“You’ve got a cute kid.” You’ve got a cute everything, is what I want to say in response.
“I know it’s weird to offer, but I can hold him if you wa—” “No,” I snap. “Geez.” “I mean, no, thank you. He doesn’t do well with women.” “Wonder where he got that from.”
Lmfaooo
“Oh, well that’s good. I mean, that’s not good. Or maybe it is good? Who am I to say? Goddamn, this elevator is taking forever.” She slaps a palm over her mouth, her eyes darting to Max. “I mean, gosh dang it.” That finally makes me chuckle, a small grin sliding across my lips. She softens a bit. “He does smile.”
“Maybe he should loosen up every once in a while. He’s got a cute-ass kid and an even cuter smile when he shows it.”
“Or should I say, Baseball Daddy? Oh yeah. Much better. Baseball Daddy, it is!”
I’m telling you this, not as her dad but as your friend. She will leave when the summer is over. I love my daughter to death, but she’s a runner and the last thing she wants is to get caught.”
“And Ace,” he calls out. “Keep your dick in your pants. We all know how fucking fertile you are, and I’m too young and too goddamn attractive for someone to be calling me Grandpa.” “Jesus Christ,” I huff, leaving his room.
I’m just tired. Tired of doing it all alone. Tired of feeling like I’m not doing enough.
I’m not quite sure what’s so fascinating to me about her thighs, but they’re thick and muscular, the kind you get from years of playing softball. And I can’t stop imagining how blissfully constricting they’d feel around my waist. Or even better—my face.
“He’ll be on his hands and knees most of the time.” “As all men should be.”
“If touching my boobs makes you chill the fuck out, please, be my guest.”
Lmfao
The hits keep coming. He doesn’t want Kai to give up his life for Max the way he had to give up his life for me.
No i dont think thats it
“Dad, that was a very long, drawn-out way for you to tell me not to have sex with your pitcher.” “Well, my way sounded a whole lot more poetic than that, but yeah, don’t have sex with my pitcher.”
Lmfao
They’ve got some weird thing about breakfast that they like to keep it to themselves, but they made an exception today.
Squealing iykyk
“Coach’s daughter, Kai?” Indy wears a knowing grin. “Interesting. I do love that plot line.”
“Come.” “God,” she moans, head falling back. “I can’t wait to hear you say that in the bedroom.”
Lmfaoooooooo yaaasssss
“If you’re as terrible of a listener in the bedroom as you are in real life, Miller, I can promise you this, you wouldn’t be allowed to come.” Those pretty lips part, jade eyes wide. “Two can play this game, Montgomery. Now, let’s go.” I nod toward the other side of the house once again. Her lips press together, holding back a grin. “You keep talking like that, Kai, and I’ll be ditching the ‘baseball’ part and just be calling you ‘daddy.’”
She might not have to worry, but I do. Because with Miller Montgomery, my coach’s daughter, standing in my kitchen looking like that, I’m afraid something very dangerous has already gotten in.
“Miller.” “Hmm?” “You’re sexualizing me in your mind right now, aren’t you?” “Absolutely.” The corner of his lips tick.
“Sorry,” I apologize. “It’s too late to be getting deep on you.” “It’s never too late to go deep in me, Baseball Daddy.” A startled laugh bursts from my lips, breaking the tension. “You’re ridiculous.”
“If you’re going to start coming to my games, I better see Rhodes on your back and I’m not talking about my brother.” “Is this some athlete kink you got? Need to see a girl in your jersey?” The old flirty side of me that I’ve kept hidden and locked down for the most part since Max came into my life is itching to break free. I pop my shoulders. “I like to see pretty girls in my jersey. Like to take it off them too.” Miller’s lips part, a shocked and satisfied grin lifting on the corners. “Well, with that kind of promise, I’ll be sure to wear it next time.”
“I make Max happy. Monty makes Max happy, but I don’t see you looking at us like you want to fuck us against the wall.”
