“Just take a bite. If you don’t like them, you don’t have to eat them.” Jackson pointed his fork at Ryker’s plate. His son gave him his puppy dog eyes thinking he could work Jackson. “Nope. Not gonna work. Take a bite.”

Ryker frowned as he scooped up a small bite of the vegetables. He looked at his dad, back to his fork and back to his dad again. Sighing dramatically, he took a bite, chewed and swallowed. He quickly reached for his bottle of water and washed it down. He stuck out his tongue and did a whole body shiver. “Ack! That’s gwoss.”

Jackson couldn’t help it, his son’s reaction was funny. He laughed and shook his head. “All right, you nut. You can go play.”

Ryker didn’t need to be told twice. As soon as Jackson pushed his chair back, he hopped down and headed straight for his cars.

“He’s absolutely adorable Jackson.” Calliope’s smile was a little sad as she watched Ryker playing. “You and Zoey have a beautiful little boy.”

Jackson wasn’t sure what to say. “Thank you.” He didn’t want to keep throwing Zoey into their conversations regarding Ryker because it still hurt Calliope. He hoped she could work through her issues and catch up to where he was at in regards to his co-parenting with her best friend.

Turning her attention back to Jackson, she said, “You’re a really great father. I always knew you would be.”

His head jerked back at what she’d said. “How would you know I would be a good dad?”

“Because of the example Maverick set for you. Despite his gruffness sometimes, he was a really great dad to you. Well, to me, too, for that matter.”

Maverick had been a good dad to him. It was sometimes hard to reconcile the man he was when he was home with him and his mom and the brother he was at the clubhouse. Once Jackson started prospecting and realized his dad wasn’t faithful to his mom, they’d hit a really rough patch. It had taken his mom kicking his dad out and making him earn her trust again before Jackson was willing to give his dad a chance with him again.

He was sure Calliope knew all about that rough patch his parents went through because his mom liked to talk to her mom.

One thing he knew without a doubt was he would never cheat on Calliope. For another thing, she’d never allow it. And lastly, she’d already proven she wasn’t afraid to runaway if he broke here heart.

“When isshe gonna get up, Daddy?”

“I don’t know, but I told you to leave her alone. She’ll get up when she’s ready.”

Calliope had been in that in between state of dreaming and waking up. She wanted to keep dreaming, especially since she was reliving what she and Jackson had done together once Ryker went to sleep, but her brain was telling her time was up and she needed to get out of bed. She cracked her eyes open and was shocked to find little coal-colored eyes staring at her from about six inches away.

“Is she sick?”

“Why would you think she’s sick?”

“Because she was making noises.”

Jackson made a choking sound over by the door, drawing her attention. Then, remembering she was dreaming of the sex she had with him last night and was moaning, she felt her face heat up. How embarrassing that she’d been making satisfied sex noises in front of a three-year-old!

“She’s awake!” Ryker whispered loudly as he turned to tell his dad. His whole face lit up with a smile causing Calliope to kind of feel like a zoo exhibit. She blinked rapidly a couple of times, trying to clear the sleep from her vision.

“What did I tell you?” Jackson pushed off the door frame and entered the room, a dish towel slung over one shoulder and a cup of what smelled like coffee in his hand. His large hand settled on the top of Ryker’s head and ruffled his hair. “Go finish your breakfast. And close the door behind you.” He gently pushed his son toward the door and waited for Ryker to shut the door. He squatted down so that he was eye level with her and smiled. His smile was smug and knowing. Of course it would be arrogant. The man had rocked her world so hard, she doubted she’d ever be the same. Hell, she might not be able to walk this morning.

“Good morning, baby.” His voice was deep and rumbly, causing all her girlie parts to stand up and take notice. It was the same way he spoke to her when coaxing orgasms from her body last night, over and over. She couldn’t suppress the shiver of desire that raced through her if she tried and it didn’t escape Jackson’s attention.

Calliope felt the blanket she was under slip slowly down her naked body. He leaned in and took one hard nipple in his mouth and sucked deeply before letting it go with a pop. “Mmm. Fuck me, baby. Nothing I want more right now than to bury my face in that sweet pussy of yours, but if I don’t get out there, my boy’s going to come barging in real soon.”

“Mmm. Tease.” Jackson threw his head back and laughed. “Get a girl all hot and bothered and bail. Shame on you.” She pulled the covers up far enough to hide her smile.

“I’ll show you what teasing is when we have more time. I’m going to lick that sweet pussy until you can’t stand it and you’re begging me to let you come. Then I’m going to tease a little more.” The heat in his gaze promised he would do exactly what he just said.

Calliope groaned. She bit into her bottom lip and squeezed her thighs together tightly, hoping to relieve some of the need. Jackson stood, leaned down and kissed her before ordering her to get up, get dressed and come out to breakfast.

“Fine. I’m taking a shower first.” She tossed the covers back and walked naked to the bathroom. She tossed him a smile over her shoulder saying she knew exactly what she was doing right before she closed the door. She was taunting the bull and she loved it. She loved to see the fiery need in his eyes as he watched her walk by. His focus had been fastened on her ass, then shot to her face, as she snickered and closed the door. Serves him right. Tease her like that and leave her wanting more.

She started the water in the shower, letting it warm up while she brushed her teeth. She found plastic wrap, a baggie and tape next to a new toothbrush in its package laying on the sink. She wondered when he’d done that. She shoved her casted hand in the baggie, wrapped lots of plastic wrap around it and taped it. She’d been doing it for herself ever since she left his house that morning Zoey showed up with Ryker and she’d gotten pretty good at it.

Once she was finished, she stepped in and slid the door closed behind her. She stepped under the hot water and moaned at how good it felt. Her skin was overly sensitive this morning after Jackson’s thorough attention last night. Her nipples were tight with the memories assaulting her. She hissed when the shower jet hit her overly sensitive tip.

She reached for the shampoo, squirted a generous amount in her hand and lathered her hair. With her eyes closed it was easy to replay every single detail from last night. God, the way he’d pinched and pulled at her nipples had caused her juices to pool between her legs. Just thinking about it now had her panting with desire. She rinsed her hair, feeling the suds slip down her chest, over her nipples, down her stomach and between her legs. She was so horny, she couldn’t stand it. Jackson himself had said sex wasn’t happening right now, so Calliope figured she’d take care of herself because there was no way she could wait until tonight for him to take care of her.
