Chapter Fourteen
Rex
During the meal and movie, Con was so withdrawn, I began to worry heâd changed his mind. Had I forced myself on him? I kept replaying what had happened in the pool over and over in my brain. Heâd seemed so into me. Maybe now it was sinking in that heâd invited an old man alpha to his bed, and he regretted it.
I was still in shock at how things had escalated in the pool. One minute weâd been laughing, and the next minute Iâd wanted to fuck him so bad I couldnât hide it. I shivered, remembering the feel of his smooth, muscular thighs wrapped around me. I swallowed hard and watched Con under my lashes as he stared at the TV screen. He was so beautiful, his features were delicate and his body lean and graceful. I yearned to taste him again and feel his skin against mine. I wanted to know what it was like to take a man, and I wanted that man to be Con.
When the movie was almost over, Con rose and cleared the pizza boxes and plates away. I stayed on the couch with Riley, my heart thumping. This was almost the moment of truth. Soon Riley would be in bed, and Iâd have to decide whether or not I should go to Conâs room. What if he turned me away at his door? That would be humiliating as hell.
My palms were sweaty, and I felt edgy. I hadnât felt this uptight about making a move on someone since I was a teenager. It was also complicated by the fact that Iâd never been with a man. I was an experienced lover when it came to women. In this situation, Con knew more than me. I was twice his age, and yet tonight Iâd be the newb.
If he doesnât reject me first.
Iâd have felt a lot better about it all if Con hadnât clammed up like a secret agent the majority of the night. He was usually very warm and engaging when the three of us watched movies together. But tonight, it was as if heâd forgotten he was in the same room with us. Heâd barely said two words all evening.
When the show ended, I took Riley upstairs to his room. I read him a story as he snuggled in the curve of my arm. I loved my good-nights with my son. It was the one time I felt able to let down my guard and show him how much I loved him. Iâd gotten better at showing my feelings since Con had come to stay. After our little blow out about leaving for China, Iâd made a real effort to let Riley know he was the most important thing in the world to me.
When Riley gave a little snore, I carefully slid from the bed, and put the book on the dresser. Then I pulled the blankets up around Riley, and I kissed his soft hair. I left his room, closing the door halfway.
