Chapter 20
On Saturday morning, I took Connor and Elodie to the skate park and tried to teach Elodie how to skateboard a little.
âBend your knees just a little, and try to stay on.â She wore one of my spare helmets, but it was too big for her.
âLike this?â she asked, practically squatting in half on the skateboard.
âPretty close. Let me show you.â I got on and balanced, then bent my knees a little. She backed away and watched me. I tic-tacked to face her, then stepped off the board.
She tried it a few more times, and when she balanced for a few seconds alone, she let out a little squeal. âI did it!â She got so excited, the board started sliding out from underneath her, and I quickly pulled her off and toed the board to a stop.
âYou did! Nice work.â
Connor watched us. âCan you do what theyâre doing?â He pointed to a couple of older boys riding around in the beginner bowl.
âYeah.â
âShow me.â
âAlright." I popped my skateboard up, then did a throw-down and jumped on. Skating over to the intermediate bowl, I quickly dropped down and rode around for a few minutes to get a feel for it, then did a few tail stalls on the lip. After Iâd warmed up a bit, I did a couple of simple ollies along the ledge.
Glancing up, I noticed a few of the other riders stopping to watch. This wasnât uncommon. Liam told me once it was fun to watch me skate since there werenât as many good female skaters. Iâd learned to tune everyone out.
A few minutes later, I aired out of the bowl, grabbing the side of my skateboard briefly as I came out. Then just to show off a little, I did a kickflip not far from where Connor and Ellie were standing, rotating my skateboard underneath me, and came to a stop.
âThat was fucking hot,â one of the guys muttered to his friends.
Connor watched me. âYou having fun?â
I raised an eyebrow, understanding the lust that was probably coursing through him. Iâd felt the same when I watched him playing hockey for the first time with Titus.
âYeah, I am,â I grinned.
Elodie bounced beside me. âThat was way better than dance. You have to teach me.â
âDance will help you with your coordination and balance. You could do both. But first, we need to get you a helmet that fits, and some pads.â
She nodded happily. âOkay, itâs a deal.â
That night after we read with Elodie and tucked her in for the night, Connor grabbed a bottle of wine and we sat out on his back patio by the pool. We talked and gazed up at the stars. Honeysuckle and rosemary scented the air, and tall palm trees swayed gently in the breeze. I loved these desert evenings.
When we went to bed a little while later, Connor pulled the vibrator out of his drawer and took off my sweats. I grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head. When we were both naked, he backed me into his bed and lowered me down.
