Will they know? How do I act?

I can’t be too close to Miles or look at him too long. We’re friends and we have Lola in common and if I keep it that simple in my head, everything will be fine.

She wakes up and I get breakfast started, seeing Miles go down into the basement in workout clothes. He’s got a little time before he needs to leave, and I’d never want to get in the way of hockey.

The two of us eat as I sip my second cup of coffee, needing any energy I can get. Lola asks me to go for a walk by the water and I dress her for that before grabbing my shoes to take her to the creek. I watch Miles drive out from several feet away and he waves out of the window as I tell Lola to say goodbye to Daddy.

We stay busy all day, but I urge her to take a nap in the late morning so Lola can handle tonight. Dinner with two families is crazy for an adult and while she’s sleeping, I take a power nap. After that is over, I get ready for the game and take a moment to look at both jerseys in my closet.

Miles said I was his, but we both know I can’t wear his name on my back. I slip into the jersey with Andrew’s name on the back and when Lola is awake, I get her ready. I’ve got this and I can handle it.

The guys aren’t at dinner because of prep for the game, so it’s not as difficult as it could be. We have spaghetti, bread, and salad and I take off Lola’s jersey while she eats, so she doesn’t stain it. After dinner, I clean her up and get her dressed again before we pile into the cars to leave.

We take our seats as before and I look for Miles on the ice as I point for Lola. The image of him between my legs feasting on me fills my mind, and I feel grateful for the cold temperature of the arena. We go to the glass, and he taps it with his helmet, telling Lola he loves her before his eyes meet mine. She says it right back to him as he skates back, smiling before joining the team.

On the surface, everything is the same. I watch the game as we take turns with Lola, cheering for my guys as they get another one-goal lead, with Miles getting two of them on breakaways. He’s so sexy out there and even more to me now, since I know what he can do off the ice. I pay attention to everyone around me, and they don’t seem to suspect anything, making me breathe a sigh of relief. I feel heat whenever he looks in my direction to find Lola.

She’s asleep again when we get home, and I tuck her in, but I don’t fall asleep on the couch tonight. I wait for Miles, wanting him so badly after that damn game.

Hockey players are sexy, and Miles is going to be the death of me.

CHAPTER 13

DOUBT

MILES

Itell the guys to have a good night when we leave the restaurant after our celebration dinner and then walk to my car. It’s late and dark outside, and I wonder if Delilah is awake.

Do I want her to be awake?

I couldn’t stop looking at her throughout the game, but Lola is the reason everybody thinks I was doing it. I’ll let them think that, but Delilah stood out tonight. She’s beautiful and when she laughs, I can see the delight in it. Maybe it’s because we’ve been intimate, but Delilah is sexy with her big personality.

Delilah is also my best friend’s sister, not to mention my nanny. What the hell was I thinking giving in to my lust for her?

I see the other guys pull out of the parking lot and get into my car, warming up the engine. The other guys might wonder why I’m just sitting out here in the parking lot and think something is wrong. I don’t want to answer questions right now.

I make the drive home, searching the windows as I park. It’s dark in there, but I don’t have a clear view of the living room here since it’s behind the den that’s in the front of the house.

All I can do is go in. Everything is quiet, but I see the TV on in the living room. I make my way in there to find Delilah in fitted leggings and a thin T-shirt that leaves little to the imagination.

I pause to take her in, feeling my body react. As an athlete, I admit my sex drive can be high after adrenaline filled games, but this is different. It’s more about the woman in front of me than it is the big win we just had.

“Great game.”

I blink and she’s smiling at me, stretching as I see her nipples strain against her shirt.

“Thanks. Lola had fun?”

“Always. She gets so spoiled by everybody and really loves seeing you out there. I think I can teach her about the game little by little.”

I want my daughter to know what I do inside and out. Why is Delilah so perfect for her and for me? I close my eyes and sigh.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Delilah sits up as I open my eyes and need flows through my body. Before I can stop myself, I am on her. Pushing her back to the cushions, I claim her mouth in the kiss that has been eating away at me all night. She moans and wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me closer as our tongues dance together.

I am so fucking weak.
