“You promise you’re OK with this?”
“I promise that I will support you in all the things that make your heart and soul sing.”
“I love you so much.”
“I love you too, baby. I wish you were here so I could hold you.”
“Me too. I need a hug right now.”
“Well, why don’t you go see how much heart Cole Scott has in him? Maybe he’ll give you what I cannot right now.”
“Really?”
I nodded, breathing out. I accepted this a long time ago. Would I likely punch the guy in the face? Probably. But I’d pull the hit a little.
Evan already said he was in. Anson shrugged and said he’d try. With all the horsemen, but Enzo had to leave the mafia. If those conditions were met, we’d accept.
We’d very likely give them shit, though. That couldn’t be helped, especially since they gave Anson so much. Even I had to deal with Cole’s bullshit at the club one night.
Ethan needed to come clean about the kid. Enzo needed to come clean about the skeletons in his closet. And Cole? I think he just went along with everything because he loved his brothers.
I could understand that.
But the way they treated Rosalie wouldn’t fucking happen again on my watch. I’d make that very fucking clear to them too before we made it official.
“Really. Go to him,” I murmured, breathing out and checking to see how I felt about it. Surprisingly, I was OK with it.
“Klaus?”
“Yes, my love?”
“I worry about not having birth control with Cole.”
“I worry too, but it doesn’t matter. We will do whatever you want. If you’re pregnant, we’ll love that baby as we love our Ellis. It’ll just be a little detour.”
“I’d still want to have kids with you and the guys,” she said softly. “That won’t change.”
I smiled. “No worries. I promise. That’s something we can talk about later, OK?”
She nodded. “I love you. So damn much.”
I smiled. “I love you so damn much too.Ich liebe dich.”
She closed her eyes.
“Go to him. We will talk tomorrow.”
“OK. Tomorrow. I love you. Good night.”
“Love you, baby. Good night.”
The call disconnected, and I exhaled.
I checked myself once more. My emotions were the same as always. Nothing but love for my woman.
Everything was good.
