  Her hands fisted my hair as I slid her legs over my shoulders.

  “Yes, yes, yes. So good to me. Holy shit.”

  I swirled my tongue slowly around her aching clit, feeling it pulse against my warm mouth.

  “Shit, shit, shit, shit. I want to come so badly, please.”

  I pressed my tongue against her clit so hard it made her jump. I raked my tongue against her swollen nub so quickly it made her quake. My eyes fluttered up, watching her skin redden. Watching her tits bounce. Feeling her thighs shiver against my cheeks. Her juices quickly coated my skin. I didn’t stop moving my tongue as I felt her grinding harder against my mouth. I sucked her juicy clit into my mouth, flicking the tip endlessly with my tongue.

  And when her back arched, I felt her explode.

  “Clint! Yes! Holy fuck, Clint!”

  I raced up her body, crashing our lips together in a fit of lust. She rolled me over and straddled my wanton cock, sliding her juices all over my shaft. I gripped her hips tightly. Her hands pressed against my chest as she rose her hips into the air. And when my tip caught itself at her hot, wet entrance, my eyes bulged as her pussy swallowed me hole.

  Not stopping until our hips connected.

  “My God,” I growled.

  Her hair curtained us off. “I love you so much.”

  My eyes found hers. “I love you too, Roxy. And nothing will ever change that. You have my word.”

  Her hips swiveled, chasing electricity through my veins as my eyes rolled back. I bucked against her perfect body, feeling her curves jiggling for pleasure I couldn't even enjoy. She felt too good. She felt too amazing. And the harder my eyes rolled back, the more she bounced against my hips.

  They swiveled and swallowed my cock down to my balls.

  “Fuck!” I exclaimed.

  “There it is,” she whispered.

  “Holy shit. Roxy. My God, the things you do to me.”

  She bounced harder. “Yes. Yes. Yes. I’m gonna come. Your cock’s gonna make me come again.”

  I grunted. “Take what’s yours. Take it and let the world know that I’m yours.”

  “Clint! Fuck!”

  Her head fell back as I pounded into her, fucking her through her orgasm. Her body shivered, and her pussy quivered as I felt my balls pull up into my body. I sat up quickly, wrapping my arms around her before she fell backward. I pulled her close to me as my cock unleashed, filling her to the brim with my seed. Her pussy milked me dry. I felt my balls trembling as I fisted her hair. I brought our lips back together, growling down the back of her throat as I swallowed the rest of her moans.

  And after my dick finished dumping into her, my back collapsed against her mattress, with her laying square on top of me.

  “I love you,” I said breathlessly.

  She kissed my chest near my heart. “I love you too, Clint.”

  Say it now, or you never will.

  “So, not to ruin the moment. But, is this a good time to mention that I might have found a place for us to live.”

  She paused. “What?”

  I blinked. “And by ‘might have found,’ I mean I already purchased it?”

  She lifted her head. “What!?”

  “And by ‘purchased it,’ I mean I’ve already got it furnished, and I just need to move you in?”

  Her eyes searched mine. “You’re crazy, you know that?”

  I smiled. “Crazy for you, Roxy. Crazy for you.”

  ROXY

  SIX MONTHS LATER

  “So, how do you like moving out here instead of being in the city?” Kelly asked.

  I rubbed my massive belly. “Girl, I like it a lot more than where I was living, that’s for damn sure.”

  Karina giggled. “I bet you do. There’s nothing quite like waking up in the morning and not hearing someone cursing someone else out on the street.”

  Kelly took my hand. “We owe you a massive apology, Roxy.”

  Karina took my other hand. “Yeah, we really do.”

  I snickered. “Look, I’ve got a great deal I already have to worry about with this baby coming in the next couple of weeks and trying to keep things held down with Clint and me. To be honest, I haven’t thought about it much.”

  Kelly sighed. “We were definitely in the wrong. And we just didn’t see it because we were wrapped up in our own lives.”

  Karina nodded. “Yeah, we should have listened to you and how we were making you feel instead of constantly defending our actions. I thought that you were more upset at the fact that we weren’t single any more than anything else. Which led to me thinking that you wanted me to dump Zane or something like that.”

