And I am his.

Haleigh and I follow behind Ryleigh Grace as she takes tiny steps along the grass. The thick evening air is filled with the scent of grilled food and a fresh country breeze.The sky looks like a painting with a mix of soft pinks and purples layered over blue.

I can't help but stop for a second to take it all in.

But the best view is wobbling along right in front of me, and she has the cutest pink gingham romper with lace ruffles on her bottom, accentuating her cute little diaper butt. I can’t wait for the day when Jaydon and I have a little one of our own that I can chase around our mini orchard and yard for hours.

I bring in the last of the dishes from outside. As soon as Jaydon sees me, he comes to grab them out of my hands.

“What are you doing? I told you to stay outside and relax.”

“Oh my gosh, I’m fine, Jay.”

“I know, but please just let me do this.” He takes the last platter from my hand, “Go back outside and talk to Haleigh. I'm sure you have a lot to catch up on.” He pins me with his eyes and winks.

“You know, we always have lots to talk about.” I smile, and we both know I never miss a day of talking to his sister.

“Before you go, though, I need a taste of your lips.”

My insides turn to mush—this man never stops and always has me worked up.

I smile when he leans in, kissing me, then sucking my lips into his mouth. He moans, instantly, and pushes his dick against my stomach. I pull back, staring into his heated gaze.

“We have company,” I caution him.

“Well, tell my sister she needs to go home. I have something I need to take care of.”

I swat his chest as he chuckles. “Babe, stop it. We are not running our company away.”

“I’m kidding!” but his hand resting on my ass tightens.

I stare, raising an eyebrow, questioning his truthfulness—because I don’t think he's kidding.

“Okay, I wasn’t kidding… but just go outside and sit down. Fuck. I need a minute to myself now.”

I giggle at his discomfort and squeeze him through his jeans.

He releases a moan. “Fuck, Peachy, you’re pushing your luck.”

I giggle again, biting my lip and taking a step back, knowing I’mmessing with him.

When Jaydon walks back outside to the deck with a cold beer in his hand, he sits beside me on the oversized chair and pulls me into his lap.

He leans in, whispering in my ear, “Expect punishment later for that little stunt.”

I put my finger over his lips shushing him, and he quickly sucks it into his mouth.

Oh, I’m definitely in for it later tonight.

Sitting around the fire tonight brings back so many memories, from when we partied in the field when we were in high school—the field that now belongs to Haleigh and Ryan—to the night shortly after Jaydon came home, and he carried me up to his bedroom and made all of my dirty dreams come true.

From that night on, I knew somewhere deep inside that I was absolutely crazy over this man.

It might have taken us a while to get here, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

Just sitting here, surrounded by all the people in my life that matter the most—it’s the absolute best.

I miss my mom and my sister, even though we still don’t speak. She apologized for everything she’d done and admitted she was jealous of the way Jaydon looked at me and took care of me. But it still wasn’t enough for me to invite her to my wedding.
