Mac’s heart skipped over itself in his chest, and he forgot how to breathe again.
This one was real.
This wasn’t a passionate slip of words. This was sweet and real, and Mac’s eyes brimmed over with tears again.
“Oh, Artie,” he whispered back, as if it was a beautiful secret, “I love you too.”
“I can’t believe it.” Artie grinned. “I’m the luckiest son of a bitch in the whole wide world. I never had any clue when I found that portal in Em’s closet that it was gonna change my whole damn life.”
Mac laughed as he stretched out on top of Artie’s broad chest, propping his chin over Artie’s heart. “Yeah, who knew the monster in Em’s closet was going to be the fucking love of my life?”
“I sure as hell didn’t, heh.” Artie rubbed Mac’s back slowly. “And for the record, just sayin’, I really wasn’t trying to scare you guys.”
“Portals everywhere, right?”
“Yeah! They’re all over the place. There’s portals in mirrors too, but those guys are kinda freaky.”
“Mirrors, huh? Sounds trippy.” Mac leaned up to kiss Artie’s cheek.
“Super trippy.” Artie smirked. “Kinda like, uh, Em finding out the monster in her closet is dating her dad?”
“She’s gonna love you.” Mac cleared his throat. “Once she gets to know you, of course. She’ll probably treat you like a giant teddy bear.”
“I hope so.” Artie suddenly looked shy. “I mean, you know I’ve never really dated much. Especially nobody with a kid. I have no idea what I’m doing except potentially creating a lot of future therapy for her. Heh.”
“Trust me. Her mother and I have given her plenty to talk to the therapist about.” Mac chuckled. “And I’ve never dated while having a kid. It’s all new and weird for me too. She might freak out at first, but I honestly think she’s gonna love you as much as I do. We’ll find something fun to do together.”
“Does she like to braid?” Artie grinned. “I feel like I’d be good for practicing braiding hair and stuff. Just give her a box of glittery barrettes and turn her loose.”
“She’d have a fucking blast with that. You might regret it though.”
“Nah. I mean, maybe.” Artie chuckled as he gently shifted his hips, pulling out his cock. He playfully rolled Mac onto his back with a smooch, ordering, “You stay here. Look sexy. And I’ll be right back.”
“Mm, I’ll do my best.” Mac stretched his legs, savoring the ache of his freshly fucked body. He watched Artie stumble into the bathroom, cringed when something fell, and he moved onto his side into a provocative pose.
Definitely channelingdraw me like one of your French girlsenergy.
Artie lumbered out with a towel in hand, but he stopped when he saw Mac stretched across the bed. He grinned. “God, look at you, baby. You’re so fuckin’ hot.”
“Thanks, baby.” Mac winked.
Artie crawled back into bed, rolling Mac onto his back. He wiped Mac down and peppered his thighs and hips with kisses. “Mm, to be a painter and capture all this hotness.”
Mac chuckled, lifting his legs so Artie could wipe underneath him. “You’re so very thoughtful.”
“I do try.” Artie smooched Mac’s stomach. “And hey, you know, no pressure about meeting Em, okay? Whenever you’re ready, I’m there, baby. But you know, maybe let me come out of the closet first or something? Maybe we can meet on the couch? I kinda hate for her to know the portal’s just in her closet and not anywhere else in the house.”
“That’s a good idea. Couch is a pretty neutral zone.”
“Totally!” Artie dropped the towel on the bedside table, and then he flopped back into bed beside Mac.
Mac snuggled into Artie’s side, and he reached for Artie’s big hand. “We’ll tell her you live in my closet now or something.”
“Yeah, that might work.” Artie cuddled in close. “I really don’t want her to be scared of me, you know?” He cringed. “I saw the drawings she did of me on the fridge.” He smacked his big belly. “It was not a kind portrayal.”
Mac frowned. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let her put that up on the fridge.”
“Hey, you didn’t know.” Artie nuzzled the top of Mac’s head. “You still thought I was just somethin’ in her imagination.”
