Command (Storm MC #7)

“Me too, but can I ask you a favour?”
“Depends. How hard is it?”
“Possibly really hard for you.”
He chuckled. “Hit me, sweetheart.”
“Do you think we could try not to have a repeat of this on our second anniversary?”
“I’m not fuckin’ guaranteeing anything. Trying to get you pregnant has become my favourite pastime.”
“What do you mean ‘trying to get me pregnant’? Have you been plotting this?”
“You didn’t realise?”
“No, I just thought it was your love of getting your dick out that was going on. I had no idea it was all part of your life plan.”
He placed another kiss on my lips. “Well, I do love getting my dick out, but I also love you being pregnant. Nothing better than seeing my woman with my child in her belly.”
“You just loved how big my boobs got.” I continued to play with him. This was too much fun.
His eyes dropped to my breasts. “Jesus, how could I forget? Fuck, so many things to look forward to.”
I took a deep breath before asking him the one thing I had to know. “So, you’re not upset that I’m pregnant again so soon?” I’d discovered my pregnancy a few days ago and had spent that time worrying about telling him. Aurora was only four months old and I’d never expected to get pregnant again so fast.
He tightened his hold on me and his playful mood disappeared. The Scott Cole I knew and loved returned, and reminded me why I loved him so much. “Harlow, there isn’t a damn thing you could do that would cause me to get upset with you. You’re my world, you and Aurora, and any other children we have, and I will always be standing right by your side, holding your hand, and facing whatever we have to face. Together.”
“I love you,” I said. I had so many words inside that I could say to try and express my love and thankfulness for him, but those three words pretty much covered it all.
He held me and kissed me for a long time. We probably would have stayed there for hours, but Madison interrupted us.
“You two! Everyone’s been looking for you guys. I mean, this is your party and all,” she said while staring at us in exasperation.
I grinned as I stepped out of Scott’s embrace. “You’re just irritated that you had to get off your chair and come looking for us,” I teased her as I rubbed her heavily pregnant stomach. She was due any day now and her cranky mood was at epic levels.
“Fuck you,” she muttered and turned to stomp back inside.
Scott placed his arm over my shoulders and we followed her. “It’s a shame your Mum isn’t here for the party,” he said. “Where is she now?”
She’d come home for Aurora’s birth and had stayed a few months, but had flown out of the country again two weeks ago. “I Skyped with her this morning, she’s in Hawaii, and she’s met another man.”
“Fuck, I hope this one is better than her last one because I’m not fuckin’ joking, Harlow…if he breaks her heart, I’ll break his goddamn legs.”
J met us at the front door of Trilogy as Scott issued his threat of breaking legs. He raised his brows. “Whose legs are we breaking, brother?” he asked.
“Don’t encourage him!” Sharon chastised J, but I took in the happy smile on her face. She now held Aurora who reached for her daddy as soon as she saw him come in.
I couldn’t hold them in any longer – my tears began falling. They weren’t tears of sadness, but rather of happiness. As I stood in the entry to the restaurant and surveyed the room full of our family and friends, I knew deep in my soul that I was beyond blessed.
For all the struggles we’d been through, we’d come out stronger.
We’d fought for love and we’d won.
And life was even better for it.
Acknowledgments
To my readers – from the bottom of my heart, thank you for loving my characters as much as I do. Thank you for your friendships. Thank you for your kindness. I truly have the best readers in the world. Command was the last book in this first instalment of the Storm MC Series, but it is definitely not the end of the Storm MC! Havoc’s book is up next, and did you see what I did with Wilder? You’ve gotta know that he’s getting a book soon! OH, and what about King? God, I think I want that man for myself… keep an eye out for his book, too. I did plan to write it last in the Sydney Storm MC series, but I’ve fallen hard for him and I think I’m going to move it up on the list.
To my friend, Jodie – I treasure our friendship so much. I never imagined it to grow how it has, but I’m so very blessed to have you in my life. Thank you for showing me how to be a better friend. Thank you for encouraging me to be the best version of me. Thank you for teaching me that some people can suck my big, hard cock. I really don’t think you know just how amazing you are, my friend xx
To my long suffering editor, Karen – thank you for putting up with me… again! Thank you for understanding that sometimes the words just don’t come. I truly value your encouragement and support.
To Eric Battershell – thank you for your photo that graces my cover. It is the exact right image for this book and I am in love with it more today than when I bought it.

To Letitia, my cover designer – thank you for creating my favourite cover to date! I can’t wait to get this book in paperback – I may stare at it for hours!! xx
To my bloggers – thank you for everything you do. Having been a blogger before, I truly do not believe most authors quite understand the dedication you have and the hours you put in. I do, and I am so thankful for it all.
To my girls in Levine’s Ladies and Team Levine – I want to acknowledge every single one of you amazing ladies who has taken the time to chat with me, share my books and support me, but honestly, there are so many that I am afraid I will forget some, and in my mind that would be worse than not naming anyone. Please know that if we have chatted in my group or online anywhere, I treasure our friendship. Some people think social media is the devil…I don’t, I love what it has given me in some very special friendships.
To Patti West – thank you for contributing the Sex In A Pan recipe for Harlow to make for Scott. And for your beautiful friendship, too. I can’t wait to meet you one day, Patti. I adore you – you have a heart of gold and are so kind and giving xx
To my family and friends – thank you for loving me and supporting me as I reach for my dreams. I love you all.
