“
He laughed. “I’m never forgettin’, so….”
“So what you’re saying is we’re doing this?”
“Yeah, because I’m not forgettin’ you used to like me—”
“Oh hell no.” I rolled onto my hip and freaking went for him.
Not for his head but for his ribs. His weak spot.
“What the fuck, Bianca!” Zac literally fucking shouted as he threw his body and head back against the headboard, his arms slamming down into place against his ribs… and my fingers.
I cackled, digging my fingers even deeper into his sides. “You remember now? Who’s your daddy, huh?”
Those big, strong arms jerked up and down along his sides, trying to disengage me as he tried to melt into the headboard to get away from me. “You said you were gonna noogie me! What the hell are you doing? Stop it!”
“Duh. Ouch!”
He instantly stopped moving, and so did I in surprise that he’d actually stopped after his elbow clipped one of the bones on my wrist.
Zac’s face was flushed red, eyes bright, and I decided to take pity on him. So I smiled, keeping my fingers where they were but not digging in anymore. “You thought I didn’t remember?” I asked him before dipping my face in even closer. Then I whispered, like a psycho, “I remember everything.” I tapped my fingers lightly along his sides, feeling him flinch. “Especially you being ticklish.”
Those blue eyes bore into mine, and his mouth went damn near flat. Zac’s voice was almost a whisper too as he said, “Did you ask me who my daddy is?”
I nodded gravely.
His voice was still a whisper when he went on with, “You’re my daddy now, I guess.”
Pulling my fingers away, I sat back on my knees and laughed. “Deal. I promise not to use that against you unless I have to.”
His nostrils flared, and he stared at me right in the eyes as he said, still quietly, “Bianca.”
“Yes?”
“I remember things too.”
What?
Before I could process who this man was, what he did for a living, and what talents he’d polished over the years, he came at me with one of those hands that were lightning fast and accurate. Zac licked the tip of his index finger and shoved that turd into my ear just as I started yelling, “Don’t you dare!”
He dared.
