With a grin he pushed off the wall and made his way over to her. When he got close, Brett held his hands out and Alex took him into his big muscular arms. Who could blame the kid, the man was very appealing. Big, warm, and safe. She put her arms around both of them and laid her head on Alex’s chest.
“Let’s hope this little guy is nothing like you when he’s a teenager,” she said. “I don’t think I could handle it.”
She felt his warm chest move beneath her as he laughed. “Being bad was fun. But this”—he placed a kiss on her head, just like he had all those years ago—“this is what I was born to do.”
