Page 73 of Fierce-Michael

Her ass was hanging out, her tiny underwear almost up her crack like a thong.

“It’s nothing more than if I was in a bathing suit,” Electra said, strutting out of the room. “You’re obviously looking at my ass to know that.”

He rolled his eyes and moved into the kitchen, opened the fridge to see if there was food in there or if he had to pick up more before Tuesday when Ty came back.

There was milk and the date was fine. Electra didn’t drink milk so he knew it was for Ty and what he’d brought. Though there wasn’t a ton of food, it wasn’t empty and plenty for Ty.

The freezer still had a bunch of Ty’s breakfast foods and some of his microwave things that would be quick for dinner.

Good enough for now.

He turned when Electra walked back out yawning, her hair in a ponytail, tiny shorts pulled on, but at least covering her better than she’d been.

“Your parents are late,” he said. It was almost a quarter after at this point.

“They will be here soon,” Electra said. “They don’t clock watch like you. So tell me about this woman you’re fucking.”

There was no reason to lie about anything. “I’m not you,” he said. “I’ve got a girlfriend. If you want to know if I’m going to have her meet Ty, then the answer is yes. But ask that and don’t try to make what I’ve got in my life cheap and dirty.”

“Meaning that is what I’ve got in my life?” Electra asked, lifting her chin.

“I didn’t say that. I said don’t make what I’ve got into that. We don’t need to know those things about each other.”

“I thought we did,” Electra said. “You told me not to bring men around Ty. I could say the same about you bringing women around Ty.”

“Actually you can’t,” he said, narrowing his eyes. “You know why?”

“No,” Electra said frowning. “Why?”

He shook his head. “Our legal documents say all of that. You signed it all away. I explained everything to you before you signed it and you didn’t care one way or another. You just didn’t want to have full responsibility for Ty. Remember that now?”

He’d been disgusted over it and his parents said he should be thankful. Maybe he was deep down, but it still hurt that his son’s mother couldn’t be bothered to want to fight for anything.

“I guess,” Electra said. “It was so long ago. I just figured you’d remind me like you are now.”

Just like everything else. “I don’t have to tell you when I’m dating someone, but I am. I’m going to let Ty meet her soon.” No reason to say it was today. He was positive Ty would share that.

“Do I get to meet her?” Electra asked.

“There is no reason for it,” he said. Electra would only cause trouble.

“Whatever you say,” Electra said, moving back to get her coffee that she’d left while it was brewing.

He was going to say yes, that it was whatever he said, but the door opened and his son came running in.

“Dad!”

“Hey there, bud. Did you have fun at your grandparents?”

“I did,” Ty said. “They took me to the movies last night.”

“That was nice of them,” he said. He looked at Electra’s parents. Neither had a smile on their face as they looked at their daughter.

“Did you just wake up, Electra?” her mother asked, disapproving.

“I overslept,” Electra said. “Michael banging on the door got me out of bed. But I’m dressed.”

“Barely,” her father said. “Ty, give us a kiss and have fun this week. Glad we got to see you.”
