"But I'm not tired."
"But I am." Xander faked a yawn. "Remember, I'm still healing. Beau told you to make sure I got a lot of rest, and I can't sleep well if I don't know you're sleeping good first."
Matt loved how well Xander could manipulate his daughter to get her to do what they wanted.
"Okay." She hugged him before slipping off his lap, then going to her dresser and pulling out her pajamas. "I'll be right back." She ran off, leaving them alone.
Matt raised a brow. "I've never seen you look so…." He searched for the right word.
"Colorful?" Xander offered as he stood.
"That's one way of saying it." Matt stepped into his arms. "You're going to get glitter all over me."
"Good, we can shower together." Xander swayed his hips.
"You're supposed to be taking it easy." Matt slid his hands down over his ass.
"I can't stand it anymore. I need you." Xander's hardness pressed against his own.
"I'll take care of you tonight, but you're not cleared for sex yet." Matt stepped back. "Besides, we have to behave until she's asleep."
That got Xander to take a deep breath. "Fine, but I know what I'm able to do. I don't care what Beau says."
"Good thing one of us does." Matt shook his head and laughed again. "You look so ridiculous."
"I look beautiful. Faith told me so."
Matt nodded, figuring it was safer not to argue with his daughter's opinion.
"Ready." Faith ran into the room and jumped up on her bed.
"Did you brush well?"
"I did." She smiled as if showing him her teeth.
"Okay, then big hugs and kisses." Matt watched as Xander bent down and hugged her tightly. "Sleep well, Princess."
"You too, Prince." She grinned back as Matt stepped forward. "Goodnight, Daddy."
"Goodnight." He hugged her and kissed her cheek, still trying to get used to seeing her covered in tattoos. "I love you."
"I love you too." She pulled the zebra close as Matt covered her.
Once they'd left the room, Xander was right back to trying to plead his case as they walked into their room. "I don't need to move much for sex. I can just let you do all the work."
Matt laughed. "Don't I always?"
"Hey, that's not fair. I'll top if you really want me to." Xander eased down on his pillow slow enough that Matt could tell the shoulder still bothered him.
"When did you take your pills?"
"I'll take them after sex." Xander grinned.
"You're insistent."
"And you're getting me naked, so you must agree." Xander smiled as Matt worked the button on his pants open.
"Lift up." Matt swatted his hip before tugging his pants down. "I said I'd take care of you. That doesn't mean we're having sex." He eyed Xander's cock and then glanced back up at his face. "It's really hard to get in the mood when you have bows in your hair."
