“My dad always wanted a boy.”
I nodded, continuing, “I wanted to talk to Evie and tell her that you knew the truth about your father, and I was going to tell you everything when I got home after this game.”
“I feel so stupid. I can’t believe I thought you cheated on me.”
I swept the hair away from her face. “I don’t blame you. My reputation speaks for itself.”
“That doesn’t change the fact that I should have trusted you. We wouldn’t have lost all these years if I had.”
“It doesn’t matter anymore. We’re here now, and all I want is a future with you and Ben. I want the life I always dreamed of having with you.”
“Really? You dreamt about that before you moved to Miami or after?”
I didn’t hold back, professing my last truth…
“That night before my dad called, I was going to tell you I loved you and ask you to marry me, Sophie.”
“What? Is that why you were so calm and nonchalant about moving? I thought you just didn’t care we weren’t going to see each other every day anymore.”
“It was the only way I could leave you, knowing you were going to be my wife.”
“I’m speechless.”
I grabbed her hand. “The ring you’re wearing, I bought it for you then.”
“Jax,” she breathed out, shaking her head. “This ring is extravagant. How did you afford it?”
“The trust fund my grandfather left me before he passed away. I couldn’t touch it until I was twenty-one. He was my mom’s dad, and he fucking hated my father. I think he knew I’d eventually want to cut ties with my old man, and he was helping me in the only way he could. My mom kept the trust from my father. He didn’t know about it.”
“I feel like my head is spinning.”
“I know. I can’t tell you how relieved I was last night when you told me about your dad. Finally, I could tell you the truth. I’d been wanting to for the last thirteen years. But I want you to know that I laid awake every night missing you. There was this huge hole in my heart where you used to be.” I grabbed the sides of her face, and she leaned into my embrace.
“You’re my Baby Soph.”
Her mouth parted, and I glided my thumb across her bottom lip. “I’m so sorry for everything I put you through. All the tears, the pain, breaking your heart, walking away. I should have fought for you. It will forever be one of my biggest regrets. I’m so fucking sorry for everything.”
She slid her arms around my neck. “I’m sorry too, Jax. For everything. We’ve both made mistakes, but in the end, we’re here now.”
With my hands framing her face, I kissed her slowly, softly, desperate to make her feel my remorse for the past I couldn’t change.
In between kissing, I rasped, “Let’s make a baby.”
She smiled against my mouth as I placed her on my lap. Gripping onto her ass, I stood and wrapped her legs around my waist. Kissing her deeper, I carried her onto the bed, laying her down before I placed my body on top of hers.
Our hands started to roam everywhere, trying to decide where we wanted to touch each other the most. When her hand found my cock, she moaned.
“Fuck,” I growled, scooting her up toward the headboard as she stroked me up and down, her hand barely closing around my shaft. In seconds, I had her naked. My mouth instantly sucked on her nipples.
“Don’t stop,” she murmured, pulling down my jeans and briefs. I helped her, kicking them off, and then took off my shirt.
My hand found her pussy. “You’re so wet.”
Her hips moved against my fingers. Kissing along her jawline, I took in the blush of her face, the moans descending from her lips, every movement burning through her body.
“Tell me…” I bit her bottom lip. “Tell me what I want to hear.”
She peered deep into my eyes, breathing out, “I love you. I never stopped, and I never will.”
