“You sure can, baby.”
“OK.”
OK? Just like that?
“Do you have any questions you want to ask? Anything you need us to explain? Anything you want to tell us?” I love Ashlyn’s motherly tone.
Jacob inspects my sling. “What happened to your arm?”
I think this is a sign we can stop worrying about him being completely traumatized by my sudden appearance in his life.
“I hurt my shoulder when I was throwing a fast ball.”
His eyes widen. “You can throw a fast ball?”
“I sure can.” At least, I hope I still can after this injury heals. “I know everything there is to know about baseball because I’m a coach. And my father, who is your other grandfather, was a baseball coach too. He taught me and now both of us will teach you.”
I can’t wait for my family to meet Jacob. With my nephew on the way, my parents will be getting two grandsons in the same month.
“Will you play with me?” Jacob looks so excited.
“Honey, Daddy’s arm is hurt. He just had surgery so he can’t right now.”
I probably shouldn’t but I want to play ball with my son. I can’t disappoint him by saying no the first time he asks so I lift my right arm. “I can use this one.” He’s four. He won’t know if it’s a good pitch or not.
“You’re only one day post-op. You need to be on the couch taking it easy.” I’m pretty sure going down on Ashlyn and then fucking her doesn’t qualify as taking it easy.
I feel as if, in a four-year old’s mind, this is a telltale moment. I won’t let him down. “This is a very pivotal time in our relationship. I want to do this for him. I think it’s really important.”
Ashlyn sighs. “OK but please don’t hurt your shoulder trying to impress him.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t. I have too many other things I want to do tonight to impress you.”
I’m claiming my fiancée’s tight virgin ass tonight. And she’s going to love it.

Ashlyn stops kissingme every few seconds and looks at the bedroom door. That’s it. I’m shutting it. And locking it.
I pull away and get out of bed.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m shutting the door so you’ll stop watching it like the pussy patrol is going to burst through at any minute.”
“But what if he wakes up from a bad dream and calls out for me and I can’t hear him?”
“He’s fine, Ash.” I can see she isn’t satisfied with that. “But I’ll go check on him if it’ll make you feel better.”
“Please.”
I go into Jacob’s room, and just as I expected, his respirations are deep and even. My little buddy is fast asleep.
“Love you, son.” I place a kiss on his forehead and he doesn’t stir. The kiddo is worn out. We practiced batting an hour past his usual bedtime.
I return to Ashlyn’s bedroom and close the door behind me. “He’s fine. Knocked out cold.”
The lock pops loudly when I push the button.
