Page 25 of Their Little House Colter
And, once again, I was overthinking things.
“I don’t think you should wear your sneakers in the house.”
Dallas reached into his backpack and pulled out a pair of slippers. “Put these on.” He did something to them and suddenly they were flickering—like they were filled with fairy lights.
“You got those for me?”
He grinned. “Let’s go eat, and then we can play with Daddy.”
They fit perfectly.
Ari was in the kitchen, dishing up divided plates with macaroni and cheese—the kind from the box, which was my favorite—and chicken nuggies. They weren’t the ones Dallas liked. These were shaped like dinosaurs. But then again, Daddy wouldn’t have known that he loved the heart-shaped ones best, nor would he have thought to buy them before they were all gone.
Ari also had little sprigs of broccoli with ranch dressing on the dishes. He gave us trees—to eat. This was one little who was happy to avoid all things green. Except lollipops. Green was fine for those.
Dallas sat down at one of the placemats—the one in front of him covered with images of dinosaurs. “I’m ready to eat.”
I took the other seat. My placemat had farm animals covering it.
“Okay, be sure to eat your broccoli,” Ari said, pointing to the trees in front of us. “They’re good for you. And I made them small, so if you use enough ranch, you might not even taste them.”
Dallas giggled. “How’d you know?”
“Daddies know.”
The three of us ate until we were full and ready to move on to the play portion of the night. But before we did, Ari went to the fridge and grabbed two sippy cups. “These are for you two.” They were covered with ducks that matched Dallas’ hat and one had my name on it and the other Dallas’.
“I know you guys like to be twinsies.”
“I really do!” I snatched mine from him. “Twinsies are the best!”
We went into the living room, where he had some coloring books, some Duplo blocks, and a basket of stuffies.
“I wasn’t sure what you’d want to play with today. I thought this could be a start, and if you think of things for next time, we can make sure I have those too.”
“I’ve got something!” I ran to the other room, grabbed my dragon, and came back out. “I got Draggy!” I plopped in front of the coffee table.
“I see that. Did you want a stuffie to hug too?” he asked Dallas, who nodded and snatched a stuffie from the basket.
We colored first then built some blocks. Then, when Daddy said we hadn’t been drinking our milk enough, we piled onto the couch together and watched a cartoon, happily sipping away.
It was fun and adorable, and I loved every minute of it.
But also…snuggling up with Dallas and Daddy was making me quite hard, and it was getting more difficult to ignore by the minute.
Chapter Twenty
Ari
Little time was as amazing as it could possibly be, but then…as if we’d agreed on it, it was over and the heat between us sizzled. I had thought the whole night would be little time, and had planned accordingly, but who was I to argue when the two sexiest men I’d ever met wanted to have big time?
As host, it was my job to make their evening everything they could want. And it didn’t hurt that when I came out of the kitchen with a plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies, they sprawled on either end of the sofa looking…different somehow. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Their mindset had changed, which was great, and mine was quick to follow.
“I think I want to be big now,” Colter said.
I looked down at him.
“Parts of me are getting big,” he explained, pointing to where his erection was growing. “And I thought maybe we could have some big time together.”