  I barked with laughter. “Trust me, I know all too well about how emotions and ill-timed words can really put a damper on things. But, I promise you guys, I’m okay. We’re okay.”

  Kelly wrapped her arm around my shoulders. “Are you sure?”

  Karina thumbed over her shoulder. “Because I’ve got an entire trunk full of very unhealthy snacks, and I know you’ll love that I brought them over as a peace offering if you want them.”

  I blinked. “I’ll stay angry at you until you get it unloaded into the kitchen.”

  The three of us fell apart laughing before we hugged one another tightly. The smells coming from the backyard made my empty stomach gurgle, and I couldn't wait to taste the burgers the guys were grilling out back. It felt good to have my girls back. It felt good to have my life back. And as we stood in the finished nursery, I reveled at the moment.

  For once, I had everything I could have possibly ever wanted out of life.

  Karina kissed my cheek. “And just to let you know? This nursery is insane.”

  Kelly snickered. “If Brenden and I ever have kids? I want a nursery just like this one. I mean, a self-rocking recliner? How much did that cost, Clint?”

  I giggled. “No clue, and he won’t tell me.”

  Karina smiled. “Probably because he knows you’ll jump down his throat.”

  Kelly pulled out her phone. “We could Google?”

  I shook my head. “Nah, let him have his moment. But, Clint really did do a good job on this place, didn’t he?”

  Karina rubbed my back. “Is there any reason why you guys don’t want to find out the gender of the baby yet?”

  I nodded. “Yes, and it’s completely selfish.”

  Kelly took my hand. “Care to enlighten us, then? Because if I were you? I wouldn’t be able to stand not knowing.”

  I smiled brightly. “If you start telling people the gender of the child, then they start getting you all kinds of things in those stereotypical colors. And it doesn’t leave much for the mother and father to buy for themselves. This sounds awesome to some people, but not to me. I want to be able to buy our child that first gender-specific piece if that makes any sense.”

  Karina cupped my cheek. “It makes perfect sense.”

  I drew in a deep breath. “Come on. I’ll show you guys the rest of the house. It took us five months to get me moved in and get this place put together, but now I want to show you guys my favorite part of this place.”

  Zane’s voice wafted up the stairs. “Dinner’s ready, girls!”

  I blinked. “On second thought, food first. Lots and lots of food first.”

  We started laughing again as we made our way out of the yellow-and-mint-green nursery. But, my laughter quickly ceased. Out of nowhere, a sharp pain wrapped quickly around my back before I felt immense amounts of pressure between my legs. I sucked in a sharp breath of hair as my hand flew to my stomach. I propped myself up against the doorway with my other hand as my eyes widened.

  Then, I felt it.

  I felt something wet trickling slowly down the inside of my leg.

  “Roxy, what is it?” Kelly asked.

  Zane yelled up the stairs again. “You guys coming!?”

  Karina shouted. “Get Clint! Hurry!”

  Zane paused. “Why!?”

 
Karina rushed around me and gazed into my eyes before looking down at my feet.

  “Because her water just broke, Zane!” she yelled.

  “What!?” Zane exclaimed.

  “For the love of fuck, go get Clint!” Kelly shrieked.

  I tried my rhythmic breathing. “Holy fuck, this sucks.”

  Karina wrapped my arm around her shoulder. “I know. It does. And it will. Let’s get you down these stairs.”

  Then, I heard Clint’s voice. “Roxy! I’m coming!”

  And a wave of relief washed over my body.

  “Clint?” I asked.

  I heard him bounding up the steps. “I’m here. I’m here. Zane’s getting our bags into the car. Can you walk?”

  Another sharp pain stole my breath away, and all I could do was shake my head.

  “All right. Girls, stand back,” he said.

  And before I got the strength to protest, I felt him pick me up into his arms. As if I weighed nothing. As if I weren’t nine months pregnant.

  “My God, you can still lift me?” I grunted.

  “I don’t care if I spend nine hours in the gym every day. There will never come a time where I can’t take you in my arms,” he said.

