Page 14 of What I Needed

How does bouncing on your dick sound?

Me:

Give me an hour and a half. You know where to meet me.

Alana:

See you soon.

Although I’d rather Erissa bounce on my dick, Alana would have to do. My dick got hard just thinking about the last time we’d hooked up, and cumming down Alana’s throat was a good way to end the day.

“Lord, why is that man so damn fine?” I whispered when I made it to the kitchen.

This job would test more than my childcare skills. It would also test my willpower and restraint. If River kept looking at me as if he could have me for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, I might just become his favorite meal.

Before making the grocery store order, I looked online for healthy, hearty meals. I was used to cooking on the healthy side because as my grandparents aged, I was responsible for cooking their meals. They weren’t professional basketball players, so I had to find meals that would be filling too.

On the menu tonight was spinach pesto pasta with broccoli and a Caesar salad on the side. I’d never made this meal before, so I was a bit nervous about how it would turn out. River didn’t seem very picky, so I hoped he didn’t choose today to start.

I could see into the family room from the kitchen, so while I cooked, I looked at him and Riverlynn every so often. The sound from the TV deprived me of hearing the conversation he was having with the infant, but I could tell he was talking to her.

About twenty minutes into my meal preparation, he stood, with his daughter in his arms, and joined me in the kitchen. He sat at the table, facing me, which rattled my nerves even more.

“Whatever you’re making smells good. The only time my kitchen ever smells this good is when my mom visits,” he said.

“I’ll definitely take that as a compliment. Does your mom visit often?”

“Not as often as I’d like. I have a younger sister who’s a senior in high school, and my mom works at the high school she attends. She refuses to quit until after Rylee graduates, so her time isn’t as available as I’d like.”

I giggled. “You sound bitter.”

“Shit. I am. I could’ve really used her help, but apparently, she has responsibilities that are more important than her son.”

This time, I released a laugh from my belly.

“Like what, your sister and her job?”

“Yeah, I guess, but I had an emergency situation and was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Thank God you accepted my offer.”

“I’m glad I could help, but hopefully you don’t have any other women out there carrying your children and decide to leave them at your doorstep.”

“Don’t jinx me, but I shouldn’t. I honestly don’t know how this happened. I never have unprotected sex, I supply my own condoms, and I dispose of them myself when we’re done.”

“Maybe you slipped up once and don’t remember.”

“Nah. I don’t drink often or heavily in general, but especially not during the season, and I don’t smoke, so my mind is always in the moment.”

“Well, condoms aren’t a hundred percent effective. Let’s just say that your little mini was meant to be here. I don’t know much about you, but fatherhood looks good on you.”

He looked at Riverlynn, who seemed content in his arms.

“Considering the way it just fell into my lap, I appreciate that. I still have no clue what the fuck I’m doing, but my lack of knowledge isn’t Riverlynn’s fault. I gotta figure this shit out.”

“You will, and I don’t know much about parenting, either, but I’ll help as much as I can.”

Neither of us spoke for a minute, and I could feel his eyes on me as I moved around the kitchen.

“What’s your story?” he asked, breaking the silence.
