I was proud of myself for putting what I wanted ahead of my job. But it wouldn’t become a normal thing. I couldn’t afford to be taking days off and having fun. I needed to focus on this case and build my career at the firm. I couldn’t do that hanging out at libraries while I watched a hot firefighter read to kids. No matter how freaking much it turned me on.
“We’re here!” Finn called out with excitement.
After parking his car, he insisted I let him open the car door for me. It was sweet and not something I was used to. As we walked up to the hospital my heart started beating faster and harder.
The closer we got to the maternity floor, the more panic set in.
The elevator doors closed, and Finn pinned me up against the wall. His lips pressed to mine. I instinctively moaned into his mouth as he kissed me like I’d never been kissed before.
He stepped back when the elevator came to a stop and the doors opened. Reaching for my hand, he gave me a slight tug to snap me out of my daze.
My lips tingled. My body was on fire. I’d never in my life had a man kiss me like that before. It was almost like he was afraid it would be our last one.
“Ready?” he asked with the cutest smile on his face. You could see how excited he was, and that melted my heart on the spot.
Quickly nodding, I replied, “I think so.”
With my hand in his, we walked toward the waiting room.
It was empty.
I silently said a prayer of thanks.
“Finn!”
We both spun around, and my jaw dropped to the ground. The guy walking toward us looked almost exactly like Finn.
“Preston, how is she?”
Preston glanced over to me and shot me a megawatt grin. “Excuse my rude brother. Preston Ward.”
“Rory Adams. Pleasure to meet you.”
You could see the happiness on Preston’s face. “Come on, Harmony is dying to meet
you.”
My face fell. “What? Right now? She’s in labor!”
Preston laughed. “It’s not every day Finn has a girl on his arm. Harmony’s been sending me out here looking for you guys.”
He motioned for us to follow him, and we did. When he opened the door, Preston almost hit the nurse with it.
“Mr. Ward, we were just coming for you.”
My eyes scanned the room and landed on a beautiful young woman with blond hair. She was breathing heavily but wore a huge smile. Her hair was pulled up in a slobby bun that bounced around as she let out a small yelp.
“Oh. My. Goodness! You’re beautiful!” she said, pointing to me.
My face instantly warmed as Finn pushed me farther into the room. “She doesn’t bite,” he whispered.
Too fast.
Holy mother of angelic hosts…I’m meeting the in-labor sister-in-law.
Harmony reached her hand out for me, and I quickly walked up and took it. “Rory, is it?”
I nodded. “Yes. It’s a pleasure meeting you and my goodness…congratulations on the um…well for being…ahh…your baby! How exciting.”
