Gunner told her he had a surprise for her for Valentine’s, she expected a box of chocolates (which would have been very welcome in spite of her ever spreading ass), or maybe even baby clothes (which they were definitely going to need). But his surprise involved a blindfold, a seemingly never ending car journey and an awkward walk because she was not so helpless that she would submit to being carried everywhere.
“Gunner,” she said wearily.
“We’re here, babe. Happy Valentine’s Day.”
He whipped the blindfold off, and she blinked at the bright Los Lobos sun. “Where are we?”
He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck. “Our new home.”
“Our new…” Her voice trailed away as she caught sight of an enormous, beautiful house. It looked just like the Halliwell house from Charmed. Oh, she missed that show . “That’s our house?”
“Yep. You like?”
“It’s… it’s….” Tears pricked at her eyes. Damn pregnancy hormones .
“Perfect?” he murmured into her ear.
She nodded and sniffled, drawing his arms further around her. “I… I…”
“Love it?”
“Mmmm hmm. I’m…”
“An extremely lucky woman to have such a wonderful, handsome, sexually thrilling mate?”
He chuckled as she elbowed him. “Just wait until you see the inside,” he purred. “Four bedrooms – including a huge master bedroom with a walk-in closet, two and a half bathrooms, a huge kitchen, enormous garden for the cubs to run around in and a study which I figure we can turn into a playroom either for the cubs or us – if you get my drift.” He nipped her shoulder, and she moaned softly.
“I should never have made you watch Fifty Shades of Grey,” she muttered. “But really, this is incredible, Gunner. Can we afford it?”
“Sure, my parents gave us the down payment, so we’re golden.”
“I don’t want to owe them…”
“Gave, babe, not lent. They wanted to give us something for the cubs, and I said this would be the best thing. You’re not pissed at me for arranging all this are you?”
Erin did a slow spin in his arms to face him. Everything she did was slow these days . “I love it. It’s the best gift I’ve ever been given.”
“You mean other than the three little gifts right here.” He smoothed his hand over her swollen stomach and waggled his eyebrows while leering.
She rolled her eyes at him. “Now about our house, can we take a look today?”
“Yep. I was hoping we could actually start moving in today, but the owner’s been dragging his heels. Hopefully, he should be gone by the end of the week. But he said we’re free to come in and start measuring for furniture or whatever. We’re going to need to buy more furniture.”
“I can’t wait.” She was particularly looking forward to buying the crib, or rather, cribs.
Gunner gave her a searching look. “You really are surprised, right?”
Erin frowned. “Of course. Why do you ask?”
He shrugged. “I just worried that you might get a vision of it, that’s all.”
“Nope, we are vision free on this one. This is the best surprise I’ve ever had.”
“You mean other than…”
“Are we looking at this house or what?” She tapped her foot impatiently.
Gunner beamed as he untangled his arms and took her hand. “C’mon, let me give you a tour.”
Erin stopped him and gently pulled him down for a kiss. His hands caressed her back before resting on her ass. She gave him a muffled ‘love you’ and he returned it with ‘well, you’re only human’ which earned him a playful slap on the shoulder.
When they finally pulled apart, she gave him a sheepish look. “Now I feel bad about what I got you for Valentine’s. I can take them back and get you something better.”
“Don’t you dare,” growled Gunner, his eyes flashed to the brown of his beast. “Besides, it’s too late; I’m already wearing them.”
He smirked
