Besides, I think waiting even a few weeks helped my brother get used to the idea of his best friend with his little sister. He still doesn’t love the fact that I decided not to go to medical school, but he can’t deny how happy we are together. And I know he likes having me closer. Now that he doesn’t have to worry about me so much, maybe he can finally find a woman of his own.

“I can’t wait until Julia has another little cousin to play with,” Sophie says with a wink and glances at my stomach, which is swelling at an incredible rate. I’m going to need a bigger size of scrubs soon. “Or two,” she adds and I can’t help but laugh.

“I still can’t believe we’re having twins.” When Doc performed the ultrasound that explained exactly why I was expanding so quickly, both Briggs and I were in shock. He was the first to recover with a whoop and something about how powerful his seed was. It took me a little longer to wrap my head around the idea of two babies at once. But he did say he was going to putallthe babies inside me. I just didn’t think it would happen all at the same time.

“It’s going to be great,” Sophie says as she finishes tucking little baby Julia back into her car seat. “And with Maverick and Madi’s baby, too. The family is growing so quickly.”

Family.

It didn’t matter how many times I heard that; it filled me with warmth. It had always been just Jamie and me for as long as I could remember, and now I was part of a huge, loving family. It was incredible.

I walked Sophie to the front door of the clinic where I helped out Doc three days a week and gave her a hug with a promise to visit soon and borrow some maternity clothes.

Sophie was my last patient, so I call goodbye to Doc and head out. Briggs promised me a surprise later tonight, and my pussy has been wet all day thinking about it.

I don’t even have a chance to push the clinic door all the way open before it’s swept open, and the doorway is filled by the hulking presence of my husband.

“What are you doing here?”My sweet wife looks up at me with a smile. “I thought you were working up at the lodge today?”

“I was,” I tell her. “I am. But I’m taking a break to make sure my pregnant wife gets home safely.”

She tilts her head and gives me a look that I know means she’s holding her tongue, but I can’t help it if I’m protective of my girl. Especially now that she’s swollen with not one buttwoof my offspring.

“Briggs, you know I can get home on my own.”

“I sure do, honey.” I flash her a grin and hold the door as she steps out onto the sidewalk. “My wife is smart, capable, and strong.” It’s true—she is all of those things. “But she’s also the most precious thing in my life,” I add as I sweep her up and into my arms. Her stomach is too big for me to haul her over my shoulder, which is and will always be my favorite way to carry her, but I like this, too.

“Briggs.” She shakes her head, but when she presses her cheek against my chest, my heart swells with love for this woman.

We make the short drive home, where I once more scoop Mia up into my arms and carry her into the house. She laughs and protests the entire time, but I don’t mind.

And neither does my dick, which is already throbbing to life with her nearness. I cannot get enough of this woman. She is an addiction that only grows stronger by the day, and I’m a fortunate man, that she’s just as hot for me.

“I’m starving,” I announce as I walk through the living room. “I could really go for a snack.”

“A snack? But—” I deposit her on top of the cool granite kitchen island and wiggle my eyebrows until she shakes her head with a laugh. “Oh…that kind of snack.”

“The best kind, my love.”

I didn’t lie—Iamstarving for her. I quickly tug her scrub bottoms off, along with her panties, and toss them behind me before pulling her toward the edge of the counter. “Now lie back, honey, and get comfortable.” She does as I ask, and I lift her legs up and wrap them around me as I lower my face to her sweet, delicious center and lick my lips. “Because I am very, very hungry.”

She squeals as my tongue finds its target and I begin my feast.

TEN YEARS LATER…

Ilove doing the bedtime routine with the kids. Reading stories to our three youngest and hearing all about the twins’ day is one of the highlights of my day. But there are some times when I can’t wait for our five offspring to settle down and succumb to sleep, so I can get to my very favorite part of the day.

Being alone with my sweet wife.

Finally, after two stories, and three water glass refills, all five kids are tucked in and, if not already asleep, on their way to dreamland. I flip off the light in our little girl’s room and close the door softly behind me before taking the stairs two at a time to find Mia.

She’s in the kitchen, making sandwiches for the kids’ lunches. She looks up with a smile when she hears me. “Did they go down okay?”

“Sure did. The boys mentioned something about a frog in school…should I know about that?”
