“I’m never going to be bored with it.” Caleb winked at him and nodded his head in Andy’s direction.
Rome grabbed a drink from a passing waiter, took a large gulp, and squared his shoulders. He was done waiting.
Andy Evergreen was going to be his.
Epilogue
Five years later
“Congratulations, darling,” Caleb said, pressing a kiss to her head while also holding out her very first paperback book.
She took it from him, and he handed her a pen.
“Please sign, for your number one fan.”
“Mommy, sign the book,” Robby said, clapping his hands. Their five-year-old son came and sat down beside her.
Their daughter, Leigh, was in her lap. She kept on turning to talk to Lilly’s swollen stomach.
On their honeymoon, Caleb had vowed to keep her happy and pregnant. So far, he’d done exactly that.
“You didn’t need to bring this.”
“I didn’t? Why wouldn’t I when I’m so proud of you?”
Lilly opened the book and signed it.
“Now I’ve got a signed copy of a book completely dedicated to me.” He rushed back into their house as Robby curled up against her leg and began to tug at the grass beneath him.
She leaned back on her hands, and Leigh crawled close, resting her head against her stomach.
“Can she hear me?” Leigh asked in her baby voice.
Lilly could understand her daughter clearly. Others struggled, but she’d become adept at baby talk.
“Yeah, our baby can hear you.”
“I want a brother,” Bobby said.
“We’ll get what we’ll get,” Caleb said, joining her on the grass. Tomorrow was their anniversary. Jane and Theodore would be stopping by to take their kids so she and Caleb could have some time to themselves. Edward would be taking them afterward.
Her father, much to her surprise, had become a permanent fixture in her life. He still wasn’t great in social situations, but the Hard family refused to let him stay alone. He was part of her, and that made him family.
Caleb picked Robby up and started to tickle him.
Their son’s laughter filled the yard, and not liking that she wasn’t getting attention, Leigh joined in, jumping around, begging to be tickled.
Lilly joined in, and that was how Jane and Theodore found them.
They couldn’t stay for dinner, and so Lilly kissed her babies goodbye, seeing how happy they were to go to their grandparents.
“You’re going to cry,” Caleb said, kissing her neck.
“I’m not going to cry.”
“I won’t judge.”
She glanced behind her. “I’m happy. They’re happy tears.”
Caleb rubbed her neck, massaging out the kinks. He was the perfect husband in every single way. He’d helped her through her college courses, encouraged her writing. When she’d tried to quit, he refused to let her leave the laptop until she put down words. He wouldn’t let her give up on her dream.
After multiple rejections, she’d gotten the golden letter of acceptance. Her book was now published, and it was selling and people were enjoying it. Caleb took her hand, leading her into their home. She watched as he closed the door, leaning back against it.
Even with her large bump and the way he looked at her, she knew what he wanted. She kicked off her shoes and slowly began to make her way upstairs. As she did, she started to strip, very much aware of him following.
By the time she got to their bedroom, she was completely naked and sat on the edge of the bed.
He entered the room, his cock hard, and he wrapped his fingers around it.
“You know, there is one scene in your book I couldn’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu.”
“Oh, yeah? Which one was it?”
Caleb went to his knees before her, pressing a kiss to her knees. “The scene where the hero finally proposes. I couldn’t help but think you got inspiration from someone.”
Lilly chuckled. “It went with the story, and it helped that I’d experienced it as well.”
“Mine was epic though, right? Making you mine in front of the entire town. I win book boyfriend of the year inspo?”
He pressed his lips to her pussy, and she gasped. “Caleb, you win best husband in the world no matter what.”
