I sat down, and my phone pinged almost immediately.

Merri: You’re not wearing green.

I grinned because I had done it on purpose. I was wearing green, but he just couldn't see it yet.

Me: Maybe you will get lucky and get to pinch me.

I typed away, teasing my man, hoping it would entice him to get home earlier. I had no idea how he did it. He had me addicted to being around him. To having him. And even though he had eaten me out before he left this morning, making me come so hard my voice was hoarse afterward from screaming his name, I wanted him again. I’d been a virgin for twenty-five years, and it was like he had unlocked some sleeping being inside of me that constantly needed him.

Merri: I already got lucky. You agreed to live with me.

I smiled at his response.

My sisters thought I was crazy. To them, I had just started to see him, so they couldn’t understand our need to live under the same roof. They thought it was too much in too little time.

And that was okay; it wasn’t for them to understand. The only thing that mattered was what we needed and how we felt.

Onyx and Merri had talked. I still wasn’t sure what had been said, but afterward, it seemed like Onyx had relaxed about me dating his friend’s much older brother. Setting my phone down, I started my computer.

While I waited, I sipped my tea thinking about the surprise I had for him. My hand drifted down to my belly, and I sigheddreamily. I was happy. I had big news, life-changing news, but I wasn’t worried.

I wasn’t exactly sure how it had happened, but I had a feeling I knew. I was religious about taking my pill. Never, not once, missing one. Not because I’d wanted to prevent anything; I had been taking it as a virgin because it helped with my period pain and the heaviness of its flow.

A period I hadn’t had since January.

Merritt and I had been insatiable for one another since I’d given him my cherry. Not once had he worn anything. Almost like he had been on a mission. One that had come true. I suspected he had something to do with me getting pregnant after a month of being together. But I didn’t care.

I wanted his babies. I wanted to have a family with him. It was crazy fast, but he had been right. When you find your person, you don’t wait around for what the world thinks is the right timeline. You didn’t waste a minute, not a moment. Not when life could be unpredictable, and regardless of how you looked at it, time went by too fast.

I stood up and picked up my phone, giving up on the attempt of getting any work done. I was too excited about telling him I was pregnant.

Me: Maybe I should just show you what green I’m wearing?

I typed away and hitSend.

I pulled my shirt up and over my head while looking at the camera in my office and winked before tossing it up there, covering it, forcing his hand at coming home if he wanted to watch the rest of the show.

Merritt

There was no way she knew I was parked down the street instead of my office. I had got in my car after I kissed her goodbye that morning but had pulled over before I reached the first stop sign at the end of our street. I’d sat there, watching the cameras, zooming in on her as she got ready for the day.

I knew how over the top it was, but, Jesus, I couldn’t get my shit under control when it came to my woman.

Not when I had a creeping feeling she was hiding a little surprise. One I had found the evidence of after she had fallen asleep. It had been completely by accident. Sure, I’d had my suspicions. We had been together for a month and a half, and she still hadn’t got her period. Living together was better than I could have ever dreamt, and now we were going to have a baby. I hoped. A family.Our family.

I read her text and frowned while watching the cameras. My little tempting morsel lifted her shirt up and took it off, leaving her in a pretty, little lacy bralette. A mint green one that had me thinking she was my lucky charm.

Fuck, did she dress up for me?

I started the car and rushed back home. I didn’t even shut the door to my car as I hurried in, running through the cabin I had sworn up and down I’d bought because I had needed the space to be alone. But maybe even back then I’d known? I’d secretly wished for a place spacious enough to be the background of a family I might not have had as a kid. One I would have with Scarlett.

“Cutie pie!” I called out and heard her. She was still in her office, and when I reached the door, my feet stopped at the threshold.

“Hi,” she whispered. I felt like my tongue was suddenly too big for my mouth.

Scarlett, my beautiful little temptation, was in nothing but a sexy green lacy set sitting in her office chair, her feet resting ather sides, thighs sprawled out, giving me a very good view of what lay between her thighs.

“You came home fast.” She smirked. She was teasing me, but all I could hear in my head was her calling this place her home. Fuck yes. I loved that. I loved her. Scar’s dark tresses fell over the side of her shoulders. My little minx slipped her hand down and pulled the gusset of her panties to the side. I gripped the wooden molding of the threshold.
