“Hello, my soon-to-be husband.”
My smile grows.
The sooner I can get her home and sink deep inside her, the better.As new parents, we haven’t had as much time as I’d like to explore the lust we’ve contained for months.
But we’ve had some.
And it’s been the best sex of my life.
Making love...yeah, single dudes do not know what they are missing.When a woman knows she is loved and adored, good fucking lord, they open up in ways a man can only dream about.
I’m not dreaming any longer.
This sexy woman belongs to me, and she loves my cock.
When her body heals more, oh, the things I am going to do to her.Once I find those suspender belts again.
My prediction is that Zara will have a little brother or sister soon.If I have my way.I want a big family, and Scarlett said she’d be happy to have one or two more.
“I can’t believe how quicky they all saw my ring.”Scarlett lifts her hand, studies the four-carat diamond, then loops her fingers behind my neck again.“Then again, it is pretty sparkly.”
“And they’re magpies.”I move us around the dance floor, recalling how once Cassy saw it and screamed her head off, all the women came flying.
“Congrats, Cole,” Ryder shook my hand, and the rest of the BHS crew lined up to do the same.
“I knew,” Aidan said.
“No, you didn’t.”I laughed.
“I did.”Liam shrugged.“I saw you at the warehouse.There’s a difference between a man on a battlefield saving a life and one holding the woman he loves.”
Scarlett overheard that, and our eyes locked.
I reached for her and kissed her right in front of everyone.So that she knows.So that they all know that she is without a doubt the woman I am spending the rest of my life with.
We’ve decided to wait a while before getting married.At least a year so that we have time to focus on Zara and get used to living together.
That’s a lot of change for anyone.
“You need to tell your mom,” I say.“You don’t have to invite her, but tell her.Give her the choice, then you know you’ve done your part.”
“I know,” Scarlett sighs.“The contrast between your family and mine is just embarrassing.”
“Don’t.You aren’t her.Just as I’m not my dad.”I say.“We have broken their patterns, and our job now is to be the best parents we can be.That includes making sure that Zara has access to her grandparents.What they choose is up to them.”
“Fine, but Mom is never taking Zara on her own.”
Agreed.
No fucking way.
“Let’s go,” I say, spotting Caylee talking to Jake with her arms wrapped around her middle.
We need to get Zara home to bed, and Scarlett was fading...and my sister needs to get away from Jake.
