Fake Marriage (Contemporary Romance Box Set)

He laughed and pushed me back on the blanket. “You’re easy.”

I laughed back. “Did you want me to hesitate? Think about it?”

“No. I wanted you to want to marry me.”

I pushed back a lock of his hair that fell into his face. “I do want to marry you.”

“And have my babies.”

My heart jumped. My dream was coming true. “And have our babies.”

He grinned. “Did I tell you twins run in my family?”

“You mentioned it.”

“I was going to use it as a way to sweeten the deal if you were sitting on the fence.”

“You’re all I need, Tucker.”

“Good to know.” He kissed me again. “Still…I was thinking that if we got married soon, when school started in the fall, we could begin baby making project number one—”

“Number one?” I arched a brow.

“Well, a kid needs a sibling and if the twin thing doesn’t work, we’ll need to have a couple of projects, don’t you think?”

I laughed. “I love the way you think.”

“So, back to my thinking. If we start in the fall, then by the time school lets out next summer, Holly Junior could be here and we’d have the whole summer to enjoy her.”

“What if it’s a boy?”

He feigned thinking. “Holly is a weird name for a boy, but…I don’t mind being a trendsetter.”

I laughed again. “I like your plans, Tucker.” I’d be thirty-eight then, but I was in good health so it should be okay.

“The other option is to start operation baby on the honeymoon,” he said. “You might have to take time off school though.”

I liked that idea too. “What if we let nature decide?”

His eyes flashed with heat. “You mean go without protection and let happen whatever is going to happen?”

I nodded.

“Holly, whatever you want, is what I want.”

I remembered saying the same thing to him the night I asked him to give me another chance. I suspect that was partly why we worked so well together. The both of us were highly focused on loving the other, and wanting them to be happy.

“Should we start now?” he said, grinding his hips into mine.

“I’m still on the pill.”

“We can practice. At the very least, we need to consummate this engagement, and what a more beautiful place and time than in spring by the river.”

“I’ve never made love outside,” I said, knowing he liked it when he was introducing me to something new in our sex life.

“Oh God…that is a tragedy. Let me take care of that for you, baby.” His smile was wide and wicked, and I felt like the luckiest woman in the world.

“I don’t know what I’d do without you, Tucker.”
