“Wait, how’d he call you if he can’t move?”
“That’s the best part. He had to ask his Alexa to call me.”
“Oh man. I kinda feel bad for him. How humiliating.”
“Yeah, considering he’s buck ass naked.” Ethan grabs his keys, then leans down for a kiss. “I’ll bring breakfast up when I’m back. Love you.”
“Love you too. Be nice to him…” I warn.
He shoots me a wicked grin. “We’ll see.”
Epilogue
ETHAN
FIVE MONTHS LATER
“Go harder,” Harper begs as she’s bent over in front of me. At nine months pregnant, we’ve had to come up with different and safer positions. I’m still nervous about hurting her or the baby, so she often has to reassure me I won’t. “It’s okay, babe. It feels amazing,” she adds as I hesitate.
At her request, I open her ass cheeks wider and thrust with power. She cries out, fisting the covers as she keeps her hips up. It’s the only way not to put pressure on her belly but gives me perfect access to her pussy. I wrap an arm around her waist and thumb her clit. She nearly shoots off the bed, but I hold her in place with my other hand.
Since we have to be out of the house in a half hour, it has to be a quickie. Something we’ve become accustomed to between our work schedules and getting ready for the baby. However, since her doctor suggested sex as a way to induce labor, she’s been using me for her own personal sex machine.
Not that I’m complaining.
“Jesus. You’re cl—” Before I can even finish the words, she’s squirting on my cock and writhing underneath me. I hold her up as she shakes and squirms. “Fuck yes, love. That’s my girl.”
I wait until she catches her breath to finish. Squeezing her hips, I continue thrusting until my body unravels and I fill her sweet pussy.
“If that doesn’t get this baby out, I’m reaching in and yanking him out.” She rolls over before collapsing on the bed.
I kneel between her legs and lean down to kiss her. “He will come when he’s ready.”
She scowls. “What about when I’m ready? I’m hot, fat, and miserable. Plus, I wanna hold him already.”
“You’re beautiful and sexy as sin. But if we’re gonna make this event, we gotta get ready to go soon.” I hold out my hand and help her up.
“I’m excited.” She smiles. “Should be fun to see all the bachelors get bid on.”
I snort, walking around to find my clothes and a towel. “I doubt they feel the same.”
She shrugs, taking the towel from me. “Maybe Kenzie will finally bid on Grayson this year.”
“Hmm, I don’t know. After the way she tied him up and left him, he’s pretty bitter,” I say.
“That was months ago, though,” I point out. Granted, I’m not around them that much anymore, so they might still be fighting.
“Doesn’t matter. They’ve been in a war for ages,” I explain.
“True, but who knows. There’s not much to pick from. Most are ranch hands or her cousins.”
“Is Hadleigh coming?”
“Yep, she and Ivy,” she tells me.
“Think she’ll bid on one of the twins?” I ask with amusement.
“No idea. She couldn’t get off work the past couple of years for the auction, so who knows. Kaitlyn said she wanted to bid, but of course her brothers forbade it.”
Chuckling, I finish getting dressed and put on my bracelet and watch. “Of course they did, but that don't mean shit. She’s old enough to make her own decisions.”
“She’ll always be the baby of the family, though. She hates it.” Harper grins. “I think that’s why she likes Ivy being around. Doesn’t make her feel like the youngest anymore.”
Harper stands by me once she’s in her cute sundress. I look down and put my hand on her bump. “I love that our kid is gonna grow up on the ranch with a bunch of cousins and family around.”
She covers my hand with hers. “Me too.”
“Can’t wait for the house to be finished so we can move in. Hell, all the baby furniture is already taking over.” I glance around at the small space.
“Me too! Only a few more weeks and it’ll be ready. The cabin’s cute and cozy for now,” she reminds me, and I think I’m more anxious than she is.
I wrap her in my arms and kiss her forehead. “Especially if we’re going to try for number two right away.”
“Whoa, Cowboy. Calm down. Let me get through one labor first.”
“Hey, you’re the one who kissed me first when we became official. You wanted me,” I gloat, waggling my brows.
She groans, shaking her head. “You’re full of yourself.”
“Hey, kissing me is what got us here so…”
“Mm-hmm. Not just kissing.”
I chuckle. “So, hypothetically, if you get pregnant with twins next, we’d end up with three. That means we’d have to try for a fourth to keep it even.”
