She pulls back slightly, her smile growing as she warms to the idea. Shrugging one shoulder, she says, “Well, I know you’ll be a huge help. I’m sure Emma will be as well. And with our family and friends, I’m certain we’ll have a lot of support. Plus, I’ve always wished I weren’t an only child and had a sibling I could rely on.” She lifts one shoulder. “I’m okay with it.”
My smile widens. “Baby, you know I’ll be more than helpful. I plan to be involved in every single aspect of our girls’ lives.”
“What if I have one boy and one girl? Or two boys?”
I shrug, a smile on my face. “That is fine with me.” My voice lowers, rumbling through my chest. “But you’re having twin girls.”
She shakes her head, laughing. “Fine. Since you are so convinced, I’m having twin girls.” She looks over her shoulder at the car behind her. “Now, will you show me my new car?”
“Of course, my love.” Striding forward with her wrapped around me, she giggles, pushing at me slightly.
“You don’t have to carry me, Will.”
“Do I need to dignify that with a response?” Setting her down, I grab her hand, leading her around the outside of her new car. Stopping at the passenger door, I open it and help her inside.
“I feel like such a queen. You act like I’m royalty.” She tries to look annoyed, but the exuberance shining from her brown eyes says otherwise.
Leaning in, I kiss her cheek. “Anything for my dark goddess.” With a wink, I stand, heading to the driver’s side.
“I’ll give you a lesson on all the controls, then we’ll go for a drive. I’ll drive there, then you can drive us home.”
She nods. “I’m good with that plan.”
After our lesson, I hit the button to start the car. Backing out of the garage, music plays softly from the speakers. I laugh when she grabs her cell phone from her pocket, connecting it to the car’s Bluetooth. “We need some driving music.”
As we start out the long lane leading to our gates, she puts on “Drive”by the Cars. Our gazes lock and she grins. “I’ll change it to something faster when we hit the open road.”
My hand moves to her thigh. “I’d hope so. We need to see what this car can do.”
Once we are through the gates, I hit the button, putting the top down.
She turns her head to mine, her smile wide, her eyes dancing. “Just tell me when to change the music.”
My hand rubs over her thigh. “I’ll let you know.” We cruise through town, my smile widening as I watch her preen under the admiring gazes of people. This car certainly attracts a lot of attention.
One asshole has the audacity to glue his gaze to my dark goddess as we sit at a red light. He’s practically salivating as he takes in my woman. She is fucking gorgeous in the black leather jacket thrown over her red top, her long silky brunette hair gleaming beneath the late afternoon sun. Her face has a radiant glow from both happiness and pregnancy.
I glower at him, waiting until he meets my heated stare. “Look at her again, motherfucker, and I’ll rip your fucking eyes outta your skull.”
His face pales, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallows hard. Quickly turning his head toward the light, the asshole fidgets nervously, looking as though he’s praying for the light to turn green.
Everleigh turns to me with a smirk, her brows raised. I can tell she’s trying not to burst out laughing by the way she hurriedly bites her lip.
I give her a wink, and she can’t hold it in, her head falling back against the seat as she howls with laughter.
“I scared the piss outta him.” As the light turns green, I rev the engine and stomp on the accelerator, leaving that jackass in the dust.
She turns her head to mine, still chuckling. “Was that necessary?”
“Of course. No asshole should be staring at you. You’remine.”
Her eyes soften. “Always, Will. I’ve been yours since the day I was in that car accident nearly three years ago.” She leans across the seat, her face close to mine. “And I’ll always be yours.” Her soft lips press against my cheek, and happiness flows from my soul, lighting me up like a damned Christmas tree.
Locking my gaze with hers, I grab her hand, pulling it to my lips. As I kiss it, my eyes move to the road, then back to hers. “I’ve been yours since the moment I looked at you, hanging upside down in the wreckage of your car, sheer terror on your face. When I first touched you, pulling you from your mangled car, it felt like I was hit by a bolt of lightning. I’ve never felt anything like it in my life.”
My heart nearly stops beating momentarily at the reverent look on her face. She’s gazing at me like I’m the oxygen she needs to breathe.
Like I hold her heart in the palm of my hand.
