Chasing Desire (Chasing Love 3)

“You all right?” he asked. “You didn’t go into the shop today, did you?” She’d been sick, throwing up at the most random times, and even though he told h

er a thousand times to stay in bed and rest, he knew she wouldn’t listen. Something he’d get to spank her for later.

“I worked just a couple hours but then took off early to see the doctor.”

He cupped her face and kissed her softly. “I wish you would have told me, I would have gone with you. What did the doctor say? Flu bug?”

The most unexpected thing happened. His strong, fierce woman burst into tears.

“Whoa, whoa, honey, what’s wrong?”

She ran a hand through her hair, crying.

And, Huck realized, also smiling.

“Okay, you’re worrying me now,” he said.

“I’m just…” She looked at the celling and shook her head. “I’m really, really happy.”

When he frowned, she took his hand and trailed it from her face to her stomach. He stilled. Every damn thing in his body stilled. When he looked from her teary eyes to her stomach, he couldn’t hope that…

“I’m pregnant,” she whispered.

Every single ounce of joy, shock, and love spread through his veins at rapid speed.

“And you’re…happy?” he asked. He’d always wanted kids, made no secret of it. But his bride to be? He wanted to be sure.

She wove her fingers in his hair. “I’m so happy. You made us a family.”

A sting hit his eyes. She was his. The woman of his dreams, and she was pregnant with his child. She was his everything. Had given him everything.

“We made us a family,” he said, and he kissed her. “Forever.”

She smiled against his mouth. “Forever.”

It was the single best thing he’d ever heard, and he couldn’t wait for that forever to start. But he realized that his true forever had started the moment he’d met the beautiful woman in his arms. And throughout all the seasons, Autumn would be the one that held his heart.
