Melanie placed a spoonful of rice in her mouth and smacked her lips together. “This tastes so good,” she said, drawing out the last words, casting a glance at Liam, who didn’t seem to share the same thought.
“You think so?” He asked, and Melanie nodded, throwing another spoon into her mouth and eating hastily.
I lowered my head, staring at my plate, which was pretty much untouched, just like Liam’s. Our eyes met, and
I smiled. “It seems mommy doesn’t share your thoughts,” Liam said, and Melanie shrugged.
“Dad does, see, his plate is almost empty.” Her voice rose over the mummering. Mason hummed as he chewed.
A man in a blue shirt walked past us, accompanied by a trail of three children who seemed to be the same age as Melanie and Liam. My eyes followed them until they took a seat under the umbrella shade at the end.
“Where are we going next?” Liam’s spoon clinked softly on the plate.
“You mean what are we tasting?” Melanie asked, raising her head from her plate. My skin burned from the sun, and I looked into my purse on the table. It was time to reapply sunscreen.
“We’d go anywhere you two want and taste everything you want,” Mason said before wiping his lips. He noticed Liam’s full plate, “I see you don’t like it,” he stated.
Liam twisted his lips to the side, then held his stomach, “but I’m hungry.”
“Then, let’s hurry to the next place.”
Liam shook his head, “I don’t have enough strength, Dad,” he placed both hands on his cheek, and stared at Mason with puppy eyes, “can I get ice cream for fuel?” he asked in a coy voice.
“No ice–cream, Liam, you don’t need fuel,” this small sly.
“Please, Daddy, please.” He ignored me.
“My stomach needs fuel too.” He pouted, and I squinted.
Mason looked at me and gave me a pleading look. I shook my head. Last night, we got everything they asked for. Not today.
“Daddy, you promised to get us all we want, you can’t go back on your words now, right, Melanie,” Melanie, who was too engrossed in her plate, nodded
“I’m sorry,” Mason mouths, then he clears his throat, “of course I won’t go back on my word.” It was his fault for promising them.
“Just one cone, no more till tomorrow.”

“Till we go back. I’ve always stopped them from having junk since it was unhealthy, although we had our cheat days. But not Mason, this man indulges them and spoils them too much.
Mason stood. “I’ll be back in a sec,” he said before walking in the direction of the counter where ice cream was sold. He stood behind a man.
Lalternated my gaze between the twins and Mason, who was standing a few feet away. A lady had now stood behind him. “Mom, do you know how to make this? I’d like to have this back at home,” Melanie said before grabbing her glass of water and placing it to her lips.
“Did you really like it that much. Melanie?“ A puzzled Liam questioned.
“Yes, I’d like to have it again, and again, and again,” she muttered, then chuckled when she saw the reaction she got from Liam. She nudged him by the side. “Relax, Liam, Mom won’t force you to have it, right, Mom?”
“Only if he insists on ice cream. I threatened to hold back a smile that threatened to break free from my face.
I shifted my gaze to Mason, and immediately, my eyes fell on him; I drew my brows together.
“Mom, you didn’t answer me, can you make this?” Melanie asked again, and I nodded absent–mindedly, still keeping my eyes locked on the cafe ahead.
The lady was now in front of Mason, trying desperately to get his attention, her lips moved so it’s obvious that she was trying to make small talk.
Mason rubbed the top of his nose and said something which made the blonde–haired woman laugh. I was standing before I knew it. “Melanie, do you want ice cream too?” I asked, startling her
Her eyes darted around. “Yes,” she answered tentatively. “Then I’ll get you one.” I was already walking towards them before the words left my lips fully.
Immediately, I got close to the cafe, I called out Mason’s name, and he turned, a look of surprise etched in his brows. I saw the question in his eyes and was grateful he didn’t ask.
The girl was standing too close, so I walked to Mason’s side and wrapped my hand around his, shoving the girl to the side with my body. Her eyes darkened when I turned to her.
“Oh. I didn’t see you there,” I said without the tiniest hint of emotion in my voice. I turned my attention to Mason, whose lips curled up faintly, “Melanie wants ice–cream too, as good parents, we should give them what they want.” I said loud enough for the blond girl who had fallen back in line to hear.
I looked over Mason’s shoulder to see her staring at him with desire. When our eyes met, she narrowed her eyes, and I smiled, pushing myself closer to Mason. This man is mine, how dare she think of eyeing him?
“We should get some for ourselves,” he said, and I agreed.
When the man in front of Mason left, we took one step forward, and Mason told the girl across the counter our order. I ignored the girl whose eyes threatened to pull a hole across Mason’s head.
They didn’t have cones, so we ended up buying two big cups of ice cream.

As we walked back, Mason held the plastic bag, holding the ice cream in one hand and my hand in the other. “Were you jealous?” He suddenly asked.
My neck heated up. “Of course not, why would I be jealous?” I asked back. I didn’t need to look at him to know that he had a mischievous smile on his face. “Why did you even engage her in a conversation?” I asked, feeling the bashfulness turn into disappointment.
“She simply asked a question.” We got close to the twins with each step, “Was I not even to answer her questions?” He asked, and I scoffed. I know women, and a woman’s instinct was never wrong to Mason, she was probably an innocent girl asking questions, but I know that look.
“Men can be so slow at times.” I shook my head as I spoke. We got to the table and I pulled out my chair before taking a seat.

The twins ran on the beach, throwing water on themselves. “You want to join them?” I asked Mason. We were seated on the ground. I leaned on him as we watched them.
“No, I have something else in mind.” He answered.
“What else? You want us to go somewhere else?” Liam jumped into the water, and Melanie did the same. They stayed in the shallow areas, and we kept a watchful eye on them to make sure they were safe.
The wave danced forward before flowing backwards, and the water felt icy cold against my skin. “Do you really want to know what I want?” Mason asked in a hoarse voice, and I nodded. Of course.
“I want to take you back to our room and fuck you so hard till you can’t even leave the room,” I felt the hair in my hand stand and curled my toes as his breath fell on my ear, tingling my skin.
“But I can’t,” the disappointment in his voice came sharp, cutting off whatever excitement had begun to bubble within me. “We should go somewhere alone next time. Me and you.”
“And the twins?” I asked, stealing a glance at his lower body to see a bulge in his pants. My cheeks heated up, but a part of me felt warm. I was pleased that the thought of me was enough to make him hard.
“We’ll leave them with your Mom or Zoe.”
“Mom! Dad!” Melanie and Liam shouted, waving their hands at us. They didn’t wait for us to wave back before running to the sea.
Mason wrapped a hand around me, one hand coupled my breast while the other was what his hand was doing. “What do you say, Lydia?” It was a question, not when his finger grazed my titt and I inhaled sharply.
My eyes flickered to the twins; they were still there. I press my back into him, “If you want to come, then I will.” I turned to look at him, and he released me a bit. The look in his eyes was hot, and something dark slithered through.
He released a groan and bit down on my shoulders, “You don’t know how hard it is to control myself around you.” I could tell I was wet already.

It’s mutual. I barely have control around you, too. I wanted to say, but didn’t.

He lifted his head, and his fingers found my jaw. Slowly, he lifted it. His eyes fell on my lips, and I knew what was next: a kiss. I trailed my tongue over my lips, waiting for him to capture it with his.
But it didn’t happen, because at that moment, a loud scream cut through our moment. A disappointed groan rustled my throat. It took a while for me to recognize the voice, and once I did, I turned.
Liam was running towards us, “Melanie, Melanie won’t come out from the water.”
