“Well, my son lives there, and so do you, and, well,” he says, standing straight. “You’re both mine.”
“You’re kidding, right?” I ask him but don’t give him a chance to answer. “This is insane.”
“For six years, you paid for everything. If you calculate it out, I owe you a shit ton more.”
“But he was my responsibility,” I tell him, and he cuts me off.
“And now he’s mine.” My glare must make him take it back. “Ours.”
I put my hand on my forehead. “This is just too much.”
“Not even close,” he says, and I look at him. “If it were up to me, you would be living here, and we wouldn’t have to go through this back and forth. But I’m trying to go easy.”
“This is you going easy?” I ask him, laughing.
“It’s as easy as I am going to go. Me and you, it’s happening. It should have happened after we got off the boat, but that’s my mistake. For seven years, I looked for you in every single room I entered. I looked for you in every single crowd, and finally, by the grace of I don’t know what, you have come back to me, so yeah. I’m going easy.”
“What if we aren’t the same people?” I ask him, a little afraid of the answer.
“I fell in love with you two days into a booze cruise. I’ve been with you for almost two weeks, and nothing has changed.” He now comes closer to me. “Well, some things have changed. You being a pain in my ass has.” My eyes go to slits.
“How can you be all romantic one minute, and then make me want to strangle you the next?”
He shrugs. “Must be my charm.” Now he comes to me, taking my face in his hands. “Now I’ve had a long day between the meeting with your father and then with the school. The fear of him being hurt and now having you in my house. I just want to take a shower and go to bed with you.” He comes closer. “Naked.” He kisses my lips. “Please.”
“Fine,” I say, pretending I’m annoyed, but I’m not. “Go take a shower, and I will give you a back rub to make you feel better.”
“That sounds amazing, but you know what sounds even better?” he asks me. “Burying my face in your pussy.” My mouth hangs open. “Meet you in ten,” he says, and just like that, he walks away from me.
I’m walking to his bedroom, tearing the robe off, when I hear Aiden call my name. “Mommmmmmm!”
I walk back to the room, pushing open the door. “Can I sleep with you?”
“Um,” I say to him, trying to think of an excuse.
“I don’t want Dad to feel bad, so we can all sleep in his room,” he says, getting off the bed and walking to Luca’s room. He climbs into the bed and goes to the middle and lays his head down on one of the pillows. I walk to the other side of the bed and pull over the huge thick cover and slide in with him. This is not how I thought my first time in Luca’s bed would be. His bed literally feels like you’re sinking into a cloud. I move the pillows, and Aiden rolls into my side. I put my arm around him and kiss his forehead, and he is already fast asleep. I hear the shower stop, and then I look over at Luca who comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Water droplets are still on him. His chest is so much more defined than on the cruise, and I can already see the outline of his cock.
“What just happened?” he asks me.
“He got scared and said we could all sleep in here,” I tell him, and he puts his head back and groans. “You need to go put boxers on.”
“Fuck,” he hisses out and goes to his walk-in closet and comes back out wearing black Hugo Boss boxers. He comes over and slips in on the other side of Aiden.
“My parents are going to watch him Saturday,” I tell him as he gets comfortable.
“How long did our longest marathon go?” he asks me, looking over, and I think back to the boat.
“Seven hours. I think. Or could be nine the last night,” I tell him.
“We are going for a record,” he says, shutting off the lights and leaning over to kiss Aiden. “Good night, little man,” he says and then leans across Aiden to me. “Good night, baby,” he says and gives me a soft kiss, and just like that, he wraps both Aiden and me in his arms, and I fall asleep in record time.
Chapter Nineteen
Luca
“If you don’t hurry, we are going to be late,” I tell Aiden this at the same time as I pop the last bite of toast in my mouth and put my coffee cup in the sink. He puts his spoon down and slides off the stool.
