Thinking of Having a Pet

I slept with Nicole that night. Call me a coward, but I wasn't ready to be alone with Duncan. We had slept together, yes, that was true. No, we didn't have sex. He did things to my body that I have never felt. 

If I were honest, I would be lying naked on his bed. Doing sexy moves on him, and him on me. It was something that both of us wanted. The physical contact would literally bind us, just like the olden times. 

But, I slept with my daughter because she was afraid. So was I.

Nicole began to whimper in her sleep, I pulled her close and hummed a lullaby. Her whimpering stopped and she began to breathe easily. I kissed her forehead, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and tried my best not to remember what happened to the kids the last time they were here.
