“Jupiter.”

“What do you mean?”

“The boys went to Jupiter to all get stupider.”

“I don’t think that’s very nice to boys, do you?”

“But it’s just a joke, don’t you get it?”

“Not a funny one.”

I find myself smiling as I listen to them talk, and they chatter on for a good while. It dawns on me that listening in on them is as creepy as all hell, so I step heavily on the bottom step so they hear me coming. “Good morning,” I say as I walk into the kitchen.

Lucia smiles broadly. “Good morning.”

“Morning,” Grace grumbles with her back to me as she makes her coffee.

I pull out a chair at the dining table and take a seat, my eyes linger on her rounded tight ass and my cock twinges in appreciation.

Stop!

“What’s happening today?” I ask to take my mind off the situation.

Grace turns toward me, and for the first time I see her face, makeup free and tousled hair.

Oh…she’s so lovely.

“You’re leaving,” she says abruptly.

My dick shrivels.

I nod, ashamed of my moonlight behavior.

She sips her coffee as her eyes hold mine.

I have no idea what’s going through her head right now, but I’m sure it’s evil.

I should have worn an armored vest.

“Apologies for…” I widen my eyes. “You know.”

“Not accepted.” She glares at me. “Do you want a coffee?”

“Sure.” I fake a smile. This is awkward as fuck. “Thank you.”

She turns to the coffee machine and my eyes drop down her body and linger on her ass once again. I feel a rush of blood to my loins.

Lock it up.

What the hell is going on here?

She passes me the cup of coffee. “I’m going out to hang the washing on the line,” she tells Lucia. “Are you okay in here with Gabriel?”

Lucia smiles broadly over at me. “Yes.”

Pride fills me.

Grace walks out the back door, and I wait until she is out of hearing range. “Does your mom have a boyfriend?” I ask Lucia.
