“I thought we could go to the pier and watch the ships sail in. If I remember correctly, that’s something you mentioned enjoying.”
Shocked that he would remember that conversation we had in between having sex that night, all I can do is nod.
Surprisingly, it didn’t take us long to reach the shore, and even more surprisingly, no one made any rude comments about our little family as we walked hand in hand to the pier with Cash chattering away on Jax’s hip. If anything, they commented on what a lovely family we made. Pride swelled up in me like I’d never felt before.
As we settled onto one of the benches on the pier, we watched in silence while Cash cooed at all the boats and even some of the seagulls.
“I want to apologize for that morning.” Jax tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear before continuing. “I left the hotel room to get us some breakfast from the bakery around the corner. When I came back, you were gone. The only thing that was there was a note telling me you had a good time, but you weren’t interested in anything more than a one-night stand, which I know we briefly mentioned before anything happened, but I know we both wanted more than one night. I could feel it. But then, seeing your words on that paper, I thought I was wrong about you—about us.”
My heart pounds in my chest. “But the nondisclosure agreement you had your manager have me sign—what about that?”
“My manager confessed everything to me when I told her I wanted to contact you again. She said she did it for my own good, claiming you were a distraction my career couldn’t afford. But I don’t care about my career. All I’ve been able to think about is you. Every thought I’ve had and every song I’ve written since I thought I lost you has been about you and what could have been. I needed to find you and prove to you we are meant to be together. Discovering that we have a son together is the cherry on top of the future I dreamed of having with you.”
Tears well up in my eyes as Jax talks about a future I’ve never dared to imagine. Every emotion I’ve felt for him rises to the surface. “Take me to bed.” I crash my lips against his, needing to feel them on mine. But out of nowhere, Cash decides it’s lunchtime, as his cry breaks the spell, and we pull apart. “Ishould probably feed him.” I take Cash from Jax and discreetly place a baby blanket from the diaper bag over my breast so it’s hidden from the view of strangers, but Cash’s little face is still visible.
“I can’t believe we made him.” Jax caresses Cash’s cheek. “He’s a miracle baby.”
“Not exactly.” I feel my cheeks heat. “I must have calculated wrong when figuring out my menstrual cycle.”
Jax’s hand stills on Cash’s face. “Are you sorry I got you pregnant?” The look of sadness on Jax’s face guts me. How could he ever think I wouldn’t want a child with him?
“No, I love him with all my heart. It’s been hard being a single mom, but I wouldn’t change anything. Well, maybe one thing.” I feel the heat in my cheeks get hotter as Jax gives me a seductive smile.
“I’d like to change all that.” He stands, slips something out of his pocket, and bends on one knee. “Serena Blake, will you do me the honor of marrying me?” he says, holding out a gorgeous diamond engagement ring. “It was my grandmother’s. She gave it to me one time when I was visiting a few months ago, after I told her all about you. She told me to follow my heart. And that’s what I intend to do.”
With tears streaming down my face and a sleeping baby still attached to my breast, I give him my answer. “Yes! I’ll marry you!”

“Are you sure Cashwill be okay with Creed and McKenna for a while?” I ask, suddenly worried about leaving my child with someone for a few hours while Serena and I have some adult time alone.
“He’ll be fine. I haven’t done this in eighteen months. I really, really need you to focus on me right now.” Serena pushes me onto her bed and settles her naked body between my bare thighs where my hard cock is waiting to feel her velvety mouth again after so long without it.
“You know, I haven’t done this since that night, either. You’re the only one I’ve been with or want to be with.”
“Oh, Jax, I think I’m falling in love with you.”
It’s okay if she’s not ready to say it to me. I have enough love for all three of us. “Well, I know I love you.” I pull her hair out of her face so I can look into her beautiful eyes as she takes my cock deep into her mouth with a sigh.
She pumps her hands up and down on my cock that’s now wet with her spit, as the strings of her saliva glisten in the sunlight shining through her bedroom window as she pops off my cock only to lick her way back down, finding my heavy balls waiting for their turn with her tongue.
“That’s it, just like that.” I throw my head against the pillow and begin counting backwards from one hundred, knowing I won’t be able to last long with all the attention she’s giving my cock. “You’re such a good girl.”
A soft purr escapes her lips as it vibrates against my cock pushing me over the edge. “I’m going to come.” I try to warn her, but instead of releasing me from her mouth, she takes me deeper, welcoming my seed as I shoot it deep into her throat as she swallows every last drop.
With a mischievous grin, she raises her head, looks me straight in the eye, and opens her mouth, revealing that she swallowed everything I had to offer her.
“My turn.” I pull her up by her hands, flipping her onto her back as I take my place between her soaked thighs. “Did it turn you on to make me lose control like that?” I flick my tongue across her clit causing her to jump.
“Yes.” She moans as her hips chase my tongue, silently demanding more.
“You’re such a naughty girl.” I nuzzle my nose against her clit and inhale deeply as my tongue pierces her pussy. “God, how I’ve missed your scent.”
Her back arches and her body shakes as she comes all over my face. “Sorry.” She moans, still lost in pleasure. “It’s been so long, and the pregnancy hormones were the worst. My vibrator can’t compare with the real thing.”
“You’ll never have to worry about the real thing again now that we’re together. And the only time you’ll need that vibrator is if we’re tag-teaming you.” I slide up her body, taking a quick suckle of her breast, knowing I’ll need hours to get my fill of them. But for now, this will have to do. “Are you ready for me?” I notch the head of my cock against her entrance.
