“What are you smiling about?”

I look up and feel all the air leave my lungs.

“Jesus Christ,” I rasp.

Olivia looks like an older, brunette-haired version of our daughter. She has her hair up in a bun, leaving her neck and shoulders completely on display.

I want to run my beard over her skin, making it known that she belongs to me.

Olivia raises a brow, and I push away the caveman thoughts…for now.

“You are gorgeous, Livvy.”

Her cheeks redden, making my dick hard.

Discreetly, I reach down and adjust myself.

Clearly, it’s been too long if such a simple act makes my dick take notice.

“Thank you,” she says quietly.

“Would you two mind taking a photo with me?”

“Yes!” Ari claps.

Olivia shrugs. “Sure.”

I pick Ari up and set her on my hip and pull my phone out of my pocket. Olivia comes to stand on the other side of Ari as I pull up the camera.

“Squeeze in tight,” I tell her.

I bite back a chuckle when I watch her eyes roll on the screen.

“All right, everyone smile.”

“Cheese!” Ari says, smiling wide.

I tap the button, and multiple photos are taken at once. When it’s done, I check my camera roll to make sure we got a good one.

That one. That’s the one I’m going to frame,I think as I stare at the photo.

“We good?” Olivia asks.

“Yeah. Are you two ready to go?” I ask as I set Ari down.

“Let’s do this,” Livvy tells me.

“You could have warned me that we were coming to your neighborhood,” Livvy says quietly.

“Who says we’re in my neighborhood?” I ask as I watch Ari walk up to another porch to get candy.

“You literally parked in your driveway,” Livvy deadpans.

“Okay, you got me.” I shrug as I run my hand along her back. “Does it matter, though?”

Livvy bites her lip as Ari comes running back with a smile on her face.

“I got more!” Ari cheers.
