Be a good daddy for her. Make her feel sexy and desirable. Wanted. Needed. Make her feel like the beautiful young woman she is.”He sighed and his sh...oulders slumped. He shook his head and stared down at his hands for what seemed like an eternity.“I can’t,” he said.“David, it’s…”“You don’t understand, Kinsey. You’re right. I was looking at her, okay. I admit it. I even lusted after her. But…”“But what?” I said.He sucked in a deep breath and drilled his eyes into me, gathering his courage. “My. I was not stupid. I dropped my friends in a heartbeat!!! “Can you take me someplace other than my apartment? I don’t want to be alone tonight.” I heard her say to the window and the night beyond it. “Sure, my house is just about 15 minutes away. You are more than welcome to spend the night.” I crossed my fingers and held my breath hoping I did not sound too eager. Twenty minutes later I helped Jade up the steps and into the house I had bought just outside of the city. Once inside, she asked. With my schedule being pretty open I go during the day when the pool is quiet and I don’t think I’ve had to share a lane yet.Everyone who is swimming laps is wearing speedos or jammers which is awesome (it wasn’t like that in Colorado last winter – I didn’t see a single speedo my entire trip). A few months back I jumped out of the pool and I saw this gorgeous body wearing a perfectly fitting black speedo. I enjoyed the speedo eye candy and then when the guy turned around I realised that it was. “Uh-huh!” Penny smirked.She knew I’d been with Tasha after Tasha started working for NIKA. Fortunately, she didn’t know about Jeri or Kimmy. I’d have had no end of grief over THAT, and it would have made fending off Penny’s advances even more difficult before she’d married Terry.As planned, I joined Elyse and Kimmy in the conference room. All of the board members were on the call, as was Jamie. He explained the terms of the settlement offer. There was some discussion, and the board was pretty.
