She looks worried, so I hold her tighter. “Hey, crazy is awesome. Keeps us on our toes. Don’t worry.”
Her eyes start to fill with tears and I lift her off the ground, pressing my nose to hers. “Avery.”
Her eyes look wild as she shakes her head, her heart beating hard against mine. “No, really, it’s just we didn’t think about this, and your family could freak. Hate me. What if I lose the baby? What if you don’t get into the NHL? And we’re broke? Oh Jesus, what did we do?”
This girl, man.
Jesus.
Putting her on her feet, I take her face in my hands, leaning my head to hers and pressing my nose into hers. “Avery, do you love me?”
Her lips tremble as she gasps for breath, her face pale with sweat beading along her collarbone. “Yes.”
“Then we’re good.”
“Jace,” she says solemnly. “We can’t live on love. We can’t feed a baby on love.”
I smile. “Yes, we can. ’Cause that love will fuel me to do everything I can to support you and our child. That is my main concern: you and this baby. You have nothing to worry about, Avery Rose Sinclair. I g
ot you.” Her tears roll down, falling over my hands, and I smile. “Your heart is jackhammering. Calm down.”
She slowly nods, her bottom lip trembling as she searches my eyes. “You cocky bastard,” she breathes with a grin and I smile.
“Damn right,” I say with a wink. “We are gonna be okay. Great, even. Trust and believe that, okay?”
“Okay,” she whispers.
“Depend on me. I got you.”
I feel her heart slow, her eyes drying as she nods. Reaching up, she holds my face, running her thumbs along my cheeks as she searches my eyes. “I love you so much, Jace. So damn much.”
I grin. “Awesome, ’cause I love you more than that and then some.”
Her lips curve as she shakes her head. “Nope. Not even close,” she says with a wink and then my mouth crashes into hers to show her she’s wrong. That I will forever love her more than she can even comprehend. Holding her tightly, I swear our kiss feels a billion times more intense than ever before. As our mouths move together in such a perfect way, it feels all-consuming, right. The thought that this is how our kisses will be for the rest of my life is just… It’s just fucking amazing.
This girl is my life.
I pull away and see she has her eyes closed as she leans her forehead to my lips and sucks in a deep breath. When she starts to laugh, I squeeze her, moving her face up with my chin as she laughs harder. Meeting my gaze, she shakes her head. “What?” I ask and she giggles harder.
“A month ago, you thought you were a player.”
I glare. “I was.”
She scoffs. “Please, you fell harder than a bag of pucks for me, and now look at us. Married less than two months later.”
“With a baby. Don’t forget that,” I say with a wink and she shakes her head, her eyes wide and her lips curving.
“Did you think this would happen?”
I smile, holding her face in my hands. “Now, no. But one day, yeah.”
“Really?”
“Hey, I know what I want and you are it.”
Holding my gaze, she covers my hands with hers and sighs. “It must be great to be you.”
Leaning down, I press my nose to hers. “It is now.”
