Page 90 of Mr Nice Guy
She carefully unfolds the document, biting her lip as she sees what it is. “Forfeit of parental rights?” She flicks her gaze up to Tanner. “This is a condition of the settlement?”
He shakes his head. “No. You’ll get what we agreed on regardless. But I’m asking for this as well. This is something I need.”
She’s quiet for a long time before finally nodding. “Okay.”
I let out a breath of relief as she signs the document. Despite her declaration of wanting to change, you can never have too many guarantees.
“Thank you,” Tanner murmurs as Natalia hands the document back.
“What about…when she’s older?” Natalia asks. “If she wants to see me?”
“It’ll be her choice,” Tanner says.
“Can you…can you send me updates about her? Every now and then…photos or whatever.”
Tanner nods. “If you want. But that’d be the extent of your involvement. Like a birth mother in an adoption.”
I can sense Tanner’s relief coming off him in waves. Not only because the document has been signed, but because I know he’s been feeling uneasy about permanently cutting ties between Izzy and her mother. This sounds like the ideal compromise.
Natalia doesn’t stick around for much longer, and once Tanner and I are alone in the room together, I pull him into a tight hug, breathing in his delicious scent as he sinks into my hold.
“I told you everything would be sorted out today,” I murmur.
“Mmm…can I have that blow job now?”
I let out a loud chuckle and pull away from him. “Why don’t we heard home first? I don’t want Skyler walking in on us and complimenting your dick.”
He grins at me. “Have I mentioned how much I love that we have the same home now?”
“Maybe once or twice,” I say wryly. It’s a relatively new thing, since the school year ended and Izzy was no longer one of my students. That conveniently coincided with Natalia finally agreeing to a divorce, so when Tanner and I went public with our relationship there wasn’t a whole lot of fuss about it.
And, obviously, I love that we have the same home now as well. Not just because it means I get to hold him in my arms every night, and we have way more time together, but because of how much time I get with his family as well. Helping out with Izzy is awesome, and although I still feel like I’m on a bit of a learning curve, I love every moment I get to spend with her.
Jazz and Piper are regular visitors at the house, of course, and I’m glad to say Piper has finally warmed up to me. The other day she even asked for my opinion on a wedding dress she was looking at. I’m not sure my answer of, “Um, it’s…nice” was in any way helpful, but I’m taking the win anyway.
I grab Tanner’s hand and start moving toward the meeting room door. “Come on, let’s go home.”
He smirks at me. “Yeah, home’s good. Then I can cum on your face.”
