One to Keep (One to Hold 2)

“Mmm.” His voice is sleepy. “What’s changed?”

I push up on an elbow, and hazel eyes meet mine. “I don’t mind anymore. Not at all. In fact, I’m so happy you got Kenny pregnant.” A little laugh slips out when I realize what I’ve just said. “I mean it. Lane is so perfect, and he looks so much like you. I can’t believe how much I love him.”

Patrick moves a strand of hair off my face, behind my ear. “I love you,” he says, and I lean forward to kiss his lips.

“I love you.” I feel the need to say it again. “And I love your baby boy.”

“Our baby boy,” he corrects, rolling me onto my back. He kisses my neck, and his words are slightly muffled. “Did you say we were moving up the wedding date?”

I laugh as his kisses rise to behind my ear, his hand moving to my breast. A tingle of electricity flies straight between my legs as his thumb teases my nipple. “We haven’t even set a date yet.”

His mouth hovers just over mine. “Let’s fix that.”

Sliding my arms around his neck, I pull our lips together. “You say when, and I’ll take care of where.” Our mouths open and tongues meet.

His lips move to the corner of my mouth. “Tomorrow.”

His knee presses between my thighs, and I open them readily, arching my back and smiling. “Let’s pick a date we can actually keep.”

“Oh, god,” he groans as he pushes inside. He’s so sexy, I can’t help the lovely moan that rises from my throat.

“Tomorrow, please.” He bends down to pull a nipple into his mouth.

“Ooh, you’re crazy,” I gasp, pushing him onto his back and moving into our latest position, his arms wrapped around me, holding me close, my hands over his head, covering his mouth with kisses. My hips rock as pleasure tightens in my core.

We can spend the rest of the night debating dates and making love. It’s so much more than I ever dreamed I’d gain when I laid eyes on this man in a restaurant in the desert. Everything we’ve been through to get here seems worth it now. I have him and our baby and a new friend, and it’s all a beautiful treasure—one I’m happy to keep. Always.
