“Kayden has limits on the whole theme park thing,” Jace said. “Go ahead, babe.”
Kayden sighed and searched my face like he was worried I’d care. I would one-thousand percent not give a shit what his concerns were. I was as happy to avoid things that made him anxious as Jace was.
“I do not want to go anywhere near rides that are fast and spin in circles—those make people vomit and I have a pretty intense vomit phobia. I’m not willing to work on it because the only way to resolve it is exposure therapy and I will not be doing that.”
I wrinkled my brow. “Other people vomiting or you vomiting? Or is it the anticipation of vomit?”
“All of the above.”
“Okay, and you know children throw up more often than is ideal?” I asked. Kaylee had brought home at least one stomach bug per winter since the beginning of her existence. “Our daughter will throw up around you at some point.”
“Jace also mentioned that and the germs in general. He said he’s seen more vomit since he started hanging out with the two of you than he did in college.”
I laughed and Jace smiled proudly. “It’s true.”
Kayden frowned, looking somewhat remorseful as he continued, “I’m prepared to deal with the three of you should a stomach bug plague our lives, but I will not be an optimal caretaker for any of you.”
I kissed him and smiled. “It’s okay. Jace is a great caretaker. He’s helped us through a few stomach bugs and never gets sick himself. Should we continue with your theme park concerns?”
“Sure, but you’ll note a theme,” Kayden said with a wrinkled nose. “I don’t ride rollercoasters. One, vomit. Two, while I understand the actual physics and stability process, there’s still something about being thrown upside down that seems like itshouldbe against physics, and I’m not interested in placing my life in the hands of centripetal force.”
“Fair enough; I assume that’s how we stay in the seat when they go upside down?” I asked.
Jace shook his head and his eyes went wide as he groaned. “No, do not ask questions like that, Liv.”
I shifted my eyes between them. Kayden pinched Jace’s side and rolled his eyes. “He’s just cranky because he got a physics lesson before his coffee.”
“Okay, well then forget I asked, I don’t want one of those.”
“Are you sure? I’m very sexy when I share knowledge.” He adjusted his glasses with one finger and I felt a jolt of desire.
“Wow. Now I know why Jace struggles at the office,” I said.
Jace laughed and kissed me as Kayden shook his head affectionately at us. “Just tell her the last theme park condition, baby,” Jace said.
“I’m going to need us to get through this without Kaylee wanting cotton candy, because the idea of pink and blue vomit is an image I can’t get out of my head.”
I smiled at him. “Kaylee has never had cotton candy, there is no reason she should start tomorrow.”
“Or ever?” he asked hopefully.
“It’s literally all sugar; I will never fight you on this one,” I said. “Is that all?”
“Yep.”
“Then I guess we’re going to Six Flags tomorrow,” I said. “I want to pick Kaylee up soon, but Jace said you’re a good cook.”
Kayden smirked at me and shook his head at Jace. “I can make us breakfast before you go.” He kissed my forehead.
“I may not cook much,” Jace said, sliding down our bodies. “But I can simultaneously get you both off.” He raised his eyebrows in suggestion and started stroking Kayden while rubbing my clit.
“I could really get used to mornings like this,” I said, as Kayden and I curled into each other and Jace worked to bring us both to orgasm. I was going to become very attached to these two if they kept making me feel like I could have all this and still be a great mom to Kaylee.
“Come on, Kayden!” Kayleesaid, dragging her father toward the log flume ride.
He turned back to look at Jace and me. “It’s fall in Boston and we’re going to get soaked? I have new amusement park fears after this trip. Hypothermia, for starters.”
Jace reached for him and gave his hand a squeeze. “I’m sure you do. Let her have this one, and we can buy new clothes at the gift shop if we get too wet.”
