“Do you want kids one day?”
Her eyes bulge. “How long have we been dating again?”
“Long enough for me to see a future with you.”
Her lips part, and a delicate puff of air escapes in a rush. “Putting it all out there tonight, aren’t you?”
“You showed me some of your worst tonight, and I’m still here, holding you and desperate to get inside you again. Into your heart and body.”
She’s silent for a few long seconds.
A frisson of unease threatens to bubble from my gut, but it quickly fizzles as her expression morphs into sheer radiance. “Cal, to be honest, I haven’t considered it much. It’d be foolhearted to imagine something that permanent and meaningful when I’ve spent the last fifteen years pushing everyone away.”
She pauses and gulps. There’s a slight tremble in the hand she’s wrapped around my neck.
I patiently wait for her to finish, sensing intrinsically she has more to say on the topic. Perhaps it’s wishful thinking on my part.
“And now,” she begins, moving her mouth closer until her lips graze over mine, “it seems not only possible but probable.”
“I’m just asking this flat-out. We’re being open and honest, right?”
She nods.
“If this thing with us works out the way I bet it will, would you consider having my babies one day?”
Her body tenses, and she lifts off my lap. My heart stutters to a stop.
Then she jolts it back to life when she says, “Yes. And maybe we should go practice.” She winks. “Just in case.”

Whack a mole
MIA
The shrill sound of my phone alarm wailing startles us awake.
“Why? Why?Whyyy?” I slap at the bedside table, my flailing arms sending the little sleep killer flying to the floor.
God speed, phone.
But the incessant beeping doesn’t stop, thus drawing another round of me whining, complete with a tantrum-style punch to my pillow. “Aw, man. We just fell asleep a minute ago.”
Cal kisses my bare shoulder and dives over me to swipe my phone from the floor. Is he part dolphin?
“My hero,” I coo as he hands it to me.
“Eh, it wasn’t for you so much as it was to avoid waking my mother. Last thing we need is for her to come in here all confused and catch us naked.”
After I tap the screen to silence the phone, I glance down our bodies and notice that we are, in fact, still naked. Our bedtime sexcapades were quite exhausting, and I passed out minutes after my third orgasm.
Now that my vision has come into focus, the alert on my phone screen is legible.
And it’snotgood news.
My heart seizes. “Oh no. Son of a bitch. Not again.”
Was it too much to hope for a flash sale onAmazon?
