Falling For His Escort [Book #3]

Chapter 23

Mason's POV
I knew Charlotte and Harlynn would get along, but I didn't think it would happen so quickly.

Watching the two of them converse felt like a threesome I'd been kicked out of. Neither one of them paid any attention to me as Charlotte filled Harlynn on everything that happened with Silas.

Thankfully, I still had Ava to keep me company. She giggled, watching me stuff two baby carrots into my mouth to mimic bucked teeth. I made all kinds of silly faces, Ava's laughter filling up the room.

"Can I try?" She asked, picking up two of her own baby carrots from her plate.

She looked so cute making silly faces with the baby carrots as she laughed at herself.

"Look, mommy."

Charlotte stops mid sentence to take a glimpse at her daughter. She smiles. But it doesn't last long, her gaze firm and her tone motherly. "Don't play with your food, babe."

Ava pulls the carrots out from her mouth, a sad expression marking her features as the orange vegetables are placed back on her plate. "But uncle Masey did it."

Charlotte shoots me a look. "Uncle Masey knows better."

Shrugging my shoulders, I extract both carrots and pop one of them in my mouth. She doesn't say anything else as she continues her conversation with Harlynn.

"Your mommy's a hater," I whisper, causing the young child to snicker.

After dinner is finished, I leave Ava to play with Lady while I do the dishes. Harlynn and Charlotte are, of course, still talking. As a matter of fact, the two of them can't seem to shut up.

And it's aggravating me, because I'm in the mood for a cuddle session. If Charlotte wasn't currently hogging my dove, she'd be in my arms right about now. Or rather, I'd be in hers.

Rinsing and drying off the last of the dishes, I quickly put them away and joined the two of them on the couch.

Seated behind Harlynn, I slipped my hand under her arm to reach her thigh. Caressing it with slow circles, she grows tense against me.

I'm hoping she'll get the hint, but she continues talking as if my touch isn't currently effecting her breathing.

So I lean in to kiss her neck. My lips are right on her sweet spot, her skin warm despite the cold chill that noticeably shimmies down her spine.

She finally ends her conversation and turns her attention to me. "You want to cuddle, don't you?"

"Mhm," I hum in response, my chin resting on her shoulder as she gazes down me.

She then looks back at Charlotte, who's watching the two of us with the biggest smile on her face. She apologizes, to in which Charlotte gives her a nonchalant wave.

"It's okay. We can talk some other time." Charlotte stands to her feet, motioning Ava over. "Besides, it's time I get this little one to bed."

"It was nice meeting you, Lottie."

"You too, Harlynn."

****

"Are you happy now?" Harlynn asks, playing with my hair while I lay my head on her lap.

"Very," I murmured, my face inches from her panty clothed sex. Her thighs are soft and she's smells so damn amazing.

My dick begins to ache and I'm suddenly starving. And not for food.

Impulsively, I open my mouth and bite down gently into the mound of flesh, Harlynn yelping out of surprise.

"Mason! What the he-"
