I was going to be a father.

I'd put a baby in her.

It was a beautiful mistake that I knew I would never regret, no matter how much trouble or pain it would cause.

It was terrifying.

I didn’t know anything about being a parent.

I wasn’t shown how to do this.

I never had an example.

All I had in the world was a fake twin brother and the girl beneath me.

Still, I had no regrets.

"I'm yours."

Fuck, she had no idea how badly I needed to hear that right now.

I already came inside of her, set off when he came hard on my cock, but I couldn’t pull out. I couldn’t bear the thought of our bodies separating.

Her hands came up to cup my face, causing my body to ignite in an almost pained sensation.

It was too much.

She was too fucking much for me.

"I love you, Sketch Capaldi," she whispered, her whiskey-colored eyes snaring me, one blink at a time. "So damn much it hurts." Pulling my face down to hers, she pressed a kiss to the corner of my mouth. "Since forever..."

"And for always." Exhaling heavily, I rested my forehead against hers and closed my eyes, absorbing this moment, taking it all in. I tried to loosen my hold on her waist, desperate not to hurt her or our baby, but I only ended up tightening my hold on her instead.

Christ, I was drowning in my feelings for this girl.

"I love you more, Romi Dillon," I admitted hoarsely. "With everything I have inside of me."

"I know you do," she replied, her voice a breathy whisper, barely audible above the sound of our frantic heartbeats, but I heard it.

Her hands were still on my face, thumbs tracing my cheeks, as she locked her legs around my waist.

"Fuck, it's not enough," I groaned, aching all over with need. "I need to get deeper."

"Deeper?"

Nodding, I tugged her closer. "Deeper." She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. Bu she was ugly and fractured on the inside. Just like me. Her broken pieces matched mine. We completed our own jigsaw. "I just want to fall into you, Ro."

"Imagine if we could just get lost," she said, thoughtfully. "God, that's appealing."

"I can get you out of this," I promised. "I know I can. You just have to trust me and not hate me for doing the hard things that nobody wants to do. Because Iwillfix this for you, Romi."

Her eyes bored holes deeper inside of me than any bullet ever could. "What kind of hard things?"

I opened my mouth to answer her, but the sound of the ladder creaking caused my entire frame to turn rigid.

"Oh my God!" Romi hissed, eyes locked on mine in horror. "They found us…"

I had my dick out of her in an instant. Balls naked, I shoved her roughly behind me and reached for my gun.
