Still, I eyed Jai. “Don’t you recognize—” I gestured.
He shrugged. “I certainly wasn’t going to say anything. I figure when, and if, you’re ready to share that, you will. Just know I’m happy to talk to him on…that level.”
Pup to pup.
“You’re okay with me telling him?”
Jai laughed. “I was at—” He glanced at the kids.
“Yeah, I remember.” I grinned. My first time seeing my boss in his puppy outfit sitting at Demetrius’s feet had been a shock. In retrospect, the surprise had been more that he was in a club rather than the fact he was a puppy.
“Share whatever you’re comfortable with. Whatever you think he’s open to hearing.”
“You’re a good man, Jai.”
He shrugged. “If you trust him, then I’m good with that.”
“I’ve got your coffees.” Sarabeth put them on our table. “Cream, sugar, and stevia.”
“Thank you.” I grinned.
Jai shuddered. He loathed the sweetener.
I laughed.
Sarabeth turned her attention to the family’s table.

We should get some to go. That would be fun.Of course, we might also be full at that point.Is the sunrise breakfast enough food for him? God, I have no idea how much he needs to eat.Not that this was my business. I just cared a lot.
I wanted to be the best Daddy I could possibly be.
Arnav and Demetrius were good examples.
I should find some time to talk to them.
Admitting I didn’t know everything wasn’t as hard as it might’ve been for someone else. As a therapist, I’d accepted I could do my best, but that I might not always have the answer.
For now, I’d go with the flow.
Because my heart was already invested.
Chapter Fifteen
Lorcan
Ishouldn’t have panicked.
Except I’d recognized the two men.
The puppy and the handler.
I washed my hands. Then tossed cold water on my face. I wasn’t going to look in the mirror. I didn’t need to see how chickenshit I was. Wearing a collar for Cody and playing with a squeaky toy on his bed was one thing. Doing all that in the club was something else entirely.
But you went to the club. Was that not showing you might be interested?
I didn’t have a good answer for that.
