“You’re him, right?”

Carter smiled. “Depends who ‘him’ is.”

“You’re on the Wolves team.”

“Yeah, that’s me.”

“I told you, fuckers,” Torch yelled across the room before he up and left again.

Shock had my brows shooting high. “You play?”

“I do.”

“How’d I not know this?” I commented. “What about you?” I asked Calvin.

“Sports isn’t my thing. I’m studying to become a defense attorney in family law.”

“That’s a good job,” I said, and Calvin shrugged. “What about Casper?”

The siblings shared a look. Courtney shifted on my lap and told me, “He’s in between jobs at the moment, but he’d like to get into acting.”

“Good-lookin’ kid, I’m sure he’d get somethin’,” Death said just as Stracy and Casper arrived back at the table.

Stracy had Casper sit down while he looked up at her with stars in his eyes. Stracy winked. “I’ll come find you soon.”

He grinned. “Looking forward to it.” His gaze stayed glued to her ass as she walked away. He whistled low. “You guys must go through a ton of condoms.”

Chuckling, I shrugged and received a death stare from Courtney. I cupped the side of her face and kissed her soundly. Against her lips, I said, “Never had a taste for club pussy, little mouse. And now you’re the only one I want and need.”

She drew in a slow, shaky breath. “Good answer.”

She turned back to the table and leaned forward for a drink just as Casper said, “And tampons, if they all live here.”

I felt her still on my lap. I ignored what they were talking about and ran my hand up her back. “You good, little mouse?”

She stood up, her eyes wide as she backed up a step.

Worry seared into my gut. “Court?” I straightened up out of the chair.

“I… I don’t know how…. I’m sorry.”

“Sorry? For what?”

She got close and leaned into me as she went onto her tiptoes and whispered into my ear, “I haven’t got my period, Dom.”

I turned to stone, and she went back down onto her feet, looking up at me, worrying her bottom lip with her teeth.

My heart doubled its beat as I looked down at her stomach.

She was carrying my baby.

I didn’t know how since we’d used rubbers, but fuck, it was meant to be.

All along we were always meant to be.

I was going to be a father.

Lifting my gaze to her face, I realized I’d taken too long for it to sink in. Tears filled her eyes, her shoulder slumping as she took another step back.
