It’s a boy this time, and I know that Ryker is excited to be expanding our family. Our girls have him wrapped around their fingers, and I’m dying to see how he is with our son.
Ryker is the best dad and husband. He’s so sweet and patient with them. He’ll play dolls for hours with them, get dressed up for tea parties, and always put us first. I couldn’t ask for a better partner to go through life with.
“Did they get married?” Maria asks, and Ryker nods.
“They did. And they lived happily ever after.”
“Time for bed, you two,” I say, and the girls groan as they fall backwards onto their beds.
“We want another story!” Simone says, and I shake my head.
“You heard the boss. Time for bed,” Ryker says.
I help him get the girls tucked into bed, and we both kiss them goodnight before heading out of their room.
“The door got stuck?” I snicker, and Ryker grins, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
“What was I supposed to say? That I locked you in your room so that you couldn’t freak out and escape?”
“That’s one way to word it. Another would be that you tried to hold me hostage.”
“You wanted to be here though! I don’t think that hostage is the right word.”
Ryker leads me down the hall and around the corner to our bedroom. It’s still early and the full moon is just now starting to rise into the darkening sky. Even though the mating moon is just now coming out, I can already feel the desire pooling in my body.
“Romer and Ren will be here tomorrow,” I remind Ryker as we head into our bedroom.
“I know. It will be good to see those two. It’s been a while.”
Ryker is right. It’s been a few weeks since we last saw our friends. They were supposed to come last week but it was storming up in the mountains and Romer was concerned about them making it across the pass, so they had to postpone their trip to this weekend. I’m excited to catch up with Ren and Romer, and I know the girls are thrilled to play with their kids.
“How are you, mate?” Ryker asks, his hands coming to rest on my stomach.
“I’m good. Just a little tired… and hungry,” I add with a laugh.
“I’ll get you something to eat. What would you like?” He asks, and I smile.
I love how attentive he is. He would do anything to make me smile, to make me happy, and I’m the same with him.
“A grilled cheese with pickles,” I say right away, and he grins.
“I should have known.”
He kisses my cheek, and I smile as he heads out to get me my requested craving. I’ve been adding pickles to everything or just eating them as a snack. I swear, half the fridge in the kitchen is stocked with jars of them, and I know that Ryker ordered that to happen.
I never thought that I would have a love like this. I never thought that I would have a life like this. Coming to Scotland for that trip five years ago was supposed to be an adventure, a quick one before we went back to our boring lives in the states. Instead, Ren and I got the biggest surprise of them all.
I hear Ryker’s footsteps coming back down the hall, and I smile as I strip off my clothes and climb into bed.
Ryker pauses as he comes into the bedroom and sees me naked on the bed and I grin as his eyes darken with lust.
“Is my mate needy for something more than food?” He asks in a low gravelly voice.
“Uh huh,” I moan, and he’s on me in an instant.
I grin as he sets my food on the bedside table and comes down over my body.
“Need you, Ryker,” I pant as he kisses my neck.
