“I really think I should get like a few extra twenties 'cause I cut off like two minutes.” She holds up two fingers.
“She’s not wrong.” I shrug. Jisa finishes my hair and moves over to do Lily’s.
“There you are.” Ari comes striding into the dining room like I’ve been hiding and he’s been searching the whole house for me.
“Do you have pink sparkles on your cheek?” I ask him.
“Got in a fight with a sparkly unicorn pinata.”
Lily gasps. “He can’t hit a sparkly unicorn pinata.” She places her hand to her chest. The money is still in her tiny hand. I bite the inside of my cheek so I don’t laugh. I bet my husband spent forever getting this thing hung, and now there is no way Lily is going to let anyone hit it.
“I guess it’s decoration then.” Jisa and Olivia burst into laughter.
“I need to shower and get myself ready.” Ari kisses the top of Lily’s head. Then he plucks me right from my seat.
“Hey, I just did her hair!” his mom yells after Ari as he steals me away. Not that he cares.
“Don’t even bother. He’s going to be all kissy on her. I think he’s got a problem or somethin’,” I hear Lily tell her grandma.
“I do have a problem,” Ari whispers into my ear. “I haven't tasted my wife in hours.”
“We can’t have that, now can we?” I tease him back. “Not like I’ll put up a fight.” Ari kicks the bedroom door closed behind us, then lays me out across our bed. His hand drifts across my baby bump.
“I didn’t think I would get any complaints from my wife.” He leans down and kisses me. I wrap my arms around him, not caring we’re about to have a giant family party in less than an hour.
“Of course not. I have Stockholm syndrome.”
“Liar.” He smiles against my mouth. “You love me, and you know it.”
“I do,” I say. The best two words I ever said when I vowed to be his forever.

THE END!
Sealed With A Kiss
BY ALEXA RILEY
When Parker orders a battery-operated boyfriend, she doesn't mean to send it to her brand new boss. Having him open it is scary enough, but having him deliver it to her? Catastrophic. That is, until he makes her a deal she can't refuse.
Samuel might have gotten her order by accident, but he's not willing to give it up just yet. In fact, she can't have it until she's ready to show him how she uses it.
Warning: His package is what she wants, and her box is the only thing that will satisfy his needs. If we can't make puns about mail delivery, what's even the point of life?!
For self-care.
Buy the vibrator.

Chapter One
PARKER
“How did I know I’d find you here?” Liam says as he drops down in the little metal chair next to mine.
He’s wearing his jersey again today, and I’m starting to wonder if he owns any other shirts. I quickly close my book and turn to him. Why is he even here? I'm going to have to find a new spot to kill time while I wait for Lexi to get out of her class. Mine ends around twenty minutes before hers does, so I’m always here.
