“Oh, goodie. She received your sarcasm by just living with you. I can’t wait to see what the baby is like. If the universe cares about my sanity, you’re having a boy.”

She laughed.

“Yeah. Let’s do it, Cowboy. Let’s get married right now. Shouldn’t you call your family?” she asked.

He laughed.

“You think I wasn’t going to? Do you know the Major? Stella? Merry? If I don’t invite them, they will ride my ass. Or better yet. I have an idea.”

She was curious.

“What?”

When he told her, she laughed.

“Do it. I want to see their faces. Oh, and Dakota?” she asked.

He waited.

“I love you. I’m glad you figured it out. I was going to propose myself, but it entailed hitting you over the head and dragging you to the courthouse.”

He grinned.

“Kinky. I like it, Adder. Maybe the first part later.”

She snorted.

Then, she focused on Violet.

A ridiculously happy pregnant woman.

She’d coveted that.

Her mouth plundered, stole, and drove the heat up. The whole time, his heart was racing, and he knew the truth.

He was in love.

And the only thing he wanted was Adder.

As.

His.

Wife.
