have to be nudged in the right direction. For instance, I knew if I played my cards right Iâd get a couple hundred prewedding bucks out of her.
Â
Â
âHeâs never, like, done anything to you, has he?â Tremaynne asked, slowly untying the laces on my bustier.
âAre you kidding?â I sucked in my breath as he tugged it free, his hand brushing against my breasts. âHeâs always been like a stepfather to me.â
âYeah, but stepfathers abuse their kids all the time,â Tremaynne said, kissing the rose tattoo above my heart.
âNot Whitman,â I said. âNever.â
âWhen I came in the bedroom and saw him zipping up his pants,â Tremaynne whispered, sucking my earlobe into his mouth, âI thoughtâYou know.â His tongue moved up to probe my ear. âYou didnât look upset or anything. But I wondered.â
I threw my head back so he could give my throat a good swab with his overactive tongue. âYeah,â I sighed, lightheaded with delight, âIâve wondered myself.â
âYou have?â He pulled me closer, breathing hard, kneading my butt like it was bread dough. âWhat?â
âWhat it would be like.â
âWhat dâyou think?â
âI donât know. He seems to make my dad happy.â I sucked my loverâs tongue deep into my mouth, then moved down to pluck at his little raisiny nipples with my teeth. âI know they have sex almost every day.â
âSo do we,â Tremaynne panted.
âYeah, but theyâve been together twenty years.â I did some quick math, the one thing Iâm good at. âThatâs like over seven thousand times.â
âWow.â Tremaynne reared back, looking at me. Those dark eyes with the long black lashes had the power to melt me. âWhat do they do?â
âI donât know. Thatâs always been another fantasy.â
âWhat?â
âWatching two handsome guys make it.â
âWatching your dads, or, like, watching two handsome guys?â
âMy dads are two handsome guys.â
âSo, watching them.â
âItâs just a fantasy.â
I could feel Tremaynneâs hard stubby dick against my thigh. He eased me onto my back, cupped my breasts, and stared at my nipples as if they were two luscious desserts. His tongue flicked out, delicately licking first one, then the other, like a boy with an ice-cream cone in each hand.
âOh, Venus,â he sighed, tenderly laying his head against my heart.
âWhat, babe?â I played with his hair.
âAm I doing the right thing?â
I assumed he meant getting married. âYes,â I whispered.
âIâm afraid Iâll hurt you.â
âYou wonât hurt me,â I said.
âYou donât know who I am. Not really.â
âDo you know who I am? Really?â
He was silent for a moment. âYeah,â he said finally. âI think I do.â
Chapter
4
I kept giving Tremaynne chances to get out of going on our honeymoon with the dads, but he was like, âNo, I really want to go.â
âWeâll be in the car with them for hours,â I warned.
âSo?â
âYouâll have to talk.â
âI can talk when I want to.â
âYouâre not homophobic, are you? Youâd better tell me now if thatâs a problem.â
âThere is something I should probably tell you.â He cleared his throat and smoothed down his already smooth goatee. His eyes, usually so bold, grew shy. âIâve had a couple of things with guys. Nothing serious. Just like youâve had with women.â
His confession confirmed something Iâd been wondering about.
Suddenly it was kind of a dilemma. Because I didnât want to make the mistake of marrying a gay man, like my mom did. Gay men make great dads, but, as Whitman once said, you wouldnât want your daughter to
