The Proposition (The Proposition #1)(53)

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed against him. “What can I say? I have a thing for the men of the Fitzgerald family.”

The corners of Aidan’s lips turned up in a slight smirk at her statement. “Is that right?”

“That and Megan’s overwhelmed with exams right now, so I offered to keep him to let her get some uninterrupted work done. Plus it’s good practice for me.”

“Wait, so he’s spending the night?”

“Yep.” She leaned up to teasingly nip his lips with her tongue. “But he’s sleeping in the Pack N Play, and you get to be in the bed. With me.”

“Hmm, I like that scenario.” He kissed her hungrily while guiding her back towards the couch.

“Whoa, wait a minute. I didn’t mean for us to get started now,” she murmured against his lips.

“When is there a better time?”

Emma let him push her down onto the cushions. “We really should wait until Mason goes down for the night. He’s going to need a bottle and a bath.”

“He’s fine.” He eased himself on top of her, still careful not to bear too much weight on her. While one hand delved under her tank top, the other went for the waistband of her pajama bottoms and then stopped. “Damn, are these Scooby Doo?”

She giggled. “I wasn’t expecting company, and I have a slight obsession from growing up with the old cartoon.”

“They almost killed my hard-on.”

She slid her hand between them and then quirked her eyebrows. “Seems fine to me.”

“Hmm, keep doing that, and I think it’ll be more than fine.”

She kept rubbing him through his pants while he licked a hot trail down her neck to her breastbone. As he lowered the straps on her tank top to bare her br**sts, a shriek came from the other side of the room. For a minute it didn’t register with her, but then Mason started wailing loudly. She immediately broke their kiss and jerked her hand off his cock. “Stop…baby,” she panted.

“No, it feels so good,” he murmured against her collarbone.

Emma rolled her eyes and smacked his chest. “Aidan, are you deaf? Mason’s crying.”

“Oh shit.” With an agonized groan, Aidan pulled away from her. She slid out from under him and hurried over to the Pack N Play. Mason held his arms out to her as giant tears slid down his cheeks. “Aw, shh, it’s okay, sweet boy,” she said, scooping him up. His cries quieted a little when he was in her arms. “What’s the matter angel? Are you hungry?”

Emma kissed Mason’s cheek and rubbed wide circles over his back while he grinned at Aidan over her shoulder.

“What a little cock-blocker,” Aidan grumbled.

Emma gasped and whirled around. “What did you just call him?”

“A cock-blocker, which is exactly what he is at the moment.”

Mason screeched a cry, and Emma hugged him tighter. “Don’t listen to Uncle Aidan, sweetheart. He didn’t mean it.”

Aidan motioned to Mason. “Look at him. He’s perfectly fine as long as you’re holding him.”

She shook her head. “You’re a complete and total ass**le.”

“You shouldn’t cuss in front of the baby,” he chided with a grin.

Emma widened her eyes. With a huff, she walked over to Aidan. “It’s almost time for him to eat. Hold him while I go fix his bottle.”

Surprisingly Aidan didn’t protest when Emma thrust Mason into his arms. Mason immediately stopped snubbing and stared wide-eyed at Aidan. “Yeah, that’s right. You’re stuck with me now, and I don’t have a nice rack for you to snuggle up to.”

Emma smacked his arm. “Don’t you dare talk to him like that! He’s only a baby! Breasts are just food to him, pervert!”

“Damn, Em, when did you get so violent?” he joked.

Mason gave Aidan a toothless grin when Emma stomped off. Aidan chuckled. “I guess she’s right, huh? But one day you’ll understand what it’s like to be left at half-mast by some chick.”

“I heard that!” she called to him as she slammed the refrigerator door. After heating the formula, she returned to the living room just as Mason started to get fussy again. Aidan started to hand him back to her, but she shook her head. “Can you give it to him while I go run his bath?”

He gave her a playful smirk. “And if I refused, does that mean I wouldn’t have any chance of getting back in your Scooby Doo pajamas tonight?”

“I would say the odds would be slim to none.”

Aidan took the bottle from her. “Guess it wouldn’t hurt for me to feed him. It’s been awhile since one of my sister’s forced me to do this, so I’m a little rusty. But you’re on your own for the diaper changing.”

Emma swept her hands to her hips. “So let me get this straight. You’re basically only feeding Mason not to help me out, but to ensure you’ll get laid tonight?”

“I consider it a win-win situation for both of us.” He gazed down at Mason who was sucking his bottle down. “And for him, too.”

“Just when I think you’ve moved past being a sex-crazed ass**le, you act like this.”

Aidan cocked his eyebrows. “All my married friends have warned me about how bad your sex life takes a dive after you have kids. I guess you’re giving me an early warning, huh?”
