The thoughts start running through my mind; did he date her? Did they have sex; we haven’t even had sex yet?
“I’m great. I just came home to visit my family before I have to hop on a plane and head back to New York. You’re looking good; still playing soccer, I take it.” My grip tightens on Pixy’s leash when Chloe licks her lips as she looks him over.
I move in close to Chance. That’s when she finally looks at me and my daughter. “Is this your kid?” she asks him, again ignoring me.
Chance sighs. “This is my girlfriend, Laken, and this adorable kiddo is her daughter, Ava.”
“Girlfriend? You don’t date.”
He shrugs and then smiles at me. “I do now. I finally found someone worth dating.” Chance punctuates his words by wrapping his arm around my waist and smiling at me.
She looks between us then pins her glare on Chance. “Hmm … see ya around.”
We watch her walk away, and then I look up at him, raising a brow. “I never touched her.”
I shake my head. “You don’t owe me an explanation.”
“I know. I’m no choir boy, but I haven’t been with anyone since I met you.” Why do I like him saying that?
“Okay. If we’re talking about this there’s only been one other person … I mean I know we haven’t done anything yet.”
Chance chuckles and then bends down, kissing my lips. He moves away and drops a kiss to Ava’s forehead. And. I. Swoon.
We arrive at Chance’s parents’ house, and Ava yawns sleepily. I take her from Chance and carry her into the guest bedroom. I get her hair brushed out and braided then slip her nightgown on. Once her teeth are brushed we head out to the living room where everyone is sitting.
Ava runs right to Chance and crawls in his lap. He wraps his arms around her, hugging her tight. “Are you all ready for bed?”
“I’m not tiwed.” She leans back against his chest and yawns.
I sit on the floor next to them, resting my head on his shoulder. It doesn’t take long before she’s out. “I can take her.”
“No, I’ve got her.”
Chapter Twelve
Chance
“Do you want to go for a walk with me?” We just put Ava to bed; man, that little girl has me wrapped around her finger already. She’s so dang sweet, and I love watching her and Laken together. It’s obvious how much daughter loves mother, and vice versa.
“Will it be okay with your parents?” She looks up at me with those pale blue eyes.
I reach out, cupping her cheek, and stroke her smooth, soft skin. “Of course, they won’t care. We’re just going to walk down to the beach. I’ll have my phone just in case she wakes up.”
Of course, when we go out to the living room my parents basically push us out of the house. They promise to call if Ava wakes up. Hand in hand I lead her out of the back gate, and we make our way over to the beach.
We kick off our shoes and step onto the sand. The night is clear, and the breeze feels good. Twelve yards away from the edge of the water, we sit. “Tell me what you were like when you were younger?” I don’t miss the way her body stiffens, but then just as quickly Laken relaxes.
“I was pretty quiet. On the shy side for sure, but I loved to read and even used to dabble in writing. What about you?”
“Um … well, I was pretty popular. I was a member of the National Honor Society, captain of the soccer team, prom king…” Laken covers my mouth with her hand and surprises me by throwing her leg over me so she’s straddling my lap.
“You and I we’re so different.” She holds my face in her hands. Fuck, she’s so beautiful.
I don’t think she even realizes how much we really do fit. “So what, I think that makes us work even better.”
Laken leans down, kissing my lips. I let her control the kiss, digging my fingers into the sand to keep from touching her. My dick hardens from her grinding on me.
I can’t take it any longer. I need to put my hands on her and feel her soft skin. I grip her right above the waist of her jean shorts and just under her shirt.
She lets me control the motions, and she moans into my mouth. My tongue licks at hers, and then we dance. Fuck, I love kissing her. I could do this for hours and never get tired of it.
My hand slides under her shirt, and I pinch her nipple through the silk of her bra. Laken whimpers and cries out. She’s so damn responsive to my touch; I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when I finally have my cock buried inside her.
“Why won’t you let me make you feel good too?” she asks quietly, biting her lip as she reaches between us, palming my hardened flesh. As much as I’d enjoy her jerking me off, I’d rather be inside her the first time she makes me come.
“I want to be inside you the first time I come with you.” Even in the moonlight I can see her cheeks turn that adorable shade of pink.
“Oh,” she whispers.
I help her off of me and stand, taking a minute to adjust myself. I look up, and I don’t miss that Laken’s eyes are on my dick, but hey—I’m not going to stop her from looking at the goods.
This is the longest I’ve gone without sex, but fuck… When it happens, it’s going to be fucking epic.

The scent of bacon hits me, causing my stomach to growl loudly. I climb out of bed, throw on some shorts and a t-shirt before I head into the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a piss. After I wash my hands, I follow the scent into the kitchen and find my mom and dad making
