“I like the way you think.”

“Let me ask Sebastian.”

“I’ll take care of that. Now, let’s see if you have one more orgasm to give me,” I said as I turned her, pulling her back against my chest. My hand traveled down her stomach to the spot between her legs that needed me most.

Her head fell back against my shoulder as I worked her over. I sucked on her skin, wanting to mark her. I couldn’t imagine waking up without her or showering by myself. It hadn’t taken long for her to infiltrate my life completely.

When she moaned, I kissed her, building her up quickly and reveling in her falling apart in my arms. I’d always be there to catch her. I just hoped she’d realize that.

We washed quickly after that, worried that Addy would wake up and look for us. Sarah dressed first, kissing me before going to check on her.

The sheets on my bed were tousled, and I was positive they smelled of sex. I’d never invited a woman back to my house, and I didn’t think I’d like having anyone in my space. But Sarah had proven me wrong. By the time I made it downstairs, my girls were cooking in the kitchen. “It smells amazing.”

“It’s the bacon,” Addy said, her hair tousled and her pajamas wrinkled.

“Did you sleep good?” I asked her, wishing we were at the point where I could hug her good morning. I’d let her take the lead on our relationship.

“It’s so quiet here,” she said to me.

“There are no cars or sirens to wake you up here,” I said.

Sarah smiled. “It’s like being on vacation. I love it.”

My home felt warmer somehow. And it wasn’t just the decorations or the trees; it was their presence. The love and light they brought to it. I never wanted to let them go, but I knew we weren’t in a place where I could ask them to move in.

I made coffee while they finished cooking the bacon and eggs. Then Sarah cut the bacon into small pieces and mixed them with the scrambled eggs.

“This looks good. Thank you,” I said when she put my plate in front of me. She leaned down to kiss me, and it was the most natural thing in the world to do. But then we both tensed, remembering that Addy was watching us.

“Are you kissing?” Addy asked, disgust evident in her tone.

Sarah straightened. “Does that bother you?”

Addy’s nose wrinkled. “I don’t like it.”

I had a feeling this didn’t have much, if anything, to do with me and her mom kissing. “Do you mind if I date your mother? Because I really like her.”

Addy frowned. “Do you have to kiss in front of me?”

“Sometimes, we’ll want to.” I wasn’t sure I’d be able to control myself around her, but I could keep it tame.

“You know, other moms and dads kiss. Maybe you just aren’t used to seeing it because I’ve always been single,” Sarah said gently.

“Yeah, maybe.” Addy was quiet for a few seconds, thinking about what her mother said. Finally, she looked up at me and said, “I like you, Knox.”

“I like you, too, Addy.” I more than liked her. It was so easy to love this little girl. She was vibrant and happy and just wanted to be loved back. Why her father couldn’t see that, I wasn’t sure. I suspected he was an asshole. He had to be to let these two go. “We’ll try not to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.”

She frowned but said, “Yeah, okay.”

She was in that stage where she was uncomfortable with seeing anyone kiss, whether it was in a movie or in person. Part of it was her age, and the other was she wasn’t used to seeing it. I hoped we’d normalize it for her.

She should know and see what love is. I intended to show Sarah how I felt about her every day, whether that was holding hands, hugging, or kissing. I wouldn’t go too far in front of Addy. But she should see others giving and receiving affection.

We ate breakfast, the moment forgotten for now. I’d have to be more careful in front of Addy. It was so natural to be with them it slipped my mind that we hadn’t discussed the situation with her first.

When we finished eating, we cleaned up. “Do you have plans for today?” I remembered that last weekend, she spent a day with her family.

“We’ll probably catch up on cleaning and laundry. Grab some groceries.”
