h me on my back and Riley sliding down my body to take me into her mouth. She licked the tip, swirling her tongue over the slickness as I groaned. Riley pressed down, taking me all the way inside as I groaned her name. She worked magic with that mouth. I let her work me to the edge before easing her off to get a condom. I asked her to wear her glasses as I took her, and she spread her legs with a nod. I took her hard and deep as she cried out, gripping my shoulders. We rocked together like a couple that had been together for longer than we had. I moved into her, feeling her tighten as she arched her back. “Nathan.”
“Come for me, Riley,” I begged her as I felt myself harden, fitting tighter in her. She jerked and cried out, flooding me as I released inside of the latex.
We parted, and I went to the bathroom to clean up. I walked back to the bed to see her already under the covers and curled up against a pillow. She smiled at me and I joined her, clicking on the monitor before I pulled her close for another kiss.
Chapter 17: Riley
I kissed Nathan goodbye the following morning when his driver came to pick him up. I didn’t even know that he had a driver before this. Ella waved at him from the window and then came over to finish stacking her blocks. I joined her, trying not to think about the long day ahead of me. I cleaned up the dishes before we left to go to a kid’s museum for the day, having a blast chasing after her before we went to a pizza place for lunch. It was late after that and I reluctantly drove home, so she could nap. There was pizza left over for dinner and I tried to look forward to a night of movies with Ella.
I wasn’t into jealousy and insecurity. It wasn’t something that I’d ever felt before. I carried her in and took her to her room before fetching the box from the car and putting it into the fridge. I grabbed some water and walked outside to look over the ocean and long stretch of beach. I reminded myself how lucky I was to have this. All of this.
I sat on the deck and enjoyed the weather for a while. I’d probably go to sleep with Ella tonight since I was tired from the late nights with Nathan. I also didn’t want to think about him being out. I should be happy to have some time to myself since that had been rare lately.
That’s the spirit.
I went in and grabbed my Kindle to read outside along with one of the receivers for the monitor. It was a book about a dramatic relationship full of twists and turns and I felt lucky that I didn’t have that. We were just hooking up at this point. So, would it get that way? I wanted as much peace for Ella that we could give her. Fighting wasn’t going to help that at all.
I kind of knew what it felt like to be a step parent in this moment. In this case, there was no birth mom, and that was probably a good thing. It was just confusing to date a father when you spent so much time with his daughter. It was the complex process of falling for them at the same time in different ways.
I read until I heard Ella stirring, carrying the Kindle inside before I went to get her. We had a snack and went down to the beach for the afternoon to play for hours. I brought her back up to the house for seconds on pizza, sitting at the table as I sipped wine. I wasn’t going anywhere, and the house was locked up.
We moved to my room, and I turned on a movie, listening to Ella as I half-watched and read the book. The air was strong outside and I could smell the salt as I tried to not look at the clock on my Kindle.
Ella fell asleep at the beginning of the second movie and I picked up my phone to text my sister. We chatted a bit, and she asked how things were with Nathan. I told her how he was out tonight, and she assured me that I shouldn’t worry. He was a successful businessman with a lot of acquaintances and friends and needed to decompress. It was flattering to me that he trusted me enough to go out at all.
I knew she was right and didn’t mention it again as we discussed meeting again next week. Jada and Ally were asking to see me again even though they were so distracted with Ella that I barely got a hug. They also wanted to play with Ella and I glanced at her with a smile. I wanted to plan something where we could stay the night there or them here, but I was not at that comfort level yet.
I told her I’d call her on Monday and we could make plans, feeling a little tired. I shut off the lights and closed my door, turning the TV to something for me as I tucked us under the covers. I listened to the waves over the muffled voices and thought about how great this job was for me.
I woke up in the morning to the sun, blinking. Ella was sleeping with her feet poking my ribs and I looked around to see that my room looked the same. Where was Nathan?
I got up slowly and left the room, making sure that she was still sleeping. I walked through the kitchen and noted that everything was just like last night. My heart dropped as I imagined him at some woman’s house and I breathed in slowly. I walked upstairs and through the locked gate, scared to look in his room. Did I have the right?
I noticed that his door was open and peered inside to see him sleeping across the bed. His laptop was out, and I heard his TV as I smiled with relief. I was so glad that he was home. I knew that I needed to go back down and wait for Ella to wake up, giving him a chance to sleep in. I had no idea how late he was out.
I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to make coffee. I poured a cup and set it down to look in at Ella, who was stirring under the covers. I walked over and sat beside her, stroking her hair as she looked around the room.
“Hey, kiddo. You’re in my room again. You fell asleep watching a movie.” She rubbed her eyes and moved to lay in my lap, asking for Nathan. “He’s sleeping in his room. Let’s stay down here so he can get some sleep, okay?”
We made our way to the kitchen as I sipped some coffee. I asked her if she was hungry and she only wanted a banana with her milk. I got that for her and took her to the playroom, leaving the food at the picnic table inside. We played dolls and blocks in between bites of her food and sips of my coffee. It was fun, but I was anxious waiting for Nathan to wake up.
He wandered into the playroom about an hour later, freshly showered. He explained that he went to work out given how long it had been after making sure we were fine. Nathan sipped coffee and sat by Ella, helping her with a puzzle. I felt his eyes on me a few times as I cleaned up one corner but kept my attention focused on the mess.
We went out to have lunch, and I fixed Ella a sandwich and cut up some apple. I asked Nathan if he wanted anything and he mentioned the pizza in the fridge, asking if he could have some of it. I told him yes and made myself a sandwich since I didn’t eat breakfast.
When we were seated, I asked if he had fun. I saw the look that crossed his face and sighed.
“It was good to see the guys again. We had a good dinner and some drinks at a sports bar we liked.” I nodded and tore at my sandwich, hating myself in that moment. “Riley?”
“I’m sorry. I don’t know how to act or feel right now.” I admitted as he reached a hand out to cover my hand.
“It’s okay. I didn’t drink too much and when I got home, the two of you were sleeping. I decided to let you.” I looked into his eyes, seeing that the decision had bothered him. He really did want me last night. His eyes promised something to me and he pulled me into his room when Ella took her nap.
“Nathan,” I protested softly as he pulled my pants down and told me to get on my knees.
“I want to show you how much I wanted you last night,” he murmured as I moved for him. “I was so hard thinking of you on the drive home.” He tore open a condom, and I felt him behind me, inside of me. I gasped, needing this. “Do you feel me, Riley?” I could only whimper in return as he moved hard. Nathan fucked me as I rocked with him, needing him deeper. I wanted to scream when I came but held it on, pressing my face into a pillow to muffle my cries. We dropped down together on the mattress with our bodies entangled, both of us listening for Ella.
“Thank you,” I told him as he reached out to stroke my hair.
