The fact she’s going to swallow sends me over the edge. I pump into her mouth until I come so hard I fear I might blackout.
“Holy shit, that was a religious experience.”
She cleans me with her tongue and tucks me back into my pants. I pull her up and wrap my hand around the back of her neck, kissing her with everything I’m feeling, tasting myself on her tongue.
“Time to go home.” I bend and pick up my jacket, taking her hand, and head to the street to flag down a cab.
She giggles. “What about the others?”
“They’re all adults. We have an empty apartment, and our baby isn’t there to disturb us. Why would we stay at a club?”
A cab stops, and I open the door, practically shoving her into it. I just hope I can keep my hands off her until we get inside our apartment because she’s quickly becoming an obsession.
Chapter25
Adeline
It’s already mid-season, and Thanksgiving is almost here. Clover is growing so fast, I want time to slow down. She’s laughing and smiling and eating well. She’s a happy child, and I hope that’s because of Damon and me being able to coexist even if we’re not a couple.
That topic couldn’t be more complicated now. I sleep solely in his bed, where we have sex almost every night except when he’s gone for away games. There are the other times too, when Clover goes down for a nap and he traps me on the couch. Or when my mom insists on taking Clover for the night and we sit around practically naked and order in takeout.
The problem now is that itfeelsas if we’re a couple, but we haven’t had a conversation about it. Neither of us has confessed how we feel about the other, though it seems obvious in our actions.
I’m upstairs at Bryce’s place because Damon has asked me to go out to dinner with him, and I need to borrow something. He told me he has something he wants to tell me tonight, and I want to make sure I look good. I had plans to go shopping, but Clover caught a cold earlier this week, and I couldn’t take her out with me.
Tonight is also Miles and Bryce’s first time babysitting Clover.
“I sure hope Damon’s got his shit together, and he’s going to confess his undying love for you tonight,” she says to me from inside the walk-in closet. She comes out holding a gorgeous black dress that wraps to one side, leaving a nice slit in the middle. “This is the one.”
“I love it,” I gush because it’s perfect.
“Great! Try it on.”
I take the dress and go into their bathroom. Miles is downstairs with Damon, and I can only imagine the level of instructions Damon’s giving him on taking care of Clover. I feel bad for Miles.
I don’t want to say anything to Bryce, but I feel the same as her. I hope that whatever Damon’s reason for taking me out tonight, it has something to do with us. At first, I was really scared at how close we were becoming, but my feelings have become too strong to turn back now without knowing what we could be. There’s no denying that I want to be with him as more than just his co-parent or baby mama. I want to be on his arm as his girlfriend. I want us to commit to each other.
I emerge from the bathroom, and Bryce claps, smiling wide. “Perfect. You’re going to leave him speechless. Do you have heels?”
I nod.
“I’m so excited for you. With Miles, I was more the idiot, like Damon. But Miles won me over, and I couldn’t deny how I felt anymore. I hope Damon has come to his senses like I had to.”
“I have no idea why he wants to have dinner,” I remind her because I’m trying not to get my hopes up. Maybe he’s really had it with Haze and wants us to find a new nanny.
“Stop being so pessimistic. Come on, let’s get you guys going.”
We walk down the cement steps, laughing about this boy in my class who asked me if Damon and I play catch a lot at home. Of course, Bryce had some way to make the comment sound dirty.
When we enter, it’s just as I guessed—Damon is telling Miles everything about Clover. “Here is her pediatrician’s number, but go to the ER if it’s bad. And I don’t mean Ellery, I mean go to the actual hospital.”
“I’m sure we’ll be fine.” Bryce says, sliding her arm around Miles’s waist.
“Don’t feed her more than what we listed. You call us if you have any questions.” Damon points at him.
“No, don’t call us.” I shake my head.
Damon finally notices me. His gaze roams up and down my body, and every nerve ending in me flares to life. His tongue licks his bottom lip. “Damn, you look stunning, Adeline.”
