If this is a dream, I don’t want to ever wake up.

Waking up draped over him,my body is deliciously sore. I shift slightly to move out of his hold to instantly feel his hand cup my naked ass and squeeze.

“Good morning,” I comment with an early morning rasp to my voice.

“Don’t know that I’ve ever slept so good in my life,” he shares before rolling into me and pressing his lips to my forehead.

I let out a hum in agreement. I could literally lay here all day.

“Things got a little heavy last night. Are you okay?”

Jerking my head back I look at him in question.

“The baby stuff. Does it bother you?”

I relax into him once again. “I’m not gonna lie and say it was the easiest news. In the beginning it was a hard thing to digest. Now though, it’s just what is supposed to happen.”

“It’s not impossible,” he reminds me.

I nod, “impossible no, but the statistics aren’t in my favor. I made peace with it.”

“We can try fertility treatments, like where they implant the embryos.”

A laugh escapes me, “Dillon Jacoby, did you just say you want to have a baby with me?”

He sighs, “told you baby, I’m all in. I’m a simple man. I want love of family. It’s not complicated. I want to build something meaningful for my kids.”

“And what if you don’t get to have more kids?” Her voice is soft as if she’s trepidatiously asking me.

I shift rolling her to her back as I lay over her bracing myself on my forearms as I rest my hips between her legs as she wraps them around me. “Baby, I’ve never had something feel so easy, so right. I want to build a life with you. I’m not some young boy, I know what I want and I want to go after it. If we don’t have kids, we have Hollis. We are going to build a beautiful life together. I promise to give you my all.”

She smiles at me, “I love you.”

I press my lips to hers and she opens. Softly, I take my time kissing her.

“I love you, Maritza. I want this for the future.”

She nods, “me too. Especially the orgasms,” she laughs shimming under me.

“I can do that,” I mutter against her lips before going about giving her an early morning wake up release.

I could absolutely spend every morning like this and die one happy motherfucker.

EPILOGUE

DILLON

One Year Later

The annual Hellionsbarbecue is here. Every year it grows bigger and bigger. Maritza is standing with Dia and Emmalee arranging side dishes on the table inside the clubhouse.

I’m leaning against the bar taking a pull from my beer when Toon comes over. He looks right to Dia.

“How’d you do it, brother?” He asks me and I look to him confused as he nods to the prospect to get him a beer.

“What exactly?”

“Get Ruby okay with you and Zizi?” That is a loaded question coming from him.
