“It doesn’t matter if they want you,” he said. “You’re already mine. Now tell me when we’re going to make that official.”
“As soon as possible?” I suggested.
He flipped us until his body was covering mine on the sofa. “Not good enough, Emma. I’m getting that date before you go back to Michigan.”
I wrapped my arms around his neck and wriggled my hips against him. “Then we have a little time to figure it out.”
“Emma,” he said in a warning voice.
My heart stuttered as I realized that he was as hard as a rock.
“Make love to me, Colin. We’ll figure everything out. I need you. I just need to be with you right now.”
“How am I supposed to argue about that?” he asked gruffly.
“You’re not supposed to,” I said in a seductive voice.
“Hell, you make me completely insane,” he said in a voice that told me he didn’t care if he became a lunatic.
As soon his lips met mine, neither of us cared about anything else for quite some time.

A Few Months Later…
“Ican’t believe we’re married now,” Emma said with a happy sigh as I held her in my arms on the dance floor of our wedding reception.
I usually wasn’t a dancing kind of guy, but I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to hold my bride on our wedding day.
So, I was dancing, and Emma wasn’t complaining about my lack of dance skills or the way I was limping through the dance.
Honestly, I didn’t really know what other people thought anymore.
Shedidn’t care about my lack of skills or finesse on the dance floor, and that was all that really mattered to me.
Yeah, wewerefinally fucking married, and it had been the longest few months of my life.
I’d quickly arranged the details to get Emma and my daughter to California, and I’d gotten that accomplished in less than a month.
It hadn’t taken long for Emma to become fast friends with my partners’ wives, and Wren had continued on with her friendships here like she’d never left them.
My daughter professed that she loved her new school, and she spent as much time with her grandmother and her friends as she possibly could.
Emma and I had visited her mom soon after I’d put a ring on Emma’s finger.
Okay, I’d been a little nervous about meeting her mom.
Ihadbeen the man who had knocked her daughter up and left her alone to raise our child.
Even though she’d known that I’d never known about Wren, it would have still been easy for her to resent me for not being there for her daughter and my child anyway.
I hated it myself, so I wouldn’t have blamed her if she had resented my absence during some of those difficult times for her daughter.
Luckily, her mother had accepted me easily and enthusiastically, without a single hint of displeasure that I’d just shown up out of the blue.
We’d gotten even closer since that initial meeting.
