and finally registered the child in our bed.
With a smile that was far too gracious for the situation, she put her arm around him and tucked him in before closing her eyes again, cuddling the shit out of my kid like it was the most normal thing in the world.
I heard a shuffle by the door and saw Charlie there, waiting for an invitation.
