A clearing of a throat comes from behind me before Dad appears by our side, carrying Logan and glaring. “I’m over here, in case no one noticed.”
“Hi, Dad.” I kiss his cheek.
“So now you have a dad?”
“Your jealousy is showing, King.” Nate smirks at him.
“You shut up, daughter stealer.”
“Dad.” I grab his arm, laughing, and he just shakes his head. Since he’s overprotective, it’s impossible to have him stop throwing jabs at my husband anytime he gets.
Even if he loves how much Nate takes care of me.
“And stop your PDA in front of my grandchildren. Give me Lily.” My father basically snatches her and holds each of the twins on an arm as he speaks to them. “You two prefer your grandfather anyway, don’t you?”
I smile as he takes them back to the house, but it’s interrupted when Nate wraps his arms around my waist from behind and rests his chin on my shoulder.
“Have you slept well?” His words against my neck draw a shudder out of me.
“Yeah, and I just had the best morning.” I turn around to face him and flatten my palms against his chest. “Thank you for the photo album and that letter. I will cherish it until I die.”
“You don’t have to.”
“Too late. Already learned it by heart.”
He smiles and I’m trapped in it. In how easily he does it around me. Sometimes, it feels like I’m the only reason he smiles and I selfishly love it.
I love that I’m his world as much as he’s mine.
“Happy birthday, wife.”
“Happy anniversary, husband.”
A small frown appears between his brows. “Anniversary?”
“For the day you fell in love with me.” I stroke his cheek. “It was a few years after me, but it’s okay. You’re stuck with me now.”
“That’s where you’re wrong, baby girl. You’re the one who’s stuck with me.”
And then he flings me close to his body and kisses me with a passion that seals my fate.
Ourfate.
I’m his and he’s mine.
Probably ever since I was born.
