“Wow, Messenger,” Chloe muses. “I bet you’ve never fantasized about having a threesome with Dudley and me. Sometimes, reality gives us things too wonderful for us to ever hope for.”
“Marshall.” I lop my head forward again, only to find his mouth edging lower down my chest. It feels electric, dizzying, and blissful, and if he keeps this up, I might just pee myself again with glee. A dull moan comes from me just as the door bursts open and in strides Logan with one hell of a worried look on his face.
“Get the hell away from her,” he barks, and true to form, they both promptly ignore him.
Ezrina bustles in along with Nev, and behind them are Laken, Ellis, and Giselle.
My entire body breathes a sigh of relief at the sight of all of them.
“Dude.” Logan tries to shoo Ellis from the room. “She’s naked.” It takes less than a moment for Logan to evict Marshall from my person, and if I’m not mistaken, I felt a little suctioning on my left nipple as Marshall was rising from the bed. Honestly, I don’t care. I don’t care who is hanging off my enormously engorged boobs as long as this nightmare that has taken over my body ends quickly.
“Skyla.” Logan lands a quick kiss to my mouth while pulling the comforter over my body as best he can.
Laken glowers at Chloe a moment. “I’ll get a sheet.” She disappears into the closet with Marshall. And if Marshall knows what’s good for him, he won’t notice that Laken has boobs, let alone dangle off them. Wes will kill him, that’s for sure.
Logan sits up next to me with admiration written over his face, and it warms me. His deep amber eyes glow with something just this side of desire, and I can feel his very being pulsating with love.
“I’m sorry I’m late. I wondered why for the life of me I couldn’t get back here. Skyla, it was as if my truck was possessed.”
“It was.” I glower at Chloe. “Most likely by her husband. Good thing my mother probably intervened. But you didn’t miss it. You’re going to hold your baby girl in just a little while.”
“Wait a minute.” Chloe gives my toes a pinch. “Didn’t I pump out a kid on this very day a few years back?”
I groan, “Chloe, we were all just at Tobie’s birthday party a little while ago.”
She checks her phone. “If you shoot this kid out of your ass in the next four hours, our children will have the same birthday. Isn’t that great? The universe is connecting us in so many ways. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” She gets right back to massaging my foot.
“Chloe, you can go now. I’ve got plenty of help. And I’ve got one serious bone to pick with the universe when I get off this medieval runaway baby train.”
Laken runs my way and lands a cool sheet over my body, helping to tuck it in artfully as if it were a dress.
“Skyla!” Giselle beams. “You look like a Grecian goddess. I learned all about those beautiful women at Host. And you would be the prettiest of them all. I’m going to stay. I want to watch my niece as her head pokes between your legs just like on that cake Emily baked.”
I make a face as I spot Ellis sulking in the corner.
“You can come, too, Ellis,” I say. “You saw it all last time, anyway.” I hike up on my elbows as I look to Logan—my Logan, the love of my life with his comely features and that elongated scar running down his face. “Our family is about to grow, Logan. This baby is a piece of you and me. We made a life,” I say as tears run down my cheeks. “I love you so much.”
He leans in and blesses my lips with a kiss. “I love you, too. This was a long time coming. I can’t wait to hold her again. I’ve missed her so much. And as soon as she’s here, I feel as if our family will be complete.”
I press my lips tight as I nod, and sure enough another contraction hits and I let out an egregious roar.
“Skyla!” Giselle hops up with her hand at her throat. “Don’t do that! You’re going to scare the baby.”
I moan hard as my stomach begins to loosen again. “Believe me, Giselle. If I could scare this baby out of my body, I would do it in a heartbeat.”
Ellis looks a little green around the gills as he does his best to not look anywhere near my body.
“Harrison,” I bark. “Light one up. I need a hit.”
The entire room groans in protest.
Marshall reappears from the holy huddle he, Ezrina and Nev were lost in.
“Out of the way.” He shoos Giselle from the foot of the bed. “Rina needs to set up camp, I’m afraid.”
“Dude.” Logan kicks Ellis’ hand just as he’s about to obey my wishes. “She’s not smoking a joint.”
“Well, I am,” Ellis grunts. “Good luck with the kid, Skyla. I’ll be back once you’re holding her in your arms. If you need me, I’ll be right outside this door.”
