“Is this because I could be pregnant?”
My hand goes to her belly, and I flatten my palm there. “Fuck, I hope so.”
“Well, I hope you’re not kidding. Two times last night, Lincoln. It’s a possibility.”
“Good.”
She leans back to look at my face. “Good? Really, you say good?”
I nod. “Yep, I want you to have our babies.”
She’s staring at me, and I hope I don’t regret asking her. “What about you? What do you want?”
She looks up at the ceiling and then back at me. “I thought of something.”
I play along but ask her nervously, “What? What do you want?”
She shifts in my lap. “No, I’m thinking you really like my cupcakes. Right?”
I nuzzle her neck. “I love your cupcakes.”
She puts her hand on my thigh and squeezes. “Is that why you’re asking me to be your wife?”
I smile indulgently. “You’re what I want. The cupcakes are just a bonus.”
She shifts in my lap, spreading her thighs and positioning her core right over my hard cock. “Merry Christmas, Linc.” She pauses and nods her head. “I know it’s crazy, but yes.”
My mouth drops when I realize what she’s telling me. “Yes? So you’ll be my wife?”
She holds up her hand. “I already have the ring on.”
I can’t wait any longer. I kiss her then, showing her exactly what she means to me. We may have done things a little backwards, but it’s all working out. She’s going to be my wife... and the mother of my children. That’s the only thing that matters.
Epilogue
Avery
Five years later
I run the kids over to my aunt and uncle’s and then run back home to shower and get ready. Everything is set in the kitchen; now I just need to get the baby throw-up and everything else off me before Linc gets home. It’s been a hectic day—heck, it’s been a hectic month, but no matter how tired I am, I’m not changing my plans.
I’m stepping out of the shower when I hear the front door open and shut and Linc’s ritual of yelling, “Honey, I’m home.”
I wrap the towel around me and jog halfway down the steps. “You’re home early.”
He takes one look at me, picks me up, and carries me up the stairs. “Yep, and it looks like I got here at just the right time.”
I wrap my hands around his neck. “Actually, I had a whole seduction scene that included a candlelit dinner and your favorite dessert, and I was even going to let you lick the icing off me like you like.”
He’s groaning as he gets to the top of the stairs. “I’ll take all that, but first I need to be inside you.”
I reach down between us and cup his bulge. He’s hard, and I massage him through his pants. “You’re right. You definitely need something.”
He throws me to the bed. “You, that’s what I need.”
I pull the towel off and watch as he undresses. He’s still as handsome as ever. His hard abs on full display have my mouth watering, and when he steps out of his pants, his hard manhood lengthening and bobbing between his legs, well, there’s no way I can stop myself from leaning over and getting a taste. I lick his length as his lower body bucks against my mouth. “What’s the special occasion?” he asks.
I stop midlick and stare up at him. Did he forget? Surely, he hasn’t forgotten the first day we met, December twenty-third, exactly five years ago. When our eyes meet, I see the smoldering affection on his face and the amusement. I slap at his rock-hard abs. “Lincoln!”
He bends over and pulls a box from his pants. “Happy anniversary, baby.”
I take the box and am about to open it but stop myself. There’s absolutely nothing in this box that will bring me more joy than he does. I stand up, shimmying my ass as I walk across the room and set the unopened box on the dresser. “Let’s see. You’ve given me two beautiful daughters, a life that I still can’t believe is mine, and I get to be next to you, go through this life... with you. I don’t need any gifts, Linc. All I need is you.”
He walks toward me and cups my face. “You have me.”
I trail my hand down his stomach and wrap my hand around his hard length. “You’re right, I do.”
I smile up at him before I drop to my knees and take him in my mouth. My life didn’t turn out how I expected... it turned out way better. And I have Linc to love for it.

Lincoln
Ten Years Later
I hope I’m doing the right thing.
The girls are older now and doing their own thing. It’s painful to see, but I think Avery’s taking it even harder than I am. This was once her dream, but now I’m wondering if I should have talked to her about it first.
