“Aja, come eat, baby girl. You know it’s bedtime in a few.”
I cackled and watched him as Aja re-entered the kitchen a few seconds after her father made her plate.
“Are we gonna do s’mores when we get to the house?” Aja asked, sitting at the island eating her food.
I looked at Oden who had his arms crossed, watching his daughter intently. I could tell he loved her, it emitted from him. There was something else too, need or maybe guilt he carried after her mother left.
He nodded. “I mean, if you want to.”
She then directed her attention to me. “I do. Ms. Jade, have you ever had s’mores?”
“No, I haven’t. Have you?”
“Yes. My favorite part is the chocolate. When Daddy took me camping, I didn’t like the graham cracker that much.” She made an expression to say yuck which made me laugh.
I nodded. “See ,I haven’t been, but I love graham crackers so I think that would be my favorite part.”
Aja shook her head. “I don’t see how. They’re so nasty. They taste like cardboard. Yuck.”
I laughed. We talked for a while longer before Aja was finished eating. After telling both me and her father goodnight, she retreated to her room to shower and sleep.
“She is so sweet and polite,” I complimented.
He laughed. “That’s because she likes you.”
“Oh, she does, huh?”
“Yep.” He held a spoon of potatoes to my mouth.
I accepted, opening my mouth as always. The potatoes were thick, so thick I just knew he’d mashed them without the skin. They tasted so good. I could go for a whole plate of them with nothing else. If I stayed like this with this man, I was gonna be screwed.
“So, about me feeding you fully… What does that entail?”
I swallowed the potatoes, eyes tracing his frame. “What do you think?”
He nodded. “I think you need to tell me when you’re finished eating, so we can take this to the back.”
“Okay.” I opened my mouth for more potatoes, him between my legs, scooping them from the plate next to me before he fed them to me. “Now.”
I made it to his room before he did because he checked on Aja to make sure she was good. I assumed she was knocked out when I looked up and he was standing in the doorway shirtless.
“I take it she’s asleep.”
He nodded. “Been that way since a baby, she eats then sleeps every time. I’ll wake her up early to shower in the morning.”
“Cool.” I pulled my shirt off, moving toward the master bathroom, knowing he’d follow.
“You call yourself teasing me, Jade?” he asked, my back still to him as I leaned into the shower room to turn the water on.
“No, I didn’t think you needed an invite to shower with me.” I was about to unclasp my bra but he was so close behind that he did it for me.
“I don’t.”
As a matter of fact, he took it upon himself to help me undress. Seconds after my bra fell, he turned me around, pulling my body into him by my jeans. He unbuttoned them, then dropped, pushing them down my thighs.
“Tight ass jeans.”
I giggled, my hands resting on his shoulders. “They’re form-fitting.”
