“Quit stressing, doll. He’s going to have fun.”
“Yeah. I know. I just need you to keep telling me that a few more times,” she says.
“How about I distract you instead…” I pull her into my arms and cup her cheek.
She looks up at me with a slight smile. “And how do you plan on doing that?”
Instead of using words, I crush my lips to hers and lift her up. She squeals a little at suddenly being lifted, then wraps her arms around my neck. I kiss her as I carry her to our bedroom. She kisses me back with just as much passion.
I set her on her feet, and she grips my shirt, pulling me down for another needy kiss. I grip her ass, pulling her close. She wriggles in my arms, rubbing her sexy body against mine. My cock hardens at the friction.
“Are you distracted yet?” I ask, brushing another light kiss over her lips.
“Getting there,” she pants.
“Guess I’ll have to try harder…”
She gives me a seductive smile. “Guess so…”
We spend the rest of the morning naked in bed. It’s the very best way to spend the morning. I can never get enough of her, and she’s just as hungry for me.

“Ready for boy’s day?”I ask Henry as I strap him into his car seat.
“Yeah!”
We’re going to the movies to see his favorite cartoon turned movie. Of course it wouldn’t be a boy’s day if we didn’t have enough ice cream to spoil dinner.
He excitedly watches the movie while scarfing down fistfuls of popcorn. When it’s over, he can’t stop talking about how awesome all the trains were and how he can’t wait to see it again. He barely stops talking to pick out his favorite ice cream, which is still vanilla with sprinkles.
“So buddy, I have a question for you.”
He looks up from his ice cream and waits.
“I want to marry your mommy, but I want to ask for your permission first.”
“Does that mean you’ll be my daddy?”
That question catches me off-guard. “Do you want me to be your daddy?”
“Yes,” he says simply, then goes back to eating his ice cream.
He just sits there eating while my whole life has been changed. Rearranged into something wholly new. Just because I’ve taken up the fatherly role in Henry’s life, I never expected him to want me as his daddy. Addy has made it a point to talk about William with Henry so that he knows who his dad was, even going so far as to put pictures up in his room.
Some men would be jealous of having another man’s pictures hanging on the walls, but I know how important it is for Addy to keep William’s memory alive for her son. I would never deny her anything she wants, especially when it means so much for Henry to know where he came from. I’m secure enough in our love that I don’t need to feel jealous.
Addy had a past love, one that she will always hold in her heart, and I can’t be mad at that. All the events that led up to her moving to Monett, including her life with William, brought her into my life, and I’m happier now than ever.
I wouldn’t change a thing… except that I want my ring on Addy’s finger. I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to ask, but I’m quickly learning there is no perfect time when you have a four-year-old around. Now that I have Henry’s blessing, it’s time to pop the question.
I call Marsha and arrange for her to babysit tonight. When I tell her why she’s more than happy to drop her plans and accommodate mine. She’s been an angel when it comes to helping with Henry. And he absolutely adores her. We are lucky to have her in our lives. I have a certain fondness for her after I found out how she encouraged Addy to follow her heart. She’s a good kid.
“What do you mean we are going to the club tonight?” Addy asks, surprised.
“Marsha will be here in thirty minutes. I thought we could use a little time for ourselves.”
“Thirty minutes! I can’t get ready in thirty minutes. I’m a mess.” She might feel like she’s a mess, but I think she’s gorgeous in one of my t-shirts and a tight pair of leggings that makes her ass look fantastic.
