“Pale, Daddy,” popped out of her mouth before she could stop the words.

“Let’s go drink your milkshake, and we can shop online,” Street suggested.

“I have to share my chocolate shake?” she asked, grinning at him mischievously.

“You don’t have to, but I did expend a ton of calories running. Where’d all the black marks come from?” Street asked.

Rosa met Razor’s gaze. The two exchanged a silent message of exasperation. That silliness reminded her of the safe home she had here. This place was full of allies. She smiled at him. “I could probably schedule another appointment with you to talk. You know, if you want to?”

“Next week, after you return from class?” he suggested.

“I’d like that, Razor.”

A loud slurp drew her attention back to her Daddy. He was drinking her milkshake! “Bad Daddy!”

Street held out the treat. “Ready to go home, Little girl?”

“Please.”

Street met Razor’s gaze over her head. “Thanks, Razor.”

“My pleasure. And Street?”

“Yes?”

“Order pink ribbons to match,” Razor told him.

Rosa bounced with happiness on her toes. This would be so much fun. Just wait until her friends saw them.

“Of course. Come on, Little girl,” Street said, guiding her toward the door.

Feeling more hopeful than she had for a long time, Rosa glanced over her shoulder at Razor. “See you next week.”

“No more accidents, Rosa,” Razor told her firmly.

She grinned at him and waved. Coming to the doctor wasn’t too bad.

Chapter 21

Street accompanied Rosa proudly to the next cookout. He’d brought his Little girl’s favorite treats, deviled eggs. She walked into the group with an entirely different attitude than she had those first few days in the Devil Daddies’ compound. Her shoulders were back, and her lips curved in a big grin as she greeted everyone.

“Nice hairdo, Street. You’re going to start a fashion trend,” Vex teased him as he eyed the pink ribbons Rosa had tied into his hair.

“Daddy, I love them. Can I have ribbons next time?” Angel asked, dancing eagerly at Vex’s side.

“Of course you can, Baby girl.”

“Daddy? Can I fix your hair too?” Angel asked.

Street watched Angel bat her pretty eyes at Vex and predicted Vex would crumble in seconds. He grinned with delight when Vex met Street’s gaze and hissed out of the corner of his mouth. “I’m never going to forget this started with you.”

Plastering a smile on his face, Vex turned to the sweet woman in front of him. “Of course, Angel. But only if we can match like Street and Rosa do.”

“Perfect, Daddy!” Angel ran over to tell Rosa. The two women squealed and bounced around in a joyful circle.

“Dudes.” Razor shook his head at them both and headed for Honey as she made her way slowly toward him.

“Should I text Scythe and warn him?” Street asked Vex.
