“Dad, Dad, guess what?”Cole shouts, running towards me, his blonde hair just like his mama’s, falling over his face.
The kid is a spitting image of his mama, right down to his bright green eyes, and is in need of a haircut.
I raise a brow in question, ignoring Trish, who is watching us intently, and he states excitedly, “I lost my tooth,” as he shows me said tooth before doing some weird little shimmy dance, making me laugh.
“He’s so your son with those dance moves…” A sweet voice carries, and I look towards the door to find my beautiful wife leaning against the doorframe, shaking her head at our son.
“My dance moves are not that bad,” I protest, my heart racing as I look over her.
Fuck she’s beautiful and my cock that twitched for Trish is standing at attention now for his wife.
“Oh, they are,” Ash confirms firmly, making me smirk as she reminds me, “Prom? Remember, I wore open-toe heels and ended up in the emergency room because you actually broke my big toe…”
“Dad, you didn’t….” Cole giggles, and I grin widely as I admit, “Oh I did.”
I'd sat with her the whole time in the ER before I made love to her all night after we got home as an apology.
Trish clears her throat, gaining my attention, and gone is the flirty girl who tried to get in my pants as she says softly, “Thank you so much for my tattoo, I’ll pay at the desk.” I nod, and she looks at Cole, then Ashley, and smiles before shaking her head and walking out.
“I take it she wanted your number?” Ash confirms, and I laugh, not at all shocked that she put two and two together.
“You jealous?” I ask with a sly smirk, and she raises her brow and reminds me, “I’ve been with you since I was ten years old, you are mine, so no, I’m not jealous.”
My smirk softens into a soft smile, and I lift my arm for her, needing her body up against mine, needing her skin touching me.
She pushes off the frame instantly and walks into my embrace as she mumbles, “Your son was extremely excited when I picked him up from school about his tooth and wanted to see you.”
I hum as I press my lips against her forehead before I breathe in her vanilla and coconut smell that I love so much and confirm, “You’re not working tonight?”
She shakes her head and admits, “I wanted the evening with my family,” and I smile, holding her tightly.
Two great minds think alike.
“Is that my favorite grandson?” I hear, and I look to see my dad standing just outside his tattoo room, a grin on his face so big it stretches the scar across his cheek that his dad gave him tomake himtougher.
Unfortunately for grandpa, it made Dad so tough he killed him with the very knife he used to carve his sons face up.
“Grandpa, I’m youronlygrandson.” Cole giggles as he rushes over to my dad who hums as he wraps his arm around Cole.
“That is right, you are, aren’t you?” Dad confirms, and Cole nods before looking my way and asks, “When am I going to get another grandchild?”
I smirk as I look down at my wife with a raised brow, who looks at me with red cheeks and a shy smile on her face, making her look even more beautiful as her green eyes sparkle with dare I say… hope?
Hmm, if she wants another child, we can definitely work on that…
I look back at Dad and confirm, “We’ll work on it!”
He grins widely as Ashley shakes her head and hides her face in my chest, making me chuckle as I gently rub my fingers up and down her back, and Dad replies, “Good, now, why don’t you and your wife talk that through? I’m stealing my grandson.”
Cole goes willingly, no stealing required, and I look down as Ash leans her chin against my chest and looks at me underneath those long eyelashes of hers.
She hasn’t got a lick of makeup on and is fucking gorgeous.
I’m a lucky fucker.
“Another baby, huh?” she asks sweetly.
I grin and remind her, “Cole is nearly ten, baby, I think we may have waited long enough for another,” and I gently cup her cheek.
