I stood behind my woman, my hand resting on her belly and my chin on the top of her head. “Do you like it?” We had a lot of undeveloped land in the Iron Rogues territory, so I’d purchased a lot and decided to surprise my wife. I didn’t want our son living at the clubhouse, and I wasn’t a fan of an apartment where the neighbors might hear my old lady’s passionate screams. “We can look for a different lot if you don’t. I picked it because it’s close enough for you to walk to the studio but big enough to have a big backyard for our kids to play in.”

“It’s perfect.” She turned and locked her arms around my neck, gazing up at me with so much love that it made my chest tighten. Then she frowned, but there was a twinkle in her eyes that told me she was about to get sassy. “Kids? As in plural?”

“I’m thinking four…maybe six…”

Molly’s brow rose. “I assume you’re expecting me to be the one to pop out those six—”

“Or eight…” I mused, cutting her off and swallowing a teasing smile. “You look so fucking hot carrying my baby, princess. Expect to be knocked up for the foreseeable future.”

She gasped and stepped back, planting her hands on her curvy hips. “You cannot be serious! If you think you’re going to convince me to have eight kids, you have lost your freaking mind!”

I grinned and tugged her back into my arms, plastering her body against mine. My dick never fully went down around my woman, but all this talk about knocking her up—even when she was currently pregnant—had me hard as a rock. I pushed my hips against hers and dropped my head down to lick a sensitive spot under her ear. “Is that a challenge, princess?”

“No,” she sputtered, knowing I could get her to promise me just about anything when my head was between her sexy thighs.

Laughing, I slipped my arm around her waist and guided her over to the SUV I bought the day after we found out she was pregnant.

I would never force her into anything she didn’t want to do. If she wanted to be done after having our little girl, I would agree. But I was still gonna have fun trying to convince her.

“We’ll figure it out when the time comes, princess,” I told her as I helped her into her seat. Then I kissed the tip of her nose and smirked. “Until then, I’ll just have to practice my powers of persuasion.”

EPILOGUE

MOLLY

The birthday parties we threw for our children had always been more than a little over the top, probably because of the nostalgia since that was how Maverick and I had met. But this one was a little wild, even for us.

“Having fun, princess?” Maverick asked, coming up behind me and pulling my back against his chest as he wrapped his arm around my stomach.

“How could I not be?” I gestured toward all of the party rentals surrounding us. “We have bounce houses galore, cotton candy, shaved ice with a million flavor options, a taco truck, an entire petting zoo, and carnival games. There’s something for everyone.”

He chuckled, his breath hot against my neck and sending a shiver down my spine. “I probably should’ve forced Chase to make up his mind when he tossed out so many ideas for his party. It’s a literal zoo around here.”

We were surrounded by shrieking kids—a few of them ours—and a ton of bikers and their old ladies. Everyone was having a blast celebrating our son’s sixth birthday. I had never seen Chase happier, and we hadn’t even gotten to presents yet.

“We should do the cake soon, then gifts,” I suggested.

“Sure thing, princess.” Maverick squeezed me and brushed a kiss against the top of my head. “I’ll go round up the kids if you want to grab the cake.”

“Will do.”

I headed inside the clubhouse—which had changed so much over the years as our Iron Rogues family grew by leaps and bounds. It reminded me more of the Silver Saints clubhouse than the place I’d walked into so many years ago after Maverick had brought me here. It'd been inevitable with so many of his club brothers claiming their old ladies and having babies.

I stuck six candles into the dinosaur cake and lit them, then walked outside to sing and watch my boy blow them out. There was a whole table full of other desserts—plus the cotton candy and flavored ices—but that didn’t stop us from devouring the chocolate fudge cake with green icing. When that was done and the table where Chase sat was cleared, Maverick and a few of the guys brought out the presents.

Chase tore into the wrapping paper, tossing it over his shoulder as he exclaimed over each gift. I thought we had saved ours for last, but after he opened the new game system he’d been begging for, my brother called, “There’s one more from your aunt and me.”

Heaving a deep sigh, I pinched the bridge of my nose between my index finger and thumb as I watched him roll a mini, gas-powered bike toward us. It was the other gift Chase had asked for, but we’d decided to hold off for at least another year since he wasn’t old enough yet. But only because I’d resorted to sexual bribery to get Maverick to agree with my decision.

“Awesome,” Chase cried, jumping out of his seat to run over to his uncle. “Is there gas in it? I wanna go for a ride!”

Crossing my arms over my chest, I tapped my foot on the ground and shook my head. “Nope. Absolutely not.”

The bike my brother had gotten for my son was adorable, but there was no way I would let him ride it right now. No matter how much he pouted.

“Aw,” Chase grumbled.

“C’mon, sis. Don’t be a spoilsport,” Dane complained. “Chase is big for his age, and he’s been on the back of Maverick’s bike a ton of times.”
