“Sure, that’d be great.” He shifted his weight, obviously struggling to hold my gaze. “If you’re, you know, if it’s not too much trouble for you.”
“Not at all. What are you doing tomorrow night?”
He hesitated, then shook his head. “Nothing that I know of.”
“And you are twenty-one, right?”
“With a few months to spare, yes.”
“Why don’t you meet me at Wilde’s, then?”
“Wilde’s? That’s that gay club on Broadway, isn’t it?”
“Most of the clubs on Broadway are gay clubs,” I said. “Wilde’s just happens to be the best in my not so humble and
very
biased opinion as an employee. Have you been to any clubs?”
“Beside this?” He gestured at our surroundings.
“This is a sports bar. Big difference, trust me.”
He laughed quietly. “I’ll take your word for it. I have been to a strip club before, though.”
“Have you, now?”
He nodded.
“Enjoy it?”
“I think I might’ve enjoyed it more had there been some guys on the stage.” His smile was characteristically shy, but there was just enough of a devilish sparkle in his eyes to bring a grin to my lips.
Oh, yes, you
do
have a wild side, don’t you?
Who’s Your Daddy?
Lauren Gallagher
Everyone’s bringing baggage to this baby shower.
After her divorce, Carmen James is still trying to get back on her feet when fate pulls the rug out from under her. She’s pregnant—and she’s not sure who’s the father. Just one more thing for her impossible-to-please family to worry about. On the bright side, there are only two candidates: her best friend, Donovan, and Isaac. His boyfriend.
A little too much wine and the desire to comfort lead Donovan and Isaac to a night they both hope Carmen doesn’t regret. When she drops the bomb, though, Donovan’s plate, already crowded with a teenage son and a disapproving father, gets fuller. And Isaac, who’s still coming to terms with his bisexuality, wonders how he’ll handle fatherhood at forty.
Above all, both men worry that whatever the answer to the ultimate question—which of them got her pregnant—it will forever alter their longstanding friendship with Carmen. While they’re waiting for that answer, though, continuing their casual sexual relationship with her feels natural. But when emotions get involved, the cracks in their logic begin to drive Isaac, Don and Carmen apart just when they need each other the most.
Warning: This book contains three people in one hell of a pickle (anyone have any ice cream?), parents who suck at parenthood, parents-to-be who think they’ll suck at parenthood, a relationship-friendship-sexual-kind-of-thing that keeps getting more complicated, and a Chuck Norris joke.