Lmfao
There’s only one instance in which I can see myself gagging in Kai Rhodes’ presence, and it sure as hell isn’t from liquor.
Omfg
You’re not going to gag, are you?” I pop my shoulders. “Hopefully later.” He shakes his head—his typical move when I’ve said something that’s caught him off guard. “You flirting with me, Montgomery?” “Have been since we met. You gonna start flirting back?”
“Kai, I am not your problem.” My attention dips to her lips. “Be my problem.” Swallowing, she tilts her head, testing me. “Then do something to make me your problem.”
“You promised to help me find my balance in life. I thought I’d try to help you find your joy.”
The other part, where you’re convincing yourself that because you sleep in a place with wheels it’ll keep you detached from everyone around you, that’s on you.”
He rubs soft circles over the sensitive area before he uses said thumb to stretch my skin, exposing my clit and flicking his tongue over it just once.
Oh its a maaaaaaan
“This is all I had to do to shut you up?” he continues. “Lick this pretty cunt to get you to stop talking?” I simply fist the sheets and squeeze my thighs in response. “Mmm,” he hums, vibrating my entire core. “Yes, baby. Suffocate me.”
Omfg
“Getting you off gets me off. You should stop entertaining boys with any other mindset.” He drops his briefs to the ground, and I can’t breathe. “In fact, you should stop entertaining other boys in general.”
This mannnnnnnn
“For me?” “It’s always been only for you.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter if you see me or not. You’re going to feel every inch of me. I’ll be so deep, you’ll be able to feel me in your fucking throat, and I can promise you, Miller, your body won’t let you forget me.”
“I’d really appreciate it if we steer away from talking about me knocking you up while I’m rearranging your insides.” I raise an impressed brow. “Yes, Daddy.” “Jesus Christ.”
Lmfao
I think she might be a little bit crazy. My favorite brand of crazy, but crazy nonetheless.
“He kept screaming and crying and I really think he hates me, and you hated me when I first got here, and I just know you’ll both love that redhead.” What the fuck is she on about?
Lmfao im crying
“Mills, you already are mine. Even if I haven’t been allowed to show you, you’ve always been mine.”
Today is Miller’s birthday and it started just the way I wanted it to—with my face between her legs.
Lucky woman
I’m accustomed to being the one out there in her place, but she looks damn good on this field, especially while wearing my last name.
“I don’t want her giving up her entire life for me only to realize I’m not worth sticking around for.”
“Mama.” Max grins, so proud of himself for saying a name I now realize he’s been trying to say for weeks. “Mama! Mama!” Miller’s head whips in my direction. She’s on the brink of an emotional meltdown while holding my son, who is looking at her as if every missing puzzle piece in his life has been put back together. He settles himself back on her chest, quietly repeating the word over and over again while Miller rocks him and cries her fucking eyes out.
Im crying
“Miller, you’re not just another person.” He won’t look at me, his attention locked on the ground, and I catch the first tear fall from under his glasses, hitting the floor. “You put me first when I forgot how to. You reminded me what it felt like to be important, to be chosen first. I know you wanted this to be easy and detached, but you’re fucking in here.” His fingers meet his chest, tapping it a couple of times, blue eyes meeting mine, and full of pain. “You’re everywhere, and when you leave tomorrow, I’ll still see you everywhere. In this kitchen. In Max’s room. In my bed. There’s nothing
...more
“Miller,” he says, making sure my attention is on him. “If you ever decide to stop running and make a home…” His eyes are begging, pleading. “Make it with me.”
Banana (Nana) Bread—the one that got me back in my groove. M&M Cookies—named after my favorite people. And finally, the one that makes my eyes burn. Mae’s Tiramisu—for the woman I never got to meet but who raised two amazing men. I hope I follow in your steps by being a fantastic boy-mom.
“This is what I want. This life together. The three of us. You keep me grounded, Kai, and I’ll keep you wild.”