  “I don’t know whether to be flattered or annoyed.”

  “Right now, you just focus on the one task you have in front of you.”

  He whisked me down the stairs and out the front door while the girls barked commands at Zane and Brenden. I heard Kelly telling someone to turn off the grill, and I heard Karina telling someone else to make to-go plates, for whatever reason. But, just as Clint set me in the passenger’s side of the new cherry red SUV he purchased a few days ago, I whimpered.

  “I’m going to ruin that new car smell, Clint.”

  He kissed my temple. “I’m not one bit worried about that right now.”

  “Towels!” Karina yelled.

  I felt Clint pick me back up before something soft slid beneath my ass.

  “Towels, to soak everything up,” Karina said, panting.”

  “Here comes anoth-aaaaaah!”

  Clint pressed his lips to my ear. “Breathe with me. Hee hee, hoo. Hee hee, hoo. Hee hee-.”

  “Hoo, I’m gonna punch you in your throat if you don’t get this car to the hospital.”

  Karina giggled. “Well, you heard the woman. Let’s get going!”

  We all hopped into the SUV with the smell of burgers and fries wafting from the back seat. I didn’t know whether to be thankful or annoyed by the car full of people. But, this pain was coming a lot quicker than Karina made it sound like it would. Every time I could blink right, another contraction washed over my body. And it frightened me.

  “Clint, I don’t know if we’re going to get there on time,” I said through my tears.

  “Keep breathing and hollow out your back. It’s going to help with your hip pain, remember?”

  Kelly stuck her head up front. “You went to all of the Lamaze classes?”

  Clint shrugged. “Yeah, why not?”

  I looked at her with wide eyes. “Not important right no-aaaaah!”

  Everything passed in a blur. One minute, Clint was racing down the road, and the next minute I was on a gurney. I wanted Kelly to call my labor coach, but I honestly wasn’t sure if she’d get here in time. The pain was dizzying. I felt like I couldn't breathe. My yoga pants were soaked, my breasts ached unlike anything I’d ever felt before, and it felt like my spine was about to crack in two.

  “Shit, I have to poop,” I hissed.

  I heard an unfamiliar voice pipe up. “All right, let me get you leaned back and check for you--.”

  My head snapped up. “Who are you? You aren’t my doctor? Where’s my doctor!”

  Clint pressed his lips to my ear again. “Our baby’s coming, and he’s coming quickly. This is the on-call doctor. Just listen to him, okay? I promise you’re in great hands.”

  Tears streaked my cheeks. “But, he’s not my doctor.”

  The nameless doctor pulled up a chair. “I know you’re scared right now, but I need you to lean back. Dad, you want to come hold--.”

  Clint shot back at the doctor. “We need to get her out of this bed and let gravity do the work. She doesn’t need to be lying down.”

  The doctor shook his head. “I’m afraid we can’t do that, sir.”

  Clint worked me back out of bed. “I don’t give a shit what you think. Come on, Roxy. Move with me.”

  “Aaaaahhhhh, Clint! It hurts!”

  “I know it does. Lean against me. That’s it. Let me hold you up.”

  “Fuck! Why the fuck is this happening!?”

  He kissed the back of my head. “Let gravity do its work. You just push when your body feels ready.”

  The doctor tried to butt in. “Sir, we really need to get her back into--.”

  I snapped at him. “Shut up, or help. But, I’m not lying in that bed. I know it’s bad for delivery. That’s what my lam-aaaaaaaah!”

  Clint’s arms held me up tightly. “You’re doing great. When you feel the need, push again. And I’m going to be right here.”

  Sweat dripped down the nape of my neck. I watched nurses get onto the floor as they started piling sheets and towels beneath me. I felt tired. I felt sore. I felt angry, and I felt pain. I tried to fight against it with each contraction that washed over me like an ocean trying to swallow me whole.

  Then, Clint whispered in my ear.

  “Let it take you under, beautiful. Pain isn’t your enemy. Not in a situation like this.”

