“Ah woman, you’re killing me…” he breathed.

In one swift move he clasped her wrist and wrapped another hand on her waist, flipping her over onto her back. A breathless squeal escaped her lips as he slid between her legs.

“This,” he grunted, sliding deep inside her, “is everything.”

“Yes, fuck me,” she cried breathlessly. “Harder.”

Kade increased the pace, sliding in and out of her tight pussy. He groaned, her fingernails stabbing into his back as she wrapped her legs around his waist. His fangs dropped as she bit at his shoulder.

“Yes, fuck me now,” she demanded. “Don’t stop.”

The sound of flesh meeting flesh sounded as he slammed into her, his orgasm on the precipice. The deep craving for his woman drove his thirst, his fangs scraping over her shoulder.

“Please, yes.” Breathless she repeated his name.

“Sydney…aw fuck, yes.” With a slow deliberate thrust, Kade filled her, his fangs slicing deep into her flesh. Blood flowed down his throat, her pussy pulsating around his cock.

“Kade,” she screamed. As her orgasm rolled through her, she bit down onto his shoulder. She shook beneath him in ecstasy as he came hard, still pumping inside her.

He claimed her mouth, and she kissed him back with fervor. Love surrounded each tender touch. Kade gently removed himself from her and rolled onto his back. As they broke their kiss, she molded her body to his, her leg wrapped over his legs.

“I love you, baby,” she whispered.

“I love you, too.” Kade held her, love blooming in his chest. He’d do anything to protect her, his family. Nothing would ever tear them apart.

“Who’s daddy’s boy?” Daddy. Kade smiled as tiny fingers wrapped around his pinky. “We’re going to play ball. Baseball. Soccer. And of course, football.”

Zach squealed in delight as Kade picked him up and gave him a little bounce.

“That’s right. Who dat! We’re goin’ to go see the Saints play.” He laughed, suspecting the lad would catch way better than he ever did. “Can you keep a secret? I know you can. You’ve been a very good boy. Santa is bringing you and mommy surprises this year.”

Kade blew a raspberry and the child erupted in laughter. His heart caught as Zach reached for his chin. “Ah, my little pup. I know you’re an Alpha through and through. And even though I’m vampire, I’m going to raise you to be the best Alpha. You see, I’ve got some very good friends who are wolves. My friend Logan. I’m going to do my very best to convince him to let you stay with us.”

The baby whimpered as his binky fell out of his mouth, his daddy catching it midair. A broad smile broke across his face as Kade gave it back to him.

“You know what I think? Some things are just meant to be. Destiny has brought us together when we need each other the most. And when we went against fate, the Goddess brought us back together again. Just in time. You needed us. And we needed you. Your momma.” Sydney. “She loves you so much. And I love you too. It’s going to be the best Christmas ever. I promise.”

Kade moved toward the antique rocking chair that Samantha and Luca had gifted them, a felted fleece covering its seat. Three fluffy lambs hopped happily along the wall, the nursery exactly how they’d decorated it before they’d been forced to return him.

“Ah, ah, ah…” The babe’s eyes widened as he saw the bottle waiting for him on the end table.

“Who is hungry? You want your bah-bah?” Kade inwardly laughed. His formality had been lost into the world of kids. He’d happily transitioned from ballrooms and bottles of champagne to babies and bottles of formula.

Kade eased into the chair, reached for the bottle and gave it a shake. “Ah, yes. It’s a very fine year. Only the best for my gentleman.”

“Ah, ah, ah…” Tiny hands clamped around the bottle as Kade guided it into his mouth.

Kade’s mind churned as the baby happily drank. Both the birth mother and father were now dead. But if Zachery had any relatives, it was possible they could claim him. Kade planned to talk to Logan as soon as possible. Given what had happened to the child in the alley, he prayed the Alpha would agree.

Zachery abruptly spit out the bottle, shaking Kade from his thoughts. He leaned the baby upward, patting gently on his back until a loud burb erupted.

Kade’s chest tightened as he patted his lips dry with a bib. Love for his son bursting in his chest, he smiled broadly. I’m not giving you up.

“Da, da, da, da.”

“Wha…?” Excitement shot through him as Zachery’s chant grew louder.

“Da, da, da.”
