*Hello all! A little side note before I begin. The first 4 chapters were all posted the same day, so please forgive the short format. From now on, chapters will be longer and I will make sure there is some sort of conclusion. I will not apologize for the lack of incestual intercourse as of this point since I wanted this to be a slow burn. Not every series will be, but I really wanted this one to be. The realism of Jess' character and her bad friend moment in the first chapter was intentional. I don't want her to be likable. She isn't supposed to be anything other than a long time friend who is (sort of) irresponsible with sex and is dragging her friend into those behaviors. As for her obliviousness to the boys, well, she isn't oblivious. Thank you all for the comments, votes, and views. It means so much to me, especially as a new writer. I hope you all continue to have as much fun with this series as I am.*

It felt weird going back and forth between houses. And I swore if someone else knocked I would not be answering the door. Jess and I sat curled up in a pile of blankets, our own tubs of ice cream in our laps. The sun had set a while ago and, after some small talk, she was ready to get into the nitty gritty.
"Was he as cute in person as he was in his photo?" She leaned forward, eyes bright with curiosity.
"Oh, yes." I nodded, shoveling another spoon of cookie dough ice cream into my mouth. Maybe it was because I was nervous, or maybe it was because I hadn't had ice cream in a while, I just couldn't stop eating.
"So, was he into the whole 'Daddy' and 'Baby' thing?" She shimmied her shoulders at me, a smirk on her face.
"Yes, he definitely was. And he liked the outfit. A lot." Jess pumped a fist into the air.
"I knew it! I knew he would love it. Did you say it? Did you call him 'Daddy?'"
"Well, yeah." I flushed. Jess giggled, taking a bite of her own ice cream.
"How big was he?" She asked around a mouthful.
"I mean, he wasn't small." Jess stuck out a bottom lip.
"So he wasn't huge, either." I nodded.
"Yeah," I decided. "He was just kind of average."
"Are you going to see him again?" It was hard to answer her right away. I liked James. I was absolutely into what he did, I liked how strong he was, and he was so handsome. In our brief time together I learned he was a dad of two. He sort of met my son, even though it was under shaky circumstances. I nibbled my nail in thought. Maybe I would. Luke's offer popped into my head, and the sight of my son between my legs came to the forefront of my mind. I shook my head. Yeah . Maybe seeing James again at a hotel far away from anyone else with my phone turned off would be better. I needed to get Mark and Luke back on track. They shouldn't be attracted to me, and I needed to make sure I never gave into them again.
"Yeah." I decided. "I think I will." Jess gave me a happy smile.
"I'm glad it worked out, then." We sat in mutual happiness, enjoying the warmth and the cozy atmosphere. But in a true Jess fashion, comfy and cozy wasn't enough. "Why don't you call him now?"
"What?" I asked, spoon halfway to my mouth.
"Come on, before you chicken out. Here, give me your phone." Before I could move she snatched it up from the floor and unlocked it. She scrolled lightning fast until she had the app open, his profile up, and sent him a message asking for his number. "There. Oh, he replied right away." She winked at me. "He likes you." I groaned, far from prepared for anything else for the night. Especially after what happened- Nope. Not even going to acknowledge that. As Jess dialed the number, I couldn't help but feel talking to James was better than dwelling on recent events.
"Hello?" I shivered as his voice rumbled through the small speakers.
"H-hi. It's Lou." I squeaked, leaning in close to Jess who was currently holding the phone. She had him on speaker.
"Well, hello there, baby girl. I didn't expect to hear from you so soon." I bit my lip, a blush staining my cheeks at the use of his pet name.
"Sorry for calling so late." Jess rolled her eyes, this conversation to vanilla for her liking.
"I'm a night owl, so don't worry about it. What do you need, sugar?" I looked to Jess, not sure why we even called. She mouthed the word, 'date.'
"Oh! Uhm, I was wondering if we could maybe go to dinner. Or something." I winced at my awkwardness and Jess shook her head slowly. To my surprise, James just chuckled.
"I'd love to. But can you do me a favor, Lou?"
"Yes?" I asked, and Jess' eyes widened expectantly.
"Can you ask me sweetly?" My face burned. I knew what he wanted and from the look on Jess' face, so did she.
"James..." I started, but Jess glared at me intently. I swallowed, then softly asked. "Will you come to dinner with me, daddy?"
"Mmmm." He hummed in appreciation, the sound sending a flash of heat down my spine. "Yes, baby. When do you want to go?" I looked at Jess. She mouthed, 'tomorrow.' I cringed and shook my head, but she raised her brows and refused to relent. I knew if I didn't say it she would.
"Is tomorrow too soon? I know I just saw you today." I paused, then added, "I don't want to bother you if you're busy."
"Baby I'm more than okay with it. I work my own hours since I own the business." I swallowed in surprise, Jess and I sharing a shocked look. Wow.
"I work from home." I added. "I'm a writer."
"You'll have to let me read your work sometime. I'll pick you up tomorrow around 7?"
"That will work for me." Jess giggled softly and I shoved her gently.
"Alright, then. Goodnight, baby girl." Oh boy. I knew what he wanted to hear, but it didn't make it any less embarrassing to do in front of Jess.
"Goodnight, Daddy." Jame's groan rumbled through the phone before he hung up.
"Oh my GOD he is so hot!" Jess shrieked, wrapping her arms around me. "How horny are you right now? Because I may need to borrow that dildo." I laughed, pushing her off me.
"No way, I am definitely using it tonight." We sighed together.
"You know, I've been waiting for the moment I could seduce you to the dark side." Jess smirked at me, resuming her snacking. "Dirty Lou is fun." I shrugged, a goofy grin on my face. It was nice to explore this new side of myself with James. But my brain drifted back to the two boys waiting for me at home. How the hell was I supposed to handle this?
I snuck into the house around 1 a.m. in hopes the boys had at least gone to Mark's room. No such luck. The living room light flickered on just as I locked the door.
"You're home late, young lady." Luke drawled from the armchair. He had moved it so it was now facing the doorway. Mark stood behind him, arms crossed. I turned, groaned, and pressed my forehead to the wood.
"Why am I getting flashbacks to my teenage years?" I muttered.
"You were a rebellious teen? Nice to know." Luke stood making his way towards me. Fuck. I sidestepped him quickly and rushed to the stairs.
"SorryIloveyoubothbutI'mreallytired, goodnight." I blurted as I made my way up the steps. As I shut my bedroom door behind me, I made sure to lock it just in time to hear the knob jostle.
"Lou! You can't hide in there forever. We need to talk about what happened earlier." Luke growled through the door.
"Sorry, hun. I can't hear you."
"That's a lie, ma, and you know it." Mark countered. I set my face in my hands and sighed.
"Mommy's really tired." I tried again, hoping they would drop it.
"When I get my hands on you-" Luke started. I kicked the door.
"Sorry, what?" I called, playing dumb.
"Real mature, mom." I faltered, Mark's comment hitting me deeply. He was right. I was being really immature about this.
"If I open the door, will you promise to just talk?" I asked.
"We won't do anything you don't want us to." Luke answered.
"Promise." Mark finished. I slowly unlocked the door and peered through a small crack. Both boys stood there, arms crossed expectantly.
