Chapter Twenty-Four

Aaron

The morning sunshine filtering through the curtains wakes me up to a warm body pressed against my morning wood. A grown woman’s body, her luscious ass cradled in my lap, my arm wrapped around her middle.

Lifting my head, I marvel at the fact that Sam’s cuddled against me, asleep. I’m not sure how this happened, but sometime between stripping down to my boxer briefs and climbing in bed with my daughter as a buffer between Sam and me, we got all shifted around so Sam’s in the middle, one of her arms over Maddie, and one of my arms over her.

I feel like I should probably withdraw slowly, so as not to wake them up, and at least put my jeans on. At the very least, pull my hips away from her rather than grinding my hard-on against her ass like I really want to.

But I don’t do either of those things. I remain frozen in this moment. I could really get used to waking up like this. Even though the first half of the night was spent sleeping sitting up on a couch, and then I was awake for a while at two in the morning, I feel like I’ve gotten the best sleep of my life.

And I don’t want to move from this spot. Don’t want to break the moment. Don’t want to risk either of them waking up.

Because I know that as soon as she does, Sam will pull away from me. Withdraw. Hide behind Maddie.

I surprised her last night with my comment about still having her if she’d told me about Maddie from the beginning. To be fair, she surprised me with her apology. I was already well on my way to forgiving her for keeping Maddie from me. The obviously unplanned and unrehearsed apology clinched it.

Who knows what our lives would look like if she’d told me the truth when she decided not to terminate the pregnancy? Different, that’s for sure.

But maybe I still would’ve auditioned for Cataclysm. They splashed the audition notice everywhere. Maybe I still would’ve gone to Juilliard for a little while. Sam always encouraged me to pursue my dreams, just like she was doing. She was so proud of me when I got accepted. So happy for me, not even letting me consider attending Virginia with her, even though it meant we’d be six hours apart.

Knowing she was still in Pennsylvania that whole time, only a few hours away. I could’ve come home every weekend. I could’ve made it work, even if we decided I should still go to school.

With a sigh, I let that go. Let go of all the what ifs and could’ve beens. None of that is possible. And dwelling on it doesn’t help anyone.

Now I know about my daughter—and I wasn’t blowing smoke when I told Sam I was grateful she finally told me. She’d kept Maddie from me for this long. It would’ve been easy to keep the secret for even longer. I’m so glad she didn’t, though, even if I don’t quite understand why she told me.
