"It's February 13th."

"What is?"

"My favorite holiday. The day I met you."

"That's not a holiday, Wes."

"Yeah, it is. A holiday is a day of celebration, a holy day. Meeting you was pretty fucking holy, angel. And I damn sure celebrate it. So that makes it a holiday."

"Weston," she whispers, melting in my arms.

"February 15this my third favorite day. It's the day you agreed to marry me. March 1stis my fourth because you married me." I brush my lips across her shoulder. "Mother's Day is my fifth."

"Mother's Day?" she laughs, her body shaking a little. "Why?"

"Because that's the day I realized you were pregnant with Alexis six years ago," I murmur. "It's also the day we get to celebrate you for all you do for us. All my favorite holidays are because of you. All of my best days period are because of you."

"Weston," she whispers again, her voice trembling.

"It's true, Laney. Every damn day I get to spend with you and our kids is my best day. You just keep making them better and better."

"I am pretty awesome," she says, and then sniffles.

I flip her over to dry her tears, kissing them away. "You're not awesome, angel. You're perfect. So fucking perfect," I whisper, chasing her lips with mine.

She gives me that sweet sigh, the one that lets me know she's happy. And that sound? It beats the roar of the crowd any damn day as far as I'm concerned. So long as she makes that adorable little sound, everything in my world is perfect.

"I love you."

"Fuck yeah, you do," I whisper against her lips, hitching her leg over my hip to open her up to me again. Her tongue touches mine and I get lost in her, in us, inloveall over again.

Bonus Scene

Weston

"Stop looking at my girl," I growl, glaring at Theo and Gray, who just smirk at me. "You're making her uncomfortable."

"Dude, you have her eyes covered," Theo says, rolling his at me. "She can't even see us looking at her. And we're all dressed now."

I growl at the reminder that Laney has seen his dick. I briefly consider whether removing it is an option, but quickly decide against it. It'll probably upset him. Better to just murder him outright. Then I don't have to touch his dick, and he can't look at my girl anymore. It's a win-win.

Wait. Do prisons still allow conjugal visits?

Shit. Maybe I need a new plan.

"Oh, yay!" Laney says, wiggling her way out of my arms before I can come up with another way to off Theo without risking prison. She blinks her eyes rapidly as if she's trying to adjust to the light. Her cheeks are pink. I'm not sure if that's because she's embarrassed or because she's turned on.

We did just spend half an hour making out in the bathroom. Best time I've ever spent in there. It would have been better if my asshole teammates weren't on the other side of the door. I could have made her come then. But no one gets to hear Laney coming except for me.

If she's embarrassed, it doesn't stop her for long. She lifts a hand and waves at the guys who are all standing around, grinning like idiots at her. Kelsey's the only woman who ever really comes in here. And she doesn't even count because she's a demon.

"Hi, I'm Laney," Laney says. "Sorry I saw your, um…sausages. You should blame Weston. That's what I do. And it was his fault. I had to pee, and then he was there, and I saw your junk. Now here we are. Fun times."

A couple of the guys chuckle.

"I like her already," Gray says, giving me a shit-eating grin.

"Get your own girl," I growl at him, wrapping my arms around Laney to pull her back against me. "This one is taken."
