He shook hands, gave Mac a kiss on the cheek, then twined Jordan’s fingers through his and headed home.Nyx obviously knew something had changed, staying super close to Jordan, constantly looking for any threat until the stepped inside.Even then, the dog curled up at Jordan’s feet, calm but primed.

Jordan sighed.“It’s going to be a long nine months if you’re both going to be on edge the whole time.”

“I’m perfectly calm, sweetheart.And Nyx is just showing you she’s ready to protect you and the baby…”

Baby.

“God, don’t you start, too.I’m fine.I just…” He leaned over, placed his hand on her belly and kissed her.“Why do I have the feeling you’re still going to be vaulting over counters and taking down wet squads when you can barely see your toes?”

“I’ll always be able to see my toes, and I’ll always be Ember.At least, a part of me will.”

“Good, because I love her, too.Now, how about we head into the bedroom, and I show you how much.”

Jordan jumped up, walking toward their room before stopping and glancing at him over her shoulder.“You’re on.And Kash… I love you more.”
