Goddamn, today was fun.It felt good.Right.
The laughter.
The kid calling me stepdad without hesitation.
Kelly cheering from the stands like she believed in me.
For a man who spent most of his life alone, it’s almost too much.
The bathroom door creaks open.
I figure it’s nothing.Me forgetting to close the door properly—I’ve done that a thousand times.
Yeah, probably just the wind.
But then the glass shower door slides open.
And I turn.
And there she is.
Kelly.
She’s standing there completely naked.
Hair loose around her shoulders.
Skin warm and flushed.
Soft curves I know by heart.
My chest tightens as it does whenever I see her.
Every damn time.
“Honey,” I murmur.
She steps into the shower without a word.
The water runs over her shoulders as she presses against me.
Warm.
Familiar.
Right.
My arms wrap around her automatically, pulling her close.
She lifts her arms, wrapping them around my neck, and she pulls me down to meet her eager mouth.
“Evan?”
“Already showered and playing.I told him he gets thirty minutes to play then we’re having snacks and a family movie.”
“Thirty minutes, huh?”
“Yep.”
