“And then the fairy went—shoo shoo—killing the monster!” Alice animatedly said, her arms waving and bunching into fists as she pretended to punch the imaginary monster.
Caleb, who was sitting on the tiny pink chair for her tea party, nodded obediently, his brows furrowed as if he was truly engrossed in her made-up story. She poured him imaginary tea from her pink and blue plastic kettle, and he picked up the cup with pinkie out, asking her, “Did the princess have magical powers?”
My cheeks hurt from smiling so much as I took a sneaky picture of them. When he had arrived that evening, Alice had forced him into the tiny toy chair and placed pastel colored small hair clips in his shiny black hair, making his hair stand out in all ways. And yet, he still managed to look hot in a black shirt and dress pants.
I swallowed, smoothing my hand down the dress I was wearing. There was a reason we were dressed up. Kyle was meeting us at Caleb’s house since he had a meeting.
We were having dinner with Caleb’s dad and his wife. Caleb had explained that she was his ex—which was very surprising—and they had made a deal not to call her stepmom or call him her stepson. I was too surprised by the age gap and their happy marriage to ask Caleb about their breakup. Maybe I can question him when we are back home.
“And how did she—oh my fucking hell,” Caleb gaped at me from the chair when I entered the living room, his glittering onyx eyes roving over my frame, and once more going from my heels to hair. His gaze lingered too far on my chest, making me blush even though I was wearing a modest bodycon dress in deep navy color, the flowy silk reaching my ankles.
“Caleb, watch your language,” I said, noticing Alice turning around to look at me.
Her smiled widened as she ran over to me, hugging my legs, “Mommy, you look like a princess!”
I was glad she didn’t hear Caleb’s bad words, but I still shot him a glare as he stood up and made his way towards us. I kneeled in front of Alice and smoothed her hair. “Thank you, honey. Will you take care of yourself and have fun with Valeria and Jem?”
Since Kyle was coming with us, Jem wanted to spend time with Alice. She was very sweet, and I had noticed her preferring the company of anyone than living alone at her house.
Alice agreed, kissing me on the cheek before going back to playing with her toys. She’d already finished her homework with me when Caleb had arrived and looked after her as I changed and did my makeup.
“You look like a goddess,” Caleb whispered, blocking my view of Alice as he stood across from me, his hair in funny clips and eyes dark. “I want to worship every inch of you.”
His arms wrapped around my waist as I bit my lip at the bulge in his pants. I had never thought that a man could get a boner without getting touched, but Caleb proved me wrong.
“You don’t look so bad yourself.” I poked one of the hair clips, grinning when he held my hand and kissed my wrist, placing his chin in my palm and nuzzling it with his hooded dark eyes pinned on my face.
“Can I please fuck you before we leave?” He asked, his voice low and smoky, making my heart rate increase.
Caleb and Kyle had kept me busy with their… stamina since we started dating. If either of them was busy with work or life, the other would keep me company, and if they were both busy, they would keep me on my toes with sexy shirtless pictures or gray sweatpants or not-safe-for-work voice notes. And if they were both free, I would walk funny the next day and let June handle the class. There hasn’t been a single day where I had not orgasmed with either their fingers, voice, mouth or their cocks.
I enjoyed their attention and care. I basked in it, being pampered by both of them and their willingness to look after my well-being and Alice.
But I was afraid that I hadn’t heard anything from that strange robotic call and what would I do if this ended.
I snapped out of my stupor and kissed his clean-shaven cheek, smelling the delicious cologne that smelled like musk and pine. “We can’t be late meeting your dad,” I said and eyed his hair. “Are you going to keep them?”
He pouted, kissing my palm before straightening up to his full height. “Alice did my hair, and I don’t want to ruin it.”
I raised my brow.
“Fine, I’ll remove them for now.” His bottom lip jutted out, making me cup his cheek and lean in to kiss him, press my lips against his piercing and adorable pout. “Mm. You spoil me, mama.”
He whispered before tilting his head and deepening the kiss. But he pulled back, my red lipstick smeared on his lips and around the corner as his eyes gleamed, peering down at me. “I messed up your lipstick. Sorry.” His thumb gently brushed over the corner of my lips. His bulge was more prominent now, brushing against my thigh.
“I’ll be right back, or I won’t be able to stop myself from locking us both in a room and having a quickie,” Caleb winked before walking to the guest room to fix his hair.
I pursed my lips and grabbed my clutch to get the lipstick and redo it in the hallway mirror. As I was checking my hair and jewelry, Valeria knocked on the front door. I knew the boys were paying her extra (yes, they insisted on paying for my babysitter ever since we started dating) and told her we might come back around ten or later.
“This was stuffed in the mailbox.” Valeria handed me a heavy envelope. Definitely not a bill. “I thought I should get it for you. Alice! Are we having another tea party today?”
I thanked her as she hugged Alice. I smiled, glad that Alice had someone like Valeria to look up to as a big sister role. I looked down at the envelope and flipped it.
