Never Been Kissed

“Hey,” I answer.

“Is Daisy over there?”

“Oh shit. She sneak out?” Bow follows me in. Poor Daisy is the only girl out of all of these boys and we all know where she is if she snuck out. She’s with Eric. I’m surprised he let her sneak out. He wouldn't want her doing anything that would get her into trouble, but I’m sure if Daisy wanted to, she could talk my oldest son into anything. He’s always had a soft spot for her. She’s had him wrapped around her little finger since they were kids. I’m not sure there is anything he would deny her.

“I’ll call you back.”

“Thanks.”

“We have a stowaway,” I tell Bow as we head up the stairs. I give Eric’s door a soft knock before I open it. He’s sitting up in his bed, his back against the headboard. Daisy has her head resting on his chest. Eric raises his finger to his mouth, letting me know she’s sleeping and not to wake her.

“She had cramps. I finally got her to fall asleep. Don’t wake her up. Please. I can’t see her in pain like that.” I nod, stepping back out of the door. I leave the door cracked before heading back downstairs to call Bunny and tell her what’s up.

“He’s a good man. You know that.” Bow closes our bedroom door behind us.

“He gets that from you.” I wrap my arms around his neck. We all know Eric and Daisy are going to be together forever. There is no question about that. He’s been her silent shadow since she came into this world. “He knows how to treat a woman because he sees how you treat me.”

“And he knows what a good woman is because he’s got you.” He lifts me off my feet, taking me over to the bed. I love this man so damn much. It’s crazy how I thought one storm had taken everything from me when I was younger but another gave me all I could ask for. You really never know what life is going to bring you.

“We did good.”

“Real fucking good,” he agrees before kissing me. He was my first kiss and he’ll be my last.* * *
