“Liar.” He gives me one of his smiles nobody else gets to see, and no matter how many times I see it, it makes my insides melt.
“I didn’t want to make it easy on you. A chase is good for a man every now and then.”
“And I chased you everywhere.”
I throw my head back and laugh harder because he did. He might have stomped around while he did it, but once I pulled that thorn out of his paw his whole attitude changed. With no more walls between us we were free to have what we wanted so badly. Each other. As different as we can be at times, it’s those differences that make us whole. It’s why we fit together so perfectly.
I think it was shocking because Xander was rough around the edges in general, but with me, my husband is pure sweetness. He gives his brothers a run for their money in their silent competition as to who’s the better husband. They all win because each one of us needs something different and each of us gets those things from our husbands.
“No more chasing.” I pull him down for another kiss. “At least for today. I’ve gotta keep my husband on his toes.” I wiggle my eyebrows at him.
“You don’t need to be running anywhere.” He rubs his hand over my small stomach. “Were you in here trying to get a peek at the sex of the babies?”
I give him a look because that’s something he’d do, but he’s not carrying the babies around so he can’t go sneaking a sonogram without me. I made sure Doctor Jane has my file sealed up tight. She came to the island with her husband to enjoy the beach and help oversee me giving birth.
“Do you really want to know?” I’ll open the file and find out if he wants, but I thought it would be fun to have a surprise.
“No. What I want is to take my wife home and make love to her and cook her pancakes.”
“That sounds perfect,” I admit. His face grows serious for a moment.
“Are we really good?” he asks before I start to slip off the counter.
“I’ll always stand with you, Xander. You did what you had to do to protect this family. Warsaws stop at nothing to make that happen.” I’m happy to be one of them and I feel as protective over them as they are over me. They’re my family and I’m theirs.
“Doctor Warsaw.” He smirks at me. “I never get tired of calling you that.”
“It never fails to turn you on either.”
“It’s been twenty-four hours and I haven’t gotten to touch my wife. You breathe and I’m turned on.” He lifts me up and into his arms.
“You’re in luck, husband of mine. I think I have a cure for the problem,” I tell him, licking my lips.
“No, you have relief. I can promise you there’s no cure for what I have for you.”
“Then take me home, feed me pancakes, and keep me in bed all day.” I touch my lips to his. “That’s doctor’s orders.”
He shakes his head and laughs as he carries me home.
EPILOGUE
XANDER
Eight Years Later…
“I know you’re trying to get me pregnant again,” Lula says as she leans against the bathroom counter.
“So?” I grab my towel and dry off after my shower and I don’t miss how her eyes follow the water drops down my chest.
“So? The twins are eight this week, Xander. I think if we were going to give them a sibling we should have done it before now.”
“You went off the pill.” I cock my head to the side and raise an eyebrow.
“That’s just because it was messing with me.” She looks down and inspects her fingernails—something she does when she’s trying to lie to me.
“Why was that again? It was giving you pimples?”
“You know women are entitled to look their best. Adult acne is no joke.” She crosses her arms over her chest, pushing up her tits. She’s not wearing a bra under her thin tank top and I can see the color of her nipples. The fact that she’s only got on a tiny little thong doesn’t help either. It’s making my mouth water and my dick ready.
“We’re calling one pimple adult acne?” Again I challenge her but she’s still pretending. “Care to explain why you crawled on top of me last night and rode my cock until I came inside that unprotected pussy?” Her cheeks redden but she shrugs. “You slept like a baby after you got my nut.”
“You were the one sleeping with an erection.” She shrugs. “I didn’t think it should go to waste.”
I hang my towel up and walk slowly over to her. “Any other reason you came in here while I was in the shower wearing just enough to get you in trouble?”
