“Daddy!” Cherish hollered from upstairs. “Close your eyes. Momma is coming down.”
“My eyes are closed.”
My sweetie pie giggled and squealed so damn cute. Cherish was a perfect blend of her parents with my gray eyes and Hope’s silky blonde locks. She was sassy and charming, kind and caring.
“Are your eyes closed?” she asked.
“Yes, sweetie pie.”
I dialed into Hope’s steps coming down the stairs. My heart raced, knowing she would steal my breath away. She didn’t even have to try. She could be in a stained T-shirt and baggy sweatpants, and she’d make me hard as granite. She was the sexiest woman on the planet, no matter what she wore.
She stopped.
“Can I open my eyes? Or are my girls going to torture me some more?”
Cherish tee-heed. “Okay, you can open your eyes.”
What the hell? Now that I had permission to look at my woman, I couldn’t.
“Open, Daddy, open!”
The doorbell rang, then it creaked.
“Grammy M and Nova are here!” Cherish clapped. “I’m having a sleepover like Daddy and Momma!”
I snorted. Not like us at all.
“Levi?” Hope said my name in a breathy, sultry voice. “Open your eyes before you embarrass yourself.”
“Yes, my love.” I hit my hand to my chest, taken aback. She had on a little black dress and red spikey heels. “Hope… baby.” If we didn’t leave fast, I honestly would embarrass myself. I shifted on my feet, willing my dick to stand-down.
“That’ good, huh?”
“If we were alone—”
“Wow, Auntie Hope! You look beautiful,” Nova said, nodding her head in approval.
“Thank you, sweet girl.” Hope sashayed toward me.
“Both of you look fabulous, now get gone,” Lady M said.
“Happy to.” I put my arm out to my bride.
“Thank you, handsome.” She looped her arm through mine and kissed my cheek. “Have fun, baby.” She looked for Cherish, but she’d already run off with Nova.
“Bye, Cherish,” I hollered. “We love you.”
“Love you! Bye.” Cherish was a spunky, self-confident, secure preschooler. Being our only child, she was also spoiled, but smothering her in love and toys hadn’t made her rotten. A child couldn’t be loved and adored too much in our minds. We gave Cherish everything my lovely wife never had as a child, especially lots of hugs and kisses.
Lady M laughed. “She’ll be fine. Have fun.”
“I plan to.” I wiggled my eyebrows at Hope.
An hour later, we entered our suite. Naturally, I had to feed my woman before we had raunchy sex. Okay, so maybe not raunchy. We’d toned down our sex play quite a bit over the years. Sex was still rockin’ and the best I ever had, but we were older and parents. We came to Aeros for our one night away from the kiddo. It was special, and I looked forward to it all year.
Hope sat on the corner of the bed and went to take her shoes off.
“Allow me.” I went down on one knee in front of her, lifted her foot, and slipped the sexy shoe off. “You make my chest tight; you’re so beautiful.” I removed the other red heel.
