And I’m ready to lock him down.
Chapter Fourteen
Will
After finding out about the baby, I can’t keep my hands off Elle. I fuck her long and hard all morning, obsessed with the woman who is finally giving me everything I want in life. A family, a child, a life filled with love. Before her, nothing truly made sense. Before her, I had nothing. But now, as we lie in bed together, side by side, I know that life will never be the same again in the best possible way. She and I are going to build something truly special together.
But there are obstacles to overcome. We both know that, even if we don’t want to admit it out loud. We both know that we’re going to have to talk about her dad at some point and figure out how we’re going to tell him.
I already know he’s going to be angry beyond belief. After all, he’s gone on vacation for one week only to come home to his forty-two year old neighbor fucking his twenty-one year old daughter. I think in his shoes, I’d feel just as betrayed. But what he doesn’t know is what this means to me and her. It’s not just some crazy one-night stand. I knew from the moment that I laid eyes on her that she was the one. This love between us was instantaneous, even if we didn’t truly understand it at first. Now, I know I can’t live life without her. Not when I love her more than anything or anyone I’ve ever known. Not when she’s the one person in the world who can give me what I want. Now she’s carrying my child. If I have to be selfish to be with her, then so be it. Steve might be my friend, but that’s nothing in comparison to the relationship I have with his daughter.
He might understand. Perhaps he will see us together and it’ll click just how much we care about one another. Maybe he’ll accept that even though we went behind his back, it was for good reasons only. But it’s more likely that he’ll break down. That he’ll condemn us for the age gap between us, for me dating his daughter. I don’t want to make him angry, but I’m not backing down. She’s mine, perhaps even more than she’s his. She may be his daughter, but she’s my life partner. The only woman in the world that has ever given me unspeakable pleasure, and I know she feels the same way. Nothing can replace that bond or better it. She and I are bigger than all of this. No matter what happens with her dad, we will survive together. That’s the way it has to be.
I hold Elle close after making love to her one last time and she snuggles into me. I know she’s thinking the same thing I am, but we’re both putting off talking about it, about him. I sigh and kiss the top of her head. One of us is going to have to say something, and I guess it’s going to be me.
“We need to talk about your dad,” I grit out.
She sighs.
“I know he gets back from his vacation tomorrow. I don’t know how I’m going to face him. He's going to be so angry with me.”
“It’s not just down to you, we’re both in this together,” I tell her with conviction, holding her protectively. “Maybe we can show him how serious we are.”
“How, though? All he will see is that we’ve been together less than a week. That we’ve taken risks, and now we’ve got a baby on the way. There’s also the age gap, which I don’t care about. But I know the way he thinks, and he won't understand how special this thing between us is…”
“I know,” I sigh, rubbing her back. “It’s not fair. He’s going to condemn us before he even understands us but maybe we can hold off telling him? We could date for a few months to prove to him that this isn’t something passing and then tell him.”
“But I’m going to be living here. How can we keep that a secret from him when he’ll be next door? And our baby…eventually, I’ll start showing and I’ll have to confess that I kept it from him. He will put two and two together and realize how long this has been going on. No, I don’t think we can do that. And I can’t lie to him. I don’t want to.”
I nod in understanding. She’s such a good person.
She’d rather put herself in the firing line by being honest, and I respect that. She’s so damn brave. And when she faces up to reality, she won’t be alone. I squeeze her as I hold her.
“Okay. We can tell him. When he gets back tomorrow, we’ll come clean right away. It might be hard, but you’re right. It’s the right thing to do. And what’s the worst that can happen? You’re his daughter, he can’t hold a grudge against you forever.”
