Yeah, she could see that.

“My gift is now more, and I can hear him and communicate with him in our heads even far apart. We are most definitely bonded by this. We’re connected, Bish. I tore the fabric of what was, and now we’re dealing with what is.”

She understood.

“I love you, Lucian. I love you more than anything in the world. You’re my everything.”

“You’re my beauty,” he whispered.

“And you’re my beast,” she said, resting her forehead against his. “Promise me you’ll still love and want me after this.”

He lifted her chin.

“Bish, I want you so much that crossing the line on this plane is not happening. Only, if something bad is coming, and he can get me deeper into the static, I have to let that happen. What if it saves one of us?”

She knew what he meant.

Oracle’s world was difficult.

Roxy died because of it.

Luke did too.

“I mean it. Do it. As long as what we have is safe, I’m good with it. Was Wynter okay?”

He nodded.

“You will forever be my only. You own my heart. I love Ridge, but this is metaphysical. It’s my reaction to him because of the auras. We love each other, but this is the side effect on the other side.”

She understood.

“You owe me one, Lucian,” she said.

He lifted a brow.

“And the price?” he asked, curiously. His wife never asked for anything. It was odd that she would now, and he couldn’t imagine what it would be.

Moving closer, she put her lips by his ear.

“I think I want another baby with you,” she whispered. “When we get home, I want to discuss it. Cassia needs more siblings. I want you to knock me up. I’ve been thinking about it since I saw how good of a daddy you are.”

It was he who laughed this time.

Oh, his wife was not playing hard to get with that one. He’d literally been thinking about her having another one of their children.

“Oh, Bish, that’s a deal. I like when you’re big and wobblily with my child.”

She was honest.

“I want a little boy who has your grin and gorgeous smile. I want a son who will be a heartbreaker like his daddy.”

He found her mouth.
