"Keep nibbling on your lip, and I'll have to soothe the ache, Eve." His warning does nothing but make me bite harder.

Being the biggest of my guys, he towers over me even from our positions, with him on the ground in front of me. His hand wooshes my long dark hair off my shoulder; then his lips are on mine in a hungry sort of dance.

Groaning, my hands move of their own accord, ready to tear his clothes off and have my wicked way with him against my desk.

"Mommy! Look what I made!

Amiri's chest rumbles in a sexy laugh and presses his face into my chest before looking up at our little girl.

"Little warrior, get back here!" Koko shouts from deep in the house, probably freaking out at our toddler's fabulous escapee abilities.

I bite back my laugh when she shoves the door wide and tumbles into my office in all her fumbling glory of white-blonde curls.

"Let's see, baby!" Mir scoops her up and places her on his bouncing knee, still kneeling in front of me. "Oh wow! You made that?"

"Don't let the little minx fool you, bro." Ry waltzes into my office, looking like sex on a stick. "Rae Camila Yvonne, what did I tell you about fibbing?"

I tuck a wayward ringlet behind her ear and admire her pearly skin as she pouts at the man scolding her.

"But Daddy, I won't ever be as good as you." Her teeny voice is a whine that makes my heart fissure, and Miri chuckles, seeing right through her game.

"Raebae, did you steal Daddy's artwork again?" Nolan makes himself known as well with a boop on her nose.

"Yeah, Papa! But look, it's me! So...mine!" Hugging the drawing to her chest, she gives her daddy a big smile before launching into my lap when Korren rounds the doorframe. "Shh!"

I giggle when she buries herself beneath my blouse and shushes me. Raelyn's birth mother chose us to adopt her while she was pregnant, so my sweet girl has been ours since before she took her first breath.

"Little Warrior..." Kor's thundering voice sends chills down my spine and makes Rae squeak a laugh into my tummy.

"WHERE'S MY FAVORITE LADY?"

Squirling out of my lap and away from me, Rae squeals, "Auntie Jojo and Lisa are here!"

"Ah, ah!" Korren scoops her up and tosses her in the air with a bright smile as he nuzzles their noses together. A small smile graces my lips as he sets her down like he always does when she tries to leave a room without giving me love.

Bouncing her way back to me, my little girl crawls her teeny self onto my lap and wraps her arms around my neck. "I wuv you, Momma." Then she's gone in a flash, excited to see her aunties.

Amiri helps me up and guides me out of the room with an arm around my waist. Rambunctious laughter and happiness tinkle through my ears and tickle my chest.

This is the future I always wanted. Minus one person.

Warmth surrounds me from all sides, a hug only a mother could give.

A tear drips from my lashes.

Mine is always with me.
