Cole Remington was the soulmate I’d never believed in until I met him.
“I’m fine,” I whispered back to him, knowing he was waiting for my answer.
He quirked a brow.
I shot him an enormous smile because it was the only way he was going to leave this alone until the service was over.
“That smile and those dimples get me every time,” he grumbled.
I knew that.
He’d told me that at least a million times.
How could Cole not be my soulmate?
Only the man I was meant to love would actually be mesmerized by my dimples.
I let out a long sigh as the service concluded, hoping that Lorraine could somehow see how well her boys had grown up.
Something told me that she’d be very proud of the sons she’d loved so much.

“Do you think Asher really was okay with the family showing up today?” Lauren asked as she presented her back to me in the master bedroom so I could unzip her dress.
The navy dress was demure and modest, which was appropriate for the occasion, but she still looked stunning.
Lauren had kicked her heels off and was patiently waiting for me to unzip her.
Fuck!I loved it when she wanted me to do something intimate like this for her.
I supposed it was something normal couples did for each other every day, but I’d never been in anything close to a normal relationship.
I also really liked the fact that Lauren seemed to have absolutely no problem stripping in front of me anymore. She’d changed during the weeks that we’d been dating. She seemed more comfortable in her own skin, and with her own sexuality.
Her growing confidence in that department made me pretty damn ecstatic.
She was a beautiful woman who never should have had any hangups about her body in the first place.
I moved her hair and unzipped her, dropping a kiss on the back of her neck. “Asher might have acted annoyed,” I answered. “But he didn’t mind at all. I think he was glad that the family had shown up for Mom.”
“I thought so, too,” she said as she shimmied out of her dress. “But I really don’t know him, so all I could go by was my instinct.”
I blatantly stared as Lauren took her dress and folded it over the back of the recliner.
I should probably be used to Lauren’s sexy underwear by now, but the black set made of lace and silk that she was currently wearing was particularly sexy.
“I’m glad I didn’t know you were wearing those earlier today,” I rumbled. “My cock would have been hard at a very inappropriate time.”
She stepped in front of me and smiled as she started to undo my tie. “You like these?” she teased.
“I love them, and you know it. If you keep undressing me, you know exactly what’s going to happen right now,” I warned her.
“I know it’s been a long day,” she said hesitantly. “I understand if you don’t want—”
“There’s never going to be a time when I don’t want you, angel,” I said gruffly.
“I just want to make your day a little bit nicer than it’s been for you so far,” she said softly as she kept unbuttoning my shirt. “I’m hoping you’ll let me finish this time.”
