She takes in a deep breath, but she doesn’t immediately say anything.

“I’ll get the show queued up while you finish cutting fruit,” I tell her before walking out of the room.

Chapter 8

Adalynn

“I don’t think you understand,” I tell Madison.

“I understand completely. The man has offered to father your children. It’s not complicated.”

“Child, singular, not children,” I correct. “And it’s the most complicated thing in the world.”

“I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. You get to have sex with the man you’ve always wanted, and you don’t even have to poke holes in the condom to have his baby.”

I glare at her. “I would never do that.”

My words come out on a growl.

“Are you telling me you never had that thought before? You never pictured sleeping with him and accidentally getting pregnant or making sure you got pregnant?”

“Never,” I lie because it happened in a dream once, and I’m not responsible for that. It’s not the same as thinking of it while awake or making a plan for it. “Plus, we aren’t going to have sex. He’ll go to the clinic and—”

“Jack off into a cup? Come on, Ads, what a waste.”

“Don’t say,” I lean in and lower my voice, “jack off into a cup. It’s gross.”

“Yes. It’s gross. That’s why you should throw that man down on the bed and jump on his co—”

“Madison!”

Her laughter fills the bakery, and I’m glad no one else is in here right now. She always comes by for a visit in the middle of the afternoon when there’s a lull. It ensures that we have enough time to gossip without being overheard.

“I say go with what the man offered. You’ll get a few orgasms and a baby.”

“And then what? Go right back to being besties?” I scoff. “Do you really think I’d be able to do that? To see him holding our child and not feel like I’m missing out on something?”

Her face grows serious.

“On second thought, it’s a horrible idea.”

I deflate a little with her words. “Why is that?”

“You could never go back. The man doesn’t want a family. He’s just offering you a solution to your problem.”

I thought as much last night when I tossed and turned until the sun started to peek out from the horizon.

“So go with the donor?”

A wicked smile crosses her face as she shakes her head.

“Give him the best sex of his life and make him want what you want.”

I close my eyes and point my face up to the vaulted ceiling.

“You’ve got to stop it with this idea you have about him secretly being in love with me.”

“It’s only a secret to you and Cash.”
