Calm down, Jace. You’re doing fine. Take a deep breath. The kid is not going to hurt you, he’s just a kid! I discreetly wiped my sweaty palms on the leg of my jeans as DJ came running into the kitchen, waving the magazine I bought him, a big grin on his face. “Momma, Dory’s in here too, and there’s a bit you have to colour and amaze!” he practically shouted. I laughed quietly that something so small and cheap could make a kid smile like that. My ultimate goal was that it’d make him like me too. I looked him over as he showed Ashley the pages, talking at her a mile a minute, while she just smiled and nodded, doing a great job at faking enthusiasm. He was a really good-looking kid, but, then again, with a gorgeous thing like Ashley for a mom, he was bound to be a looker. He had the exact same shade of reddish-brown hair as hers, and her big brown eyes. His face was a different shape to hers and his skin was slightly darker, more like a natural tan. Ashley’s skin was
I raised one eyebrow suggestively, silently asking if she meant me. She laughed and slapped me on the back of the head playfully, and held her hand down to DJ, who was pouting and crossed his arms over his chest. “I don’t want to go to bed. Can’t I have an early night? I wanna play with Jace,” he said, frowning and looking at me pleadingly. I smiled a little proudly that he seemed to have accepted me a little. “Do you mean a late night?” Ashley countered. “Yeah, please, Momma?” He gave her the begging face and she shifted uncomfortably on her feet. DJ turned to me. “Jace, can you ask her if I can have more time? We can finish the war,” he whined, giving me the begging face. My eyes widened. It was an incredibly cute face; I didn’t want to say no. I looked at Ashley, unsure what to say. “Er… I think Momma said it’s time for bed, Kid. We can play that another time, okay?” I offered, hoping he wouldn’t beg me because, if he were my kid, I would have given in alr
As I thought, the following day at work was me being patted on the back for a job well done. I actually took it a lot better than I normally would, probably because I was in the best mood ever. I had even woken up with a smile on my face all because I had the most amazing girl in the world, and her little boy seemed to like me. Now all we had to do was get him to meet me a few more times and then we’d be able to break it to him that we were more than just friends. DJ was going to his dad’s this weekend, and I was making the most of the private time for sure. It had taken me pulling a few strings to enable me to get a reservation at the restaurant, but Ashley was worth it. At just after four, I was in the cafeteria with the boys. We’d just got back from a call out but the other snipers and I were just there for backup today, no actual action. As I plucked my phone from my pocket, I noticed a text from Ashley sitting there, received just before lunch. I couldn’t stop the stu
By the time I pulled away and pressed my forehead to hers, we were both a little breathless. The corners of her mouth twitched with a smile as her eyes met mine. She looked a little bewildered, like she had no idea what was going on around us. “Did that kiss make you forget your own name, or do I need to keep working on it?” I whispered, smirking at her. “I know it begins with R,” she joked, playing along. “Maybe you could work on it some more later.” I moaned breathlessly. “Definitely. Anyway, let’s go eat, I’m starving.” I pushed away from her and watched as she took a few deep breaths before straightening her shirt and pushing her hair behind her ear, like she was trying to calm herself down too. I followed her into the apartment and into the lounge. DJ was lying on his stomach, toy cars scattered everywhere, a little garage off to one side. His eyes lit up when he spotted me. “Jace! I saved you the red one. Momma wanted it, but I told her it was yours.” “
She pulled her head back, resting her chin on my chest, just looking at me silently for a minute. “Why are you being like this, Jace? Buying DJ things, playing with him, offering to come to the park, and not even being annoyed with me that I had to cancel plans that we made?” she asked, looking a little confused, but very interested in my answer. Gripping the top of her arms, I pulled her higher up my body so our faces were level. “I understand you have a son; it’s different being with a girl that has a readymade family, and I never would have expected this to happen to me in a million years, but I really like you. I really like DJ too, he’s cute. I like spending time with both of you,” I answered, shrugging and not really knowing how to explain it properly. Her face softened as she stroked the side of my face adoringly. But then I had to ruin it… “And I want to fuck you so badly that my dick is actually aching,” I added. She burst out laughing and shook her head
Her hips bucked against my hand as I spoke; her breathing sped so I knew I could push her a lot further. Ashley Danvers certainly got excited by pillow talk! A proud grin stretched across my face because of how sexy my girlfriend was. I was one seriously lucky guy that she didn’t seem to just be a blushing, lay on her back kind of girl. Her body reacted beautifully to my words, so I decided to take it a little further and see just how dirty she was. “As soon as you’re in love with me, I’m going to fuck you from every possible angle. I want to take you hard and fast, and just when you think you’re going to come, I’m going to pull out and kiss my way down your body. I want to taste your climax on my tongue; I want to feel your thighs shake against my shoulders as you ride the waves of pleasure I’m going to give you.” That obviously didn’t scare her. She gasped and jerked her arms, trying to get her hands free. I held her tighter as I pumped my finger inside her slowly, be
In the morning Ashley called me to say that Josh had let them down again and wouldn’t be picking up DJ at all for the rest of the weekend. Apparently, Ashley had already put in a call to Anna who had offered to have DJ for the night at their place, so at least we would still be able to go out tonight. For the day time though, we were going to the park for a picnic with DJ. I headed over to her place just after ten. As soon as she opened the door I could see how upset she was. She was trying not to show me, but her whole posture was different. She was the picture of disappointment, and I could hear the reason why. DJ was crying his heart out in the other room. I groaned and cupped her cheek. It just wasn’t fair for someone as special as her to be disappointed over and over, and it wasn’t fair for a great kid like DJ to have his dad flake out on him all the time. “You alright?” I asked, already knowing the answer was no. She put on a fake smile and nodded. “Sure. Com
“So, where are these rhinos then? You see them from up there, Kid?” I joked, before turning to look at Ashley. But she’d stopped walking, and was just looking at me with a bewildered expression on her face. “You okay?” I asked, a little worried as to why she was looking at me like I’d grown another head. She shook her head slightly as if to clear, and then walked to my side. “Yeah, yeah, I’m good. Rhinos are this way according to the sign.” I nodded, and we started walking in the direction she pointed. I couldn’t help but smile when I felt her hand touch the small of my back before pushing down into the back pocket of my jeans, squeezing my ass lightly. “Ashley, that’s a little presumptuous,” I joked, trying to sound stern. “What’s a sumpt… sumptsons…what did you say again?” DJ asked, his hand moving down slightly, half covering my eyes. “Kid, I can’t see where I’m going, we’re gonna walk into a tree or something,” I stated, shaking my head, trying to move
