The Billionaire (The Dalton Brothers 2) - Page 26

“You just spent a week in Vegas. Now, it’s her turn. Spoil her—even more than you already do.” And because he needed to hear this, I added, “Let’s not forget you were a fucking animal before Everly came into your life. You partied every night; you slept with every skirt in LA. But the moment she came into your world, you did a one-eighty. You went from being a selfish motherfucker to Everly’s father, and not every dad can say that.”

He sighed, rubbing his hands over the wooden armrests. “I appreciate that.” He huffed out more air. “You know, I still wake up sometimes, shocked as hell that I’m a father and she’s mine.”

“I’m pretty sure every parent says that.”

“You’re probably right.” He was quiet for a few seconds and then said, “What about you? Are you good?”

“I’m headed to Miami tomorrow for three days.”

There was finally a change in his expression, and that was because he was laughing. “Jesus, I knew it.”

“It’s for work, asshole. But, yes, I’ll be seeing her.”

“And when the Miami opportunity presented itself, you jumped all over it—no need to confirm. I already know.”

He wasn’t exactly right.

But he was right enough.

“So?” I inquired.

“So … this is shaping up to be a long-distance thing. The one thing you said you didn’t want. And when I caught you almost rubbing one off, your expression told me everything I’d suspected.”

“Which is?”

“You’re fucking wild about her.” He put his hand up as I attempted to respond. “Whether you want to admit it or not, she’s the one.”

“She’s twenty-two years old, Ford.”

He rolled his eyes, like his fucking daughter. “Not again with the age reminder. We know how old she is. It doesn’t make a difference.”

“You’re wrong.” I shook my head. “I like what she does to my cock. End of story.”

“Yeah, yeah.” He got up and walked to the door. “I don’t know how you became a fucking billionaire, doing law, because you have the worst poker face I’ve ever seen in my life.”

I pointed to the door. “Get out.”

He chuckled as he opened it. “God, it feels good to be right.”
