I felt everything shift between us, that pivotal turning point that told me we were right at the same place, thinking the same thing.
I laid my hand on her belly once more. She’d know how serious I was by the time I fucked her. “And my baby will be right here,” I said and added pressure. “Tell me that’s what you want, too. Tell me you want to get big with my child.”
She was breathing so hard.
“I want your child in me.”
I groaned. Yeah, you fucking do.
Epilogue One
Tex
A month later
“Come here,” I said, demanded, really. I growled low when she walked over to me right away. I was sitting on the couch, and immediately pulled her onto my lap, loving the feel of her body on mine. I was enjoying it so much my cock started to get hard, something that seemed to happen even if she just walked into the room.
I buried my face against her hair, inhaling the sweet scent that always surrounded her. “Fuck, I love you.” I sounded like an asshole saying it like that, but Calissa seemed to bring out the barbaric side of me.
I cupped the back of her head and leaned in close, our mouths inches apart. I slipped my tongue along hers. It might have only been a month since we’d started seeing each other, since I told her I was claiming her, filling her with my seed, but I knew this woman was for me. And she accepted it all.
“I can promise you a lot of things, but not being a possessive and territorial alpha where you’re concerned isn’t one of them.”
For the last month I’d fucked her so many times I was surprised my cock hadn’t fallen off. But damn, it would have been worth it.
She chuckled softly. “I wouldn’t want it any other way, if I’m being honest.” She leaned in and kissed me this time. When she pulled back she was smiling. That one look had my entire body coming to life. That’s all it took from her, just one look, one touch.
“All I need in this world is you.”
“God, the things you say.” She snuggled up closer to me. “I think I fall more in love with you every day.”
“Glad I’m not the only one.” I leaned in and kissed her. “You’ll never have to know what it feels like not to have me by your side,” I said against her mouth. I kissed her for a prolonged moment before pulling away and looking into her eyes. “I love you.” Those three words didn’t seem to do how I felt justice. They seemed grossly understated.
There was more to life, more to my life now, and it was all because of Calissa. She was—is—my everything.
Epilogue Two
Calissa
Six months later
It had only been six months after Tex and I made things official, after he’d claimed me and told me what he wanted … which was me. Since then, I canceled the lease on my place, moved in with him, and we got engaged. Talk about whiplash. I chuckled at the thought of how we’d gone from then to now, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
I’d known him for years, wanted him for that long, and once he told me what he desired, that he wanted me by his side, as only his, well, how could a girl not accept that fully? This was what I wanted, and I was finally getting it.
But right now wasn’t about any of that. Right now was about me standing in the bathroom, scared out of my mind, and not knowing what the future held.
I was nervous, afraid, excited, and was holding my breath as I stared down at the pregnancy test in my hand. I’d peed on it twenty minutes ago, but the little stick was turned around so I couldn’t actually see the results. My heart was pounding in my chest, the realization that I could very well be pregnant causing the blood to rush through my veins and had my pulse slamming against my throat.
My hands shook as I stared down at that stick, knowing that the result would change my life. It would change our lives.
Here I was, not even a year into our relationship, both of us wanting children, and the worry that I wasn’t pregnant playing over and over again in my mind.
Just turn it over and see what it says.
It wasn’t like we’d ever used any protection, and to be honest, I was surprised I hadn’t gotten pregnant sooner. Tex’s passion was raw and unhinged, was consuming and all for me.
And we both wanted a baby, a family. I’d known that since the moment I realized I loved him, that I wanted him in my life.
I turned the test over and stared at the results.
Pregnant.
I felt a wave of emotions slam into me. Excitement, anxiety, disbelief, fear. But most of all I felt happiness.
