“You’re a dork.”

He kisses my nose. “I’m your dork and you’re my pixie girl.”

I don’t want sweet kisses on the nose. I grasp his sweater and haul him close. I push up on my tiptoes and bite his lower lip.

He growls. “You’ll pay for that later.”

“Yes, please.”

“Troublemaker,” he mumbles before licking my bottom lip.

“Your troublemaker.”

“You trying to get me all hot and bothered before my entire family shows up?”

“I vote for hot and bothered. Forget about the family.”

He sighs before wrapping his arms around me and swaying me from side to side. “The baby shower is going to be great.”

“It’s too early for a baby shower,” I whine.

“Why? You’re in your second trimester and everyone in town knows you’re pregnant anyway. We might as well have the party now.” The doorbell rings. “Too late now anyway.”

“I’ll get it,” I say, but Brody pushes past me to open the door.

“I’m pregnant. My legs work fine,” I tell him but he ignores me. Mr. Overprotective has arrived at the party. Awesome.

“Riley. Moon.” He motions them inside. “Please, come in.”

“Told you they’d answer the door,” Moon says.

Riley shrugs. “I thought they’d ignore us and continue making out.”

“Were you watching us through the window?” I ask Moon.

“Your window is right there. It’s kind of impossible not to notice.”

I wave a fist at her. “If you stepped in my bushes, I’ll ruin you.”

She lifts the platters she’s holding. “I guess you don’t want any cake or cookies.”

“I’ll take those.” Brody grabs the platters while giving his twin the stink eye. “You couldn’t carry these for your girlfriend?”

Moon frowns. “I don’t let him carry anything, the little thief.”

Riley puffs up his chest. “I’m not little.”

“Fine. You big thief.”

“What’d he do now?” I ask.

“He snuck out of bed in the middle of the night to eat half a dozen of the cookies I made for today.”

Riley grins. “I’m a growing boy. I need to be fed.”

Moon smacks his middle. “You’re going to get fat if you keep it up.”

He wiggles his eyebrows. “Good thing I know how to burn off the calories.”
