When she nods, I get up from the chair and gesture to her to sit. When she does, her eyes become glassy when I place her sister in her arms. "This is Harley Walker."

My beautiful teenage daughter stares at her baby sister. "Hey, Harley, I'm Samantha, your big sister, and I'm so happy to meet you."

I squat next to the chair and remove a tear from her cheek. "She's adorable," she whispers.

"And this little guy is Axel, your brother," Alisha says, lifting his little hand.

Now Sam bursts into tears. "Thank you for making me part of this family, Dad."

"Oh, honey," I say, placing my hand on her shoulder and kissing her on her forehead. "I love you, Samantha. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way." I take Harley from her, and when Sam stands, Alisha gestures for her to come to her. When she does, my heart fills with many emotions as I catch Alisha's words. "You're our daughter, Sam; we love you and always will."

It's at this moment I realize how much my life has changed. More than a year ago, I was a grumpy bachelor who wanted an organized, calm life so I could control my tortuous demons. But life had other plans and placed two human angels on my path who forever disrupted my well-organized life in the best way.

I glance at Harley, who's comfortably sleeping in my arms. When my eyes shift and meet my stunning wife's emerald orbs while she sends me the most heart-warming smile, I realize that as much as you try to plan your life, it sometimes has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned and thought you could be. With a soul overflowing with contentment, I walk over to the bed and place Harley next to her brother and kiss my soulmate. "You’re mine, all rights reserved."

Alisha touches my cheek and smiles. "What about we change it into: This family is ours, all rights reserved?"

My lips curl as my eyes flow over my family.Perfect!

EPILOGUE

With utter need,I park the car in the driveway and step out. Once through the entrance of our home, my heart thumps against my rib cage at the sound of music coming from a unique part of the house. I plant my luggage on the floor and march towards the source. Once on the kitchen doorstep, my vision gets treated to the best present ever. Swinging hips in a red, mouth-watering and figure-hugging satin bathrobe. Like a lion prowling his prey, I close the distance and whisper near Alisha's ear, "Expecting your lover to visit?"

Like a frog, she leaps, and I use this moment to pull her against me.

"Cole! You’re home."

As I raise her off the ground, she wraps her limbs around my waist. With my hands supporting her bum, she cups my cheeks and rests her forehead against mine. The sweet smell of her skin surrounds me as she roams her fingertips over my beard before pecking my lips.Home.

"Missed touching this handsome face of yours."

"Where are the kids?" I ask.

"The twins are still in dreamland, and Sam is at school."

With a grin, I position her ass on the kitchen counter and settle myself in between her opened legs. As her hands study my chest through my shirt, she bites her lip when I open the knot of her bathrobe and push the fabric off her shoulders.

"Damn, is this your 'welcome home' outfit?" I ask while exposing the smooth red material covering her lady parts. Nails dig into my upper arms when I brush my stubble over her shoulder. My hands find her behind and knead her delicious ass.

"This needs to come off," she says, while tugging at my shirt.

A loud cry gets her attention, and instead of undressing me, she places her forehead against my chest.

"Guess 'our time' has to wait."

I lift her chin and brush my finger over her mouth while gazing into her bedroom eyes.

"Tonight, you’re mine. We’re showering together, and I’m going to worship the hell out of you."

Two separate cries fill the air, and after I place her back on the ground, she covers up her exquisite body and grabs my hand.

"Come on, your kids have missed you. They've burst into tears every time you ended our daily video call."

Hand in hand, we travel to the kids’ bedroom, and I quicken my steps when I hear them call out.

"Mama!"
