“Hey!” he exclaimed. “There’s an art to this style.”
I rolled my eyes. “You were with Tracy,” I guessed.
Gideon grinned and leaned back. “Lacy,” he answered casually. The two girls were Irish twins, only a year apart.
“Gideon!” Marleigh gasped. “I didn’t raise you to treat women like this!”
He chuckled and leaned in to kiss his mom’s cheek. “No, you didn’t. That’s why I was tutoring Lacy.”
“Oh.” Marleigh beamed at him.
Until he added, “After I made out with Tracy.”
My wife glared up at me. “Why aren’t you scaring Gideon away from someone else’s daughter?”
“Because I know my sons, and neither of them would disrespect a woman or suffer the wrath of their mother.”
“True story,” Gideon grumbled.
Marleigh didn’t have a comeback for that, so she went back to watching the game. Or…hiding from it with her face buried in my chest.
“Yo, Adam!” Gideon suddenly shouted. “Hands to yourself before I break them off!”
I glanced over just in time to see another player running away from my daughter. “Gideon!” Elyse yelled and stomped her foot. “I’m going to kill you!”
Over Marleigh’s head, my son and I high-fived, and I grunted, “Nice job.”
Marleigh threw up her hands and growled, “I’m surrounded by Neanderthals!”
Dragging her into my side again, I leaned down to whisper in her ear. “You love it when I drag you to my cave and have my way with you.”
Marleigh’s cheeks turned pink, and I winked at her, smirking when she melted into my side. Even after all these years together, our passion hadn’t dimmed.
“Don’t you kids have somewhere to be tonight?” I asked Gideon, my eyes still locked with my wife’s ice-blue orbs.
“Yeah, yeah,” he sighed. “We’ll go get pizza. Could you two at least pretend you aren’t sending us out of the house so you can get busy? It’s gross.”
Laughing, I replied, “I’ll remind you of that when you’re sending your kids to my house someday.”
