“Thank you. I try. But I’m still not going to kiss you when I have my cock in my wife.”
“Man, fuck off.” He laughed, and that made me grin.
“Take my spot in bed tonight,” I said. “You’ll have to fight Ryder, but I think you deserve to be at her side.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll take the spare room.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
He hesitated for a moment before smiling at me and leaving for the bedroom.
Cole Scott wasn’t so bad. Of course, now that I knew he had a vow to follow through on, I was a little on edge.
But who knew. Maybe his bitch mother would catch a bullet with her teeth before it came back to bite us all in the ass.

“Idon’t like that you’re leaving,” I said, watching as Anson packed his bags. I knew he had to work, but it really sucked because I felt like I didn’t get to see him like I used to. Of course, I was used to being with him daily. This was a big change for us.
“Baby, I don’t want to go,” he murmured, stepping in front of me. He leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. “But I have all these meetings lined up. Evan is going to be here and take care of you with Ryder. I’ll be a call away. Klaus too.”
“I know.” I sighed and kissed him. “I just want my family together.”
“When I get back, we’ll be seeing the doctor,” he said. “For paternity on the babies.”
I swallowed. “I’m scared.”
“Of what?”
“I don’t really know. I just feel scared. I guess I want one baby for each of you, but I know that’s rare.”
“Dom made it happen.” He pressed a kiss to my forehead. “If they’re both Cole’s, I’ll make it up to you as soon as you’re ready to go again.”
“Promise?”
He chuckled. “LeeLee, it’s going to get really hectic. Twins? And Ellis? And Cole? Baby, it’ll be a madhouse.”
I smiled at that. “I hope so.”
“I love you endlessly.” He kissed me deeply. “We’ll make sure there’s magic. Believe me?”
“Yes,” I whispered against his lips. We’d already had sex twice this morning alone. Anson had invited Ryder, but he only kissed me and said to have fun. Ryder hadn’t joined in with us at all yet. Instead, he’d leave the apartment. Neither had Cole, but Cole had gone home two nights ago and hadn’t really been back. Dante had dropped Ellis off yesterday, and Cole promised he’d stop in tonight since his schedule at the hospital was heavy for the next few days.
“I want to talk to you about something before we leave,” he continued.
“What is it?”
“Come on.” He took my hand and led me from the bedroom. Evan, Ryder, and Klaus were in the living room talking from various perches on the furniture.
I went to Ryder and slid onto his lap. He seemed surprised by the move and looked around at the guys for a moment, almost as if he were asking for permission.
“She’s your girl too,” Klaus said with a little laugh. “We aren’t going to kick your ass.”
