But he kept his attention split between them and the steaks.
“Are you sure I can’t help you cook dinner?” Freya asked, standing in the shallow end of the pool, her nipples hard beneath her bikini top.
“Aye, lass, that I am. The potatoes will be done when the steaks are, and we’ve got a salad. It’s a perfect meal for us.”
“I should go in and make some noodles for Maddie. Come on, baby, let’s get you out and dry you off. Then I’ll make you some noodles.” She carried Maddie out of the pool and wrapped her up in a towel before putting her on one of the chairs so she could grab her towel.
“Has she ever had steak?”
Her mouth dropped open, and she sputtered, “Are you kidding me right now? Did you see where we were living? In what universe could I have afforded steak?”
“Fair point, lass. If you want to make her noodles, that’s fine. But I think we should have her try a piece of steak. I read that it’s good to introduce new foods every week to toddlers.”
“Wait, you’ve been reading about raising a toddler?” That got her undivided attention.
“Of course I have. You and Maddie are my responsibility now. I can’t do my job properly when I don’t know the first thing about raising a kid, let alone help you and know what to do. So, I read a parenting ebook or two over the past week.” A surfeit of expressions filtered over her face until she settled on pleased.
“Hmm,” was all she said as she picked Maddie up and her towel fell from her waist.
It gave him an unobstructed view of her killer ass. The blue material on the back end was little more than a strip of material covering her crease while leaving the bulk of her ass on display. He bit back a groan.
The woman was killing him here. If they were alone, he’d bend her over the table or maybe use one of the lounge chairs to lay her down and fuck her brains out.
On that note, “I think we should have dinner out here. It’s such a nice night. The fresh air will be good for all of us.”
“Okay. Give me a minute to get Maddie changed out of her suit and put the noodles on, then I can set the table out here.”
“I’ve got the table handled. You take care of Maddie,” he ordered, trying to drive home the fact that she didn’t have to do everything anymore. It was the reason he decided to cook tonight. Because he wanted to take a load off her shoulders.
“Okay, thanks. We’ll be fast. Those steaks smell amazing.”
“They’ll taste even better, lass,” he murmured, his gaze wandering over her body, and he knew the moment Maddie was asleep, he’d be putting the moves on his future bride.
Freya didn’t know what to think or feel after the last twenty-four hours. Jasper had eaten her out at the kitchen table and made her come harder than she ever had before. And she’d thought that maybe she could divulge the truth. That they might have a real future together, even if Jasper never loved her.
But then today, all his cousins appeared on their doorstep, including the FBI Agent. She’d almost had a heart attack. She’d thought for sure he would know the truth and kick them to the curb.
Instead, Jasper had been the soul of propriety. Announcing he’d handle dinner tonight. And early in the day, he helped her cart in all her new purchases when they arrived.
Freya had never owned this many clothes in her entire life. And designer? Forget about it. She had taken the hour Maddie had napped to put away all her new things. There was more than what she had tried on the other day. Significantly more.
There was a full selection of panties and bras in silky, soft material. There were nightgowns, slippers, garter belts, and pantyhose. And shoes. So many shoes in various colors, from flats to heels to sandals and tennis shoes. She didn’t know where she would ever wear them all. Especially since they were housebound for now, and she preferred to be barefoot.
Hey, at least she wasn’t pregnant.
And then there were the purses and the jewelry. Just how many functions would she be expected to attend with him this next year? She couldn’t possibly use everything he’d bought her. But then, she could take it all with her.
It was such a novel idea that it made her feel a bit like Cinderella, but without the mice and fairy godmother. And she didn’t have an evil stepmother. Although she had an evil ex, who was definitely a villain.
She changed Maddie first, putting on a new diaper and a cute sundress in a cheerful yellow with a pink heart on the chest. She loved it. She danced around, twirling the skirt and laughing while she did. Jasper had made Maddie so happy.
Those two were becoming thick as thieves. Maddie thought the sun rose and set with Jasper. She’d started looking for him upon waking. It made her heart warm watching their interaction. This big, bodybuilder Scot who kissed her blind and radiated more testosterone from his pinky than most men did from their entire body, had become a father figure for her daughter. He played with her and made her laugh.
And last night, he’d done more than kiss Freya’s lips. The kisses he’d given her had sent her flying to the moon and back. He’d eaten her pussy like her pleasure was the only thing keeping the Grim Reaper from their doorstep.
She couldn’t remember ever coming that hard nor having her pleasure put first as if it were of tantamount importance.
But that’s because Ian had been a selfish bastard along with being an abusive prick. When it had come to sex, it had been all about his pleasure. During their last year together, Freya could count on her hands the number of orgasms he’d given her.
