Page 39 of Unexpected Delivery

My stomach flutters as he grins down at my daughter. Seeing his tattooed fingers gently patting her back seems to make my brain a little gooey.

There’s no way around it…

Give a gorgeous man a baby, and he somehow defies the laws of nature and gets even hotter. Watching a hot guy holdingmy babyamplifies that exponentially.

Morris huffs, tugs off his T-shirt, and tosses it aside. He spots me watching and smiles. “Sorry. I worked up a sweat.”

My gaze dances over his strong shoulders and chest to his soft stomach. The man is a freaking beast—incredibly strong and still soft to cuddle with.

I mean, he lifted me out of my car like I weighed nothing. He also kept me grounded and praised me every step of the way as I birthed Gracie. He’s nothing like any of the guys I’ve dated in the past, and somehow that only makes him more attractive.

It might be dangerous to be in such close proximity to these men… If I’m not very careful, I’ll end up way too attached.

The next morning, Hayes gives Hael a very serious lecture about driving safely while he has me and Gracie in the SUV.

Hael laughs it off, but I think it hurts his feelings that his twin thought it needed to be said.

Morris buckles me into the back seat and stretches his arm across me to pat Gracie’s stomach. “I wish I could be there with you, but if I don’t do payroll, the guys will riot.”

“I get it,” I assure him, staring into his bright blue eyes. With him reaching across me to say goodbye to Gracie, his scent is everywhere. Real coffee has nothing on the way Morris smells, and my mouth waters.

The massive alpha moves to close the door, but he pops his head back inside and kisses my temple. “I’ll see you this afternoon.”

I nod and fold my hands together to keep from snagging his T-shirt to pull him closer.

Morris makes me feel safe in a way no one ever has. It’s an instant connection, and my instincts trust him implicitly. It’s not that I don’t trust Hayes or Hael; there’s just something about Morris that settles my frayed nerves.

The twins are smoking hot, and they’ve been nothing but kind to me, so it makes no sense why I feel like I might cry to say goodbye to Morrisfor the day.

Come to think of it, I’ll miss Hayes too while he’s at the gym.

“We’re going to be late if you don’t close the door,” Hael says from the driver’s seat.

Forcing a smile, I nod at Morris. “See you this afternoon.”

Hayes stands by the front of Hael’s SUV, and he waves through the windshield as a clicking sound fills the air, indicating Hael put the vehicle in reverse.

I wave back and focus on Gracie.

I doubt I have to worry aboutgettingtoo attached to them… Mostly because I think I’m already there.

I’m teetering on dangerous ground. I’m just not sure how to stop it before it’s too late.

The pediatrician’s office is small but warm inside. Gracie sleeps through Hael carrying her car seat in. We step up to the desk, and he wraps his arm around my lower back.

“Did I tell you that I called to add Gracie to my insurance?” He bumps his hip against mine. “It was super fucking simple, but yeah, that’s done.” His face breaks into a devastatingly handsome grin, and my heart races.

“Hael?” a woman’s voice asks, coming from the check-in desk.

My head whips up at the same time Hael’s does.

“Aww, shit,” he mutters, and my heart drops.

The woman on the other side of the desk isbeautiful.Her big green eyes widen as she spots me with Hael, and her long blondish-brown hair falls over her chest as she stretches over the desk, taking in the car seat.

My body acts of its own volition, and I take a step back, but Hael holds me in my place with his hand on my hip.

Okay, so, I’m just going to need to find a new pediatrician. If this is his ex-girlfriend, then I pretty much have to, right?
