“We’re bringing you into a beautiful world full of love,” I whisper to my belly, then press my hand over it.Is that a flutter?Probably not. It’s probably too soon, but I imagine I feel the baby.
I never thought I would ever… feel such peace and contentment, such love. “Your fathers are going to love you unconditionally.” I look down at the hand on my belly then out the window. The sky is so blue I think it must be painted and the trees are waving in a breeze that blows across the grasses and the flowers, too. We have so much to be thankful for. So much to love. “They’re good and kind and brave. Heroes, every one of them.”
“Yeah, we are.” Phantom’s arms slip around me from behind, and I jump a little, surprised, but then lean into him. He’s warm and solid.
I turn in his arms to face him because I want to touch him, look at him, feel the solidity that is him. When he smiles down at me, his pec muscle twitches and I trace the silver scar just over his heart.
Our kiss is slow and sweet, sensuous.
“I think of them often, my people.” I know. Sometimes, I see him staring, thinking, knowing he’s torn between this life and that. “I know Shenra will be a good queen, that they’ll follow her, and that she’ll take care of them. But I still can’t help wondering about them.”
I nod. There’s no doubt in my mind that Shenra is a woman of power, but that she’ll wield it with mercy and grace. As hard as it is for my men not to be there to help, it was the right decision, for everyone.
He nuzzles my neck and kisses my throat. “You’ve saved me in every way I could’ve been saved.”
I smile. He says this sometimes. Gets caught in the past. But I imagine it’ll take some time for all of us to come to peace with what happened.
“I would’ve died without you,” I tell him, trying to ease his pain. I could never live without them. Not then. Not now. “I love you.”
From the bed, Rayne shifts, and I can see him over Phantom’s shoulder, grinning. “What about me?” His voice is the husky rasp that I’ve always loved, and I still do.
Phantom lets me go, but I take his hand. Grinning at him, I pull him toward the bed so I can touch both of them at the same time. I’m spoiled like that, but luckily, none of them mind. “Oh, I love you, too. Don’t ever doubt that.”
These are the men I am never going to get enough of, never see enough of, never touch enough. That’s just our kind of love. Fated. Meant to be. All the things that little girls dream of and more.
Rayne kisses the side of my throat as Onyx wakes again and lays his hand on my shoulder, squeezes gently and pulls me backward. Then Dusk is there, his hand on my belly too.
“Everything okay with the baby,” Dusk grumbles.
Onyx smiles, he does that a lot now as he gives me a knowing look. Yes, my men are always worried about me in the baby. Even when half-asleep.
And then I can’t help but laugh. I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but for every challenge I’ve faced, every hardship, it was all worth it if it led me to them.
