Master ♡-- Jake Seresin 'Hangman' x Dark Romance

Can I?

--- Stella's Point of View ---

"Why don't you go into town and see if you can find a highchair while she is at daycare, we also need some food. He held up a small list, you loved going to the open market, they always had fresh food.

"We should save this..." I slowly explained as I touched the highchair earning a little happy laugh from our daughter as she grabbed at my hand, I looked up and saw Rooster giving me a confused look, his head tilted slightly.

A smile crept across my face as I put my hand on my stomach and gave him a understanding smile.

"For him." I explained putting a hand on my lower stomach giggling slightly, my laugh made our daughter laugh as well, her laugh was almost identical to Roosters, I was seeing more of him in her every day – I loved seeing it.

The realization was adorable that crossed his face, and he looked away for a moment, his expression stuck somewhere between embarrassment and a deep chagrin.

"Yeah, we should keep it, actually we should be more prepared for him..." He reached over and picked our daughter up and went to clean her up and I quickly cleaned her mess, after a moment he turned to face me, I reached out.

"I want to take her in today." He pouted; he was a very loving father, and often wanted to take the supposed 'wife' duties.

It hit me really hard that he was an amazing man, and any woman with half a fucking brain would realize that he was the prize, the one that I should feel lucky beyond anything to have – and I did feel that way, I loved Rooster, but my mind and soul were betraying me in the worst way, because my love for Hangman was all consuming.

Rooster gave me a smile as he shifted her, I walked over and grabbed his bag and handed it to him, while holding our daughter he took it.

"Bye..." Aurora said, leaning forward she kissed my cheek, and I did hers, then I put my hand on the back of Roosters head and pulled him into a deep kiss, when I pulled back, he smiled at me and our daughter giggled.

"I'll see you later tonight."

I walked them to the door and saw them off, this moment felt very lovingly and perfectly domestic.

When he drove off I walked back into the house, opening a few windows to air out the house and started cleaning up breakfast, I was going to pre make a dinner that I could just put in the oven.

The hard and steady knock on the door came when I was mid mixing the casserole, I walked over to the door and opened it, shocked to see Hangman standing there.

The moment between us was awkward and seemed to be dragged out longer than it should have, I wasn't expecting him, not that he was unwanted, I wanted him close to me, but I thought he was working today...wasn't he.

"Can I come in?"

Feeling like I was going to be making a very costly decision, I stepped aside and motioned for him to enter the house, without hesitation he walked in and I shut the door behind him.

The moment I turned he pressed me up against the back of the door, and his lips all but crashed down on mine.
