I open the cardboard box and read the instructions, my entire body trembling. When I’m pretty sure I know what to do, I motion for him to leave. “Just give me a minute.”
Crossing his arms over his broad chest, Xander leans a hip against the vanity, an eyebrow raised. “I’m not going anywhere. You’re going to be my wife, sunshine, and I’m going to watch you birth my children. You better get used to using the fucking toilet in front of me.”
Heat spreads through me all the way to my core.
What the fuck is wrong with me? Why am I like this?
As if he can read my thoughts, Xander chuckles. “It’s okay to like something as long as it’s safe, sane, and consensual, baby. Just go with it.”
I look at him, deadpan. “I don’t know if you know what those words mean. You said earlier that you weren’t asking me tomarry you because you were keeping me no matter what. I don’t think that falls under consensual. Or sane.”
The way his stone-blue eyes sparkle makes me weak in the knees, and I feel like the luckiest woman alive.
“I’m definitely not sane, sunshine. And I would definitely lock you up against your consent in our house until you changed your mind and decided you wanted to be with me. But you’re always safe with me.”
My throat closes up on me, and I nod silently, trying not to cry. He heard me. When I told him I needed to feel safe all the time, he listened, and he chose me.
As my eyes immediately start to water at that thought, I already know what this test is going to say.
He watches me as I pee on the little stick. When I meet his gaze after I’ve finished, he stares at me like he’s in awe of me. Like he’s proud of me.
“It says it can take up to fifteen minutes,” I tell him when I’m done washing my hands.
“I know something we can do for fifteen minutes.” He steps up behind me and presses his cock into my ass.
Grinning, I let my head fall forward, fully on board with this idea, but when I do, my eyes catch one word, and I suck in a breath.
Pregnant.
A soft knockon the bathroom door startles me, and I scramble to stand, but Xander tightens his hold on me. After we saw the test result, we hugged for a long time. Eventually, he sat on theclosed toilet lid and pulled me down onto his lap, and we’ve been here snuggling ever since.
“Come in,” Xander calls out.
Jordyn peeks her head in like she’s unsure whether she should, even though he just said she could come in. It’s cute.
“Are you guys okay? I mean, you can be in here for as long as you want, but it’s been a couple of hours, and we’re getting a little worried.”
Oh, crap. I didn’t realize that much time had passed. “Sorry,” I tell her with a weak smile. “But also, I’m pregnant.”
She screams, and the next thing I know, Cash, Beckett, Kian, and Caleb come crashing into the bathroom, ready to go to war. I guess it’s a good thing this place is a mansion, and there isn’t a single room that would be considered small.
“What the hell is going on?” Cash demands.
“You three,” Xander says while continuing to stroke my back, “are going to be uncles.”
It takes a second for his words to register with his brothers, but as soon as it does, they start to congratulate us while Jordyn squeals like this is the most exciting news ever. Caleb leans against the doorframe, watching it all in his usual stoic silence.
When the excitement dies down, Xander pulls me into his side and presses a kiss to my temple. “Let’s go home, baby.”
Tilting my head back, I smile up at him. “Not yet. We have a wedding to go to first.”
He grins. “Are you sure? Do you feel up to it? I’ll give you the wedding of your dreams whenever you want, but I’d like you to have my last name when we go to bed tonight.”
“I’m sure. I want to marry you. Make me yours forever, Daddy.”
“Baby, you’re already mine forever. Now and in the afterlife.”