  My eyes rolled back as the doctor’s voice finally sounded. Though, it sounded far off. I let the pain wash over me just like Clint told me, and for some reason, that made things more bearable. It felt like my insides were trying to claw their way out. I’d never felt pressure or pain like this before. The ugly euphoria made me sick to my stomach, but it also made me feel fierce. Proud. Strong.

  Just like Clint had always seen me.

  “There you go. There it is. Just like that, Roxy. You're doing great,” he whispered.

  The doctor called up from the floor. “One more push and the baby’s here. You’re doing fantastic, Mama.”

  “Do this for our boy, beautiful. Do it for him.”

  And as I gritted my teeth, I heard Kelly and Karina squealing with delight at the doorway as the pressure finally relieved itself.

  Everything went silent as I collapsed into Clint’s arms. I felt nurses helping me back into bed as my head fell off to the side. I could barely keep my eyes open. I felt someone taking my hands as my eyes fluttered open. I gazed up into the face of the man I loved, watching him while he watched the doctors handling our baby.

  And when I heard that ear-splitting cry for the very first time, all sound came whooshing back into place.

  “Congratulations, Mom and Dad,” the doctor said.

  I kept watching Clint’s face as his jaw dropped open, and his eyes watered with tears.

  “What, honey? What is it?” I asked weakly.

  But, when I saw the doctor offer Clint a rolled-up blue blanket, I knew. In my heart of hearts, I knew I’d been right.

  It’s a boy.

  Clint laughed with delight. “He’s beautiful, Roxy. My God, you’re perfect. You and he are absolutely perfect.”

  I held up my arms. “Let me see him. Please.”

  I felt someone opening my gown. “Skin to skin is best. Clint, unwrap him and settle him against Roxy’s chest.”

  I felt someone cleaning between my legs before a sheet was ripped from beneath me. I didn’t care, though. The only thing I focused on was that naked baby boy being settled against my chest.

  And when I gazed into his beautiful blue eyes he had inherited from his father, tears rolled down my cheeks.

  “I love you so much,” I whispered.

  Then, I heard machines beeping out of control before my world faded into darkness.

  “Roxy?” I asked
.

  I heard the machines beeping erratically as her arms went limp.

  “Roxy!” I roared.

  The baby started crying as Kelly rushed to her side.

  “Roxy, what’s going on? Roxy, can you hear me!?”

  Karina scooped up our son. “Doctor!”

  Nurses pushed me off to the side as they gathered around Roxy. I watched her body go limp as her face paled before I heard something splashing against the floor. My head whipped over toward the sound, and I saw red fluid gushing all over the floor. Right from between Roxy’s legs.

  My entire world froze.

  No. Not again.

  “Roxy!” I roared.

  “Sir, you have to calm down,” the nurse said.

  “Roxy! Wake up, damn it!”

  I felt hands against my chest. “Sir, you have to stay here. You can’t go with her. Sir!”

  “Clint!” Karina shrieked.

  I felt something soft settle into my arms before I looked down at my sweet baby boy.

  Then, I heard Karina’s voice again. “Let’s get him his first bath.”

  I slowly rose my gaze. “What just happened? What happened to my Roxy?”

  Her eyes watered. “Trust the doctors to do what they do best. But, in the meantime? Your son needs you.”

  My eyes slowly lifted to the doorway, and I saw Zane and Brenden standing there. They rushed to my side and ushered me over to the washing trough where all of us stood around, taking turns washing up my son. My son, who still didn’t have a name because I’d left that to Roxy. My son, who had already been robbed of his mother’s touch because I was forever cursed to lose those I loved around me.

  “Have faith, Clint,” Zane said.

  Brenden nodded. “You’re in the best hospital this city has to offer. Whatever’s wrong, they’ll fix it.”

  I started trembling. “There was--so much blood. There--there was--.”

  Kelly cupped my cheeks. “Focus on your son. Roxy needs that from you right now.”

  Every second seemed like an eternity. Every minute that passed felt more and more hopeless. Why hadn’t someone come in to tell me anything yet? What the fuck had happened to Roxy?

  What if she dies?

  “Mr. Hearthstone?”
