Page 50 of Just Is Not Enough

“That’s none of your business, G, but no you didn’t.”

“Darn, next time I’ll wait an hour longer.” I hear her fingers snap in the background along with her quip.

“G, is there a reason you called me at the butt crack of dawn?” Kaden groans next to me, obviously annoyed being woken up so early.

“Your aunt’s birthday is coming up next week. Make sure all you kids get here for the BBQ.”

Damn it, I almost forgot about the party. “We’ll be there. I’ll make sure everyone comes.”

“Okay, just an FYI, your parents will be here, too.”

Wonderful. That should be fun. “It’s not a problem. I can manage for a day. I always have, right?”

“Alright, kiddo. I’ll talk with you later. I love you.” G never forgets to tell me.

“Love you, G.”

“You’re too loud,” Kaden’s sleepy voice comes out from under the covers.

“Sorry, G called and wanted to make sure we were all coming to Brenda’s birthday BBQ next weekend. I’m sorry I forgot to tell you, but if you don’t come with me I think G might send out a search party for you.”

“Of course, now shush and go back to sleep.” Kaden’s days of early rising to run have lessened over the past month. I think he likes cuddling more than running at this point.

I’m proven right when he climbs on top of me and wraps his body around mine, koala bear style. His head rests on my chest, his shaggy morning hair tickling my chin.

“I can hear you thinking, it’s so loud it echoes in the room. What’s going on?” Kaden must sense the tension in my body.

“I haven’t seen my father in more than a year. He wasn’t home the last two times I went to visit them. They’re going to be at Brenda and G’s house next week.”

“Are you worried about seeing him in general or about me? I’m figuring he doesn’t know anything about us since you haven’t seen them.” He says the last part as a statement more than a question.

“Yeah, it’s not like I really talk to either of my parents besides the occasional text or call with my mother to let her know I’m still alive.” Kaden’s lips brush my chest, and it relaxes me enough to continue. “Those always go the same way. The third degree about when I’m getting married and giving her grandbabies.”

“That sounds like so much fun. She’s going to love me.” He sighs and I can already tell his anxiety is going to be through the roof at the BBQ.

“Nothing either of my parents say will matter when it comes to us. I don’t want you worrying about that.” Kaden gives a half nod against my chest as I tighten my arms around him, hopefully reassuring him that I mean what I said.

Before he starts to relax too much, I nudge him to get moving. “No more sleeping. You need to start getting ready for work. I’m going to make us a quick breakfast.”

He gives one last groan, gives a hasty kiss, and rolls off me and the bed onto his feet. He grabs some clothes from the couples drawers I cleaned out for him since he’s been staying over a few times a week now, and heads towards the bathroom. “Good, because I’m starving. We never got to eat the food we ordered last night at the bar.”

“If someone would behave themselves in public then we wouldn’t have missed eating now, would we?”

Kaden replies in his singsong tone, “If someone would stop rewarding me with his cock every time I misbehave then I wouldn’t have a reason to now, would I?” I throw a pillow at him just as he makes it to the doorway.

Fred’s starving wail drowns out Kaden’s amused shriek as he runs into the bathroom. “Go feed that poor thing, or I’ll call the ASPCA on you.” He yells as he shuts the door behind him.

Feeling like Kaden deserves a dose of his own medicine, I get ready to cook breakfast as unconventional as I possibly can.

When he arrives in the kitchen a little while later I am in front of the stove frying bacon, bare naked except for my full coverage apron. The lack of reaction I get is not what I was hoping for, though. Kaden is staring down at his phone wide-eyed scrolling.

“What’s going on?”

He looks up at me like he didn’t expect me to be there, instead of answering he hands me his phone. When I see the messages app on his screen is filled with incoming messages from an unknown number, I scroll to the beginning of the chat that started last night.

Nice show you just put on for the world to see.

Since when did you start having sex in public?
