Chapter 18
Jake
I coax Annie into the shower with me, and we take turns soaping each other with eager hands. I want to take her right here, under the spray of hot water, but sheâs a nervous wreck now knowing that my parents are here. Unlike Annieâs parents, who always disapproved of me, my parents adored Annie, and they always hoped weâd marry. I have no doubt theyâll be happy to see her again. And as for Aidenâmy mom will go nuts over him. As a former kindergarten teacher, she loves kids, and I have absolutely no doubt sheâll love Aiden.
Once weâve washed everything we can, at least twice, we turn off the water and dry off. Annie slips back into her PJs and runs across the hall to her own room to dress. I towel myself dry and pull on a pair of jeans and my Ironman T-shirtâgotta score points with the kid.
When Iâm dressed, I knock on Annieâs door.
âCome in,â she calls.
I enter her room and find her in the closet, fretting over what to wear.
âI didnât bring many clothes with me,â she says, as she picks through her meager wardrobe. âAnd only one dress.â She holds it up to show me. âDo you think this is acceptable?â
âHoney, you can wear whatever you like. Theyâre here to see you, not your clothes. Just throw on some jeans and a top, and youâll be fine. Hell, wear your pajamas if you want to. My folks wonât care.â
She sighs. âI canât believe theyâre here.â
I walk up behind her, slipping my arms around her waist and resting my chin on her shoulder. âTrust me. Theyâll be happy to see you, and theyâll go nuts over Aiden. My brother Shane and his wife just had a baby a few days ago, so my parents are in grandparent mode. Aiden will give them someone else to spoil.â
She turns to look back at me. âDo you think they will? Accept him, I mean.â
âOf course, they will.â I kiss her throat, feeling her pulse beating wildly beneath my lips. My hands slide down her sides to her hips, and I squeeze them. âYou make me so damn hard, Elliot.â I press against her back side, my erection hitting the small of her back. I push closer and groan. âYou owe me a round two later. We didnât get our full two hours.â
Now that weâre living under the same roof, I know Iâm not going to be able to get enough of her. Iâd really like for her to move into my room and share my bed. Aiden can have this room to himself. But Iâm getting a little bit ahead of myself. Baby steps. I donât want to push either of them too fast.
Thereâs a brisk knock on Annieâs door, and I leave her to get dressed while I answer it.
âChange in plans,â Charlie says, grinning at me. âYour folks are here.â
âSo I heard. We had to cut playtime short. Annieâs getting dressed, and then weâll be down.
