Chapter 21

Kendall

I’m just as growly as Finn was this morning when he came into the kitchen and tried to press his lips to my throat. Well, he wasn’t growly until I pushed him away from me and gave him a look that said I didn’t want him anywhere near me.

The man has no tact whatsoever. Surely, he saw Kason and Knox at the table. Maybe he just didn’t care.

Kason saw him, and when Finn muttered something about me being an unreasonable woman before walking away, I watched Kason narrow his eyes as he watched Finn leave the room with a scowl on his face. I turned away before my oldest son could shift that anger toward me.

Wren kept them up all damn night. Well, Kason and Kayleigh were still awake when I showed up with Finn at Wren’s place looking well and truly fucked if the look on Wren’s face spoke the truth. The man grinned at me before looking over my shoulder at the broody asshole plastered to my back. He knew exactly what we’d been up to. Despite Finn pulling a t-shirt on, he opted to ride the elevator with the outline of his cockhead pressing against those damn gray sweats.

My body throbs, sore in the best way possible for what we did last night, and I can’t imagine how I’d feel if I actually gave in to his request and went at it for another round. I would’ve had to crawl to Wren’s apartment to get my kids, and that would earn me more than narrowed eyes and a nasty scowl from Kason.

Grumpy Finn stalked out of the condo without another word mere minutes after I rejected his affections in the kitchen earlier, and after breakfast, I convinced the kids to take a nap. Knox didn’t sleep, but he sat quietly with Kason’s tablet as the twins tried to catch up on what they missed.

After their nap, and regretting not lying down myself, I got them dressed and headed out for a little shopping.

I was utterly distraught after leaving the private dance room last night. I knew I’d never be able to do that for men I don’t know. I didn’t even come out of a single part of my uniform for Finn, and I still felt like my nerves were exposed. I don’t fault anyone working in any part of the sex industry. Women have beautiful bodies, and if they’re comfortable sharing some parts of those—or even all—I say go for it. I just can’t go that far myself.

Lily, another one of the dancers caught me crying in the changing room, and on a series of sobs, I dropped all my problems at her feet. I told her about losing the apartment, and not having anywhere to go. I cried through telling her about my need for more shifts, but how impossible it was for me to take those shifts considering what would be expected of me. I even mentioned Finn and how damn sexy he was.
