“I love you, Marie Helen Flores.”

I gasp but he just keeps talking, breaking through the walls I’ve built around my heart, melting away my defenses, enveloping me in both his body and affection’s warmth.

“I fucking love you,” Maverick insists ardently. His delicious lips are s close to mine, all I want to do is grab his face and drawn into his kisses. But my man is not done…

“I fell for you the second I saw you. My entire being recognized you. I should have claimed you right then and there. But I was dumb and probably scared.”

I finally find back my voice. My heart so full of love it’s melting under the assault. “Oh Maverick.”

He gently wipes away the tears that have started falling freely down my cheeks with the pads of his thumbs. Then rests his hand back on my stomach.

“you are mine. And I’m yours, Omega. Entirely. Endlessly. I love you so fucking much.” He tenderly presses his lips to mine. “Both of you.”

I let out another strangled laugh.

“And the family we’ll build together.”

I melt into Maverick’s arms, sobbing like the hormonal mess my pregnancy and his wonderful words have turned me into.

“Well,” Mr. Williamson says, “looks like my job here is done.”

We all laugh, and I snuggle deep into my alpha’s chest. Finally, allowing myself to lean on him, settle into our love. Trust in us.

Epilogue

MAVERICK

I lean against the doorframe of our bedroom, and watch my wife, my omega, my fucking everything. Marie is in our bed, propped against a mound of pillows, reading. She has a habit of biting her lower lip when she’s immersed in a book. And my cock gets hard every fucking time.

My omega looks up from her novel, sensing my presence. She smiles at me, a smile that has the power to break and mend me at the same time. Marie reaches to put her e-reader on the nightstand and turns to fully face me. She looks so beautiful, so fucking sexy. Even with her belly swollen with our pup. Especially with her belly swollen. I love seeing my mark and knowing our baby is growing inside her.

She pats the mattress, inviting me to join her, her dark eyes shining, her hair a tumble of curls around her face, and her nipples pebbled against her lacy nightgown.

Fuck, Marie. You have no idea the things I wanna do to you.

I push away from the frame and cross the room in a few steps, stripping off my t-shirt and dropping it to the floor. My little mate has other ideas, though. She raises her arms, her hands grasping the headboard, and gives me an innocent smile.

“You wanna play, baby?”

Her eyelashes flutter, and she nods. My girl fucking loves playing.

“You remember the rules, little Omega?”

Marie nods, her pretty face a perfect expression of innocence. I smirk. Yeah, right.

“No touching,” she whispers.

I growl, taking her in, her long legs, thick thighs, her wide hips and gorgeous, full breasts, the round of her belly, and her beautiful face. Fuck.

“Fuck, you’re perfect.”

She smiles shyly. Even after all this time, my little mate has a hard time believing she’s the most stunning creature I’ve ever seen.

“Take off everything, Alpha.”

“Bossy.”

Marie giggles and I strip down quickly, watching her eyes travel over my body. My dick is fully erect and ready. She bites her plump lip, her gaze burning.
