I looked at Zayne, then Vaughn and Claire. “Is everyone okay if I join the team?”
“Oh yeah. Eliminating those sick fucks will be so rewarding. I totally want you on board,” Vaughn said, taking a drink of his beer.
“I don’t work with the guys, but I think you’ll be a great addition to the company and our family.” Claire placed her hand on her baby bump. “I won’t lie. I can’t wait to really spend time with you in the studio. If you’re interested, I mean.”
“I’m definitely in. I would love to see what you’re working on for August Clover, too.” I took a sip of my wine, enjoying that I could drink with everyone.
“I’m excited.” Claire’s blue eyes danced with eagerness.
I looked at Zayne. “What about you, bodyguard?”
A boyish grin eased across his face. “I trust you to have our backs just as much as I do these dudes. You’ve proved yourself as far as I’m concerned.”
“He’s going easy on you since he’s in your bed.” Vaughn chuckled.
I laughed, loving that the guys were close enough to flip each other shit.
“I would certainly hope so. If not, then I need to up my game between the sheets.” I smirked and lightly punched Zayne in the shoulder.
“Nope, you’re good,” he whispered in my ear.
I took a deep breath. “This will be my first job outside of dance, and I can’t wait to dig in and see how I can bring value to the team. I would love to accept the offer, Pierce. Thank you so much.”
“Excellent.” Pierce smiled, his brown eyes sparkling. “Let’s get some steaks going and celebrate.” He stood, then walked over and extended his hand. “I’ll have the paperwork drawn up in a few days.”
I shook his hand. “I’m excited. Thank you again.”
Pierce clapped, then rubbed his palms together. “Sutton and Claire, your steaks will be well done since you’re body builders.”
“What?” I laughed.
“Pierce calls pregnant women body builders because we are literally building and growing little bodies inside of ours.” Sutton’s grin was infectious.
Then it dawned on me that my steak would have to be cooked well instead of my typical medium rare.Damn. No sushi, either.I took Zayne’s hand and nodded at him.
“Guess I’ll need to take it well done, too.” I glanced at Sutton, her entire face lighting up.
“It’s a go?’
I laughed, finally elated that Zayne and I were having a baby together and planning our future.
“Yeah, Zayne is going to be a father next spring.”
The group erupted in cheers and congratulations, and I warmed with the feeling of love and acceptance. Zayne Wilson had saved my life, then disappeared only to return to save my heart.

One Year Later ~ Zayne
If someone had said that working for Donovan Lambert would lead to the happiest days of my life, I would have told them they were fucking crazy. Yet here I was, staring into the golden eyes of the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. She looked stunning in her white wedding dress that fit every curve of her upper body and flowed out around her legs. It had taken two people to carry her train as she walked down the church aisle to meet me. Even though neither of us were religious, Giselle had always dreamed of getting married in a big chapel, so I made it happen.
“I now pronounce you husband and wife,” Pierce said, grinning.
“Hell yeah.” I lifted Giselle’s veil, noticing her tears. One slipped down her cheek, and I wiped it away with the pad of my thumb. “I love you, Giselle Wilson.”
“I love you too.” She smiled, melting me on the spot.
My lips descended on hers, our first kiss as husband and wife and in front of all of our friends. Everyone stood and cheered, clapping wildly. I nodded at Vaughn and Holden, my groomsmen.
