Page 21 of Spring Break With a Baby Daddy
Yeah, I’d like to be coming. It’s been so long since I had the pleasure of orgasming with a woman, I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep my excitement at sharing a bed with Vivi under wraps. Except I have to. And not only because I need her help with the baby.
I want her in my life. I want to explore this attraction I know isn’t one sided and see where it might lead.
I can admit to being jealous of my best friends. They’ve found women to love. They’re building families. And even if I hadn’t thought about a family of my own before I met Vivi, I want that—with her.
Will I get it? I don’t know. But I definitely want to try.
Shirt and shorts in hand, I move back into the bedroom to find Vivi staring at the baby. I can’t quite decipher the look on her face.
“He okay?”
“Yes. I was just watching him sleep.” Is that a blush blooming on her cheeks? “He’s so innocent, oblivious to the changes happening around him.”
Before I can say anything else, she yanks the clothes from my grip and disappears into the en suite.
“Well, okay then.” With a shake of my head, I pick up our plate and leave the room.
I know I locked up before I left for our date, but after I put the plate in the sink to deal with in the morning, I move through the house to check all the doors and windows anyway.
Taking my time, I steel myself against what I’ll find when I return to my bedroom.
Vivi in my bed.
It’s something I’ve been hoping for from the first time I laid eyes on her. In the months since then, I’ve discovered it isn’t just a physical attraction I feel.
Her intelligence blows my mind, and the way she dove into the search and rescue of Van gave me a glimpse of her heart. From our conversation earlier, I know she’s got some triggers and Van’s situation obviously pulled one.
She put herself, her freedom, on the line to help Vail get Van away from his mother. What she did took more than skill, it took bravery.
Like with the mysterious Lisa, doing the right thing isn’t always the easy thing, and I have to respect both women for following through in a difficult situation.
Of course the incidents are completely different but that doesn’t take away from the fact it takes a brave person to push through the hard stuff.
I don’t want to put Vivi in jeopardy and I know she’s been put on a watch list because of what she dug into to help Vail regain custody of his son.
Should I expect her to help me find Lisa?
She would be putting herself at risk and as much as I want to know who Lisa is and why she thought her son would be better off with me, I don’t want to threaten Vivi’s freedom.
But if I’ve learned anything about her in the time I’ve known her, it’s that she won’t listen to me if I tell her to leave it alone. The only thing I can do is help protect her.
Whatever she needs, whatever she wants, I’ll make sure she gets it. What’s the point of having billions of dollars if you don’t use them to take care of the ones you love.
And while I’m not there yet with Vivi, I have to admit I’m close. Closer than I’ve been with any other woman.
Vivi
Stifling a yawn, something I’ve discovered rocking a baby makes me do, I hum the little man back to sleep.
We need to give him a name. I can’t keep calling him the baby. It doesn’t seem right. And while little man or bud or whatever works well enough, I want him to have a name.
If only Lisa had named him before she gave him up.
Although I understand why doing that could have made her choice more difficult.
“They’re here.”
Easton’s whisper has me turning around. “They’re early.” It’s barely eight.
