That got a laugh out of her.
“We don’t have anything on him yet. Don’t worry.”
“Colt, that is impossible. Anxiety is alive and well over here, trust me.”
I grabbed her arm and pulled her onto my lap. She made a cute squeak, and I tightened my arms around her.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Giving you a hug.”
“Oh?”
“To help you relax. You’re safe.”
“Oh.” Slowly, she relaxed into me. “I bet you hug Daisy like this. I bet she thinks nothing bad will ever happen to her because you’re her dad.”
“Nothing bad will ever happen to her.”
Macy traced the tattoos on my forearms. That small touch seared through me.
“Bad things will happen, Colt. You can’t stop that. And you can’t feel guilty about it, either. All you can do is be there for her.”
I grunted, my chest tight.
“You can love her, be there to help her put the pieces back together. My mom used to say we aren’t to blame for the bad stuff that happens in our lives, but we are in charge of healing from it.”
“Sounds like a wise woman.”
“She was.”
Macy snuggled deeper against me, and my cock swelled.Shit. I counted to ten, trying to find some control.

I gripped her hip. “Macy.”
“Yes, Colt?” Her voice was breathy.
She knew exactly what she was doing. She was in another fucking dress today. It was flirty. White with blue stripes. Summer personified.
I had no right to touch something so sweet.
“You’re going to get up now.” I gripped her knee. Her skin was so smooth.
“Okay.”
Neither of us moved.
She deserved some nice guy, who could buy her flowers every day and didn’t swear all the time, and who could give her a damn white picket fence.
I slid my hand up higher, and heard her breath hitch. Her dress had a deepVneckline, and I could see the swells of her pretty breasts.
My cock was harder than steel now.
“Colt, I know you said you don’t do relationships. I understand, sort of. And I promise, I’ll keep all my strings and complications to myself.”
I gently stroked her inner thigh and she jolted. “Macy—”
