Alex was in my arms again.

Right where she was supposed to be and where I swore she would stay.

I pulled back and smiled down at her.

“We’re getting married,” I whispered.

She nodded. “Unless you’ve changed your mind.”

“Never.”

Then I kissed her but pulled back again.

“A baby, Alex. A baby!”

My mind was still trying to wrap around that life-altering fact, but my heart was filled with joy.

Alex smiled and then nodded.

“When did you find out?” I asked.

“Today,” she said.

“What happened?” I asked.

“Nothing. But kung pao shrimp are definitely off the menu for the next little while,” she said.

“That’s your favorite,” I said.

She wrinkled her nose. “My ex-favorite.”

I pulled her close, squeezed her tight, having her back in my arms making me sigh with contentment.

And sigh with something else as she stroked her hands down my sides.

“I’ve missed you, Noah,” she said, her voice low, husky.

“You couldn’t have missed me nearly as much as I’ve missed you,” I murmured.

She chuckled, the breathy, husky sound shooting straight to my cock.

“You doubt me?” I said.

“Nope, because I know how much I missed you,” she said.

“How much?” I asked.

“You should see how much for yourself,” she responded.

As she spoke, she grabbed my hand and pulled it to her waistband.

I pushed in and hissed at the first contact with her sex, coating my fingers with her slick cream. “Is all that for me?” I whispered.

“Umm-hmm,” she said.

Her face was soft, dreamy as I stared down at her.

“What else do you have for me?” I asked.
