Then it rings.
Caroline and I groan at him as he reaches for it.
“Crap, Madi’s calling, and her ex just texted. Let me get this.”
His casual greeting shifts to worry. “What’s wrong, Madi?”
The jabbering of minions comes from Caroline’s phone, so I tease her, “What was that about leaving phones on?”
I pepper kisses along her side as she leans over me to grab it.
Roarke is making up some bullshit about the hospital, and being on his way home, when I pull Caroline’s phone from her hands. Holding it out of reach, I whisper, “I don’t want you distracted while I eat your pussy.”
It’s supposed to be funny.
We don’t have a rule about only being intimate when we’re together, that’s just how we’ve done it, but I want more tonight and if Roarke is leaving, that will be his loss.
Minions chatter from her phone again and her face turns ashen. Not meaning to upset her, I let her have it back.
“It’s Madi.” She stares at her dad who’s hanging up.
“Weren’t you on the phone with Madi?” Bennett asks Roarke who’s jumping out of bed and getting dressed.
“Yeah, I gotta go. I’ve never heard her this panicked. She told me not to open this message from her ex.”
Roarke picks his phone back up and appears ready to open the text when Caroline says, “If you open that, you’re putting her ex above her. You’ll never make up for the time you lost. Respect what she asked you to do.”
We stare at her, stunned.
“I met with her yesterday, she mentioned how lonely she’s been. She needs you.”
Roarke lowers his phone. “Okay, but you met with her, you’re friends with her again, right? What’s going on?”
“I don’t know. I couldn’t act like everything was fine when I’m hiding this giant secret from her. I’ve been waiting all week for you to tell her…”
“Let me go home and find out what’s wrong. I promise I’ll tell her.”
Caroline holds her phone up. “That second text was her asking if I’m with you.”
“Fuck. I’ll fix this.” Roarke drags a hand through his hair.
I stare back and forth between the two of them. “Roarke, go deal with your daughter. Caroline, you stay here with me.
Caroline rushes to Roarke, wrapping her naked body around him. “It’s going to be okay. You two need to talk, but once you do, I have a sneaking suspicion it will all work out.”
He swats her ass and my cock hardens again. If Roarke didn’t look so worried, I’d pull them back in bed for a quickie.
I toss the sheet back and stroke my cock. “For the record, Caroline and I are going to fuck the entire time you’re gone.”
Roarke slides a hand onto her sex, making her legs give out. My cock swells at the thought of how good that must feel, for both of them.
After causing her to gasp a few times, he says, “What if I told you to wait for me?”
Caroline guides his hand to her hip. “You’d find out that I still make bad decisions.”
Roarke shakes his head and laughs. “I need to find out what’s wrong with Madi.”
Caroline tiptoes to kiss Roarke’s lips. “Fine, hurry up and do your job to be a good dad, then get back here and be a good Daddy.”
