“I don’t know when she’s going next.” A deep pink flushed her cheeks as she held his gaze. “I told her about Sachi, and that I love both of you. You and Sachi.”
Mind—blown. “You love Sachi?”
Light glinted off her hair as she nodded. “I do.”
Holy goddamn, those two words sounded good coming from Leigh’s mouth.
“Lennox is very excited to be part of Sachi’s life, if that’s something you want.”
“I do.” Man, those two words didn’t sound bad from his mouth either.
“I don’t want to tiptoe around when the girls are sleeping or wait until our crazy schedules have tiny blips of time to be together. I want you there, awake, asleep, and all the good stuff in between. Lennox is okay with it. She’ll be home with us. Most of the time, anyway.”
“I don’t want to do anything to make her uncomfortable or upset. Are you sure she’s okay with me spending the night sometimes?”
“If that’s what you want to do, then, yes. But I wasn’t talking about occasional sleepovers. I want you there every night.”
“Every night.”
“Yes,” she said, nodding.
“As in, I’d keep some of our stuff in a drawer?”
“As in, all of your and Sachi’s stuff would be there, taking up as many drawers and spaces as necessary.”
The door chimed as his next training client walked into the club. The guy could wait. No matter how long it took to finish this conversation, he wasn’t walking away from it. Not even for a minute.
“It sounds like you’re suggesting I move into your house.”
“You’re almost right. I’m suggesting you move in and we make it our home.”
Not much left him speechless. “I did not see that coming.”
“I bet. I’m not known for taking impulsive, untested risks.” She tilted her head in that adorable way he loved. “But there’s this super-hot guy who seemed to make a habit of shocking me with big, crazy stuff. I ended up falling in love with him, so I figured I’d try his method. See if it works for me.”
“It’s definitely working for you.” Holding her tighter, he lifted her off the ground, high enough to make her shriek.
No complaint or protest left her mouth. Just the addictive, intoxicating sound of her laughter. Something he’d never get enough of, even if he heard it every day and night. Which he planned to do.
Gently, he returned her to her feet. Slid his hands up her arms, over her shoulders, along the sides of her neck, then cupped her beautiful face in his palms. “Babe, I am big, crazy in love with you. Nothing would make me happier than to share every day and night with you. There’s just one thing I have to disagree with.”
“What thing?”
“It’s not a risk. Impulsive and untested, yes. But not risky. We’re great together. Our family is going to be great together.”
“Do you have statistical calculations to back that up?”
“Don’t need them. I just know.”
“So do I,” she said, looking into his eyes so deeply, she could probably see his heart, which she owned.
A purposeful “ahem” from the sidelines put the kibosh on the kiss he would’ve given her.
“Sugar,” he said, winking.
Her soft laugh against his mouth was a kiss of another kind. “It’s okay, we’ll pick this up later.”
“Tonight. At home.”
