Noah

“I don’t think I’ve gone to bed before ten o’clock since I was in middle school,” I say, fighting a yawn.

The afternoon flew by with lunch and then a nap for Max. He opened his present but was more interested in the box and paper than the cars. Harbor won’t be impressed since his career revolves around high-end custom cars. But I have no doubt that when Max actually knows what a car is, it’s something he can bond with not only me but also his uncle.

Now that he’s settled in bed for the night and we’ve binged four episodes of Sons of Anarchy, I’m fighting sleep. It was busy all morning and kept going once we got home.

Home . . .

The word catches on the end of my tongue. Huh. I’m not sure what to do with that. I’m sure it’s just a turn of phrase that came without great meaning. It’s probably best if I ignore the inner alarms sounding in my head. What good are the alarms when they tell me to move forward instead of away? Maybe I should listen rather than disregard.

I hold Liv a little tighter as we lie on the couch together. She yawns. “Welcome to parenthood. I’m in a constant state of exhaustion.”

That yawn is my gateway. I go for it. “Since we’re both kind of tired, do you want to—”

“Go to sleep?” She turns in my arms, seemingly wide awake now. This is not what I was going for. Well, the awake part works but not the sleep.

“Since it’s Saturday night, I was kind of thinking we’d go into the bedroom.” Hint.

As if that doesn’t compute, she stares at me with her brows pushed together. “And sleep? Is that what you’re suggesting?”

I blink and then narrow my eyes. “Um, no. That’s not what I’m suggesting.”

She laughs lightly against my chest. “My brain is too tired to riddle through this maze, Noah. You’ll have to spell it out for me.”

With our legs tangled together, my dick struggles to find enough room between us. “Do I really need to spell it out? I think it’s kind of obvious.”

“So I feel.” A wink and smirk are given in return. I really fucking love this side of her. “It’s that easy, huh?”

“All it takes is you, Ms. Bancroft, and I’m a lost cause.”

Like the wind came in and swept her off her feet, her body slacks on the edge of the couch. Fortunately, I’d never let her fall. At least not to the floor. She leans in to kiss me. “You’re not lost. You’re right where you’re supposed to be.”

She deserves more than a kiss for saying that and for making me a part of their lives. But that’s what I have to give her, so I kiss her with passion, running my fingers along the back of her neck so she knows that I’m not only grateful but I want her so fucking badly when I get that first taste of her. “So the bedroom?”

Releasing a jagged breath, she nods.
