“Laura is sleeping. Her morning sickness is more like midnight to five am sickness.”
“I’m sorry she is having a hard time,” I say and I mean it. Laura is one of the best people I know and my brother is lucky to have her in his life.
“I hear you. What do you need?”
“I met someone,” I need to get to the point before he loses interest.
“And?”
“What is the difference between love and lust?”
Xander chuckles. “The fact that you have to ask me means you’re already fucked brother.”
“I only met her this week,” I protest.
“It takes a minute to like someone, an hour to love someone, but a lifetime to forget someone. Nothing works on a set timeline.”
And then he hangs up.
Chapter Seven
With some pep in my step
Cassandra
I never understood what other women meant when they said that an orgasm could do wonders for one’s disposition. But I get it now.
I haven’t been able to stop smiling since I walked out of Lucian’s apartment. I slept like the dead and my mood is the best it has been in years. Yes, I said years. Before last night, I had only been with Darren, Tyler’s dad, my ex-husband. Sex was just another thing we ticked off on our list of chores. It was mechanical. Darren also hated going down on me and he made it very clear so I never enjoyed it.
But what Lucian did last night was fantastic. I can’t wait to do more with him. I mean, if a single oral orgasm has blown my only other sexual experience out of the water, I can’t imagine what actual sex would be like.
Pushing the stroller down Main Street in Severn, I smile at my babbling son. The sun is shining and I just found a vacant premises that will be perfect for my veterinary practice. The estate agent is already drawing up the rental contract for me to sign. This day is already one of the best since moving here and it’s not even noon yet.
A woman with bright red hair smiles at me where she stands on the sidewalk and I can’t help but return the smile.
“Hi,” she says as I approach.
“Hello.”
“Are you new in town?” she asks. “Sorry, I’m a little forward. But it’s a small town so I know most people.”
I laugh at her explanation. “Yes. I moved here about a month ago.”
She claps her hands before opening the glass store door behind her and yelling inside.
“Fresh meat!”
It only takes a moment for a short and curvy dark-haired woman to make her way outside.
“A baby!” she almost yells, bouncing in her excitement. “Can I hold him?”
I’m shocked and it must show on my face. Coming from the big city people are rarely friendly and never like this.
“Dude,” the redhead admonishes. “Introduce yourself before you try to steal the woman’s kid.”
“This is Dana,” a male voice I know too well says from behind me. “And the crazy one is Mercedes.”
I look over my shoulder to see Lucian smiling down at my son
