I opened my door and got out, opened his door and he heldhis arms out for me. Lifting him from the seat, I held him tight against me. “I love you, Dillon.”
“I luffs you too.” He patted my back.
“Well, you sure smell like you’ve been working on a farm. How about a bath?”
“Yes!” Dillon pumped his arm and when I set him down in the foyer, he went running upstairs to get his toys gathered for the water party about to happen.
I walked through the hall to the kitchen and got a beer out. As I twisted the cap off, memories of Miranda’s ass bent over the recliner gut punched me.
Like some pervert, I stood behind her, ogling her ass. Her scrubs stretched tight across her full cheeks.
“Dad!” I heard toys clanking in the tub, followed by my son’s eager voice. “I’m ready!”
“Gotcha! I’m coming!”
From all his excitement, I was sure my boy would sleep well tonight. And if I could get rid of this hard-on, hopefully I would too.
Two hours later Dillon was sawing logs, and I was on my third beer, kicked back in my recliner. I stared at her name in my phone, wondering if she had the same number.
How many times have I wanted to call or message her?
“Too damn many.”
