“Open and find out, silly.”
Tearing into the wrapping, he does as he’s told when his fingers pause. Paint brushes were hard for him to go back to after everything with his father.
We all worried he would never paint again. Dr. K has helped him work through it, which is why I got him new brushes for today. Ones that remind him of the good. A simple reminder of the reasons we fight.
Each brush has a green handle, but the four of them are very different. One has rough bristles that do not have much flexibility that have the Batman symbol etched into it. Another is a long thin brush, used to create thin lines of flare, and it has a sun engraved on it.
The third has a ghost below the top. Its bristles fan out, making it versatile. And the fourth has a clover right by the handle. The brush is a standard one, versatile enough that it can be used in combination with all the others easily.
“These are perfect, Lucky Charm.”
He carefully places them on his work table. “But they're nowhere near as perfect as you.”
Pulling me flush to him, he kisses me like he needs my lips to breathe.
“Want to head upstairs for a bit?” I waggle my eyebrows suggestively, needing to show him his other present that is wearing way too many layers of clothing at the moment.
“Does Damien need his daily ‘servicing’?”
I snort. Ever since the vasectomy, Doc told Damien he needs to make sure he comes at least once a day to purge the leftover sperm. Since I still have the birth control implant, he asks me to ‘service’ him with my pussy.
“I think this time, we plan to service you.”
He groans as he pulls me closer, breathing me in and kissing my neck.
“Sounds like the perfect birthday.”

I just have a few things I need to settle at the office before we leave for the honeymoon Alexi planned.
I have my own office outside of the house just like my husbands, and we try to work out of here as much as possible.Since it’s the only way work actually gets done.
We’re only two floors above Boris, so we share Cami and are able to meet up for dinners here and there. The estate goes up for auction next month, but the property in the back with the track and the cabin will be ours.
Boris agreed he didn’t need a house that size and has decided to downgrade once he has fully retired, but until then, he and Nessa will be staying in the home connected to the office.
The guys and I have talked about getting another place, but I love our home. Lev has filled each room with his paintings, and I have started having pictures printed to hang in our room for us, including the adorable picture of Lev and Damien cuddled on the couch after we celebrated Lev’s birthday. Alexi thinks we forgot about his upcoming birthday, but we didn’t. In fact, I’m packing a special surprise just for him when we leave.
My phone rings just as the sweetest face pops up. I hit the button to answer immediately.
“Hello there, Captain.”
Angelo chuckles. “I thought you might want to see baby Lissa before your trip.”
He turns the camera to face the most beautiful little baby girl I have ever seen. I actually melt over how cute she is.
“She’s so perfect,” I say softly.
She’s sleeping soundlessly in his arms, knowing her grandpa will always keep her safe.
The guys and I had a talk about kids, and ultimately we agreed they aren’t on the table for us in any way. But I have a strong feeling this girl will be spoiled by us all. The day she wasborn, Damien installed a new security system in their house and upgraded every appliance and piece of furniture in their home.
They were so thankful, Angelo called me nearly in tears. After everything that happened to their family, we refuse to let any of them struggle. So Lissa is like our adopted niece, whom we will spoil and protect instead of having kids of our own.
A knock sounds at my door, and I tell Angelo I have to go, but I kiss the phone and send it to the baby before I hang up.
“Come in,” I call out as Nessa enters the room. As much as she loves helping Boris, Nessa, Laney and I have decided to form a special team of our own. When one of us has an issue we need dealing with, we go to each other. I’m slightly concerned about a guy I sent off for a job as soon as we got back from the island, which is why Nessa is here.
