Vivacious Rose

3 - Cade

Watching Autumn move that ravishing body of hers while dancing seductively with her friends in a short, skintight, backless dress had me wondering what the fuck Holden was thinking to cheat on his girl of four years, who not too long ago said he was going to marry.

I also wondered if he was that much of a fucking moron to give up a gorgeous woman like Autumn for Jaiden.

Watching that gorgeous human having fun with her friends also made my dick hard.

Hell, who am I kidding? She's always had my dick coming alive whenever she and Holden were at my house, especially whenever she walked around the pool in that hot-as-sin white and pink bikini.

It's one of the reasons I tried distancing myself from her whenever they were over. I didn't want either of them to see what she did to my cock, or how my eyes were always on her.

I'll keep saying this, but Holden's a fucking idiot. He just lost the best thing that ever happened to him.

It didn't take Autumn long to find me after I'd given her another margarita. I wasn't going to give her another drink, but it had been a while since she'd finished the first one, and because my son hurt her and ruined a good thing, I felt she deserved at least one more.

However, if she had come to me and said she changed her mind, I would've bought Autumn and her friends drinks for the rest of their night—just because she deserved it. But she came to me wanting to leave, begging that I help her forget Holden's cheating ways.

So we left.

Since she didn't want us to do this in her and Holden's townhouse, I'm bringing her to my place. I'd rather we do it here than there, anyway.

"This could blow up in our faces," she muttered, facing the passenger window.

Her leg tensed when I rested my hand on her thigh. "Why do you think that? He's the one who cheated, not you."

"You're his father. He works for you. He'll never want to talk to you again."

She has a point there. But one thing I always instilled in Holden's mind was never to hurt the woman he's with by abusing them physically and mentally or by cheating. He knew better. So if this is what I have to do, to make him see cheating isn't worth it, I hope he'll learn from it and never want to do it again.

I squeezed her thigh. "I'm not worried. He may get angry, tell me he's quitting, and not talk to me for a while. And that's okay. Once he cools off, he'll see what he'd done wrong. He'll realize what he lost—and who he lost." I squeezed her thigh again. "This is the lesson he needs to learn so he'll never do this to anyone again."

Finally, she looked at me. "Did you ever suspect they were fooling around—sexually?"

I returned my eyes to the road. "No. Never." I hadn't, and I've been trying to think back to all the times I had seen them together, and nothing I remember showed any red flags that they were fooling around.

Her body relaxed, and her hand rested over mine. "And you'd tell me the truth if he was?"

"Absolutely," I said, snapping my head her way. "Hell. I would've smacked him upside the head if I had seen him flirting with her."

My dick stirred in my pants when she flashed me her usual warm smile. I have a strange feeling; this gorgeous woman will end up being the death of me tonight.

I just know it.

Autumn was quiet the rest of the way to my place, and I let her be. I knew she was thinking, contemplating, envisioning, worrying, and really nervous about what we were about to do.
