“First of all, I’m not having no more damn babies. Tavia will be the only one of us to have a baby later in life.”
“You ain’t said nothing but a word. I got a vasectomy, and you are menopausal. Now, we can go through with this adoption or fostering situation. I’m cool with that, but my days of creating kids are over. Besides with my grandchildren, whatever is in the water I don’t want that shit.”
“My babies are not even that bad.”
“You said they’re good with you. We’re gonna see about that.”
She rolled her eyes. “Can we keep this under wraps for a while?”
I frowned. “Why?”
“Because I need to know that this is for real this time, Senior. I don’t wanna get my hopes up. We aren’t together. You can date me, but I’m not claiming you until I know you’re serious.”
“You ain’t gotta claim me. I claim you and you know what it is.” Cupping her face, I kissed her lips. “This is real as it’s going to get. Have I ever lied to you?”
“No.”
“Then don’t think I’m gonna start now. I’ll appease you, though. If you want me to date you, I’ll do that. And I’ll keep it under wraps for the time being, but I ain’t keeping secrets forever. We’re grown as fuck.”
“I hear you.”
“You better. Gimme some suga.”
She giggled as she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me passionately. When our lips finally parted, I slapped her ass.
“Come on here and let’s cook something to eat. I promised my baby I’d take her to the toy store, and you have a visit.”
“How are you getting back to the compound?”
“I’ll have a car pick me up. Wouldn’t want to get you caught up,” I added with a smirk. “Sneaking around might be fun. I’ve always liked a little role play.” I pecked her lips and my hand slipped beneath the robe. “Act like you don’t know me in public and all the while I’m fucking you in private.”
She moaned as I stroked her clit.
Her pussy was already wet and that shit excited me.
Yeah, we could keep this on the low for a little bit, but when we popped out, I was on her ass like white on rice.
“Where you been this morning?” Deuce asked, grabbing Darlyn from the back seat of my truck.
Baby girl had shopped ‘til she dropped, now she was knocked out.
“In my damn skin. Why?”
“I went to your house. Your truck was parked, but your ass wasn’t there.”
“And? I didn’t realize I had to check in with you when I wasn’t gonna be home.”
He gave me a side eye before turning and walking up the front steps. I followed behind him with Darlyn’s bags and a smirk on my face. Stephanie’s car was in the yard, and even though I’d just seen her a few hours ago, I couldn’t wait to lay eyes on her. When I walked into the house, she was sitting on the couch playing with Maceo and Shar’s daughter, Charm. Marino and Liam were in the playroom, fucking it up.
When they saw me, they came running over.
“Papa!” I placed the bags down and braced for impact as they ran and latched on to my leg.
“How y’all bad asses doing?” I asked, scooping them up.
“I’m a good boy,” Marino said, pointing to himself. “Him bad.”
Liam shook his head. “Set up! I not bad.”
