“Great. Busy, just like everyone else.”
The familiarity with which Evan handed Hope a beer without even asking her what she wanted struck him.
Yeah, there is definitely something going on between them.
Steve was going to flip the fuck out when he found out.
Aiden knew one thing for sure—he wasn’t going to be the one to tell him.
“How are the girls?” Evan asked as he twisted the cap off his bottle and pocketed it.
“They’re good. They’re in Wisconsin this weekend, visiting Susan’s parents at the lake.”
Evan paused with the bottle at his lips to ask, “Kailey’s going to be a senior this year?”
“Fuck no. A sophomore. She just got her learner’s permit. Don’t age me like that yet.”
“What about you, Dakota?” Hope asked. “Do you have kids?”
In his head, he saidnoon her behalf. So, it took him aback when he heard her answer. “I do. A daughter. But I’m actually a grandma.”
“Whoa. Whoa. Whoa,” he found himself saying. “Hold on. You’re agrandma?”
“Yep,” she smiled brightly. “My grandson, Asher, is three.”
He wanted to ask, “how old are you?” but knew better. He’d seen her naked. She was no grandma.
“My daughter and son-in-law live in my guest house, so I get to see him all the time.”
“I bet you love that,” Hope replied.
Maybe her daughter was a teen mom.
Then she said. “I do. It was only supposed to be until they finished college, but they both graduated last year, so I’m hoping they just forgot.”
Doing the math in this head, he realized there was a broad span of what her age could be. He guessed by her lack of wrinkles and how hot her body was that it was on the lower side of the scale.
So, it was Dakota who’d been the teen mom.
Her sassiness made more sense. He bet she’d scrapped and scraped for everything she had accomplished as a single mom, making him like her even more.
He pulled her back against him while wrapping his arms around her middle, then kissed her temple. Hope and Evan exchanged a knowing smile, and Aiden didn’t even give a shit what they thought of his PDA.
Dakota looked back at him with quizzical brows. He couldn’t tell her what he was feeling, so he smirked before whispering in her ear, “You’re a GILF.”
She rolled her eyes and shook her head, then returned her attention to the conversation with his colleagues.
Aiden only half-listened; the flowery smell of her hair and the warmth of her body as he continued holding her were far more interesting.
When he finally got her alone, the first words out of her mouth were, “I guess that makes you a DILF.”
If she thought she was insulting him, she was sorely mistaken.
“Whenever and as often as you want, Sunshine,” he murmured as he planted his lips on hers.
