He cuts me off by pulling back and locking his lips on mine. His kiss is fierce and dominant, and I melt into him. I feel just a trace of a tear on my cheek and realize that he’s happy about this news. The relief I feel knowing that he’s happy makes this so much sweeter. Knowing that Leo wants me and our little family has butterflies taking off inside my body.
“I can’t wait,” he says, breaking our kiss and pushing up my dress. “I need you, Samantha. Now.”
I feel the same way. It’s as if we need to seal the deal, and there’s no time like the present. Reaching down, I undo his slacks and pull out his hard cock, just as he rips my lacy thong off me. The feeling of him being in control makes all my insecurities melt away.
Lining us up, I plunge down on him, taking his entire length inside me at once. We both let out moans at the contact, needing the connection.
In a sudden panic, Leo tries to lift me off him. “Oh, God, the baby!” he shouts, and I have to try to hold in my laugh.
“Shhh. It’s fine. Everything is going to be fine.” I slowly lower back down on his cock as I kiss his lips.
I feel him grip my hips, helping me ride him, as he kisses me back. “Better than fine, Samantha. This is the greatest day of my life. In a matter of minutes, you’ve given me everything I ever could have wanted.”
He pulls my mouth back to his, and I become a puddle in his arms. His words so loving and so tender. He’s truly the most wonderful man that ever lived. He’s perfect.
Our bodies are as attuned as they always are, and Leo takes what he wants from me, while giving me what I need. I cum while he holds my hips and fucks me, telling me how much he loves me and how he can’t wait to spend the rest of his life making babies with me.
I clench around him hard enough to send him over the edge, and we hold one another tightly as our passions mix.

It’s not until I feel him pulling out of me that I realize that I’ve fallen asleep. He rights our clothes and holds me to him as he carries me out of the car and into our home.
Our home.
The thought makes me smile and snuggle more into him. The day I found out I was pregnant, I knew it was time to end the Auctions. I knew the life I had growing up, and I never wanted the same for my child. I was nervous to tell Leo, but I should have known better. He’s wanted this from the beginning, and he proved it today, if the ring he’s been carrying around is any indication.
As he carries me inside and takes me to bed, I let all the fear and anxiety melt away. This is where I want to be for the rest of my life. In his bed and in his arms.
“I love you, Leo,” I say, kissing his lips.
“I’m never going to get tired of hearing you say that.” He kisses me passionately, and we make love and talk about the future all night. It’s the best day of my life and the first day on the road to our life as a family.
I may have gone about getting my happily ever after in a not-so-traditional way, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t get it.
Epilogue
Leo
A few months later…
When I hear the buzz for the gate, I look up from my computer screen to see a delivery truck pulling up at the entrance. I really should just build a guard shack at the end of the driveway to accept deliveries at this point. I don’t like how Samantha buzzes them in so easily.
Since Samantha has found out we’re having twins—a little boy and girl—the deliveries haven’t stopped. She has filled up a whole room full of stuff. I have a feeling I’m going to be donating a lot of things that have never even been opened. Not that I care. I love how excited she is about this. I never thought I could be this happy. It wasn’t even a year ago I was fighting her to spend her nights with me. Now we’re practically inseparable.
Once she told me that she didn’t think I wanted to be seen out with her because I was embarrassed. I showed her just how proud of her I was. I love putting my hands on her in public to let everyone know she’s mine. That I have somehow made one of the most powerful—if not the most powerful—women in Vegas fall for me.
To find out that we were both keeping our distance in front of others because we thought that was what the other needed was ridiculous. I told her we’d never go through that shit again. All cards on the table at all times, and it’s been that way since. Now we can’t seem to keep our hands off each other. At home or in public.
Since the Auction we've been spending a lot of time with the Cortez clan and a few other couples that found their own happily ever after. And babies seem to be coming from everywhere. Samantha has a silent competition that our babies will have the best baby rooms. She’ll definitely win if the winner is whoever has the most delivery boxes in a room. Or if she sticks that assistant of hers—who goes a mile a minute—on the task.
