“Okay, now that your mother is gone, let’s set up the gaming console I brought while we talk about what happened between your mom and me.” Heath didn’t know what else to do. He didn’t know what his son would say to him, but Heath knew Geoff wasn’t happy with what his mother said. “Okay, but how hard is it to change my mom’s mind?” “It’s hard. Your mom’s decided she’s going to be stubborn, so I must come up with a different way to get her to change her mind. Don’t worry, I won’t quit trying to change her mind.” Heath didn’t know if he was talking too far over his son’s head. But he didn’t want to lie to him, but he didn’t want to say the wrong thing to him. That could cause him to be confused or misunderstand the situation. Then Geoff might say or do something inappropriate. “Why can’t you tell her she’s going to marry you? Like she tells me I’m going to eat brussels sprouts?” Heath had to laugh at that question. If it were only that simp

Heath entered the small kitchen. He’d talk with Ivy now about everything they’d left unsaid. He knew they needed a larger place, and better security. Heath heard the police stop a fight on the street below between two neighbours. This time it’d was a domestic dispute. He feared the next occurrence would be more sinister and closer to home. “Okay, he’s asleep. Now we can talk.”Geoff insisted on being put to bed by Heath tonight, and Ivy appeared unsure about her emotions regarding this change. She could make better use of her extra time. Even if she appears to do nothing, she never squanders her time. Ivy still felt hurt by Geoff’s choice. She’d acted as mother and father to Geoff for so long. She must be questioning if Geoff wanted her anymore. “So, talk Heath.” Ivy pretended to have nothing to say about what was happening. Heath knew better. It meant one thing; Ivy held her words and Heath had to dig for them. He remembered Ivy did this when she felt he ignored h

Ivy wasn’t sure what to think with his words and actions, not matching anything she expected from Heath. The man screwed to her without taking her underwear off, told her he welcomed getting her pregnant, and proposed marriage to avoid any hint of scandal. All just a few hours after finding out he’d divorced another woman. “No. I can’t see it happening. You need to put some breaks on Heath. Your divorce is new, and I think your freedom has gone to your head. Everything you’ve done appears out of place. Anyone looking at this would see your attempts are almost desperate. Also, you’re attempting to recapture a relationship with ‘the one that got away.’ It always dooms those second relations to fail because you’re not in love with a real person, but the idea of the person. Everyone knows that.” “I can’t accept no Ivy and you know that. You are the one I’ve always wanted. Can’t you see past the one incident in our past? An incident instigated b

Ivy could feel the care he took with her. This wasn’t the man who’d totally dominated her life before. It wasn’t fair. She could feel her emotions and resolve caving. Ivy couldn’t think everything through when he was touching her and playing her pleasure points like an instrument. Her body thrilled at the feel of his pleasuring her. She arched back, angling her entrance for him and her toes curled as he worked her body. Sparks of excitement travelled her body from her head to her toes. It’d been so long since she’d been with a man. With Heath, he remembered what made her lose her mind. He didn’t stop there. He exploited that knowledge, and Ivy couldn’t remember why she was holding out before this. “This isn’t fair, Heath. I’m risking everything for this. You’re risking nothing. Ah.” He’d caressed her clit with his finger, swirling it and then pinching it. All the while slowly pressing into her core, filling her unbelievably full again. Her body shoo

Ivy resisted until she couldn’t fight it anymore. Now she broke down and admitted her weakness. She acted like her fears were soul destroying. Heath wanted to laugh and tell her how foolish she was acting. But he’d already seen how she acted when he discounted her beliefs tonight. He knew the problem resulted from her exhaustion from the highly emotional day they had. He needed her to relax. That was half the fun behind why he’d taken her to bed. She needed an outlet to blow off some steam so they could have a sane conversation. He’d not expected it to be so difficult to get her alone. Heath was the first to say he didn’t resent his son. Now he understood why. Someone once told him his sex-life would take a hit after kids. To think he’d planted the idea of having more of them tonight in Ivy’s mind. Hell, he might have done more than that tonight. Heath knew it was a dick move. He desperately wanted to have his dream life back. The reality of having a family with Ivy was to
