Silence settled through the room while everyone stared at her. Ayden slowly made them all leave until just he and her men remained. When no one said anything, she started to get off the bed, ready to do battle if they didn’t start talking.
“No, Sarah, relax.” Devon placed his hands gently on her arms. “Honey, I meant to tell you this tonight, but I guess you better know now.”
“You’re damn right I want to know now. What is going on? I’m dying? Do I have some terminal illness or something? If Tom already knew about the mark then how in the hell am I ruined? Tell me! I can handle it.”
“You’re…pregnant, Sarah.”
The air left her lungs as her hand flew to her stomach. Every emotion she could think of flooded her at once. What if Channing hadn’t arrived or Gavin hadn’t made it to her? What if she wouldn’t have screamed, warning Evelyn?
Tears traced down her cheeks, for the first time since Tom had barged in on her. “We’re going to have a baby?” The words came out barely above a whisper, and she didn’t even wait for his answer. The happiness that swelled in her chest caused her to launch herself into Devon’s arms.
“You’re okay with this?”
The uneasiness in his voice made her look up. “Yes, of course. Are you okay with it? I’m sorry. I should have asked you.”
“Yes, of course. I love you, Sarah.” His lips crushed against hers, and the door opening broke them apart. She quickly made her way to Gavin.
“How are you with the news?”
“I couldn’t be happier. We’re all going to have a baby. What could be better than that!” Gavin’s large arms encircled her, and Evelyn’s squealing in the background caused her to jump. Laughter echoed out around them.
“How about we continue this wedding?” Sarah said, smiling. “I think we’re missing the reception, and I believe they’re missing one of the grooms.” She looked toward Ayden, who smiled back.
“You have one hell of a mate, boys.”
“Yes we do,” they said at the same time.
When she walked out of the room, Evelyn glued herself to Sarah’s hip. “We’re so going baby shopping together. We’ll have so much fun picking out clothes and nursery themes. Gosh, I’m so excited,” she whispered.
Silk flew through the air as Nicole rushed forward. “Are you all right? I’m so sorry.”
“I’m fine. I’m the one who should be sorry. I’ve completely ruined your big day.”
“Not even close.” Her new friend wrapped her arms around Sarah and pulled her face down, kissing her cheek. Sarah smiled, hugging her back.
“Now, who wants to hear me sing?” Trevor yelled loudly for everyone who stood in the living room. Yells erupted, and Nicole was lifted by Ayden who carried her out of the door and back to the tent. Sarah wrapped her arms around her men, never feeling happier.
“So, I’m thinking a long soak in the tub, with candles, chocolate, and…apple juice?” Gavin kissed her forehead as they sat at a far table.
“That sounds amazing.” Sarah laughed and watched the happy couple cut the cake where Trevor proceeded to take the mic and begin to sing. Everyone was floored the moment his voice filled the air. He sung beautifully, like nothing Sarah had ever heard in person.
“How are you feeling? Are you up for a dance?”
Sarah looked at Devon and smiled. “I’d love to.”
Devon nodded and led her to the floor. His arms pulled her close as a slow song started. Sarah held onto him tightly as his body molded to hers. The feeling of his hand spanning across her lower back caused heat to rush through her body. All she could see was him as the sounds of the music quieted from the background. Devon and Gavin’s love soared through her, touching places she’d never even known existed.
As the song ended, Gavin appeared beside them. Pulling him close, she held on to both of her men. The three of them together couldn’t have worked out better.
“Tonight, we celebrate a new start.” Devon looked deeply into her face, his eyes holding so much emotion that it took her breath away. Just before his lips touched hers, she realized what he had said.
“No,” Sarah whispered against his lips. “A new start would mean things ended between us. My love for you never wavered.” She pulled back and looked at her mates. Their attention was solely focused on her.
“I believe everything happens for a reason. Gavin was that reason.” Her hand tightened on the back of his suit jacket. “No new starts. Tonight, the three of us celebrate our happily ever after.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I live in a small Texas town along the Gulf of Mexico. Family is everything to me. My mother always encouraged my reading growing up. Looking back, my earliest memories revolve around my grandmother, who was always glued to a book. Her passion for mystery is probably the reason I’m so comfortable around a police scanner. Hers was on twenty-four hours a day.
When I'm not writing, cooking, or brainstorming new ideas, you'll see me with a book in my hand. Briefly before I started writing, I was devouring a romance novel every day. For some reason, I couldn't get enough. My husband asked me the question that ultimately changed my life forever. "Why don't you try writing a book?"
At first, I laughed. Write a book? Who, me? Never having written a story in my life, I was intimidated. To satisfy my husband and to sate the curiosity that began to fester inside of me, I did. My first story was my husband’s favorite. There was something that ultimately bothered me about it, though. I couldn't write a love scene to save my life. Not one that would fit inside of a "romance" book, anyway. It was way too graphic.
After doing research, I came across the erotica genre and knew this is where I belonged. Details are important, and with my books, the more details during their "coupling", the better.
