If Only They Knew (Book 1.5) (AU Series) - INTERSEX

Chapter Twenty

Elliot

The sun shines through the window waking me, and I notice the puddle of drool under my cheek. I raise and wipe away the saliva. As I look up, I see one of the women I love with everything in me, under me.

"Jo, Jo," I whisper, tapping her chest. She groans, and I kiss her bare skin repeatedly. "Jojooo," I whine.

"What Elli," she asks with her eyes still closed.

"I hungry, and I needs baffs... and I misses daddy." I lay my head back down, getting sad. Al has been working with the agency a lot lately, something really important, and it's been taking away all of our time with her. I feel Josies hand rub down my back, and I look up at her. She's just as blue without Alex.

"I know, love. I miss her too." She pulls me against her chest, and I nuzzle my nose in her neck. She holds me tightly against her and kisses my head. "Okay first shower, then food. You have to take Valia to the university today."

We are mapping out her degree check sheet. She still hasn't told me what she wants to pursue, because she said she needs to do research on the best career for her intellectual mind. I thought it was funny at first, but she's right. She has a brilliant mind. I thought it was crazy that Alexandria and Josephine knew so many languages, but Valiana knows 56. She continues to test her limits. She has never failed a single exam in any subject and she has an IQ of 186. Just a few points lower than the highest in the world.

We genetically engineered a genius. Not an indestructible one, though. I know she feels she walks on eggshells around us because of her heart condition, but it's because we love her and want her to live a long healthy life. She also walks on eggshells because, like Josephine, she has to attend therapy for her temper. Valiana has the rage of Alexandria and Josephine mixed together. I swear, the only thing she got from me is her skin complexion.

"Okay up, Elli," Josie says, sitting up with me on her lap. She grabs my hand and leads me to the bathroom to shower. Last night was amazing, as is any other night with her, but I'm sore as hell so there are no more touchies from her. She tries, and I smack her hand away.

"I says no, Josie. My bits are sore," I shove her gently away. She laughs at me and continues to wash me.

"Fine stinky butt. Come here so I can wash your pits." I lift my arms, and she tickles them. I huff and snatch the loofah away to wash myself.

"I got it," she snickers and rinses off. Leaving me there. I finish cleaning myself and wash my hair, enjoying a moment to myself. I love being in the presence of both my lovers but sometimes, I need me time to recuperate.

I get dressed and walk downstairs to the kitchen. The house is quiet because it's only Josie and I. Rayden has been staying with Olivia because she's alone at her house. When Roger leaves, Tracey goes with him, leaving their youngest Olly with their oldest Oliver. I offered for Liv to stay with us until her parents got back, but she said no. I know they want their alone time. I just pray they are using protection and being safe. Vale... I don't know where she goes. But just like Ray, they are almost adults, and we can't stop them.

Josie places a breakfast bowl in front of me with eggs, cheese, bacon, hash browns, and little chopped tomatoes. I lick my lips at how delicious it looks.

After we eat, she kisses me goodbye and heads to one of her restaurants while I leave to pick Vale up. She drove to school, but I'm impatient and am going to check her out before school is over so we can get done at the university sooner. I just want to be back in bed with Josie. Getting cuddles and kisses are my favorite things. Not managing a university.

A few years ago, when Adelaide was in high school, they promoted me to dean. There are three deans at the university; faculty deans, student deans, and department deans. I am the student dean, so I assist students in the process of adjusting to university life, supervise residence hall construction, student activities, and fraternities.
