Then Levx turned to Megan, racing to her side. He cupped her cheek.
She groaned, her face swelling from the impact. “I thought your dragon was gone?”
“So did I.” He kissed her forehead. “You helped me recover my true form.”
“You’ll have to take me flying sometime.” She teased.
“Anytime you want, sweetheart.”
“What about the others?” She winced as she sat up fully.
“Stay here, I’ll help with them.” Kissing her pout, he left the pipe with her in case she needed to protect herself. He didn’t need the weapon anymore. With his fire breath, the Tryns were soon defeated and the ship cleansed of the vermin.
Levx gently laid his hand on Megan’s abdomen. “Don’t ever risk your life for me again. You’ve got to think about yourself and our child.” He still couldn’t believe he was going to be a father. Joy bubbled over in his heart.
“About that…it’s not one baby…it’s three. All girls.”
And just when he thought his love couldn’t grow anymore, it overflowed. He felt lucky. Invincible. “Are you okay with that? I mean they won’t be human.”
She placed her hand over his. “Levx, I don’t care they are yours and mine. As long as they are healthy and whole and can turn into a badass dragon-like their dad, then I’m happy.”
Drawing her into his embrace, he kissed her until they were both panting.
“I never got to thank you for saving my dad,” her voice was wistful and soft.
“You’re welcome.” He entwined his fingers with hers. “Is he okay with being a grandfather ‘cause we might ask him to babysit sometimes.”
She bit her lower lip, her eyes huge. “Oh god, no. He doesn’t know. There wasn’t time and I was concerned about finding you and triplets and everyone.”
“It’s okay. I’m sure he’ll get used to the idea.”
He trailed a hand down her arm. “How about we get the hell out of here so we can actually consummate our relationship. I mean all we’ve done is kiss and you’re pregnant.”
“Are you suggesting we practice baby making?” She batted her eyelashes.
“I’m suggesting that I can’t live without you. That you are the light of my life. I love you. And if you don’t want to have sex with an alien…a dragon shifter… then I—”
Her kiss silenced him and he wrapped his arms around her. Even though he hadn’t been looking, he’d found love and she was worth everything and more.
