gift and I will invest every ounce of love I’m capable of right into the three people who mean more to me than anything else in the world.”
Even in my dreams, Devlin never professed his love. Maybe I had blocked it out, too afraid to even let myself go there. But here he was, giving me something that I wasn’t anywhere near prepared for.
“Don’t think past what you feel in your heart.” The touch of his fingertips moved further down until they were where they’d been at the hospital. My legs moved as my mind begged for him to go lower. “Tell me you’re willing to try to be a family with me.”
What if he hurt me? What if he didn’t?
“You’re going to cheat on me.” My biggest fear came tumbling out and with it, he smiled.
“If I had the smallest doubt, I wouldn’t even be in this room. You’re it for me, Victoria. Only you. Now, say yes. Say we’ll be a real family.”
God, I wanted it. In my heart I did.
He moved down to the lining of my panties and my eyes shut. Why shouldn’t I be happy? At least try to be. How would it feel to be able to kiss him whenever I wanted? To have him sleep in my bed? I’d longed for him for so long that it hurt to even think about it. Fear and all rational thought subsided at the distraction of his fingers. The questions faded and my love for him won. “Yes.” I opened my lids, staring him right in the eyes. “We can be a family. But if you hurt me…if you hurt Ava by screwing this up…”
“Never.” He lowere d, his lips brushing into mine, an almost nonexistent touch. “I see what I have. Nothing and no one is going to come in the way of me making this work. But I want to be honest with you.”
When he lifted, my stomach plummeted at his expression. Whatever he was about to confess was going to be big. I knew it, and there was nothing I could do to prepare myself. Not when I didn’t know what it concerned.
“What?” My hands pulled at the belt, my mind already in run-mode.
His touch eased down my cheek until one of his fingers made a path over my lower lip. “I want you to be the one who signs my contract. Not now. Maybe not six months from now. But before our new baby is born, I want us to be married and I don’t want you able to ever leave me.”
Hadn’t I laughed at that part? Thought it absurd?
“I can’t do that.”
“You say that now because you don’t believe what I’m telling you. I will earn your trust. You’ll see there’s nothing to worry about.”
I laughed sarcastically. “Some men cheat on their wives after they’ve been married for fifty years. You can’t tell me you’re psychic. I have every right to file for divorce if that’s the case.”
He looked down, licking his lips. “What if I add that part in? You’re not able to leave me unless I’m unfaithful. Will you sign it then? Would you sign it now?”
Wasn’t that my biggest fear? Cheating? Him going back to the way he used to be? If I knew he’d stay faithful, I would have embraced what we shared with open arms a long time ago. Nothing else worried me with him. But…
“If you added in the cheating part and the drinking part, I might consider it. A few drinks here and there or at dinner are fine, but if you’re stumbling around the house wasted every night, I pull the plug. Ava and the new baby will not be exposed to that or put in danger because of an alcoholic father.”
“Done.” His lips pushed into mine again. “A million times, done.”
I met his tongue as it surged in my mouth. The contract. The worries. It all disappeared as his taste intoxicated me. I pulled at the belt, trying to get closer. His hand cupped around my chin, the tips of his fingers pushing into my cheek with just the right amount of force.
“This mouth belongs to me from this night on.” His other hand cupped my breast, squeezing against the sensitivity, causing me to cry out. “Mine,” he said, moving lower. “And this,” he fitted his hand over my panties, pushing
