“Sure, I’ll do it.” He hands her to me, and I kiss Clover’s cheeks. “Did you have fun with Daddy last night?”
“Not as much fun as her mommy had.” He laughs and walks out of the room.
“Damon!” I follow him right into his bathroom, where he’s putting on deodorant. As he styles his hair, I sit on the toilet with Clover in my arms.
“Stop overthinking it, Adeline. I can hear your thoughts from here.” He doesn’t move his gaze away from what he’s doing in the mirror.
“I just need to make sure we’re on the same page.”
He taps Clover’s nose and pulls back, then moves forward, and she thinks it’s the funniest thing ever.
“Can we focus?” I ask.
He sighs. “I’m not going to have sex with anyone else if that’s what you’re concerned about.”
He walks back out into the bedroom.
I groan and follow, going to sit on the edge of his bed. “Does it change things for us?”
He drops the towel and pulls on his boxers, no shame at all. I guess since I came all over said dick twice last night, what would be the point of being shy about it?
“No. We talked about it last night. We’re in this weird situation. We’re both horny as hell, so we might as well reap the benefits.” He shrugs as though it’s no big deal.
To him, maybe it isn’t. But I worry that my feelings are going to get entangled, not just my libido.
At the same time, what he’s saying kind of makes sense. When that guy hit on me last night, the idea of going back to his place to hook up didn’t sound appealing. At all. Then I came home and saw a shirtless Damon, and my libido revved right up. God help me.
“So, it was a one-time thing?” I just need to put boundaries on this whole thing in my mind.
“Do you want it to be a one-time thing?” he asks.
I glance over and see him buttoning up his dress shirt. Oh crap, he’s going to put on a suit. I might as well just find my vibrator right now.
“Well… last night was nice.” There, that sounded sort of noncommittal, right?
He pins me with a heated stare. “It was fucking hot, and I’m gonna be honest, I don’t think I’m done.”
I nod. “So, it’s roommates-slash-co-parents with benefits then?”
He comes over, his slacks open, his shirttails out, and squats in front of Clover and me. “You can call it whatever you want, but it’s us fucking.”
“Okay.” I’ve never had ongoing sex with someone without commitment before, but I can do it. Iwantto do it. I just don’t want to be hurt in the end. But the idea of Damon doing it with someone else… that hurts more.
He stands, tucks in his shirt, and does up his pants and belt. “I’ll see you at the game. Your mom coming to watch Clover?” He walks by me, kissing Clover’s hand quickly when she reaches for him. “Daddy has to go to work.” He grabs his suit jacket. “Clover, tell Mommy to put her tongue back in her mouth. Daddy gets penalized if he’s late.”
I pick up a pillow and throw it at him. “Shut up.”
He laughs, catching it and tossing it back on the bed.
“I hope those hands are just as good in today’s game.”
He raises his eyebrows at me and sets his suit jacket on the dresser, then rushes over and tickles me in the ribcage.
“Hey, I have your daughter here.”
“Just wait, the first touchdown is for you.” He winks, picks up his suit jacket, and kisses Clover on her cheek, then me on the lips. “To be continued,” he whispers, and my core clenches.
I follow him into the living area when the doorbell rings. Damon opens it before grabbing his game bag.
