I nodded.
“It’s good to take your time and go after what you’re really passionate about.”
Sean nodded but didn’t say anything. I knew then that I’d exhausted his conversational abilities for the night and didn’t want to press my luck. It was obvious that he wasn’t looking for a friend. As Tommy and Sarah finished dinner, I washed the dishes and took them upstairs for bath time. Tommy took a quick shower, and then he went to get his pajamas on. I helped Sarah take her bath and brush her teeth before she got on her own pajamas and climbed in bed.
“Good night,” I said. “I’ll send your daddy up.”
“Good night,” she said back with a wave.
I poked my head in to check on Tommy on my way downstairs, but he was already asleep. Smiling, I walked into the living room to say goodbye to Sean.
“They’re both in bed,” I said. “Sarah’s waiting for you, but Tommy’s already asleep.”
“I can handle bedtime by myself. There’s no need for you to do that part,” he said grudgingly.
I stifled a sigh. “Ok, I’ll be sure to leave that to you in the future.”
Sean nodded. “I’ll see you same time tomorrow.”
Yes sir. Is there anything else you need me to do? Like maybe take that stick out of your ass?
The guy needed a good lesson in manners, but considering what he’d been through, I could give him a pass—for now.
“Good night,” I said, moving slowly toward the door.
As I stepped out onto the front porch, I couldn’t help but glance behind me. Sean was already making his way upstairs. With a sigh, I pulled the front door closed and walked to my car. Once inside, I let out a relieved breath and drove home.
My first day went better than I could have hoped. Tommy and Sarah both seemed to take to me easily, and even Sean had shown small glimpses of humanity at dinnertime. The kids were easy, but Sean had been my main concern. Some parents were nervous and had specific instructions for how to take care of their children. Sean wasn’t one of them.
As gruff and standoffish as he was, he let me take over effortlessly, and that only made my curiosity even stronger.
It didn’t help that he was exceptionally hot. Every time I looked over at Sean, my stomach filled with butterflies. He was gorgeous and incredibly sexy. I couldn’t keep my eyes from roaming over his biceps and obvious six-pack hidden just beneath the thin fabric of his T-shirt.
Sean’s body was on my mind the entire drive home.
CHAPTER FIVE - SEAN
Emily arrived right at eight o’clock the next morning. I’d hoped she’d be late since I took too long to get out of bed. When I woke up, my morning wood was harder than it had been in a long time.
My dreams had been about Emily, and I wasn’t at all surprised to see the tent my cock formed under my sheet. Still, it took me a while to relax and calm down. By the time I managed to climb out of bed, it was already a quarter to eight.
“Good morning,” Emily said brightly as she bounced into the kitchen.
Tommy and Sarah ran over to give her a hug. She leaned down and kissed them both on the top
of the head before she ushered them into their chairs. She was dressed professionally with a pair of black pants and a light-gray sweater, but even so it couldn’t hide the curves she had in all the right places. As she cooked breakfast, I hung back, too afraid to be close to her. She made my body respond in ways that made me feel like I was betraying my marriage, even though I hadn’t been the one to do that.
I looked at her as she stood in front of the stove. Her blue-green eyes were focused downward, and her dark brown curls hung loosely over her face. I swallowed hard and forced myself to look away. From the second Emily walked through the front door yesterday, I hadn’t been able to get her off my mind. I went to bed last night just thinking about her curves and her perky tits. While she cooked, I had to force myself to think about something else. I knew that if I gave just one inch, this woman could climb the wall I’d built around myself. I wasn’t going to let that happen.
It worked for a while. I watched T.V. and flipped through a magazine. Every few minutes, Sarah or Tommy would ask me a question that forced me to look up. I always answered them easily, but then my eyes fell on, Emily and I was back to square one. I needed to find my get out of jail free card or I was going to be in deep trouble.
The hardest test came when she bent over the kitchen table to cut Sarah’s sausage. With that one motion, I got a bird’s eye view of her ample cleavage, and I felt my dick twitch in my pants. I swallowed hard and tried to look away, but I couldn’t. Her tits were like magnets, drawing my eyes to them and torturing me with their appeal. My thoughts ventured on dangerous territory.
“Are you hungry, Sean?” Emily asked suddenly. She stood up straight, her eyes focused on mine. “I can make you something before I take the kids to the park.”
“No.” I cleared my throat. “I’m good.”
Emily nodded and went back to getting the kids ready for the day. I exhaled slowly and covered my lap with the magazine I’d been holding. The last thing I needed was for Emily or the kids to see my raging boner first thing in the morning. I was beyond grateful when they finally left the house for a quick trip to the park.
