Dear Mr. Brody by A.M. Johnson

For Him, Book 3

Parker,

I never meant for any of this to happen, to fall for you. It doesn’t matter that we’re both adults, or how much we want this to work. The college policy is clear. I can’t see a way around this without one of us getting hurt. If I would’ve known who you were when we met online, I would have never pursued a relationship. I’m new to all of this, and besides my daughter, getting to know you has been the best thing to ever happen to me. But I can’t make you hide again. I won’t. It’s not fair to either of us.

Deepest regrets,

Donovan

Dear Mr. Brody,

You’re right, we are adults. I’m twenty-four years old, and I think I can decide for myself what’s best for me. If this is about you losing your job, I’ll walk away. But if this is you trying to protect me, then you’re an idiot. I want you. I care about you. My past isn’t an issue. What we’re doing… it isn’t the same thing. If we have to hide, so be it. I’m not ready to let you go.

Your Lost Boy,

Parker

Anne was on the couch watching Twister for the thousandth time. She wanted to be a storm chaser when she grew up. And the president. And a veterinarian. I had to have done something right as a parent, at least she had goals.

I’d finished putting dinner away and had started on the dishes when my phone vibrated against the countertop.

 

@TheL0stB0y: You ready to swim?

It was only four words, but hell, my pulse picked up its pace, making my stomach feel light.

@MeAndMyShadow33: I think I’ve always been ready.

@TheL0stB0y: Good, because I have a lesson planned.

@MeAndMyShadow33: You planned a lesson?

@TheL0stB0y: Sort of… humor me…

@MeAndMyShadow33: You’ve got my attention.

@TheL0stB0y: First, we should establish a few boundaries.

@MeAndMyShadow33: I agree.

@TheL0stB0y: Good. I’ll go first. Are you looking for sex, or to start a relationship?

@MeAndMyShadow33: Definitely not looking for a one-night stand, but I’m not looking to get serious either. At least not right now.

@TheL0stB0y: Same.

@MeAndMyShadow33: What about personal information?

@TheL0stB0y: Good question. I think staying anonymous will make it easier for us to walk away if shit isn’t working. But I would like to call you something other than “the dating app guy.”

@MeAndMyShadow33: How about we use middle names?

@TheL0stB0y: I’m down with that.

@MeAndMyShadow33: Then, it’s nice to meet you…

@TheL0stB0y: Michael. And you’re…

@MeAndMyShadow33: James.

@TheL0stB0y: Wow… we’re generic.

@MeAndMyShadow33: Or traditional.

@TheL0stB0y: There’s nothing traditional about any of this.

@MeAndMyShadow33: Definitely not.

@TheL0stB0y: Ready for Lesson 1?

@MeAndMyShadow33: You don’t waste any time, do you?

@TheL0stB0y: I find it’s easier to learn to swim if you just jump in.

@MeAndMyShadow33: Baptism by fire?

@TheL0stB0y: Exactly… Lesson 1: Likes and Dislikes.

@MeAndMyShadow33: As in, I like extra cheese on my pizza and hate mushrooms?

@TheL0stB0y: Sure. Or if you’re feeling more open-minded, you could get more personal.

@MeAndMyShadow33: Personal how?

@TheL0stB0y: As in, I like giving head better than receiving.

“Christ.” I choked on a laugh, and quickly glanced up from my phone to check on Anne, like somehow, she might’ve been privy to my conversation, which was asinine. She hadn’t even moved an inch.

Thank God for disaster films.
