“You did kinda amazing, too, Daddy.” She smiled up at him sweetly. “I’m sure you’ll do better next time if we practice lots and lots.”
“What an excellent idea, Madison. Daddy looked like he was having so much fun up there, I bet he wants to come to your classes to practice with you every day from now on.”
“Yay!” she screeched before running to the side of the room to grab her dance bag.
“You’re going to pay for that later,” Xander growled, as if we both didn’t know he’d have his ass right back on the dance floor any time Madison wanted him there.
“Oh, please,” I laughed. “Like I don’t know that I’m always safe with you.”
And I was… even when he was making me pay at night for whatever hell I’d raised during the day.
