It’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen and for a brief second, it makes me think a baby Iyaran in our lives might not be a bad thing.

Someday, maybe.Let’s get rid of the intergalactic coalition of evil and their invasion first.

Although we’ll probably have to adopt since Iyarans haven’t been able to procreate with other species.

I sniffle and give Maddox a huge smile. “Thank you so much. This is the greatest gift ever.”

Kai gives me a fond look. “You’re going to look at this every day, aren’t you?”

“Fuck yeah, I am. It’s going to sit on my desk at work.”

“Not in your writing cave?”

I arch an eyebrow at him. “I don’t think your baby pics, as adorable as they are, provide the proper atmosphere for me to pen my Vardox and Starblade stories.”

A hot look fills his eyes.

Anytime I mention my fictional MCs, I turn him on big time.

After all, he’s my number one fan.

“You’re trouble,” he rumbles at me in a sexy growl, and I have to bite my bottom lip when my cock perks up in interest.

Simmer down, I have to tell it.

Already, I’m dreading the fact that we have to sleep apart from each other until the ceremony is over. And that the separation startstonight.

Why, cruel universe? Why?

“Stop that,” I whine as he continues to gaze at me with a look so hot it threatens to burn my clothes right off me. “I don’t need a boner you can’t do anything about right now.”

His answering grin is downright evil. “I want to see you shiver with antici… pation, darling.”

Oh, fuck me sideways. He’s quotingRocky Horrorat me now? The man is learning how to unravel me at the seams.

Also, now I absolutelyneedto see Kai dressed up as Dr. Frank-N-Furter because that would be so fucking hot.

Mental note to self: buy Kai a leather bustier, fishnets, garters, and high heels for our honeymoon.

Iris gets to her feet, and I’m yanked out of my horny reverie.

Focus, man!

“Now, River, I know that none of your grandparents are still with us… or worth mentioning,” she mutters under her breath.

My mom salutes her with her wineglass, a dark expression on her face.

Her evil parents are basically dead to us after all the shit they’ve pulled trying to ruin, and quite literally end, our lives.

Iris continues. “But it is customary for any living grandparents to provide a family welcome offering as well.” She passes a beautifully wrapped box down the table to me.

“This is a little something from me and your new grandfather, Jeston, who’ll be joining us tomorrow for the ceremony. He sends his apologies that he couldn’t join us tonight, but he’s been working on something for me to helpprotect this planet from the threats you’re facing and was unavoidably delayed.”

Iris is seriously kickass.

She’s been calling on all of her old contacts for reinforcements to help us prevent the invasion we’re anticipating. I’ll be honest, having her take charge of this has me feeling a lot more reassured. Even I wouldn’t want to mess with Iris Genaro!

Carefully opening the package, I wonder what my new Grandma and Gramps picked out for me as a gift.
