get away sometime soon.”

“That would be nice, too,” she agreed, although privately, she hoped she could get the girl time first. Time with Logan would be really nice, but it had been months since she had any real quality time with her friends. “Maybe we can do that next month.”

He frowned. “I’m not sure that will work. We only have money for a babysitter for one long weekend away.”

“So?” It was Felicity’s turn to frown, not understanding. “That works perfectly.”

“Well, I thought maybe I could take some time to myself while you go with the girls,” he admitted. “Maybe you and I could go away at the end of this month, and you could schedule something with them in a few months.”

Felicity grit her teeth as resentment bubbled up inside. She’d been assuming he would watch the kids, the same way she had when he was with his friends this past weekend, so they didn’t have to spend money on a sitter. That was why she’d single-parented her way through the weekend, to save money. And he wasn’t willing to do the same for her?

Keep calm. He’s probably not thinking about it that way. And you don’t want to have a fight in front of the kids.

Felicity took a deep breath and pushed her smile back onto her face. “We can talk about it more later.”

“Sounds good. We should look at going somewhere up in the mountains or maybe Deep Creek.”

Yeah, he was going to be in for a rude awakening when he realized when Felicity said they should talk later, she didn’t want to talk about where they were going to go, but about his blithe assumption, she was going to give up her weekend with friends. She needed it, damnit. Resentment swirled in her stomach. He wasn’t even thinking about what she wanted or needed, was he?

Man, it had been a rough few days. Logan hadn’t wanted to dump all over Felicity and the kids at the dinner table, but he was exhausted. Hanging out with the guys all weekend had been a lot of fun, but they’d also stayed up later and drank more than he did these days. They hadn’t gotten much sleep, and his back was still sore from roughing it—another sign of how old he’d gotten.

Things had been stressful at work—a deadline for a project being moved up to today when the client had initially wanted it at the end of the week—which had only made things worse. They’d gotten it done, though, and without overtime. He just wanted to kick back and relax right now.

He loved his kids so much, but every part of his body felt achy, and he didn’t know when he was going to make up for the sleep he’d missed over the weekend, but it probably wasn’t going to be this week. At least he had a trip with Felicity to look forward to.

Even though he’d been the one to suggest the Dad Bod Dom challenge, it was definitely a case of “easier said than done.” He’d been trying this week, doing little things like making sure to kiss Felicity good morning every day, hello every time he came home from work, and goodnight before bed. Last night, they’d watched a movie together and cuddled.

While his dick was interested in sex, he could tell she wasn’t really in the mood. That was okay. He could use the next few weeks to do some prep work, then he’d end by suggesting they make their weekend a kinky one. All he had to do was get her in the right frame of mind.

But first, he needed to get through this week and hopefully get some sleep this weekend.

As they finished up dinner, his kids were still bouncing in their chairs, although they happily got up to help clear the table. Just watching them made him feel even more tired. He wasn’t sure he could handle getting them ready for bed tonight.

“Hey, sweetie,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “Would you mind getting the kids ready for bed tonight?” It was phrased as a question, but he honestly expected her to say yes until he looked up and saw her eyes flash.

“Seriously?”

Annoyance sparked at her tone. He hardly ever asked her to get the kids ready, only when he really needed it, and she knew that.

“Yes, seriously… I need a night off. It was a rough day.”

“You just had three whole nights off this past weekend,” she snapped, taking him off
