I know what he’s doing. He’s being a jerk for the sake of it.
“Five weeks, and yes, to answer any doubts you might have, it’s your child.” I laugh. “I can’t believe you were about to ask me that. You’re so insatiable, I barely have the energy to walk around the house, let alone fuck someone else.”
“Sorry.” He lets out a laugh. “Old habits die hard. I just needed you to acknowledge that last part. I’ve been dying to hear it. How come you didn’t tell me sooner?”
“We never talked about kids,” I say slowly.
“I wanted to broach the marriage subject first,” Kellan says. “I know how I feel about kids. They’re all going to be trouble, particularly if they carry the Boyd blood.” His fingers trail down my neck gently. “You’ll have your hands full. I cannot wait to start a family with you. I wish you had told me earlier.”
“Why?”
“Because I would have insisted that we get married soon so I can have you all to myself before I have to share you with a brat.” His smile softens, and I remember why I fell in love with him.
He’s funny, witty, and a little bit outrageous, and that’s exactly what I need in my life.
Someone who doesn’t take himself too seriously.
Someone who can make me laugh and let me be myself.
“You’ll be a great dad,” I whisper.
“I hope so.” His hand reaches for my fingers and gives them a light squeeze. “I’m going to spoil our kid to bits. And then there’s also Uncle Cash and Ryder. And my dad. They’ll go nuts when they hear this.”
I have no doubt about that. They’ve already been asking when we’d start a family.
“Come on.” I jump up from his lap and try to pull him to his feet, which, given his height and weight, is an impossible task. “I have great plans for you. After the stunt you pulled, I have to reward you.”
“I’ll take my reward happily. We could do it right here, right now.”
As his hands begin to roam my body, removing layers of clothes, until I’m naked and panting, his erection filling me, I see the strap of a handbag slung across one of the chairs.
Someone must have forgotten it.
It’ll only be a matter of time before they come back to get it.
They’ll catch us red-handed.
It wouldn’t be the first time.
Damn.
“Kellan,” I moan his name as wave after wave of pleasure rocks my body. “Let’s go home.”
“Home?” he asks, his voice hoarse, his smile naughty. I swear it’s the most mischievous I’ve ever seen. “We’re already home, Ava.”
His lips descend upon mine again, and it’s like the world stands still and everything around us is spinning. Our worlds crash, collide, blur in one single moment.
We couldn’t be more different: Kellan Boyd, a famous singer, and me, a normal girl from NYC.
But love happens.
One crash.
One beautiful distraction.
A cowboy who meets a city girl.
That’s how the ball started rolling. That’s how it all began. How the biggest sacrifice ended in the greatest reward. I can’t wait to become Ava Boyd.
Life out here might seem a bit boring, but there’s nothing boring about my future husband.
There’s something I need to tell him, but I can’t remember what it is. All I can do is make a silent promise to be the greatest wife he could ever have, because Kellan Boyd is one in a million.
And he’s mine.
----THE END----
