He nods, looking away for a moment to collect himself.

Hawk returns with a nurse who checks me over, taking a frustratingly long time before finally, I’m allowed to see my baby.

“She’s perfect,” I breathe as I look at the tiny little girl, as fragile as a doll inside the NICU unit.

“What are you going to call her?” Hawk asks.

“I’m not sure, what do you think?” I ask, looking around at the guys.

“Well, she’s a fighter, just like her mom. In Greek mythology, Alala was the personification of a battle cry,” Hawk says.

“Or we thought Sofia, which means wisdom, because she’ll grow up with the wisdom to know that family isn’t always traditional,” Bear adds.

I look at Wolf, who shrugs. “I like them both, I’m not great with this kinda thing.”

I smile at him, squeezing his hand. Wolf is just as sensitive and caring in his own way. “I like them both, too. How about Sofia Alala?”

“It’s perfect,” Wolf says, and the others agree.

They surround me, enveloping me in hugs and kisses as they tell me how incredible and brave I am, how in awe they are of me and our baby.

“Our family,” Bear says, kissing my temple.

“Our warrior woman,” Wolf says proudly, taking my hand and kissing the palm like a knight swearing fealty to his queen.

“Our everything,” Hawk whispers with rare tears in his eyes.

Chapter 33

Harper

Istand for a moment, marveling in the peaceful innocence of Sofia’s slumber. Six weeks on from her rather traumatic birth, Sofia is thriving, having surpassed the doctor’s expectations. I also finally feel like myself again. The recovery has been frustrating, especially when I’m unable to be the mom I want to be to Jenny and Sofia. I’m eternally grateful to the guys for stepping up as dads, handling the nappy changes, the nighttime feeds, and making sure Jenny feels just as loved and seen as before. In short, doing all the things my body won’t allow me to do while I’m recovering.

Tomorrow is Sofia’s christening. I can’t wait to formally introduce her to the world. The guys are smitten, and she’s already got her dads wrapped around her little finger. God help us when she can actually speak. Jenny’s at a sleepover tonight with Sammy, though even with the promise of a fun-filled night with her best friend, Jenny was reluctant to leave. She adores her baby sister and tries to help out as much as she can. Thankfully, the lure of candy and a trip to the movie theater convinced her, leaving us with a rare night of peace.

The doctor has finally given me the green light to have sex, and I fully intend to take advantage of that. It’s been too long since I’ve connected with my men in that way, and I yearn for it. I slip out of Sofia’s nursery, checking the baby monitor is working first, and head to the main bedroom.

It’s the largest room in the house, and the enormous bed dominates the space. This is where I sleep. Just as when we livedin the old houses, the guys take turns sharing my bed. However, now it’s big enough to fit us all, so we occasionally all share it, or a couple of the guys will at a time. The guys also understand if I simply need a night alone, without the noise of a companion snoring or tossing and turning beside me. I love it in here, not least because of the gorgeous walk-in wardrobe.

Since we rescued her from Viktor, Katie and I have become close. She’s also dating Tiny, one of the Shadow Pack members, so we see a lot of each other. She’s recently helped me to revamp my wardrobe, finally finding a style that isn’t Haley or the practical mom clothes I used to wear. With the guys worshipping my body and Katie helping me find fun and enjoyment in what I wear, I feel like I’ve finally learned to love my body. After all, this body created the lives of my two incredible children.

I take my time getting ready, soaking in the tub, shaving, plucking, and moisturizing every inch of my body. I put on the new lingerie I purchased for the occasion, the baby blue sheer teddy showcasing my best assets that complements my lightly tanned skin from hours spent in the big yard.

“Wolf, Bear, Hawk, can you come up here for a sec?” I call out.

They stop in surprise when they see me. “Wow, Harper, you look incredible,” Bear says, jaw agape.

Wolf undresses me with his eyes, that dark, hungry look of his making me horny already. He prowls over to me, stopping in his tracks when Hawk asks, “Are you sure this is safe? It’s only been six weeks.”

“The doctor gave me the all-clear this morning, as long as we’re careful.” I look over at Wolf when I say this, knowing he’s the roughest lover of the three.

“Handle with care. Got it,” he murmurs as he begins kissing my neck.

He kisses me passionately, leading me over to the bed and laying me down. Wolf continues to kiss me all over as Hawk and Bear come to join us on the bed. I kiss them both in turn while Wolf continues his exploration of my body, teasing my clit through the fabric of my panties, creating a damp patch. There’s a low rumbling sound in his throat as he tries to hold himself back from ripping them off me and fucking me hard like I know he wants to. I want it too, but he behaves himself, heeding the doctor’s advice.

Instead, he slowly peels off my panties, stroking my clit with his thumb while his fingers dance along my increasingly wet slit. I moan as his tongue flicks out, trailing its way lazily along the length of my pussy. It’s been so long that I feel as if I’m extra sensitive.

Hawk kisses me, his tongue dancing with mine while Bear plays with my swollen, heavy breasts, massaging them in a way that is both soothing and sensual. I moan with pleasure as every nerve in my body is awakened. My pussy throbs with need as Wolf tastes me, delving his tongue deep inside me before plunging his finger inside, feeling how wet I am for him. Wolf is achingly gentle with me, the most tender he’s ever been, and it’s a whole new level of pleasure from him. The animal passion is still there, but it’s more controlled.
