Page 95 of I Won't Be In On Monday

“You’d never be able to handle it.” He shoots back at her.

“I don’t thinkitwould be able to handle me.” She looks him up and down. “To be honest, I don’t think you should even try.”

“I don’t even need to try to get...” He leans toward her and whispers in her ear and she blushes. I look back over at Remington and he shakes his head.

“Looks like we got more trouble coming to the office.” He grins as he pulls me into him. “By the way, I told Canyon about us and she wants you to move in.”

“What?” I touch the side of his face. “She wasn’t upset?”

“Not at all. She loves you. She wants to be around you all the time.” He grins at me and gives me a quick kiss. “She’s a great judge of character.”

“And she’s okay about Karen extending her contract?” I ask softly, wondering if she would feel abandoned.

“She is.” He nods. “Karen’s going to come back next month for two weeks and Canyon will spend time with her. Then she’ll come back to me full time for the next year. I told Karen that I want joint custody when she gets back to the States and she’s amenable. I think she’s grateful that Canyon and I have bonded so quickly. She told me she was worried.”

“I think we were all worried, but you’re a great dad.”

“Great enough to be the father of your kids someday?” He asks softly and my heart races as I picture little Remington’s running around.

“I think so.” I nod softly. “If that’s what you want.”

“Is it sexist if I say I want you barefoot and in the kitchen for the next ten years?”

“Yes.” I giggle as I run my fingers across his chest. “But maybe I don’t mind that so much. As long as I still have time to write.”

“You will have as much time as you want.” He grins happily. “So does that mean you're moving in soon?”

“No!” I giggle. “My dad has to approve of you and our relationship first. You can come to lunch this weekend right?”

“Try and stop me.” He nods. “Lila said she will babysit for me. How are you and he doing? Are you still upset about his lady friend?”

“No. I think I was just taken aback, but I’m happy for him. He deserves love again. I guess I just thought he’d never love anyone again after my mom, but I don’t want him to be alone forever. Especially now that I have you.”

“I don’t think I’d ever be able to be with anyone after you.” He says seriously. “You are it for me.”

“Well, thank you, Remington.”

“That’s it?” He frowns.

“What?”

“Am I not it for you?”

“I mean if Leonardo Di Caprio decided he wanted to date me, if we ever broke up, I may not be able to say no. Or Brad Pitt, or Ben Affleck, or?—.”

“We are never having hall passes.” He bursts out laughing. “Your list is way too long.”

“You’re the only one I want, lover boy.” I bite down on my lip and then move to kiss his cheek. My lips press against his skin until they are next to his ear. “In fact, I’m wet right now. I wish we could escape somewhere so that you could slide that big cock in me and fuck me hard and fast.” He gasps at my dirty words and I love the fact that I’ve made his heart race faster.

“Don’t tease me, Juniper. I will have you in the bathroom faster than you can blink.” He grabs my hand and slides it along the front of his pants. He is rock hard and I swallow quickly. “Let me know the word and I’ll get up right now.”

“No, we can’t.” I shake my head quickly. “I don’t want anyone to know.”

“How will they know?”

“They will know.” I roll my eyes. “I’m not rushing off to bang you in the bathroom. I told you what happened to my cousin, right?”

He grins in response as he thinks about the story I told him. “The one across the country? Emma or something?”
