The Single Dad (The Dalton Family, #3)

by Marni Mann

“Hey, hey,” I whispered into her face. The heat from her crying thick like steam. “I know you don’t know my voice or the feel of my arms, but I’m going to tell you something.” I pressed my lips against her forehead, breathing her in, her scent so clean and powdery. “I’m never going to let anything happen to you.” I held my lips there, my eyes closing, my heart pounding away. “I promise.”

Who is this girl … and what the fuck is she going to do to me?

“Ouch. Gabby cannot talk too loud or sit up too fast; she’s slowly dying.” “You realize you’re talking about yourself in third person, right?” “I hardly even know I’m a person right now, never mind what I’m actually saying.”

And in that moment, I knew something else to be true. Ford Dalton was mine.

“Sydney …” I hovered over her lips, tasting her in the air, my cock growing, hardening inside her. “I want you to fuck me again.”

That I was asking, “Be my wife?” “And my mommy,” Everly chimed in. I slipped my other arm around Everly, glancing at my daughter as I added, “Be ours.”
