My phone buzzes again. It’s Chase.

>> On my way back. Miss me?

>>Yes.

When he walks through the door, he looks tired but happy to see me. “Hey, beautiful,” he says, pulling me into a hug.

“Hey,” I say, my face pressed against his chest. “How was your appointment?”

“Interesting, as always,” he replies. “Ready for our proper date tonight?”

“Can’t wait,” I say, looking up at him. He kisses me and everything else fades away.

We spend the rest of the afternoon lounging around his apartment, fucking,talking and laughing. Peanut naps in the sun spot on the floor, completely content.

I could get used to this.

Chapter Six

Declan

“Please hold the elevator,” someone calls out. I press the button and two people walk in.

I’ve seen the guy around the apartment a couple of times, but the woman is new. She’s wearing an oversized black shirt with jeans and boots. Her brunette hair is in a ponytail and she has a dog with her. She’s gorgeous.

“Look, Daddy, a doggy!” Lily tugs my hand, excitement in her blue eyes. I glance down, and sure enough, there’s a tiny puppy on the floor. The woman turns and smiles at me, then crouches to my daughter’s height.

“This is Peanut,” she says.

“Hey, Peanut!” Lily cries out. “Daddy, can I pet him?”

The woman looks up at me, smiling. “He’s harmless.”

I nod once, watching as she places the dog into Lily’s hands. They pet the dog together, Lily’s giggles filling the small space.

“What’s your name?” the woman asks Lily.

“I’m Lily and this is my daddy, Declan.”

“I’m Millie and this is Chase,” she introduces herself and the man beside her. I catch Chase watching her and a pang of jealousy hits me. Millie is beautiful.

“Where are you going?” Lily asks Millie.

“Lily, that’s inappropriate,” I say, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Millie giggles, a sound that sends a small thrill through me. “It’s okay. We’re headed to the dog park.”

“Can we go, Daddy?” Lily’s blue eyes look up at me, filled with hope.

“We were going to get you dinner and then I have to get to practice,” I remind her. Her face falls and I feel a pang of guilt. The elevator doors open.

“Nice to meet you!” Chase says to me.

I nod once. Millie takes the dog back and tells Lily, “Hopefully next time, we can go to the park together.”

Lily claps her hands. “Okay! Bye, Millie!”

We walk in the opposite direction, heading to my car. “She’s so nice, isn’t she, Daddy?”
