“Oh,” Lucas says, dropping his eyes.

“We can watch the game on TV before bed,” I tell him and he perks right back up.

“I’m off tomorrow and the next day,” Harris says. “Maybe I can fly back for that dinner you invited me to.”

Lucas’ eyes get huge behind his glasses. “Really?”

“If it’s okay with your mom.”

They both turn to me with hopeful faces.

“Of course,” I say with a chuckle. “We’d love to have you.”

Harris smiles at me as Lucas tells him all the things they can do together. “I can show you my magic tricks and my LEGO collection. You can read me a book and we can paint. And you can sleep over! Mommy, can he sleep over?”

I grin as I stare at my new man. “Absolutely.”

And now I’m blushing as I think of all the things that we can do together…

CHAPTER TEN

Fiona

It’s midnight when Harris’ car pulls into my driveway. I get an excited little thrill when I see the headlights.

I turn off the lamp where I was reading and light a few candles, giving the house a sensual glow. I quickly check on Lucas—he’s sleeping—close his door, and turn on a sexy playlist.

When the front door opens, I’m standing in my robe, but what Harris doesn’t know is that I’m wearing a new piece of lacy black lingerie underneath.

We’ve been together for weeks now and it’s been incredible. I’m obsessed with this man and he’s obsessed with me. I can’t get enough of him. He stays with us as often as he can, which I really appreciate, and when he can’t make it in person, he always makes sure to video call me and Lucas.

This afternoon, I heard a man’s voice in Lucas’ room and when I went to check on him, he was sleeping on his bed with the iPad curled in his arms while Harris read him a book. I mean, how sweet is that?

Lucas and I watch every Hyenas game together. We both have our Harris Sutton jerseys and we cheer every time the camera shows our man. Most of the games finish too late for Lucas, so we have to finish them after school the next day, which is always torture. Especially during the close games, but Lucas would feel so betrayed if I finished them without him, so I never do.

Harris walks into the house and smiles warmly when he sees me.

“Now, that’s a sight to come home to,” he says as he looks me up and down.

“Wait until you see what I have on underneath,” I answer with a grin.

“Mmmmmm,” he moans as he drops his bag and comes up to me. I love how large he is. I love the masculine sound of his voice in my house. I love everything about this man.

He slides his hand into my hair, cupping the back of my head, and gives me a hot sensual kiss. I melt against his sexy lips.

“I’ll be right back,” he whispers as my chest heaves up and down with heavy breaths. “I just want to kiss my son goodnight before you get me all worked up.”

“Hurry back,” I tell him. “You’ve already gotten me all worked up.”

He grins at me as he disappears down the hall and I feel my cheeks starting to get hot. I still have trouble believing that this amazing man is into me.

I hear Lucas’ door open and then close a few seconds later.

Harris’ heated eyes are on me as he returns. “I have something to ask you.”

I hope he’s going to ask me to remove my robe because I’m dying here.

He reaches into his bag and then drops to his knee in front of me.
