24- Quinn

A couple of weeks have passed since the night Theo first came to my bed and he’s returned most nights since then after the children are asleep and the house is quiet. I’ve never had sex this regularly in my life nor have I enjoyed it half so much with anyone else. He’s an amazing lover, giving and attentive in the bedroom. Our one-night stand was no fluke and I fear I’ll be hard-pressed to find a future partner who can, pardon the phrase, measure up.

God, his face when I admitted that to him.

Smug and pleased and sexy as hell. You’d think he’d won the lottery but we’re both winners here. All those endorphins have put me in a permanently sunny frame of mind, I think.

“Just be careful, Quinn,” Isa has warned me. I know she’s right but part of me doesn’t want to hear it.

Maybe this thing between us is casual and could be labeled as purely sexual but that doesn’t mean it’s unimportant. While the kids come first, this is a corner of our lives that we’re carving out just for us and we’re making the most of it. We deserve a happy sex life, don’t we?

But, we’re definitely blurring the lines of what our relationship is supposed to be and what it is behind closed doors. The photograph which ran in the Chicago Tribune’s society page after the awards banquet was just a small example. The children haven’t seen it but many people did. I went from an unknown, mild-mannered science teacher-turned-nanny to the Mystery Beauty on the arm of a Billionaire Bachelor overnight.

Nadine Childress looked ready to spit nails when I’d seen her the Monday following the banquet at school drop-off. A woman I’d taught with at Price Academy four years ago had called me up out of the blue wanting to know if that was actually me in the photo. She’d sounded insultingly incredulous so, yeah, I took some pleasure in telling her it was me.

And Margaret, who has been kind to me from the day we met, had expressed her surprise over me acting as Theo’s escort though supportive of ‘whatever may be.’ Her motherly manner had secretly made me feel guilty for keeping things from her.

I don’t want to disappoint her either but I’m not sure Theo will ever want a truly serious relationship after losing Kathy. Those wounds run deep.

Regarding that, I’m learning a thing or two about casual sex. I’m not great at it. I mean, the sex is great but keeping my heart separate isn’t working so well. Stupid, right? It’s impossible to keep my feelings detached when every kiss, every whispered discussion across the sheets seeps deeper into my bones and makes me want to be his in more places than the bedroom.

Keeping my role as Mr. Wolfe’s nanny and the one as Theo's lover separate isn’t any easier on days like this either.

“When I think of a tire swing, it’s always summertime in my mind. Do you remember ours, Isa?” I ask, tugging my jacket closed.
