“Yeah, fine,” she says, resting her head against my chest. “I think the noise of the engines startled her.”
“And what about these two?” I question, moving my hand over her bump and feeling the little terrors inside who’ll be gracing us with their presence in another three months.
Brooke looks up at me with a beaming smile, blowing me the fuck away with her beauty. “They’ve been using my bladder as a chew toy. I’ve peed four times since I got here.”
A laugh bubbles up my throat and I do my best to choke it down. There’s nothing Brooke hates more than me taking pleasure out of her suffering, but where my babies are involved, I simply can’t help myself. “I’ll be sure to give them a stern talking to when they get here,” I tell her, making her eyes shine brighter than they’ve ever shone before.
Brooke pushes up onto her tippy toes and presses her lips against mine. “I’d like to see that happen,” she whispers. “You and I both know that the second you meet these babies; you’re going to fall in love and turn to mush.”
“A bit like how I feel every time you walk into a room.”
Brooke’s cheeks flush the sweetest shade of pink and I watch her in adoration, loving the fact that after all this time, I still have the ability to make her blush. Our relationship has gotten better and better with each passing day. She’s my whole fucking world and still to this day, I can say that fighting to get her back was the best thing I’ve ever done. She’s given me a life filled with laughter and love and I’m so grateful that she allowed me the chance to earn back her trust.
Tora was completely right, back in high school, I was a dickhead. I tossed away the best thing to ever happen to me because I was a scared little bitch, terrified of making a commitment to a woman who could change my world. Since Ryan’s accident, I haven’t looked at another girl. I haven’t felt the need nor have I ever wanted to. Brooke is the only woman I want in my life and without her, I’d be nothing, and she knows just as well as I do that I’d go to the ends of the earth just to remind her of that every single day.
Brooke is an incredibly strong, fierce, and loving woman. She’s an amazing mom to our daughter and I know for a fact that the second our boys are born; she’s going to step up and remind us all who’s the fucking queen around here.
She continues staring up at me, her smile slowly spreading further and further across her face and momentarily making me forget that there are cars speeding around my track and that today is supposed to be one of the biggest days of my life. “You’re too good to me,” Brooke murmurs, raising her chin to brush her lips over mine.
“How many times do I need to tell you that a fucking queen like yourself deserves the very best?” She shakes her head and I grin down at her, loving her reaction to our ongoing argument that seems to have been going on since day one. “I fucking love you, babe.”
Brooke rolls her eyes but the enjoyment of having to deal with me shines brightly. “I love you too,” she says with a grumble before raising her chin just a little higher and inviting me in. “Now shut up and kiss me.”
“My pleasure.”
I drop my lips to hers and devour just her like the mother of my babies deserves. Just as it always does, our kiss becomes heated and if I didn’t have thousands of people currently on my property, I’d be bending her over and taking her right here, out in the open.
Brooke’s always been a firecracker in bed, but these pregnancies have had her libido skyrocketing and I have to admit, some nights it’s hard to keep up with her, but just like always, I give her exactly what she needs.
I feel Brooke’s tongue brush against my lips and I open up, allowing her access when an irritating and amused voice calls out behind us. “Get a room,” Jesse says in that smug tone that has me wanting to throw him right off this balcony just to see how fast he’d fall.
Brooke pulls back with a laugh, both of us ignoring him and acting as though he never said a single word. “You want to sneak into your office for a bit?” she whispers against my lips.
I look down at her to find her eyes burning with lust. “Where’s Mila?”
She holds up the monitor one more time. “Sleeping like the living dead in the conference room.”
