He smiled, then laid his head back down. My arms resumed their normal position curled around his shoulders. I closed my eyes and appreciated the warmth of his breath as he inhaled and exhaled softly across my skin. This was the perfect moment - I wanted to take a mental snapshot of this and never forget. My mate’s scent, his gentle yet sassy voice, his soft skin… Everything about him was simplyperfect.

My heart twisted with affection and I laughed. “As much as I love you and Noah, let’s just try two kids fornow.Deal?”
