Chapter 14

I have the best time with Aileen’s kids. They’re fun and funny and polite. They scream when a game goes their way and laugh it off when it doesn’t. They ask the best questions and never stop talking the whole time we’re playing. We take a short break to go down to the garage so they can sit in each of the cars. We stop in the kitchen for some ice cream before returning to the game room. They try every game at least once, and I enjoy teaching them the finer nuances of each one.

Aileen lets out a squeak that gets my attention. “Oh my God! It’s almost ten! We have to go.”

“Not yet, Mom,” Logan says without taking his eyes off the screen. He’s on a roll with a driving game and is racking up an impressive score.

“You guys finish up the games you’re playing,” I tell them. “You can come back any time you want.” With them happily occupied, I take their mother by the hand and lead her out of the room.

“You’re incredibly good with them,” she says.

“Am I? Really?”

“Really.”

“They’re great kids. I’ve had the best time with them.”

“Thank you.”

“You don’t need to thank me for having fun with your kids. I love being with them, almost as much as I love being with their mom.” I prop an arm over her head and pin her to the wall with my body. “I’ve thought about last night all day today. It’s all I’ve thought about.”

Her gaze drops to my mouth. “Me, too.”

Because I can’t wait another second to kiss her, I bring my lips down on hers.

Her hands slide up from my chest to meet behind my neck, her fingers combing through my hair in a soothing caress that makes me crazy for more of her. “Stay here tonight. I have plenty of room for you guys. We’ll put the kids to bed and have some time for us.”

“We can’t do that.”

“Why not?” I cradle her sweet face in my hands, compelling her to look at me. “The kids would love it. I even have extra toothbrushes and T-shirts they can sleep in.” I bend my head to nuzzle her neck. “I’m dying to hold you and kiss you and touch you, and I don’t want you driving home at this hour.” I feel her capitulation in the way she draws me closer.

“I can’t sleep with you.”

“I know.” I kiss a path from her collarbone to her ear and then roll her earlobe between my teeth. “Stay.”

“If you’re sure it’s no problem—”

Elated to know we’ll have more time together, I kiss the words right off her lips. “It’s no problem.” I release her and will my raging erection into submission so I can face the kids without embarrassing myself. “Hey, guys,” I call into the game room. “Your mom says you can stay over tonight.”

“Yes!” Logan fist-pumps the air above his head.

“But you have to go to bed as soon as those games are done.”

He gives that news a thumbs-down but doesn’t protest any further.
