“You can go.” I sit on the couch with Lyss, our postures terrible as we slump in and rest our feet on Twain’s sleeping back.

Notebook in hand, and armed with a dozen different colored pens, she and I are equipped and ready to write the next great American novel.

And her poor dad doesn’t know what to do with his time.

“Miles?” I tilt my head to the side. “You’ve been dismissed.”

“But I… she…” He looks from me to his daughter, back and forth, while she adopts the same attitude that comes so easily to me.

She tilts her head, smirks, and shoos him away with a flick of her wrist.

“I don’t know how…” His eyes flick to the front door, then back to us. “Brooke…”

“We’re right here, Miles. Literally inside your own home. We’re writing a book, just like I promised, and you have to work out. Stacked Deck isn’t going to go slow for you just because you wanted to sit with us and get lazy. You need to keep your fitness up.”

“I’ll be just outside, okay?”

I swear this is a monumental moment for the obsessive dad. It’s not like he’s leaving her with a random babysitter, and galivanting all over town. He’ll literally be outside – and I have good money on the fact he’ll keep the door open.

“Brooke…”

“Miles!”

“Fine.” He throws his hands up and spins to walk away, only to spin back and storm into the room.

He crosses the space in a half a dozen long strides, comes up to the back of the couch, and drops a noisy kiss on the top of Lyss’ head. She giggles from his intensity, but her giggle goes wild when he steps to the right and does the same for me.

Except it’s not my head. It’s my lips.

Oh god.

My blood fires when he grabs my chin and yanks my head up so fast that my neck almost snaps. Broad hand under my chin, commanding which way I move, he slams his lips down over mine, and when I squeak from surprise and Lyss squeals with delight, Miles’ tongue taps at my lip and draws a hot sigh from the center of my chest.

Before I can toss my book aside and reach up to hold him close, he ends it, pulls back with a gasp, and looks at me upside down while I melt into a pool of goo.

Those dark eyes, so frightening and serious, stare at me for a whole minute. Then he nods just once, grunts, and turns away. “Be good. Both of you.”

And then he’s gone.

“Daddy!” Lyss rolls around in place, giggling and clutching to her teddy bear like it’s her only constant. “Daddy kissed a girl! Eww!”

“Hey now.” Still reeling, breathless, I try to focus on the girl and not her dad. “I’m not eww. I’m Brooke.”

“He kissed you.” Her voice breaks because of her bubbling laughter. At least she’s not crying, I suppose. “My daddy kissed you on the lips.”

“Yeah…” I clear my throat and cast a glance to the now empty doorway.
