There was a sudden bark.
“What’s that noise?” Drago asked.
She took his hand. “Follow me.”
He followed her lead, and much to his surprise, there in the sitting room, on a small pillow, was Kevin.
“I adopted him for you,” Selma said. “I think he’s been waiting for you.”
And if on cue, Kevin jumped off the pillow and walked up to him, wagging his tail, and then lifting up.
“I think he wants to be picked up.”
Drago bent down and lifted Kevin into his arms. No one had ever gotten him a present before. He held the dog close to his chest and then turned toward his wife, his woman.
“I love you,” he said.
Her lips fell open, and he gripped the back of her neck, tugged her close, and slammed his lips down on hers.
Kevin nestled into his arm. The little doggy was so small, and Drago loved him as well.
“I love you, Selma.” He broke the kiss and looked into her eyes, to see the tears falling down her cheeks. “You’re crying. You don’t want me to love you?”
She pressed a hand to his chest. “Yes, I want you to love me. I just … after what he did, and everything he has done that you know of, how can you love me?”
“You and him are two different people.” He pressed his forehead to hers. “I have loved you from the moment I saw you at that party a year ago.”
“You have?” she asked.
“Yes. I had no idea how I could get you, how I could make you mine, and that’s what I wanted. For you to be mine, always.”
“I am yours. I thought about you as well. You just seemed to disappear, and I wanted to talk to you as well. To know your name and who you were.”
He looked down at Kevin and then toward his wife.
“I guess all of this worked out in the end, didn’t it.”
Selma smiled at him. “Yeah, it did, and there is one other thing I have to tell you.” She pulled away from him and went toward the far table. He watched as she picked something up and then approached him. “I don’t know how to say this, but I’m just going to blurt it out. We’re pregnant.”
Drago put Kevin down on the floor, and he saw out of the corner of his eye as his little doggy went straight to his bed. He was already well-trained. Now, he could hold his wife with both hands.
He cupped her cheeks, closed the small distance between them, and kissed her properly. This time, he put all his need, his possession, his love, and even his obsession into the kiss, loving her, wanting her, and showing her exactly what he’d been wanting for a long time.
She moaned, and he growled against her lips.
“You’re not mad?”
“Hell, no.”
“Sad.”
“Baby, I’ve been wanting you pregnant from the moment we started this, and that hasn’t changed. I still do want you pregnant.”
And with that, he kissed her again and pulled her into his arms. Running his hand down her back, he went toward her ass, but when he had other plans in mind, there was a sudden bark of a little guy demanding attention.
“Cock blocked already,” Drago said.
Selma burst out laughing. “Well, at least it will be good practice for when our little angel comes.”
She put her hand on her stomach, and Drago couldn’t help but reach out and place his hand across her stomach as well.
“Angel or devil, it doesn’t matter, sweetheart, we’ll love you no matter.” He had crouched down to speak to her stomach.
Selma chuckled but Kevin had already run toward the door.
“I think someone needs the toilet,” Selma said.
“I’ll deal with this, but you, get to our bedroom, and that’s where you’re going to stay from now on. Get naked and wait for me.”
Drago didn’t know how he had gotten so freaking lucky.
Epilogue
Five Years Later
Selma checked to make sure everything was in place. She had been planning this surprise birthday party for Drago for over a month.
Five years of marriage and Selma had come to learn a great deal about her husband. Like the fact that until he had met her, he never celebrated his birthday. No one knew the day he was born, so they celebrated the day he was found. Every year, she tried to do something magical for him.
The first year, unbeknownst to her, the day she brought home Kevin and declared her love for him, was in fact his birthday. That day, she kept the date saved. The following year, discovering he’d never had a cake, or blown out candles, she made sure to make him a cake. That had been a little more difficult because she also hadn’t known if he was a fruit, vanilla, or chocolate cake kind of guy.
He’d been a chocolate guy, with extra frosting, and that had to be fudgy as well. Drago had loved the birthday cake, and he had even wiped frosting on her body late that night and licked it right off. It had been a magical night. This had all happened after they put their son, Sean, to bed.
