“Gaby?”

“Noah?”

My hips froze in mid-thrust. “This can’t be happening.” I jerked my head off Gaby’s shoulder. “Not again.”

“How did they get back here?” Gaby panted.

As our eyes met, I said, “Your dad,” as she replied, “My dad.”

When the door handle jiggled, both Gaby and I screamed, “Don’t open that door.”

Thankfully, it stopped. “Are you guys okay?” Dad asked.

“Fine,” we both answered as we scurried around trying to get our pants back on. I didn’t even bother with my jammers. I just jumped into my pants. Gaby did take time to put her thong back on.

As we were putting our shoes on, AJ asked, “Why aren’t you guys coming out?”

“Just a second,” I replied.

There was a pause before AJ replied, “Fucking hell.”

Once Gaby and I were clothed, I threw open the door. This time Dad appeared just as disgusted as AJ. But I had a feeling it was more about me not showing up to my events than the fact I was screwing in the massage therapy room.

“What the fuck is going on, Noah?”

“What does it look like, Aidan?” Mom’s voice asked from behind him.

“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath. It was one thing for Dad to catch me in a post-sex haze, but the last thing I wanted was for Mom to see.

Peering around Dad, I saw that Mom and Mia were standing in the archway of the locker room.

Dad huffed. “I’m aware of what was going on in the massage room. I was speaking about what was going on with him flushing his swimming career down the toilet.”

I stepped forward to stand in front of Dad. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’ve decided to stop swimg competitively.”

Dad stared at me with an anguished expression. “Why, son?”

Turning back, I smiled at Gaby. “I fell in love, and I want to make a life with Gaby.”

“Can’t you do both?” Dad argued.

“No, I can’t. I don’t want to spend a moment without her. I want her to be the first thing I see in the morning and the last at night. I want to give her everything I have.” I gave Dad a pointed look. “Because she’s worth the effort.

His eyes widened in acknowledgement of what I’d said. With a quick nod, he then said, “Then I’m happy for your decision, son.”

My mouth dropped open in shock. “You are?”

“Of course, I am. All I’ve ever wanted for you is to be happy.” He glanced over my shoulder to smile at Gaby. “And I know she makes you very happy.”

“She does.”

“Then I say congratulations are in order.” He cocked his brows at AJ. “Don’t you?”

“I suppose so.” When Gaby elbowed him in the ribs, he sighed, but his expression softened. “I couldn’t be happier for the two of you.”

“Really?” I prompted.

Although AJ looked like he wanted to tell me fuck no, he smiled instead. “Yeah, I really am.”
