Lucky set her down on the floor and she stepped behind his leg, wrapping her arm around his thigh as she peaked around to look up at me.
Blond, gravity-defying curls stood straight up on top of her head while round, cornflower-blue eyes studied me quietly. Those eyes along with her supremely rounded cheeks made it clear how she came by her nickname.
“Hello, Brayleigh,” I greeted her softly.
She hid her face in her dad’s leg.
Lucky laughed. “She’s not usually shy!”
I spotted the corner of her room where she kept her toys and settled myself on the floor. Out of the corner of my eye I watched her taking me in.
“Lucky, these are nice toys,” I commented softly. “I like your toys, Brayleigh.”
She took a tentative step forward, her hand still grasping Lucky’s leg. Lucky untucked her arm and sat down on the floor, placing her between his thighs, the toys somewhat between us.
“Them toys mine,” she told me with big eyes.
“Your toys,” I agreed.
She crawled forward and chose a stuffed bear. “Mine bear,” she declared, then got to her feet and dumped it into my lap.
“This is a handsome bear,” I told her, picking it up to admire it.
Lucky drew his legs up and rested his elbows on his bent knees, his clasped hands dangling between them. His brows knit as he watched us. Perhaps he didn’t want me to play with her?
I caught his eye, and he gave me a warm smile.
He wouldn’t smile at you if he knew the thoughts in your head.
I smiled away the false warning in time to receive a stuffed bunny. “Mine bun-bun.”
“Lovely bun-bun,” I replied, and so on until my lap was covered in stuffies.
Brayleigh began to knock them away, and once she’d cleared a space she swung her leg over mine, the momentum knocking her on her diapered bum on my lap. She picked up my necklace. “You sparky,” she said, her eyes shining brightly.
I laughed. “Yes, I’ve been told that before,” I agreed.
She dropped it back on my chest and patted it roughly. “That nice. That mine?” She cocked her head comically to the side.
Lucky jumped to his feet, laughing. “Come on, magpie. Not every sparkly thing is for you.” He scooped her up and winked at me. “Some sparkly things are for daddy.”
I laughed as he reached a hand down to pull me to my feet. He yanked me into his side briefly, sweeping his hand down my spine to the top of my ass before releasing me, all kinds of shiny sparks leaping between us.
I startled when I heard a female voice holler from the main floor. “Where’s my favorite girl?”
Lucky offered me a wry smile. “Baptism by fire.”
I laughed and made sure he took the stairs first. I did not want to be the first face Hope saw.
He loped down the narrow staircase, Brayleigh wiggling excitedly in his arms.
My hands, his back, one push, screaming, tumbling, lying broken at the bottom of the stairs.
The violence of the image forced me back a step before I was able to accept it and follow Lucky down the stairs where I came face-to-face with the most beautiful woman I’d ever laid eyes on in my life.
Eyes the exact shade as her daughter’s, smooth peaches and cream complexion, long honey-blond hair, she was tall and slender but somehow blessed with bust and butt.
“Hi, Tweetie-bird!” Hope nuzzled her nose into Brayleigh’s neck while Brayleigh nestled in Lucky’s arms. They were a picture. A family. Young and beautiful and together.
