It’s been three days since Calliope and I reconnected at Podden’s pond, and I’ a whole lotsince The Cold Fury has been on break until the second round of the playoffs start toles, and I’ve been splittingwith Calliope While she works at the hospital during the day, I attend teas or sit by my dad’s hospital bed as we play cards or watch TV In the evenings after I eat dinner with my parents, I head over to Calliope’s apartment

She greetsbut some skimpy underhich I definitely approve of This is the new Calliope, a woerie wasn’t part of our teenage relationship That was et the about how she learned the art of seducing asilk and lace

I put that out of my mind, which is actually easy because when I’m near her, I’m consumed To say that sex is different with her is an understates she no to do with her mouth and her body she learned somewhere other than with me And while Calliope was always forward and adventurous during our young, immature sex life, now she’s openly wanton, and it turnsever has in my life

“He should be on the first line,” h that’s not exactly true, it fills me with a rush of love that my dad has beco up for lost time, and I need to let him kno much his words mean to me But that’s a conversation for later while in private

“Are you and Calliope back together again?” Mateo asks me, and I’m so startled by the question that I choke on the wine I just took a sip of

My eyes slam into Mateo’s, and I see the overprotective father I’d been wondering about I know just how easy he was taking it on me

His expression is clear, filled with both wonder and suspicion Will I hurt his little girl again?
