“Uh-huh,” she sighed, her head falling back and her eyes drifting shut.

I slid my hands around to her back and pressed her forward until her tits were smashed against my chest. I hammered up into her pussy, feeling it tighten around me. She was so close to coming, and so was I. But I needed something else first to make the moment perfect.

“As my wife.”

Her entire body shook as she cried out, “Yes!”

My cock jerked inside her, my hot come filling her up. We continued to rock together until her orgasm was over. She slumped against my chest and peeked up at me. “Did you really just ask me to marry you in the middle of sex?”

“You wanted me to convince you to move in with me.” I switched our positions and stretched my arm out to pull the top drawer on my bedside table. Pulling out a jewelry box, I flipped it open with my thumb. “I figured a great orgasm and a diamond ring just might do it.”

Her eyes widened in surprise and filled with tears. “This isn’t a spur-of-the-moment thing? You got me a ring?”

“When you tried to leave, I realized I loved you and never wanted you to go.” I pulled the ring out of the box and slid it on her finger. “I asked one of my teammates for the name of their jeweler. The guy he uses was more than happy to come to the stadium yesterday to let me pick out the perfect ring.”

“You did an excellent job.” She stared down at it in awe. “Can I let you in on a little secret?”

“Absolutely.” I stroked my thumb over her finger, just below where my ring now rested. “I want all of them.”

She grinned at me. “I was hoping you’d come upstairs tonight and talk me into staying. I didn’t want to go for the same reason. I love you, too.”

I claimed her lips in a passionate kiss before asking, “Is that a yes to my proposal?”

“Only if you tell me why you call me angel.”

It was going to sound corny as fuck, but that didn’t stop me from answering. If she wanted to know, then I was going to tell her. “Because you’re my guardian angel.”

Epilogue

Sera

Iwasn’t usually prone to nerves, but I’d never been in a situation like this one before. I was anxious enough that I was betraying the feeling each time my leg started to bounce up and down. I’d caught myself doing it five different times during the drive to the office for our meeting with my boss.

“Stop stressing about what Brecken is going to say.” Rowan reached his hand across the console to rest his palm over my stomach. “It’s not good for you right now.”

“I know,” I sighed, lacing my fingers through his. “I shouldn’t be this worked up about it. I’m sure Brecken will be cool about my decision, especially under the circumstances.”

“Of course, he will.” Rowan’s lips curved up in a smug grin. “It’s not like you can keep working in the field when you’re carrying two of my babies inside you.”

I’d almost fallen over in shock when the doctor announced I was carrying twins less than an hour ago. We’d found out I was pregnant at the six-week mark but had chosen to keep it quiet for a little while. Things had already been crazy enough with Rowan nearing the end of his last season as a football player, and I didn’t want the focus to be split between his professional and personal life. The only person we’d told was Rachel, who’d been doing great ever since her doctors had figured out the right dosage for her heart medications. She’d gotten even better once she knew she was going to be a grandmother.

Since my team had been working with a Fortune 500 company that needed a major security overhaul for the past two months, there hadn’t been any risk of hurting myself at work. The timing had been perfect for me to be able to hold off on sharing the news with the guys right away.

We’d been planning to wait until I was past the first trimester, but today’s revelation had prompted us to re-evaluate that decision since we were less than a week away anyway. The knowledge that I was carrying two babies instead of one changed my plans for work, and I wanted to loop in my boss and teammates sooner rather than later.

“You ready to do this?” Rowen asked after pulling the car into my assigned parking spot.

I flashed him a reassuring smile. “Yup.”

We walked into the office hand-in-hand. When Whit spotted us, he whistled under his breath. “Look who’s here. The happy couple.”

“I thought you were going to be a lady of leisure, taking a random day off?” Devon asked.

Rowan aimed a glare Devon’s way, knowing how much the guys liked to razz me about my new lifestyle as a football wife. They felt comfortable teasing me about it because other than my address and attending football games, nothing much had changed. Little did they know how true their jokes were about to be.

I ran my hand down Rowan’s back in a soothing gesture. “We’re just dropping in for a quick meeting with Brecken and you guys.”
