Page 123 of It Had To Be Us

In hindsight, I should have had a tattoo for Liam before finding out he was my son.As my brother.After all, I have something representing the rest of my family, even Dani, not that she knows that. I’m not keeping it a secret as such, but every few days since we’ve been together, she’s asked about a different tattoo of mine, and the stories behind them. So, I’m patiently waiting until she asks about hers.

“Alright, time for us to get some sleep,” I say, brushing the hair away from Dani’s face.

She looks up at me through her long lashes and smiles. “Is it okay if we sleep right here like this?” she says, snuggling farther into me. “I know you’re rock hard, but I love it like that.”

Looking away, I chuckle quietly because after all this time, she still comes out with accidental innuendos, and it brings me so much joy. Pressing a kiss to her head, I smile before gently running my thumb down her cheek. When I finally meet her gaze, I expect a confused expression, but she smirks back at me and bounces her eyebrows, causing me to do a double take.

“Wait. You knew?”

She shrugs before her head hits my chest again, leaving me completely shocked and awed by her. And it’s not until I feel her body shake with laughter that I snap out of it and laugh myself.This girl…

“Well I never... I think I just fell in love with you all over again.”

And I bet it’s not the last time that happens.

Epilogue Two

Five years later

Leaningagainstthewall,I cross my ankles and wait not so patiently for Dani to finish getting ready.

“Come on, Dani. I’m sure you look amazing.”

“Seriously, no one should wear pants this tight. Ever!”

My own pants tighten at the visualthatconjures up, and now I’m even more desperate to see her. “How am I supposed to get ready if I don’t know what we’re dressing up as?” I say, trying to hurry her along, but really, I don’t give a fuck what she’s putting me in. She could be dressing me as a Pokémon and I’d be fine with it, as long as I get to see the tight pants she’s talking about.

“Okay. Are you ready?”

I’ve been ready since the second you said joint costumes.“Yep. Come on out.”

Nothing happens for a second and then…Holy Fuck!A bright red stiletto appears in the doorway as Dani raises her foot, pointing her toes toward the wall in front of her.And, I’m done for. It doesn’t matter what else she’s wearing because that alone has me ready to ravish her.

“You’ve got five seconds to show yourself or I’m coming in.”

Dani giggles as her foot disappears, and I count to one in my head before rushing into the bedroom. There’s no way I was actually going to wait the full five. “Sorry, I got impatient, I…”Fuuuck!

Dani is Sandy. I’ll repeat.Dani is Sandy.Complete with tight leather pants, an off-the-shoulder black top and scarlet-red lipstick.Fuck, fuck, fuck.

“Jesus!Are you trying to kill me?”

Her eyes widen before she blinks innocently. “No, why?”

“Because all my blood is pooling in one certain area and I’m feeling a little faint.”

She tries to swat me across the chest, but I catch her hand and pull her toward me as she giggles. When our noses are almost touching, her smile fades and I know what she’s about to say.

“I know, I’m sorry,” I rush out, referring to the joke about my health. I promised I wouldn’t do that, but it occasionally bypasses the sensible part of my brain.

“Thank you. I’m sorry it’s still so hard for me but—”

“Nope,” I say, pressing my finger to her lips. “Don’t ever apologize for caring about me. It’s how I know you love me.”

I shoot her a cheesy grin, and a small smile plays on her lips before she shoves me away. “Shut up, I tell you I love you all the time.” That she does, and, fuck, I love it.

We had Liam tested for the same condition last month, and since then, Dani’s been a bit more on edge. It’s the first time she’s heard a doctor talk about it, and I think it became a little more real. Thankfully, Liam got the all clear, so she only has me to worry about.
