“Scratch that,” I said as I kissed my mark on her neck. “I need to make love to you before we get up.”

Emma chuckled and turned around. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.

I moaned, tangling my fingers into her hair and pressing her even closer to me.

No matter how much time passed, I would always want her and need her. She was fucking perfect and I adored every part of her body and soul. I loved her so fucking much.

I ran my hand down her back and grabbed her perfect little butt. I was as hard as a rock and I needed to get inside her right now.

She stopped hissing me and lowered her head. She started sucking on her mark on my neck, making my eyes roll to the back of my head.

I was just about to pull her pajama pants down when I heard someone approaching our bedroom. I recognized my son’s scent immediately.

I growled just as he knocked on our bedroom door.

“Get up,” Alexander said. “Hunter’s family will be here in two hours.”

I turned to lie on my back and I ran my fingers through my hair.

“I thought that our sex life was supposed to get better after they grow up,” I mumbled, making Emma laugh.

“I heard that and it’s gross,” Alexander mumbled as he walked away.

Emma snorted and started getting up. I pulled her back and pressed her closer to me.

“We have time,” I mumbled as I placed a small kiss on her shoulder.

Emma chuckled and ran her fingers through my hair.

“He will come back,” Emma said. “He is probably very nervous.”

I had to hold back a whine.

“I will be all yours tonight,” Emma said, making me smile.

“Do you promise?” I asked.

“I promise,” she said as she pressed her lips against mine.

I had to hold back a moan. I really wanted to stay in bed with her a little bit longer. I needed her today. I needed to feel her and reassure myself that she was really mine.

I didn’t know why I was this needy today. Maybe it was because Nathan was coming and everything that happened just came back to the surface. I remembered how scared I was. I remembered how angry I was. I thought that I was going to lose her. I thought that she would leave me. I thought that he would take her away from me. Everything that happened with Nathan was hard for me. Just remembering that part of our lives brought that pain back to the surface. I needed to feel Emma so that the pain would go away.

She stopped kissing me way too soon. She looked at me and caressed my cheek.

“I can feel your emotions, Logan,” she mumbled. “I know this will be hard, but I want you to know that I love you so much. I am incredibly proud of you and I am incredibly proud to be your mate.”

I smiled at her. “I love you.”

“I love you too,” she said, smiling.

She stood up and stretched out.

“Come on,” she said as she walked toward the bathroom. “Our kids need us.”

I stood up with a huff and followed her to the bathroom.

“Do you think that Nathan really changed?” I asked her as we started brushing our teeth.
