Page 20 of I Saw Mommy Kissing Biker Claus

I grab a spoon and let him try my mashed potatoes. That brings a smile to his face.

“You’re a natural with him. It’s like he knew from the start that you were his papa.”

“Thank you, I spend a lot of time with the kids when we’re home.”

“You’re very patient and I love that about you.”

“You love that about me? That means you love me?” I tease her.

Leighton laughs.

“I love different aspects about you. I’m not one hundred percent sure if I love you…yet.”

“You love me.” I chuckle.

We sit down to eat and I make a mini version of our plates for Davis.

“This is delicious. Who taught you to cook?” she asks me.

“Mam taught me. She said that every man should know how to cook at least a few dishes. Never expect your woman to do all the cooking or all the cleaning. Partnership is the key to any relationship.”

“Your mam is a great woman. You’re very lucky to have her.”

“I am lucky. Giacomo and Caitríona saved me from myself. If I hadn’t met them, I don’t know what I’d be doing or even where I’d be.”

“You said before that things happen for a reason. So you meeting the Bastianinis was meant to happen. You’re a good person, that much I know. And you deserved to be saved. My siblings and Kayla helped me, kept me sane when I thought I wanted to just give up.”

“I’m glad you didn’t.”

“Me too. Especially now that Davis needs me, and well, I met you.”

I look over at Davis as he yawns.

“Maybe we should give him a bath. I think the salmon attacked him during dinner.”

Leighton laughs.

“You should’ve seen the first time we fed him baby food. The faces he would make were hilarious and half the time he would spit it out. I’ll find the videos and send them to you.”

“I’d like that,” I say as I pick Davis up and we head upstairs to the bathroom.

“I’ll grab his bath stuff and be right back,” she says as I nod.

“You ready for a bath? I’m pretty sure you got more salmon and mashed potatoes on you than in you.”

I turn the water on to let it warm up and then start filling the tub. I find some bubble bath in the cabinet and set it aside while I get him undressed. I put him in the sink so I can get my shirt off, I’m pretty sure I’m going to get wet doing this and I don’thave any extra clothes. Davis looks at my tattoos and points to them.

“Tattoos,” I say to him. “When you turn eighteen you can get one too.”

“He can get what at…” I trail off as I see Valentino shirtless.

Holy fucking shit. That man was already sexy with his shirt on and tattoos peeking out. But shirtless? Is he trying to give me a heart attack?

Valentino chuckles at me.
