LANE -

Now that Raegan and I had broken the proverbial seal, we let loose on one another. Anytime Braden and Kate were down for naps, we jumped all over each other. If they got sucked into playing a game in the nursery, we hid out in the master bathroom, devouring each other’s bodies. Since the kids had officially taken over the bed in the nursery, each night was much of the same for us. I couldn’t get enough. She couldn’t get enough. The past three days have been fucking phenomenal.

This morning I slipped out at breakfast time to catch a quick run. It was time I started doing more than just the exercises I had been doing around the apartment. Kate was just digging into her eggs and bacon when I swore I would return soon.

I decided to run the bridges, considering those would provide more flow of air than in the city, where the hot, muggy air became trapped amongst the buildings. I ran across the Brooklyn Bridge, up the East river, and cut back down the Manhattan Bridge. It didn’t take me long, but I should have been able to do it much faster.

I pushed through the door with my shirt draped over one shoulder. I wasn’t going to admit that I had taken it off on my way up the stairs because I liked the way Raegan ogled my body, but… it may have been a factor in my actions.

The alarm was still set when I walked in the door, which had made me feel better about leaving them behind for a just a little bit. I knew I couldn’t keep Kate in my sight twenty-four seven, so going for a run today was like ripping off a very painful Band-Aid. But the house was much too quiet for two kids. I sped into the kitchen and sighed in relief when I noticed Raegan’s handwriting on a piece of paper.

We’re just down at the playground. Come join us!

Her underlining the word ‘the’ meant she was at the playground she had refused to return to. I felt proud of her for making that effort, and I felt better about them being right around the corner instead of eight blocks away.

As soon as I shut off the spray of my shower, my phone started ringing. I knew who it was immediately by the ringtone—Audrey. I rushed to pull on my shorts and snatched up the phone before the last verse blasted through the bathroom.

“Hey, doll.”

“I miss you! Are you coming back yet?” she asked, not missing a beat. I smiled when I heard the happiness in her voice.

“I’m about ready. I know we’re all tired of being here.”

“So… all of you will be coming?”

“That’s my plan.”

“How are you getting along with Raegan?”

“Are we playing twenty questions, doll?” I laughed into the phone. “We’re all happy and Raegan and I get along great.”

“Oh God, what did you do?” She dropped her voice and said, “Lane…”

“What?” I chuckled. “I didn’t do anything…” Guilty was my middle name.
