My eyes cloud over as I hug her back, her words meaning more than she could ever imagine. We stand there, in a tight embrace, for countless moments. I peel my watering eyes open and find Logan standing just behind his mom, his own eyes glossed over as he takes us in.
“I love you so much,” he mouths. My responding smile is so wide my cheeks burn.
Pulling away, Dolores pats my arms. “And I don’t care if you curse, Sweetheart. I just like to fuck with the boys.” Logan’s mouth drops open in shock, having heard his mom’s secretive declaration. This time, I can’t hold in my laugh.
“Dinner is served,” Stephen calls, settling the huge turkey in the center of the table. My eyes grow impossibly large as my mouth begins to water. My stomach gives a responding,loudgrowl.
Logan grins, closing the distance between us. He wraps his arms around me from behind, holding me tightly against his chest. “I love you more,” I sigh, finally finding my voice. Tilting my head back to look up at him, I mouth, “Baby Daddy.”
He chuckles, pressing his mouth to mine for a quick, passionate kiss. When he releases me, I’m a little breathless and woozy. Looking back at the dining table, I find it surrounded by people. Excitement fills me when I realize Dom is here. He smiles softly, tipping his shoulders. Stephen leans in, murmuring something quietly in his ear. His cheeks turn an impressive shade of pink in response. Stephen stifles a laugh, pressing a kiss to Dom’s cheek.
My eyes dart around the table, looking for any sign of disapproval. Though I can’t imagine Logan’s family being anything but supportive of their sons, I still don’t understand why Stephen holds back with Dom. I find nothing but happiness from the remaining Huxley members as they laugh and chat with each other.
My heart fills full to bursting.
This.Thisis family.
Logan’s hand slides into my pocket slowly, retrieving my engagement ring. “I thought we were waiting till dessert,” I murmur. His beard brushes against my cheek with the shake of his head.
“Can’t wait any longer,” he grunts. Ah. My caveman is back. We both watch as he slides the ring onto my finger. My heartbeat pounds in response. God, my love for this man is insane. Completely and utterly insane.
Logan bundles me in his arms once more, my back to his big, strong chest. He kisses the top of my head, inhaling deeply.“Cupcakes,”he sighs, a sound full of happy contentment. Clearing his throat, he calls out, “We have an announcement—”
And just like that, I know…
Logan Huxley isn’t just my future, he’s my forever.
Epilogue 2
Christmas
“Babydoll,”Imurmur.“It’stime to wake up. We have to get going soon, and you need to eat first.” She grunts, letting out a sound that is zero percent seductress and one hundred percent angry cave beast.
Rolling onto her side, she digs her face into the mound of pillows that was once our bed. “No.” That’s it. Just one, pissed off, barked word. That’s all I get from my fiancé. Yes, fiancé. Because sherefusesto marry me while she’spuffy. What the fuck is puffy, you might ask?
Well. Let me tell you. I have no fucking idea.
None.
She looks the same as before. No. Correction. She looks better than before if that’s even possible. I don’t know if it’s just the fact that I’m aware my baby is growing in her belly. That my seed is so potent, it took that very first week we slept together, despite her years of struggles, before me. Knowing that my seed is far more virile than the average man.
Than her ex’s. I grin at the thought.
My sperm is spectacular. Strong, brave, potent. It broke through whatever situation she’s got going on inside and planted its way deep in her womb. It’s so fucking spectacular that I did in less than a week what that stupid piece of shit couldn’t do in ten years.
Knocked her up real fucking good.
She doesn’t understand it at all. She tries to wrap her perfect, pretty head around how it’s possible that it happened so quickly. I remind her again and again that it happened exactly how it was meant to. My heart breaks for what my woman’s been through and for her loss, but I fully believe that everything happens for a reason. Things with her ex were shitty from the beginning, and it only got worse as they progressed. A baby can’t fix a broken marriage.
“Come on, Babydoll. Don’t you want to see our little one today?” I coo, reminding her that our first ultrasound is this morning. I was able to get the doctor to see us, despite it being two days from Christmas. I couldn’t wait any longer. Neither of us could. “You can’t see him if you don’t get up.”
“You don’t know it’s a him,” she murmurs, rubbing her face in my pillow like a wolf marking its territory. I smile. I love her.
“Sure, I do,” I grunt, yanking the blanket from her lush, naked curves. My cock instantly hardens at the sight. I’ll never get tired of my naked-in-bed rule. Never. “Come on. Your blueberry pancakes are getting cold.” I grab her hip and roll her onto her back. She resists, refusing to look at me. My brows furrow. “Baby, what’s wrong?”
When she still refuses to move, I crawl over the bed and straddle her thick thighs. My cock is leaking in my sweats, but I ignore the fucker so I can focus on my woman. When I finally dig her face from the mound of fluff, I find her cheeks pink and tearstained. She sniffles, avoiding my eyes. I grip her cheeks, forcing her to look at me. Her face crumbles, along with my heart.
“Shiloh,” I whisper, my voice cracking. The power this woman has over me is mind-boggling. “Talk to me.”
