“And what do you believe now?”

I sit up and bring Hayley closer so that she straddlesher cheek She’s watching me from below her lashes and, fuck me, it’s so damn sexy “You make me want to believe it exists, and that I deserve it”

I hear her sharp inhalation before she says, “Of course you deserve it Everybody does It doesn’t always happen e expect it, but that’s the beauty of it When it catches you by surprise, that’s when you know it’s for real”

We stare at each other for what feels like an eternity, and I feel like I’reen pools of her eyes Our heartbeats are in perfect synch, thruinary tune

“Caet stuck in her throat just as her phone vibrates next to the bed She drops her head and groans into my shoulder

“You’d better get that, buttercup” I kiss her neck, nipping it with et ready anyway, I’ Noah in a little while and then I have to study” Asto leave Hayley’s bed, our exaraduate, rades are also a priority

Hayley groans, “Fine,” and then slides frorins wickedly

“You’re going to pay for that one, baby” I get out of bed and head to the bathroo on it,” before answering her phone After a fewunder the hot water, Hayley’s arms slide around my waist, and she makes it next to impossible for me to leave

I dress before Hayley finishes up in the bathrooreet Mrs Tanner and then watch Ari’s face light up at the sound of my voice

“Can Ime a friendly smile For a while now I’ve been worried that the woman doesn’t like me, which is absurd because let’s face it, all women likeme up, the sahtly different, and she’s not only looking out for Hayley, but for Ari, too I can respect that and hopefully she’s starting to see that I would never intentionally do anything to hurt either of them

“That would be great, thanks, Mrs Tanner”

She frowns “Cameron, please, I’ve told you a thousand times to call me Marie, or Gaht be six feet under but God knows I’ve never liked her Are we clear?”

I chuckle “Yes,my mistake “I mean, yes, Marie”

“That’s better”

I take a seat in front of Ari and fork some of the fruit that has been cut up for her I know Jordan loves it when I feed hi the fork around andthe plastic fork in Ari’sin anticipation for ht that I’d end up in a relationship with someone who has a two-year-old, but for some reason, that beca Sure, it’s a little harder to get some alone time, and we’ve had to be creative when it comes to when and where we have sex, but I’ve never felt like it’s a hassle or inconvenience It surpriseswith Hayley and Ari has becoivenwhen I told Hayley that she makes me want to try, and every day since I told her aboutwithout much effort

“Again!” Ari squeals I take the last piece of fruit and dip the fork in dra to crash land in her little rin when she looks at me The hair onsoainst the wall just inside the kitchen She gives me her secret smile and my stomach trips over itself God, I love it when she looks at ht alone makes my insides do another flip

Ari wriggles in her high chair when she spots Hayley across the room “Mommy!”

Hayley saunters over to us and gives Ari a kiss on the forehead Her love for Ari pulsates off of her in waves, and admittedly, for the first tiht sexy as fuck My ar

“You know,” I whisper into her ear so that only she can hear me “I always knew I’d date a MILF”
