“Dane, depositing a billion dollars in their account is excessive.”
“Not when you’re a billionaire, it’s not,” he says easily. “Look, count it as babysitting fees.” He cups my belly. “We’ll need their help with the twins.”
“I can handle our babies,” I counter.
“I know you can, but they’ll wear you out. Your mom and dad want nothing more than to help us. That’s why I built the space for them,” he reminds me.
He did. He had almost an exact replica of their home built for them to make them feel comfortable. I can’t find the will to be upset with him.
“I love you,” he tells me. I melt into him. It never gets old hearing him say that. He knows it’s my weakness. “Are you sure we have to do this baby shower?” He slides his hand up my dress. I moan when he reaches my panties.
“Our moms have been planning it for months,” I try to remind him, but I’m lost in what his hand is doing between my legs.
“You know your pussy tastes even sweeter now.”
“You saying it wasn’t sweet before?” I tease back.
“Everything about you is sweet.”
I moan as his two of his fingers enter me. His other hand rubs my belly.
“I don’t want this to ever go away. It shows everyone you belong to someone.” His fingers find the right spot and before I know it I’m crying out. The pleasure of his words and the magic of his fingers send me over. I’m so easy to get off these days and he knows it. He catches me as my knees give out. My man would never let me fall.
He pulls me to the chair as I fall into his lap. He licks his fingers clean then kisses me.
“I guess I’ll have to share you, but only for today,” he says with a pout. I have a feeling our little boy will have the same one.
“Don’t be a grump.” I smack his shoulder.
“You know I don’t like sharing you with other people.”
“Then why do you want to fill me with babies?” I say, laughing.
“That’s different. They’re ours. You and me together. That’s all I want.” His words are hard and sweet at the same time. My eyes water a little.
“Don’t make me cry,” I scold. He had a whole crew here this morning getting me ready for the baby shower.
He kisses me again. “Let’s go before one of our mothers busts in here.”
My face reddens at the idea, and Dane smiles, wiggling his eyebrows. He lifts me from his lap and puts me on my feet. He takes my hand in his, entwining our fingers.
“Can we make this party short?” he asks, and I smack his shoulder.
“We’ll stay for however long our moms want.” He pulls me toward him and leans down to press his lips to mine. He kisses me so deeply that I get lost in it. He always has a way of making me forget time and place when it comes to the two of us.
“Sweetheart.” The word is low and drawn out. “Just know when this is over today, you’re mine,” he growls.
“I’ve always been yours,” I remind him. Because it’s true. It wasn’t until him that my body came alive. He owns me and I love it because I know he’ll take care of me and cherish me. He’s my everything. I once thought my life would never be okay, but I’m thankful for the path that led me to Dane. He’s the sweetest, most caring man I’ve ever met.
He pulls me from the bedroom and I come up short when I see the hallway. It’s lined with pictures of the two of us on our trips together. When I walk a little farther, I see that he has also hung sonograms of our babies.
“You…” I trail off.
“You said the house is too beige.”
“Is there anything you wouldn’t do for me?”
“No,” he says instantly.
I kiss him. He’s more perfect than I could have ever imagined.
“Put me down. You’re not carrying me into my baby shower.”
He grunts and reluctantly puts me on my feet. When I walk into the living room and see almost fifty people, I turn to look at Dane, who just shrugs in return. I don’t even know half of these people.
“Go with it,” he says into my ear. “Our moms look so happy.” My eyes find them and I see he’s right. I didn’t know life could be so good. Even more, I didn’t know a man could make it so.
I turn, enveloping him in my arms, not caring who can see. “I love you,” I tell him solemnly.
“I love you more,” he replies and kisses me so sweetly I lose my breath.
Epilogue
Willow
4 years later…
I look over everything laid out on the table. There is so much stuff I don’t even know where to begin. I shake my head, not the least bit shocked. I wanted to go baby shopping myself, but it seems that a whole baby store has been dropped into my house. My man doesn’t like me leaving the house when I’m pregnant. He’s always afraid I’ll overdo it or something will happen to me. But the way he keeps knocking me up, this is pretty much how he is all of the time.
