Mary walked up to me and smiled. “To think I used to be that kind of a bitch.”
I looked at her, shocked. Then I busted out laughing. “Mary, you will never know how much of a breath of fresh air you are.”
She winked. “I wasn’t always like this. I used to care more about how my nails looked than whether my son had his dinner.”
“Really?” I asked, surprised.
She nodded. “The moment I laid my eyes on Lily, it was like I’d been given a second chance. In a way, Lily brought Cale and me back together. In fact, we’ve been closer in the last three months than we have been in his entire life.”
I looked down at my baby girl in her grandmother’s arms and smiled.
“Let’s get this ridiculous cake out there and eat it, shall we?”
Mary grinned and said, “Yes, let’s. Come on, Lily! Let’s go show them how we celebrate Princess Lily’s three-month birthday!”
CALE SHUT THE door and leaned against it. I sat down on the bed and sighed.
“Maddie, I hate to say this, but your mother is a bitch. And she’s my boss’s wife!”
I chuckled. “You’re not the only one who thinks that. I don’t honestly know how my father puts up with her.”
Cale slowly nodded. “I thought Monica was going to jump across the table and bitch-slap her when your mom said the lasagna wasn’t cooked properly.”
I laughed and dropped back onto the bed, kicking my heels off and groaning. “Oh God,” I said. “Why did I invite her? Oh, yeah—she’s my evil mother and would never let me live it down if she’d been left out.”
I felt the bed move and looked to see Cale lying next to me. “I’m glad my parents decided to head home and not stay the night.
I smiled and nodded my head.
Cale smiled and said, “So that cake.”
I covered my face with my hands and groaned again. “I know, I know. I got carried away. I promise, no more month birthdays. I’ll stick to the years, and I promise not to go crazy with the cakes.”
He rolled onto his side and pulled me to face him. “I loved it. I loved how you made Lily’s third, um, month so special.”
I giggled and bit my lip. “This is what happens when a girl goes from a full-time high-stress job to being a stay-at-home mom with a part time job.”
“How are things at Crystal Bridges?”
I smiled. “I love it. I really do, Cale. It’s amazing to go to a job and love what you’re doing. And to be able to leave the job at work when you walk out the door. I mean, I love being home with Lily, but spending just two days a week at the library and talking to people is wonderful. Plus, it gives your mom an excuse to spend time with Lily.”
Cale smiled. “Yeah, she loves it.”
I sat up and turned. “Will you unzip me?”
Cale sat up and ran his hand up my arm, making me shudder. His touch did the most amazing things to me. He moved his hand along the nape of my neck, pulling me closer.
“You looked beautiful tonight, Maddie.”
I closed my eyes as he moved his lips to my neck and began gently kissing me.
“Mmm, feels so good,” I said.
“I want to make love to you, Maddie,” Cale whispered against my skin.
He moved his hand to my zipper and began unzipping my dress, then stood, pulling me up along with him. He pushed my dress off my shoulders and let it fall to the floor, letting his eyes wander slowly over my body, as if he was memorizing every detail.
I unclipped my bra and pulled it off, dropping it next to my dress. Cale licked his lips, hunger filling his eyes. I slowly pulled off my panties while looking into his eyes.
I took a few steps back and lay on the bed. I watched as Cale stripped out of his clothes and quickly joined me.
“There is nothing I desire more than making love with you,” I said against his lips.
His hand started on my cheek, then moved down to my chest, slowly making it’s descent to my upper thigh. My stomach clenched in anticipation. I’d been dreaming of this since Cale had whispered that he wanted me, earlier tonight, while my father was telling Monica and me about a charity project he was starting.
Right as his fingers found my need, Lily started crying.
“No! Oh, no not now,” I whimpered.
I closed my eyes and attempted to pull my libido back into check, but I felt Cale’s hot breath blowing on my clit. My eyes sprung open and before I could even say a word he was licking and sucking on me.
My back arched and I let out a moan. “Cale! Lily…crying…Oh God…”
It didn’t take long before I was grabbing the pillow and moaning into it as Cale managed to give me an incredible orgasm. I’d never had an orgasm like that before. I wasn’t sure what he did, but it was amazing.
I lay there attempting to catch my breath while Cale got up and walked into the bathroom. I could hear the faucet running, so I sat up and looked toward the bathroom.
“Wow. Just…wow. Cale, that was…oh wow.”
He walked out dressed in those damn sexy-ass linen pants of his. The smile on his face melted my heart.
“How did you make me come so fast?”
He smiled bigger as he made his way to the bedroom door. He looked over his shoulder as he said, “I gave you a little ass action. I’ve always wanted to do that. Seemed like a good time to try it out.”
With that, he left the room. My mouth dropped open as I heard him run up the stairs.
I heard Lily’s door open over the baby monitor. Then I heard Cale talking to her.
“Hey, Princess. Are you hungry, baby girl? We’re gonna let mommy rest while you and I have a serious talk about how boys are to stay as far away from my princess as possible.”
I covered my mouth and chuckled. I looked at the monitor only to see Cale laying Lily down on the changing table and smiling. There was nothing sexier than him with his daughter.
I fell back onto the bed and smiled, thinking about how wonderful my life was. I bit down on my lip and rolled over to grab my phone off of the side table. I texted Monica.
Me: Hey are you up?
Monica: Yep. Just got home. I’m going to have to talk Jack into moving to Beaver Lake.
Me: Oh my gosh, I would LOVE that!
Monica: HAHA! Me, too! What’s up?
Me: Um…I have to ask you something.
Monica: Okay, ask away.
Me: It’s kind of sexual and embarrassing.
Monica: As long as you don’t ask me to make out with you, I think I can handle it.
Me: Have you…I mean…well…have you ever let Jack or anyone play with your…you know… Ugh this is so weird.
Monica: Back door action?
Me: OMG yes! How did you know that’s what I saying?
Monica: ‘Cause I’m good like that. Jack has been the only one to ever take that plunge.
Me: Jesus, I shouldn’t have asked. Officially taking back my question. Goodnight.
Monica: Oh, HELL no. You can’t ask me that and then not give me the chance to ask you about the same thing.
Me: Okay, well, Cale did something while giving me oral sex and I had the most powerful orgasm ever. I asked him how he was able to make me…you know…so fast.
Monica: What are we in high school? COME? How he made you COME so fast?
Me: Bitch! Yes. I asked how he made me come so fast and he said he did a little back door action, but I didn’t feel it. Or I was too caught up in the intense orgasm to notice.
Monica: Dayum. Go Cale! Gettin’ some double-hole action.
Me: All right, I’m done talking to you about this.
Monica: Oh my. I’m laughing so hard right now and Jack wants to know why!
Me: NO! You wouldn’t.
Monica: Oh. I would. Night darling.
I sighed as I set my phone back down on the side table. I heard Cale singing to Lily as I crawled under the covers. I’ll never be able to look at Jack again. Still, I felt my eyes getting heavier. I was going t
o have to tell Cale how much I enjoyed this part of the evening. I couldn’t help but smile at the way my body seemed to still be humming.
I drifted off to sleep to the sounds of the man I loved humming to Lily. Our daughter. My baby girl.
“I HEARD YOU got some back door action the other night,” Jack said as he threw the basketball, missing the hoop. “Damn.”
I stopped and looked at him. “What?”
Jack laughed. “Seems you were the first to do that to Maddie. She texted Monica about it.”
I smiled. “Really?”
Something about knowing Maddie had never played like that before had my dick jumping at the thought of doing it again tonight.
