Fuck this train of thought, I go to make myself a drink so I can get some words in on my new book when my doorbell starts going off like crazy.
“Can I help you?” I say rudely as I open the door. Oh shit, my eyes go wide and it’s Melissa, Carson’s daughter. “Shit, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you. Come in.”
Melissa grins at me and chuckles. “Bad day?”
“Um, you could say that I guess.”
“Spill it, tell me.”
I shake my head no. “You don’t need to know the drama going on with your dad and I. That’s just weird.”
“Girl, you’re my friend now, you can tell me anything, I swear.” It’s true, over the last few months we’ve gotten close, and I can honestly say for the first time ever, I have a friend besides Tomas.
So, I fill Melissa in on what’s been going on since that night at the clubhouse. Her eyes going wide. I, of course, leave out all the sex we’ve been having. But fill her in on my thoughts about having kids of my own. “I don’t want them. After watching your kids last week, and being around Emily, I just don’t want my own. Being a mother has never been a goal for me.”
Melissa grabs my hand and gives me a squeeze before letting go and sitting back against my couch. “My sister Cori was like you. Never wanted kids, but she and her husband now have a kid and are pregnant with twins at the moment. And she’s loving every second of it.”
I shake my head. “That’s different, though, I legit don’t want them. Carson is the man I’m, apparently, going to be with, according to him, and I still can’t see us having kids. We fought last night over this shit, and he hasn’t replied to me since.”
“Don’t give up, my dad is stubborn as hell, but he’ll come around. Though, I wouldn’t put it past him to keep trying to change your mind.”
That’s what I am worried about.

THREE HOURS LATER,Melissa leaves after we promise to make plans this weekend and I get to work on my book, but not even ten minutes into writing my prologue, Carson comes in, with a key he stole from me, with Emily in tow.
“Hey, what’s up?”
“Need your help, it’s my night with Em, but I have shit going down with one of my clubs and I gotta head out for the night. Do you mind watching her?”
My body locks up, and I look at Emily who is smiling sweetly at me, and back to Carson. “Um, yeah, sure. I’m not sure how much fun I’ll be but I don’t mind.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Justine. I’m ten, it’s not like I really need a sitter anyway,” Emily says, skipping to the living room.
“Come here, Justine,” Carson orders and I go to him. His hands grab my head and he brings his lips down to mine. “Stop pissing me off and open your mouth.” I open as his tongue slides inside, dancing with mine.
Pulling back, I look up at him and my heart stops. Holy fuck, I’m in love with him. “Be back soon as I can. Don’t know how long this will take but when I get back, be naked and waiting for me.”
“Dude, I ain’t gonna be naked with your kid here.”
He gives me a grin. “Thought you’d say that. Looking forward to punishing you.” With those words, he takes off, jogging to his house and hops on his bike.
“So, Emily, anything you want to do?”
“Nah, just do what you were doing, I’m okay playing video games on my tablet.”
“If you’re sure. There is a remote for the TV over on the table there,” I say, pointing to the end table. “And I do have a PS4 as well, with a few games you can get into if you want.”
“Thanks.” She gives me a smile and her tablet powers on. Alrighty then, I guess I’ll see if I can get some work done.
