Eoghan nods and gets on his phone. “Shane, when you’re in Vegas with Taryn, go to the villa and grab the keys in the top desk drawer. It’s Jillian’s apartment. There’s a suitcase on the bed. Bring it back for me.”
When he hangs up, I smile. “At least it’s all clothes you like me in.” Even if they’re dirty. I have all the time in the world to do laundry. “It’s a good start.”
“I’ll take you shopping for more clothes tomorrow.”
“Okay.” At least I don’t have to tell anyone I wear a size eighteen.
After a scan of the overhead signs, Eoghan tensely walks toward the feminine aisle. In front of a row of pregnancy tests, he…
He…
Gets down on one knee.
“Eoghan. No. Not here.”
“Yes here. It’s so there’s no misunderstanding, Jillian Diamond,” he says my name to signal he’s serious. “You’re mine forever. I don’t want any doubts in that head of yours telling you I’m just doing the right thing by you.”
“I didn’t want to contradict you in front of anyone, but I don’t see how I can be pregnant, I’m on birth control.”
“If you mean those measly, low-dose pills you just started taking?” Eoghan says, drilling me with a stare.
I cross my arms. “Are you saying, you’re so potent you beat the effectiveness of my birth control?”
“Aye. That’s exactly what I’m saying. That and I railed you and filled you with so much cum just to keep the odds in my favor,” he says this calmly, like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
“The odds? Are we back in Vegas? My getting pregnant works in your favor somehow?”
“It makes you mine forever.”
The sincerity makes my knees go rubbery.
The way this man so assuredly, so undoubtedly wants me forever questions my own decision making because I have trouble choosing a topping for my pizza. I want them all.
The way Eoghan loves my body, I’ll never have to deny myself again.
“Are you sure?” I whisper in a moment of weakness. “This is a big deal.”
“I can handle big deals.” He kisses me and stands up. “Okay, we can do this your way. Go. Take the test.”
“Here? Your brother is waiting for us.” I sneak a glance at a box and swipe one. “Let’s go do it at home.”
“Home? You think of my place as your home already?” He holds my hand against his heart.
Unsure of the test result, or what the hell else is going to happen to me today, I say, “Aye, I guess I do.”
CHAPTER NINETY-THREE
Jillian
“Merry Christmas Eve!” Kieran cheers his entire family wearing a Santa hat.
Inside his grand living room, a fireplace roars on one end and a twelve-foot tree decorated with colorful lights, red and silver bows, and green Celtic-inspired glass ornaments stands majestically on the other end of the room.
Eoghan comes up behind me and wraps an arm around my chest. Pressing a kiss to my ear, he says, “This is how we grew up. We always had a big celebration on Christmas Eve. Kieran restored the tradition.”
“Do the people at Rockefeller Center know someone stole their tree?” I joke, pointing to the pine-scented monstrosity with my candy cane gel manicure.
Eoghan brought me to see the famed eighty-foot tree one night, followed by a private tour of 30 Rock, and the observation deck. Where he dropped to one knee and proposed.
