“I believe it. It took you all of five minutes to get my life story out of me.”

She smirks. “We all have our talents.”

I glance toward the front door again.

“He’s fine, sweetheart. Angus always knows what he’s doing.” She reaches out and grabs my hand. Julie is everything a mom should be. “He’s going to come back here, and then we’ll see about planning this wedding.”

My mouth falls open. “We’re not engaged.” We only said I love you hours ago, and just thinking about it makes my heart flutter. Marriage was never something I thought about until Angus.

“It’s better to get a start on these things. Unless you’re okay with a baby bump in the wedding pictures. I’ve always thought that was kind of cute.” She leans over. “And sexy.” I burst out laughing. “All I’m saying is think about it.”

Oh, now I am thinking about it. Angus hasn’t asked me to marry him, but things have been crazy. We did have unprotected sex, so I guess I could be pregnant right this moment. The thought isn’t as scary as I thought it would be. I can see living out in the cabin with a few little ones. It sounds like a dream.

I jerk around when headlights flash across the house, and I’m out of my seat, racing for the door. I fling it open and run towards the truck. He barely hops out, and I’m on him, jumping into his arms and kissing him.

“You’re back.” Before he can respond, I’m kissing him again. I don’t want to stop but I need to look at him. I lean back and take him in. He looks fine, and I don’t think he’s been in any kind of fight. “You’re okay?”

“My girl just ran and jumped in my arms. Yeah, I’m okay.”

I brush my fingers across his cheek, and I can’t stop smiling. Then I remember my brother. I was so wrapped up in Angus being back, I wasn’t thinking about why he was gone to begin with.

“He’s alive,” is all Angus says and it’s cryptic. “And he’ll be staying away from you.”

I nod because that’s for the best. It isn’t just me anymore, and I have to think about the other people in my life who Jero could affect. I will not let that happen. I want a real family, and he’s not it, not anymore.

Angus gives my ass a squeeze, and I smile. “What about everything else?”

“Babe, I handled everything. You stick with me, and I’ll always handle everything. You never even have to ask because I’ll already be doing it.”

I kiss him again, and I can’t stop. I don’t think I’ve been this happy in my whole life. For once it feels like I have a chance at a real future.

“I take it everything went okay.” I freeze and then slowly pull my mouth away from Angus’s. I should have known his mom followed me out.

“Yep.” He gives my ass another squeeze. I try to give him a look, but he only smirks.

“Don’t think you’re leaving here tonight. It’s late and you haven’t slept,” his dad says, and I realize he’s right. I wanted some alone time with Angus, but I need to remember that now I’m going to have Angus every day. Waiting one more won’t hurt.

“Good call, Pops, I’m beat,” Angus agrees. “We’ll go home tomorrow.”

“Home?”

“Yeah, home.”

“I really like the sound of that.” I wiggle so he’ll put me down, but he doesn’t. Instead he starts walking toward the house with me in his arms.

“Angus, put me down,” I hiss and try to wiggle more. That only gets me tossed over his shoulder. “Angus!” I cry out when he smacks my ass. I hear his mom laugh, and I blush.

“These boys are just like you, Mitch.” Angus stops walking, and I think he’s going to put me down, but I’m wrong.

“Thanks. I love you guys,” he tells his parents.

I get all warm inside at how close he is to them. It shows me what kind of husband and father he’ll be one day.

“You don’t ever have to thank us. This is what family does,” Julie tells him.

“Take your woman to bed before all the blood goes to her head,” Mitch chuckles.

“Thank you!” I tell them, which gets me another slap on the ass, but at least he’s moving. He doesn’t stop until we’re back in the spare bedroom, and he’s dropping me on the bed. “You’re terrible.”

“Yeah.” He reaches behind and pulls his shirt off before kicking his shoes off too.

“Well, I didn’t think you would just agree.”

He gives me a wicked smirk. “I’m about to do all kinds of terrible things to you in this bed with my parents down the hall.” I shake my head, but he just goes for his pants. “It’s happening.”

He’s beautifully naked in front of me, and I stare at his cock. “I don’t even know what to charge for this.” I pull my shirt over my head, excited to be skin on skin.
