Right now, we were all there celebrating it.

I walked us closer to the table, and Ryker wiggled in my arms. I put him down and he ran toward his mom. Roman stopped him before he could climb onto her lap.

“Careful, son.”

Ryleigh rolled her eyes. “Don’t be so overprotective, Roman. I’m pregnant, not an invalid. I can still hold Ryker on my lap.”

Roman looked at her with a dark, possessive look in his eyes. He had been like that ever since they found out Ryleigh was pregnant with their second kid.

A girl this time.

Lord help him.

I smiled and moved behind Lainey, wrapping my arms around her.

She leaned back against me and looked up, smiling, before turning back to the cake that said ‘Congratulations Lainey’ in buttercream frosting.

Everyone surrounded us while they helped us celebrate this moment with her.

Her happiness showed through every facet of her face, though there was a small cloud of sadness because her grandma wasn’t there to celebrate with her.

The woman had died three years before, and though it wasn’t new, I knew Lainey felt her absence with every life milestone that passed.

I pulled her a little closer to me, offering comfort in the only way I knew how.

Leaning down, I kissed the top of her head. “Congratulations, sweetheart. I’m so proud of you.”

Tears shimmered in her eyes, and she reached up and kissed my cheek, her palm running over my beard. “Thank you.”

It was still earlywhen I brought Lainey home with me.

She giggled when I walked around the truck, pulled her out from the passenger side and into my arms, and rushed inside.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, leaning forward and kissing along my jawline.

My cock twitched within the confines of my pants. Fuck me, but I needed to be inside hernow.

“You sure you don’t want to just take me in your truck? Might save us some time.”

I narrowed my eyes at the little brat. “Don’t tempt me, sweetheart. I might do just that.”

She shook her head, an amusement twisting her lips.

I led us to the front door and waited for her to use her key to unlock it for us. I shoved the door open and walked inside, kicking it shut with my foot. I set her down and pushed her against the wall by the door, my hands tugging up her shirt and throwing it somewhere to my left.

I tugged down her bra, and her breasts sprang free, her hard nipples pointing out and begging for my attention.

So that was what I did.

I grabbed one between my fingers and twisted it harshly while sucking the other one in my mouth, rolling it between my teeth.

Her head fell back against the wall with a thud, and I sucked harder, bringing more of her into my mouth and twisting the other one roughly.

She moaned, loving it when I abused her pretty little nipples.

“Micah, please,” she pleaded, running her fingers through my hair and grinding her hips against mine, rubbing up against my hard-on.
