Dan wasn t sure he agreed with Crissi s edict against saying hate . It was
shorthand for disliking something or someone, just like love might equally be
applied to chocolate cake or a person. He didn t want to stifle Cara s ability to
express what she was feeling. But Crissi was pretty adamant, and probably she
was right.
They make me so mad, I hate them, Cara said.
Dan dropped it. What do they do?
Cara took another deep breath and launched into a laundry list of complaints
about Beth and Brianna, the two evil bees of the kindergarten class, according to
her.
As he listened, Dan wondered when it was time to intervene and talk to the
teacher and when it was best to let kids work out their own shit. It was
impossible to know. Maybe all he really needed to do, for now, was listen, share
what he d learned with Crissi and then keep on top of the situation.
When Cara finally wound down, he leaned and kissed her hot, wet cheek.
Sounds like you ve been having a really bad time with those girls.
Yeah. Can you tell them to stop being mean to me?
Well, sometimes you have to just learn to get along with people you don t
like. It s not easy, but that s part of growing up. He paused. You keep telling
me or your mom or Louis when you re unhappy. If you aren t able to work
things out with those girls on your own, then maybe we can help. But sometimes
enemies can become friends if you keep on being nice to them.
He sounded like some stupid public service announcement about bullying.
Was he setting his daughter up to get tormented some more by little snots?
Damn, making decisions as a dad was hard.
He stood up and held out his hand. Tell you what. Why don t you put on
your swimsuit while I get Liam changed, and we ll join Louis in the pool.

The Au Pair Affair
Okay, Daddy. She bounced off the bed and pounced on her pony-
decorated overnight bag.
Dan went to get Liam from the living room, where he was happily stacking
blocks and humming to himself. Dan watched his son for a few moments so
quiet, so introverted. Was that normal?
When Liam glanced up and saw him, he grinned from ear to ear and
scrambled to his feet to run over and hold up his arms. Dan scooped him up,
tossed him high, then took him to his room to get changed.
With both kids in tow, he headed to the pool. Louis was backstroking across
the surface, arms cutting cleanly through the water, body glistening in the
sunlight. One eyeful of that tan skin and that compact form and Dan s cock
began to harden. Damn it! His body seemed to react at its most primitive level to
the sight of Louis, whether the man was clothed or half naked. What was it about
the guy? In a club full of hot, hunky men, Dan s attention had immediately been
drawn to Louis. There was no reason for this sudden blaze of attraction. Louis
was attractive enough but not exceptional. But, apparently, Dan s cock thought
he was.
Cara ran to the pool house to get her armbands and toys. Dan got his libido
under control by not gaping at Louis and led Liam to the steps in the shallow
end. They slowly descended into the cool water. Liam was tentative but not
afraid of the water. He d been swimming since before he could crawl. As soon as
he d submerged himself to the neck, the little boy started paddling around. Dan
made sure he didn t cross the line to the deep end.
Cara returned with her arm floats on the only way Dan would allow her
access to the entire pool, even though she could swim like a fish. She wasn t
happy about the flotation devices curbing her acrobatics but conceded the point
in order to be able to jump off the diving board.

Louis splashed over to join him. Your kids are great swimmers. Did they
have lessons?
Yeah. I think maybe Cara s ready to lose the armbands and learn to dive
properly. They watched her leap fearlessly off the board and go deep
underwater before the devices brought her bobbing back to the surface.
I never swam much growing up, Louis said. There was a city pool we
used to go to sometimes, but it was always crowded, and the chlorine stung my
eyes. I didn t like it. Out here though, I ve learned to love it.
You swim well.
Crap. That made it sound as if he d been watching, which he had been.
A moment of silence followed; then Louis said out of the blue, It was kind
of weird running into you the other night. I thought maybe we should, uh, clear
the air about it. Or not.
Dan snuck a glance at Louis, bobbing in the water and tossing a spongy fish
to Liam. Was that a blush darkening his face? So, the nightclub meeting had been [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
