When our panting eased, Will rolled onto his back and pulled me close. Cuddling against his chest, I murmured, “If I wasn’t already pregnant, I would be now.”
“We had a lot to celebrate.” His hand drifted up and down my back. “Plus, it’s not like we need to quit practicing just because you’re pregnant.”
“Good point. We can keep practicing for next time.” I tilted my head back and grinned up at him. “I do have three siblings, after all.”
Epilogue
Will
A knock on my office door elicited a snarl from my chest as I tore my lips away from my wife and shouted, “Go away!”
Aurora giggled and shifted in my lap, leaning back when I attempted to go back to kissing her. “That’s not very professional.”
“Who the hell cares?” I captured her mouth once again before being interrupted by another knock. Frowning, I glared at the door, willing the ground to open up and swallow the person outside.
“Will, your next appointment is here,” Chad said with a sigh.
“I don’t have any more appointments today,” I snapped.
Chad sighed again, long and loud, making sure it was very clear how annoyed he was. “I added it to your schedule last night. And if you would have put your…long lunch, on the calendar, I wouldn’t have booked it at one o’clock.”
Aurora yelped and jumped up; dancing away before I could get a grip on her waist and pull her back down. “Baby, get your sexy little ass back here,” I growled.
She shook her head as she slipped on her shoes and rebuttoned her blouse. “I’ve got a wedding in an hour, Will.” My lips turned down in a pout, making her laugh. “I’ll make it up to you tonight.” I perked up at her promise, which prompted her to throw back her head and belly laugh. Then she darted over for a quick kiss before sashaying to the door and swinging it open.
Chad was waiting in the hall with his hands on his hips and a mulish expression on his face. But when he spotted Aurora, he blushed and stammered out a soft hello. I rolled my eyes at how he practically turned into an adolescent schoolboy around my wife. It was harmless, but the best way to break him out of the daze was to give him shit about it. “Put your tongue back in your mouth and stop staring at my wife, Chad.”
His gaze jumped to me, and he glared before spinning around and huffing off, muttering something about unappreciative assholes.
Aurora giggled behind her hand, not wanting Chad to hear and have his feelings hurt. She was much sweeter than me. I didn’t give a fuck and laughed right out loud. She shook her head but blew me a kiss before sailing out of my office.
Barely two minutes later, a short, curvy woman with tan skin, almond-shaped brown eyes, and long curly, black hair stepped into my office. Her expression was a mixture of shellshock and steady determination.
“How can I help you, Miss…?” I let the question hang and gestured toward one of the chairs in front of my desk.
She moved forward and sunk down onto one. “Addilyn Cole—”
“Dawson. Addilyn Dawson.” Knox’s deep voice interrupted her as he barreled into my office. His expression was thunderous, and when he looked at me, his eyes held a warning and threat of murder.
A lesser man might have shrunk back in fear, but I wasn’t afraid of Knox’s bluster. A smirk formed on my lips. Oh, this was going to be good.
“I need an annulment,” Addilyn announced, staring straight at me and ignoring Knox altogether.
“Over my dead body, baby,” Knox growled.
“Damn, how the tables have turned…” I drawled, my smirk now a full-blown grin.
Knox had shifted his focus to the woman who was apparently his wife. When he heard me, however, I was once again being silently threatened with manslaughter. “Shut the fuck up, Will,” he snarled. Then he stomped over to Addilyn and scooped her up into his arms. “We won’t be needing your services.” He marched out of the room carrying a flailing, objecting woman. She punched him in the shoulder but ended up yelping and cradling her hand against her chest. “Put me down, you big brute!”
Once he was gone, I was surprised to see Aurora rush back into my office with an incredulous expression on her beautiful face. “Did I just see what I think I did?” she asked before dissolving into laughter.
“Looks like your brother has fallen victim to what he called, ‘love at first sight bullshit.’ And she seems like a feisty one.” I rubbed my hands together with glee. “I think we should get some popcorn for this.”
Aurora laughed and shook her head with an exasperated smile directed at me. “You should have more sympathy. You’ve been there.”
I shot off a quick text, then stood and prowled over to my wife. “And, that’s exactly why I’m going to enjoy this. Watching him chase her. Seeing him taken down by that tiny slip of a woman.” She harrumphed as I circled my arms around her. “But then, they’ll work things out and find the same bliss I’ve found with you.”
