We dispersed and I made my way upstairs to our room, stripping and climbing into bed beside Olivia.
“It’s late,” she whispered, rolling to face me.
“Yeah.”
“You okay?”
“I am now.”
She stroked my cheek. “What’s going on?”
“We’re going to war, baby.”
“Shit,” she breathed out. “Okay. I’ll get the women ready.”
“That’d be good, sweetness.”
“Hey.”
“Hm?”
“We got this,” she said, kissing my neck. “But you need to promise me you’re going to make him hurt.”
“Jesus, you’re as blood-thirsty as Badger.”
She chuckled. “Well, he’s a smart man.”
“We need to keep the cops off our back, Liv, so we’re not gonna kill him.”
“Dalton would understand.”
“I don’t think he would, sweetness, and you know it.”
“Okay, we can talk about this tomorrow.” She bit back a yawn.
“Sounds good,” I said, kissing her gently. “Sleep, baby.”
“’K.”
I felt our babies move as I laid my hand over her belly and I smiled. “I love you.”
“Love you, too, honey,” she whispered, and then I let her sleep.

Olivia
Ifelt Doc roll outof bed and opened my eyes to watch him walk to the bathroom. Lordy, I could watch that man do anything, especially naked. When he returned, he smiled, leaning down to kiss me quickly. “Like the view?”
“So, so much. Are you coming back to bed?”
He shook his head as he got dressed. “Got shit to do, sweetness, but you don’t need to be up yet, so go back to sleep.”
“I need to go to the condo today and pack up a few things. Can you go with me?”
“Yeah. Later though.”
I yawned. “Okay. Sounds good.”
