LUKE

This was a terrible idea and it’s all Cameron’s fault. I’ve never been mad at my best friend, but right now I want to kick him out of my house. Natalie went to bed thirty minutes ago so that her father and I could do “boy stuff”. What I want to be doing is pounding my cock into her and not listening to Cameron talk about his business problems.

“Are you okay, Luke?” Cameron asks. “You seem distracted tonight.”

“I’m fine.”

“Sure, and I’m Batman.” He laughs, “What’s going on with you? You haven’t been responding to texts or returning calls. I know you’re not busy with work. Are you seeing someone?”

Shit. “Nothing’s going on with me,” I promised Natalie that I wouldn’t tell him about us, and I won’t, but I want to. If I did, I could go join my woman in bed and do filthy things to her until morning.

“If you say so. How’s Natalie doing? I was surprised she went to bed so early.”

“She’s good. She’s been doing research during the day. I think she’s gotten to know some people in town.” Not an exact lie, we’ve gone up and down main street several times. “I’ve enjoyed having her here.” I can’t help but add.

“She’s not cramping your style?” Cameron laughs.

“Does she cramp yours?” I ask, wondering about his dating life after the talk that Natalie and I had the first night she was here. Maybe if Cameron were dating someone he wouldn’t care about Natalie and I being in love.

“You know I haven’t been interested in anyone since Natalie’s mom. I don’t know that I ever will be.”

He says the right words, but there’s something underneath them that leads me to believe that he doesn’t quite mean them. I think he might want someone.

“Natalie wouldn’t want you to be alone. She wants you to be happy.” I can’t help but say.

Cameron narrows his eyes at me. “Have the two of you been comparing notes about me? Did she say something?”

“Not really. I’ve just gotten to know her better and I know she would want you to be happy like I do.”

We both sit in the quiet after that. There is an awkwardness that has never been there before. I hate not being honest with him. I want to tell him about my happiness and about how much I love his daughter. How I plan to love her forever, make her deliriously happy, and help her achieve every dream.

Cameron and I drink together for another hour and then head to bed. He heads upstairs to the room next to Natalie’s and I head to the room I should be sharing with her. I walk in, expecting it to be empty, but there in the middle of the bed is my sweet love.

“Natalie?”

She’s asleep and slowly comes back around. “Hi.”

“Hi, sweet girl. I’m happy you’re here, but didn’t we agree that you were going to sleep in the guest room.”

“I am. I just wanted to say goodnight and I fell asleep.” She sits up and I see that she’s wearing one of my T-shirts and a pair of tiny panties.

“You thought I was going to be able to let you go when you look this fucking sexy?”

“I have to go back up there. My Dad is in the room next to mine. He’ll know if I’m not there in the morning?”

“How? You can say you got up early or sneak up before he wakes up.” I tell her as I kiss her collarbone. “I promise that I won’t let anything happen. The staff will help.

“Luke, it’s not a good idea.” She moves her neck to the side, giving me better access. “But maybe we could do something really quick and really quiet.”

“Do you think you can be quiet?”

“Do you think you can be quick?”

“Let’s give it a try,” I say as I push her back down on the bed and cover her body with mine.
