“That’s not healthy,” she said.
Cole grinned with a few of the other guys and kissed the top of her head. “No, baby, it’s not.”
“Where’s my peanut?” someone bellowed.
Jade twirled around, bounced, and then looked up at him. “Can I go, Daddy?”
“Yes.”
She squealed and raced toward Blake. Cole saw him sweep her up in his arms, making her giggle boisterously.
“Man, she’s something. You are one lucky fucker,” Eric said.
Cole grinned. “Yes, she is. Remind me to tell you how we met sometime.”
Eric chuckled. “I bet it’s a good one.”
“I will tell you about when I told her I was a SEAL. She said they were cute, but she liked dolphins better.”
Cole laughed when Eric started choking on his beer. “That’s what Blake did. He choked on his coffee.”
Blake walked back to them with Jade over his shoulder, yelling at him and pounding on his back.
Cole snorted. “Why are you carrying Jade, Blake?”
“Daddy, make me put him down,” Jade yelled.
Blake grunted. “You need to spank this girl.”
“Oh, God, what did she do?” Cole asked.
“Daddy…” Jade shouted.
“She started lecturing one of the whores about loving their body and taking care of themselves. It looked like two ofthem were about ready to rip into her,” Blake told him.
“Put her down.” Cole pulled her over to his side, and she tried to straighten her clothes and hair.
“I’m dizzy.”
Cole grinned. “How about we go a night without beating anyone up?”
Cole watched the guys who heard him laugh in disbelief. They hadn’t spent time with his little, but they’d see eventually that Cole wasn’t teasing her. He’d explain more to them later.
“I told you I’d be on my best behavior,” Jade said.
“That’s true. Let’s see how long it lasts,” Cole said.
Jade gasped.
“Oh, fuck, the cunt is here?” Eric asked and pointed to the door.
Cole rolled his eyes and then cringed when he heard Christy’s high-pitched voice.
“Who’s he talking about, Daddy?” Jade asked.
“I think you’re about to meet her. I’ll explain later.”
“Oh, my God. Cole, is that you?” Christy tried to hug him.
